Hello ladies and gentlemen. I want to put out right away that this story was adopted from Guardiansaint with permission.

Originally titled Authored Lion King, one of Guardiansaint's oldest story series that I wish to re-write them but with a few changes.

Disclaimer; I own a few OCs that were introduced in my previous stories on this account. The story idea and most of the OCs belongs to Guardiansaint as everything else belongs to Walt Disney.

Without further delay, here's the first chapter of The Lion King: Hurt and Healing.

The sun was shinning brightly over the peaceful Pridelands. But everything wasn't peaceful at the moment. A large dark golden lion ran across his and his mate's kingdom as his dark red mane whipped around from the wind of his running.

At his heels were a pack of hyenas. Snapping at his yellowish paws, one managed to latch on making the king tumble to the ground. The hyenas circled him, laughing and licking their chops.

"Enough!"

The Lion and the hyenas looked and seen a brown lion with a black mane standing on a boulder. The lion jumped down where the golden lion's amber eyes widen at the sight of a scar going down the left eye.

"Taka... What's the meaning of this, son?"

The brown lion snarled before striking at the golden lion. "How many times do I have to express, it's Scar now! I have been a disgrace in your and everyone's eyes for too long. Now it's time for everyone to see me for the wonder I am!"

With that the brown pelted lion took his father's life.

With a deep growl, he looked at the hyenas and nodded. The hyenas laughed before running off towards the kopje in the distance.

With a evil smile Scar started to head the same way at a excited trot.

~O~

By the time Scar got to the kopje, priderock the sound of terrified screams reached his ears. One in particular caught his attention.

"Mufasa!" a terrified female voice screamed.

With a dark chuckle the brown lion headed towards the voice. Where he came across a young dark beige lioness screaming and crying.

Scar looked at where her orange eyes was looking at and smiled at the sight before his eyes. A bunch of hyenas had pinned down a golden lion with a red mane. Other hyenas circled ready to go for the kill.

The golden lion's amber eyes looked over to his brother and gave a sign of asking for help.

Scar walked over where the hyenas moved out of the way. The brown lion bend down and said loud and clear so everyone can hear him. "Abdicate the throne and I will spare your life."

Everyone gasped but a brownish lioness sobbed as tears began to fall from her green eyes. How things come to this?

The large gold lion was going to say something that would most likely get him killed until he seen the tears in his mother and friend's eyes.

With a deep sigh the golden lion nodded. "I give up the rights to the throne."

Scar smiled before walking up the rocky slope of the kopje and walked over to the peak. "I am now your king! Bow down to your new king, King Scar!"

One by one the lionesses slowly bowed as the hyenas laughed, Scar smiled in triumph before roaring to claim the throne.

~O~

After the new king went into the cave the dark beige lioness and the brownish lioness ran over to the fallen golden lion.

"Oh Mufasa, I'm glad you're alright!" wailed the dark beige lioness as she buried her head in his mane.

The brown lioness nuzzled her son as tears fell from her eyes. Mufasa nuzzled his mother and friend. Then he turned to the slightly younger lioness.

"Sarabi. I'm alright. Please calm down...I don't want anything to happen to your cub. Kings above what will Jicho say?"

Sarabi looked at her friend before sobbing. "Jicho left. Not too long after I found out I'm pregnant."

The brownish lioness nuzzled the younger lioness. "It'll be alright, dear."

Just then the rest of the pride came running over with a young creamy beige lioness in the lead.

"What happened? We heard a roar?" questioned the creamy beige lioness her dark red eyes full of concern. When no one said anything she moved her eyes to the brownish lioness. "Uru?"

Uru sighed deeply before letting the lionesses that came back from the hunt, know what happened. "We have a new king."

A young tawny-beige lioness looked at the now former queen with questioning dark green eyes. "Who?"

"Scar. He threatened Mufasa into giving up the throne." Uru said on the verge of tears.

Everyone gasped as Sarabi comfort the crying older lioness a trio of hyenas walked over.

The alpha female growled to get their attention. "King Scar wants you to hunt!"

Uru sighed before looking at spotted creatures. "I'll gather a party."

The hyenas snarled before turning and heading back towards the cave where the king was at. Giving her oldest a nuzzle and a lick the brownish lioness walked over to a group of lionesses.

By this time the party that the creamy beige lioness came with had went their own way. Minus the tawny-beige lioness and her.

"Adela...what are we going to do?" cried Sarabi with her dark brown rimmed ears against her head.

The creamy beige lioness gave the golden lion a loving nuzzle not seeing the hurt looked sweep across the dark beige lioness' face. But the tawny-beige lioness did and knowing light appeared in her eyes.

Adela looked at the younger lioness and sighed. "I don't know but we'll get through this together."

Sarabi looked at the lionesses surrounding them and nodded before looking up at the cave sitting on priderock, dreading the future that's to come.
