THE SCARRED KING AND QUEEN NALA- ch XVII
Last time- Sarafina is trying to end the relationship between Scar and Nala. And Nala broke her vow to Simba against marriage!
Notes- Hrm... everyone seems to be requesting that I tie Zira into this little "ride," so I suppose I will xDDD As you requested, guys, ZIRA is pitching along for the ride.

Things continued in the Pridelands; Sarafina continued to silently plot, Scar continued to attempt to make love to Nala, and Nala continued to live a very boring and unhappy life. However, now Nala's life was disrupted by the bother of the breaking of her childhood vow- she had known so that she would never want to marry...
But now, look at her! How she longed for love... not from Simba, well why not.. but what a sinful action this was!
On those nights in which Scar would not fool around (which were becoming more and more frequent- Scar was about ready to give up), she would lay there... thinking about what curseful things Simba must be saying to her from the sky. It seemed sometimes she could almost hear him telling her how betrayed he felt.
Times like this, Nala was sure that guilt was by far the hardest emotion to live with... at least, for her it was certainly quite awful. Every day and every night it would haunt her... and what made it worse was that there was absolutely nothing she could do to rid herself of it! If she dumped Scar, that'd simply make her unhappy again... for rumors would spread, and that would just be bad. If she kept him, well... once you've broken a vow like that, could you break it further? I mean, if marriage is divorced then a vow is broken... and others did that all the time!
And this was such a similar thing... so why did she feel so awful?

T'was early evening, and the lionesses of the pride all sat peacefully- well, as peacefully as any could at this time of turmoil- in a scattered cluster. Many of these lionesses were friendly together, and thusly they spoke and joked with one another.
However, like in every economy, there were outcasts. The most well-known of this in Scar's pride was Zira.
Her was had not changed; she was still desperate to have a part in Scar's life. It wasn't that she particularly missed HIM- only that she wished for a lover of some kind and he was the perfect match for her, or so she though... besides, she loved the excitement.
Zira's young one, Nuka, had grown quite a bit since the birth of Nala and Scar's.. well... failure. As far as she was concerned, he was becoming more and more of a brat.
"Mother, mother," he would always call her name twice- this, though it was an odd thing to dislike, she completely loathed. Perhaps this was because it was always followed by, "play with me!"
No sweetie, mother doesn't want to play. Mother wants to sit here and mourn.

A/N: Ach, short chapter... I can't think of how to continue it. I know how to go on from here, but it'd seem weird to have that be part of this chapter.
