Here's the next chapter which is a bit lighter. Also as you may know, this is the last chapter. But book three will be up really soon.
Vitani had led the remaining lions and lionesses back to the Outlands where they were greeted by Pena, Zira and Hadeon.
"What are you doing here?"
Vitani stepped up after nodded to the army, telling them they are dismissed before looking at her dark tan coated aunt.
"The plan failed."
Just then Kambili and Chumvi walked up. No one asked them where they were all that time, cause they're grown and they can do what they want.
"What's going on?" Kambili asked.
Pena looked at her eldest grandson and said, "Your father's plan failed."
"How?" Chumvi questioned stepping up.
Vitani looked looked at her sons, "The princess killed Kovu and without a leader we had no choice but to retreat."
Kambili and Nuka roared as Zira and Pena snarled.
"What do we now?" Hadeon asked looking at the sons of Kovu.
Kambili straightened up before snarling, "We plan our revenge and this time there will be no failure!"
-O-
Morning in the Pride Lands was peaceful, but not in the main cave. While Sherise still slept Jata went in the main cave to talk with her parents.
"Morning."
Kiara smiled and said, "Morning sweetie, how are you feeling?"
Jata sighed, "Better."
"I'm glad, now we need to talk. Who is that cub?" Simba asked as he walked over.
Jata sat and said, "She's Kovu's daughter."
"What! Are you mad?" Simba roared.
Jata frowned as she stood up and said,"No! I'm doing something good for the future of my kingdom!"
"By bringing a spawn of a monster in here!"
"Simba!" Kiara scold.
"No! She isn't like her father! And she won't be!"
"How can you guarantee that!" Simba shouted.
"Because no one is born evil! They're raised to be that way! Uncle Scar wasn't always evil! He was kind and loved his brother!"
Mufasa, who has been listening but didn't want to interfere. But when he and his brother was mention he walked up.
"Simba, Jata is right. We should at least give the cub a chance. It's the noble thing to go as king."
Simba sighed and said, "Alright, I guess now it's about time you take the throne."
Jata's orange eyes widen, "Really?"
Kiara nuzzled her daughter and said ,"Yes, but you know Abasi is to be your mate."
Jata sighed but than remembered the story her beloved, Dimitri told her."I can't marry Abasi, I love Dimitri."
Her parents made way to say something, but their daughter cut them off.
"But I can try to love some else. Just not Abasi."
Simba nodded and said "Alright, that's fair enough. I'll do this. You don't have to marry right away. You look for a mate to be your King a few months after your crowning."
Jaha smirked, she knew where this was going. But she kept quiet.
"Thanks daddy." Jata said as she hugged her parents.
Kiara smiled and said, "You should get ready, the animals will be here soon."
-O-
Sherise woke up to a nuzzle. She opened her purple eyes to see Jata smiling.
"Morning, sweetie."
Sherise yawned and said,"Morning princess."
Jata chuckled and said, "You can just call me Jata."
Sherise nodded and said, "Can I ask what are you going to do with me?"
Jata chuckled and said, "I'm going to teach you the ways of the Pride Lands and today I want you with me as I become queen."
"Really?"
Jata nodded, "And I want you to walk with me when I walk up to the peak."
Sherise nodded and following the future queen out of the cave and up Pride Rock.
-O-
The pride exchanged looks as they whispered.
Jata looked down and smiled, "Ignore them."
Sherise nodded and continued walking by Jata's side. They got infront of Kiara and Simba, who gave the cub a weary look.
Jata saw this and immediately glared at her father.
"Dear, it's time." smiled Kiara.
Jata smiled and looked downat the dark brown cub, "You ready?"
"Shouldn't I be asking you that?"
Jata chuckled and headed up the peak with Sherise following. Once Jata and Sherise reached the top they took a moment and looked at the lands.
"Wow!" Sherise said in awe.
Jata smiled at the cub before looking back at her kingdom. With a deep breath she roared a ear spitting roar.
The animals cheered as the pride roared in reply. Sherise and the new queen shared a smile before heading in the cave.
