THE SCARRED KING AND QUEEN NALA- ch XVI

Last time- Sarafina is jealous of Nala... and Scar stayed out all night xPPP

Notes- OMG MORPHEUSDREAMER! I ADORE YOUUUUUUUU! XD XD XD Yezzzzzzzz, you actually know what "Cabaret" is! You're only the second I've met so far! xD xD xD Omg... that I find would be a little disturbing, that is, Nala and Sarafina or Zira (with Scar of course) singing "Two Ladies" ... and I do love that song, haha. But that wouldn't really fit in a sulkenwolfpup- to have characters bursting into dance and song, would it... however, I could just post it as going with a chapter.. Nala singing "Cabaret"? Hrm.. it could work, however, if such ever were to fit, it seems it would be a little to early, just yet... as for "Chicago" haha... I know absolutely NOTHING about such a thing... haha, I'm just a "Cabaret" obsessive.

Whoa, waaaayy to long an ooc. And that's what comes from posting "Cabaret" songs at random... xP

——————————

T'was only two hours into the morning, thusly, many lionesses were enjoying the slumber they could capture- that apparently Nala and Scar could not. Though Sarafina was much like Nala and Scar, and almost another member of their dilemma, she was one of these who managed sleep.

A peaceful smile had crept upon her resting face, and she lay with paws and all of her fore, really, drawn upon a large boulder. Her hind part was on the ground, and tail seemed to extend her form, because it was nearly as long as the rest of her. It seemed these were the only minutes in which Sarafina could appear peaceful anymore... whereas she had used to be a very dainty and, well, peaceful sort of character.

This, of course, was no more... for she wished dearly to have her former lover returned to her, and away from her daughter. Any reader realizes how terrible a thing this is for a mother to believe, but Sarafina was so caught up in her incredible thirst for her lover that she hardly realized this... neither did she realize that Nala, the captured lover of Scar, wasn't even happy with him...

Quite thankfully, the lioness was still asleep.

——————————

But not for long.

"MOTHER!"

T'was the call of her daughter... huh... what did she want, the attention-stealer.

"Mother, mother, mother!"

There came the call again... obviously it wished for her to rise, which she wished not to do. But then again, it would be impossible to continue sleeping if her daughter kept calling her name the way she was.

"Mother, wake up!"

Fine, sweetie, and mother was up. "Yes?" she snapped, voice cross and about the opposite of anxious.

"Oh, mother, I cannot live with King Scar anymore... he has gone simply too far!"

What? Oh, no, wait... this sounded great! Of course she would listen to this. "Oh? Well, go on!" perhaps she'd said this a little faster than she'd meant to... and a little less "unfortunately" than she would've liked. Oh well... Nala would never notice, she was in quite the manic.

"First he forces me to make love to him practically every night for- for- for who knows how long... and now..." she paused, wondering how to put her next statements.

"Yes?" Sarafina was anxious to hear her continue, as can be told by her response.

"And he didn't come home last night! When he finally did come home, it was only two hours short of the dawn! And he was drunk! He says he's not sckrewing with anyone... but how can I believe him, when he stayed out all night?"

Oh, this was luscious... her daughter was mispleased with her lover! "Oh yeah? So... then... what do you plan to do?"

"Well I don't know, mother..." Nala paused and smiled to her mother's direction, stepping slightly closer. "I came here for your advice!"

Oh.

"Well, dump him I say!" hahahaha, this couldn't be more perfect!

Nala looked cock-eyed at her mother. "How do you suppose I do that? He's absolutely addicted to me!"

"And he goes and has an affair? Oh, Nala, don't be foolish... if he's sckrewing around with other lionesses, he obviously doesn't love you!"

But... he had cared for her so much... she had almost began to like him! And then, after last night, she had seen what her original glimpse of him, as a lover, had been... the slimy, sadistic beast. The face of evil, in the darkness and confusion... and how could she ever love that? And yet, her mother had... "Oh but mother, I wanted so much for this to work out..."

"You mean you actually liked him!" made Sarafina's quick reply. "After all he did to you?"

Nala sighed. "I don't know, mother..." she paused for a moment, then her face grew cross. "And you're not helping! Goodbye mother, and thank you for your advice!"

——————————

Making sure not to pass by Scar's lair, Nala fled... far from the Pridelands, towards the Outlands...

Here, she could ponder what had come to her in the last few... well, recently.

The Outlands were a nasty place... barren, with skies of red and termites, ah yes, termites... everywhere... it was disgusting. Still, it was far enough from the pridelands that it brought comfort to Nala.

What had her mother said to her! That she wished for her to dump him? She'd never known her mother could be so terrible as to say such... what did she want with King Scar? They had used to be lovers... but she'd not shown any signs of wanting him back for a long while. But that seemed to be what she wanted!

Then, on the other hand, would that be so bad? It wasn't really the thought of having King Scar taken away from her that she hated, but more the idea of having her lover taken by her mother... but, then again, was he really her lover? Their relationship was not built on love, trust... or any of those things others say are essential to a sexual relationship. It was completely based on Scar's attraction to her, and his need for an heir!

Wait a minute- she was a generation below him, AND his daughter- she could be his heir! And Sarafina his queen! That would be even... better...! Because Sarafina could have her lover back, she wouldn't have to pair up with Scar and could find a better love-life, and there wouldn't be any mating involved until Nala was queen!

But no, it couldn't work... Scar did not want Sarafina, but her, Nala... and in his mind, age was nothing. Plus they'd already had a cub... it wouldn't be easily forgettable, now would it?

And because no one would forget, everyone would believe that somehow, somewhere, a relationship between Scar and Nala still lingered. How despicable! Her and Scar? And RUMORS about such a thing? How awful!

Suddenly she gave a gasp in shame... and tears immediately flowed from her eyes... SIMBA! She owed to her dear Simba... if she did not recall quite incorrectly, she had vowed to her precious best friend of her cubhood that she would never marry in his memory! Oh, great kings, curse her for breaking her vows!

What now? She had broken her vow... broken her relationship with the late Simba, forever... he would never, could never forgive her for this, could he? And even if he did... never could she forgive herself.
