Here's chapter twelve. To those reading, enjoy and leave a review. Really would love to know what your thoughts are.
Night had claimed the sky once more. The moon sat full against the dark blanket as dozens of twinkling stars surrounded it. Jicho had entered the darkness of night to meet Tamaa. Once she was close enough the dark red lion struck the dull tan lioness.
"You stupid fool!"
Tamaa slowly got up and growled at the lion. But Jicho just struck her again and sneered.
"You nearly got my daughter killed!"
"Zira wasn't there!" Tamaa cried out to get struck again.
Jicho roared as he landed another hit to the dull tan lioness. "Sarabi's cub!"
"Nala?"
A sinister light shined in the dark red lion's eyes. "Nala...bring me my daughter. She's the key to our success."
~O~
A few weeks past and Kiara had awoken. To her surprise Simba was there. She tried to move but fell back down from the pain.
Simba woke up at the movement to see a pair of blue eyes staring at him.
"You're awake!" Simba breathed out in relief.
Kiara had a hard time trying to figure the cub out. She was sure it was Simba. But this cub is a little taller and sports small peices of brown mane tuff on his head.
"Who are you?"
Simba's world crushed but before he could say something his father and Rafiki walked in the cave.
"Simba. It's time to go!"
Simba gave the golden cub a quick nuzzle before walking over to his father. Where the prince and king left.
~O~
King Scar and Prince Simba sat at the summit of priderock. The dark beige cub was enjoying the view of the golden light bathing his future kingdom.
"Simba!"
Scar's voice cut through the air and knocking the prince out of his thoughts. Simba looked at his father with questioning eyes.
"Everything you see is my kingdom. When the sun sets on my time it will rise with you as the new king."
A new look shined in the cub's eyes as he stared at the kingdom in awe. Scar got up from sitting and headed down with Simba at his black tail tuff. Once on the dying savannah, Scar started the lesson again.
"As king there's only one thing you need to know. The hyenas are our friends. We owe them our lives."
Simba nodded as Shenzi walked over and bowed.
"King Enzo is at the south border. He wishes to speak with you."
Scar nodded before looking at his son. "Go home."
Simba nodded and turned and headed for the watering hole. Scar waited until Simba was gone before he walked over to the southern borders. On the border was a creamy pelted lion with a black mane.
"King Scar. You got my message?"
"That I did. I don't tolerate being rushed!" sneered Scar.
The lion nodded and before he knew it he was surrounded by hyenas.
"I don't need a alliance to better my pride. When I can just take what I want."
King Enzo looked at the Pridelands' king with horror in his brown eyes before he was attacked by the hyenas.
Scar had a satisfied glint in his green eyes before snarling as he looked at Shenzi. "Gather the Moonlands pride and bring them to me!"
Shenzi nodded and before she turned to follow out with the order. But stopped and looked at the brown lion. "What about the males?"
"Get rid of them. Besides...soon it will be time to get rid of the cubs in my pride."
Shenzi nodded before she joined the rest of the hyenas and headed out towards the Moonlands pride.
