CHAPTER FIVE.:The face of Simbas Enemy.
(an: hope you all enjoy chapter 5 :) )
Simba,who had far by now gotton used to the cold weather was begging to finnally after so long,get the hang of hunting.Because one day when Li was sleeping,and Simba was out and about on his "Daily Bathroom Search." He spotted a fairly large fawn grazing in a bald spot near the edge of the forest,so wanting to test this out he snuck over to where the fawn was.Then he pounded on the fawn,and after a small chase..the fawn finnally fell.Ah...Simba thought to himself as he sat on the edge of the forest eating his meal happilly. My first Kill..i wonder what my dad whould say about this...He imagined himself back at Pride Rock,and his father back alive,then Simba walking to him carrying or dragging a dead animal.
br>
"Look daddy look! I got my first Kill!" Simba said happilly running to Mufasa,who was sitting watching the sun rise on another beautiful day.Mufasa turned to see Simba dragging something up,he smiled with pride seeing his son drag it up and drop it at his feet.
br>
"Very good son.Im so proud of you!" He brought him into a hug,smiling down at Simba glowing with pride.Possibly moreso then the sun which was rising over the back of Mufasa's head right now.Mufasa then yelled to Sarabi,and she came out looking at Mufasa smiling
. br>
"What is it Mufasa?" She said walking over to him and sitting down.
br>
"Our son.." Mufasa began,and he put a big enphasis on Son. "Has caught his first kill!" He then beamed down at his son,positivily glowing with pride and happiness.Sarabi yelled as well and went to hug Simba.He laughed softly and nuzzled into her taking in the warm smell of her fur.So calming,So comforting.He then went to hug his father,and Mufasa grabbed him into a tight hug.Mufasa then stood up and let out a loud roar to let everyone know food was here.The lioness's slowly crept out,grabbed a peace of the food and then turned around,and they all walked back inside the cave.
Someone was now nudging his head.It seemed like Mufasa but the voice was ehcoing strangly and then he remembered he was dreaming.He sat bolt upright,looked around..relized where he was and sighed sadly returning his head back on his paws.A tear slipped out from his eyes.The vision,or dream or whatever it was seemed so real.He felt like he was in his fathers warm paws again,hugging him telling him of his first kill.But he was staring into the eyes of Li.
br>
She smiled at him."You fell asleep..you gobbled that thing up and then fell asleep...i was worried about you but you must have been having a good dream..what was it about?"
br>
Simba shrugged.He didnt want to talk about it right now...he just wanted to go back to sleep and dream of the same thing again.And now that Li was staring at him,he felt sick to his stomach. "I...i want to be alone." He said finnaly not looking at Li.She frowned but nodded. "Was it something i said?If it was im sorry i didnt know."
br>
He shrugged again. "No...its not that Li...its..i dont know really...I just want to be alone.Ill see you later." Simba said sadly bowing his head and walking into the trees his tail between his legs.Why...why did that dream seem so real? I..i felt my father hugging me..i smelled him..why did it have to be a dream? He sighed sadly.When he thought he walked away enough,glances back and then sat down behind a fallen tree.He suddenly forgot how old he was,how long hed been with the leapords,all he wanted now was to go home,more then anything now..and although he knew it was impossible,see his father.
br>
It was becomming dark now,and he got up walking into a clearing and yelled into the night,right at the stars blinking back at him. "WHY Dad! Why did you leave me! WHY did you have to die!" Nothing happend whatsoever,he was hoping something whould,but after five mintues he collapsed into the bald spot which was just grass.
Simba fell into a deep sleep again,he hoped right before he fell asleep that he may dream of the same thing he did before he was relucktently awaken by Li.And again he did dream,but not of what he was hoping.He was in the pridelands again,but there was no life in them,they were dead,and not one animal was out there.Simba moved through the once beautiful lands,and frowned looking around as he made his way to Pride Rock.When he got there however he found there were nobody there at all.Instead one lonely lion who was dieing was inside the cave barley breathing.The lioness(when Simba got close enough to see) was barley alive,and her ribs were showing.
br>
He stared in disbelief at her.It was his mother,Sarabi.She was uncontious,her ribs slowly inflating with her breathing in and out.He called out to her. "Mom! Mom wake up! Please Mom wake up!" He nudged her but she continued to lay there,uncontious,and unable to move. Simba suddenly felt a rush of hatred twords whoever did this.
br>
Who or whatever did this was unforgivable.Simba whould make sure they never did this again.He then had a sensation he was being watched.He turned around and saw a figure,male slip out of sight.This,Simba thought. Is the animal who did this!Simba let out a strong roar which shook the cave and ran after the mysterious figure."Hey!" Simba yelled. "Stop!" The figure stopped looked at him and took off,Simba on his heels.
br>
He didnt care where this figure was going or even if he was gonna be out numbered,all he knew was that everyone was gone,everything was taken from him...His father..Li and her family,and now..now his real mother lay dieing because of starvation,and who knew what else.
br>
The figure stopped at a rope bridge connecting two peices of land.Simba followed him onto it,and the bridge creaked ominiously. "Ahhhh Simba." Said the figure with a small laugh. "What a surprise to see you..." Simba roared loudly again and stepped closer,as it began to rain,now soaking both himself and the figure.But he didnt care he wanted to get revenge. "WHY! WHY did you kill my family...my mother...grandmother...Nala..."
br>
"Ahhh hahhaa Nala..." Said the figure now laughing madly. "She put up a good fight,we had a son together actually but he died in chi-" Simba had had enough he lept at the figure and they started fighting. He lept up and scratched him across the face and the bridge shook again sending a flash of lighting acoss the sky to reveal the attacker.
br>
He was blind in one eye oviously because it was white,a long scar was running from his left eye,the top of his head down through his eye(which was why it was blind) and then down to where his eye ended.The other eye was a deep electric blue that caught Simba by surprised,which gave the enemy enough time to scratch him across the face and cause his nose to break. With a angry roar he ran after the male lion who again took off across the bridge.The enemy laughed after him calling to him. "Cmon Simba you can do better then that! I know you can!" Simba roared again,and leapt into the air but the other lion turned around and leapt onto two legs pushing against Simbas who was now on two legs also,both biting at each others mane roaring angrily.
Suddenly out of nowhere three lioness's attacked Simba from the back,left ,and right.He roared angrily grabing one by the leg and tossing her to the ground and grabing another one.But it was too much.The lioness's over powered him,and he crumbled into a heap on the ground breathing hard,his breaths comming in gasps.
br>
The lion then walked over to Simba slowly smirking.He sat down glaring at him,his tail whipping back and forth. "Cmon Simba...get off your ass and fight me.Prove to me that you can rule over these dead lands...and ill even admit it. I did this. I did all of this...and where has their faithful king been? Run away one of the hyenas told me...because he killed his father...what do you think of it now...the way you let it go to waist.
br>
Simba growled again and roared attacking the remaining two lioness's who fell uncontious after He hit them both with a good smack.He glared at his enemy feircly and yelled to him. "Why...answer me again! Why did you do this.. " The other lions answer was Simple. "Because..there was noone to stop me.Of course there was a few of your stupied pride that tried to stop me..but i took care of them easily.And noone else was around to hear their dying screams,because the savana was,and still is completly vaccent.Oh yes..i forgot to tell you my name is Victious i was the leader of the river pride.
br>
We were tired of staying out there..we had no land..it was only one small strip of land.The rest desert for miles,and miles.So we raged war against Pride Rock when the former queen Sarabi,and King Scar refused to let us in,telling us that he was the ruler now and no filthy outsiders were going to take it.
br>
"Natrually..this caused tension in our prides,and we raged war on these lands..for maybe about a year,but seeing as how your all grown up Simba..id say two years." He smiled evilily waiting for Simba to speak,but he didnt.So Victious continued his expression still that of mingled fury ,and anger.He took a deep breath and continued on smirking at Simba who was becomming increasingly more,and more angry.
"Well,We finnally won the war...heh i wonder how we chould have lost with so many?Anyway...we took over for a few mounths..and we kept some of your lioness's as servants but there was a great fire...and every animal moved on.Now this once great Pride Lands..are now nothing.So you see Simba? You see how this is your mothers,and that great idiots Scars fault? Do you?"
br>
He had had enough,he leapt at Victious roaring and swiped at his other eye.He roared with anger,and stumbled backwards,and onto the bridge,Simba followed and reared up pushes him backwards,the bridge swayed dangerously and then began to snap.Simba seeing the danger got back onto solid land as Victious got up,and the bridge broke sending the poor lion into the watery depths below. He roared now standing on all fours triumphantly over the lands.But noone returned his roar.They were all gone...he was alone now.
He then felt himself awaken from the dream so suddenly as he had fallen asleep,this time he felt someone watching him.He looked around to see his father,standing there with a odd white mist craining off him,he was also glowing faintly with what seemed a inner light. "Son..." He began. "Why have you run away? You are falling in love with someone,you should not run from them,but these dreams you have,may come true...there is indeed a lion called Victious.You will meet him in battle,and can stop all of that from happening."
br>
"But...what was it..?" Asked Simba frowning at the unhelping form of his father.
br>
"Your alternate destiny...your original destiny i cannot tell you,but you are now falling in love..and i encourage it. Good luck my son." And so Mufasa faded away.Simba didnt want him to go. "Wait...please dont leave!" But it was too late.The image,or whatever it was of Mufasa was rapidly dissappearing back into the night,twords the stars which was cloudly except for the hole that He was fading into,which then turned back into a cloudy night,and with a few rumbles of thunder was gone.
br>
Simba stared into the sky,and like his mood was feeling gloomy again,and depressed.He sniffed the air and smelled Li behind him.Simba turned around to see her and motioned her over.She smiled and trotted over happilly. "Hello Simba...enjoy your quiet time?" Simba nodded and gave her a playful nudge,and she giggled. He looked at her and their noses moved closer like magnents into a kiss.Both Lions blushed and laughed. Li looked at him and giggled then said. "Your mane is comming in well.it looks very nice..." They giggled again,and then began to walk back to where they had made their home.
br>
But he chouldnt get Victious out of his mind...he seemed so evil,and still chouldnt understand what happened.And what did he mean alternate destiny?But what he or Li knew,they whould soon see what it ment.
