"Nice to meet you Kat?" Nala said. They shook paws.
Kat introduced his friends.
Everyone shook paws.
"Why is Kiara shaking like that?" Simba asked.
"She's scared. She wont leave my side." Kat said.
Simba walked closer. But Kiara cowered back.
Marshall came up to Simba.
"Can we talk?" he asked the king and queen.
They walked outside the Tree of Life.
"Look. Dont be alarmed. Its really common for animals to get scared after a traumatic experience. She'll get better over time." Marshall said.
"Who did this?" Nala asked.
"Some male lion. Kovu I think was his name. Kat killed him." the dalmatian answered.
"I knew I never should've trusted him." Simba growled.
The three went back inside.
Kiara was asleep.
"She's out." Skye said.
"This worries me." Kion said.
Rani nuzzled her mate.
Pretty soon. Night fell. Simba and Nala decided to stay there for the night.
The tree was pretty crowded with everyone there. Ryder slept in the Airplane.
One by one everyone fell asleep.
The pups slept in one big group.
Kion and Rani slept on their perch.
Kat, Kiara and the king and queen slept in the corner.
The night pride and lion guard slept in the middle.
Everyone slept peacefully.
Kat woke up to a nudge.
He opened his eyes. Looked up to see Kiara.
It was still dark out.
"Someone is outside." Kiara whispered.
Kat quickly looked around. Some of the pups were gone.
"Stsy here." Kat said.
He got up. Began to walk to the exit.
He stopped at the doorway.
He heard whimpering.
He growled. It woke up several others.
"Intruders." he snarled before exiting.
Kion, Simba and Rani gasped.
"Simba wrapped his arm around Kiara.
Kion and Rani followed.
Keeping downwind, Kat saw several lions outside. They were surrounding the pups.
Kat came out of hiding.
Walking over, he grabbed one by the throat.
"Kat!" Rubble cried.
Chase sighed.
"Stste your business and your name." Kat snarled.
Kion and Rani came up.
"Z-Zira! I'm looking f-for my son K-Kovu." Zira said.
"Kovu." Kat growled out. He tightened his grip.
"Kovu is dead." Kat said. "I advise you to leave before you meet the same fate as your son."
Zira nodded. Kat let go.
Zira and her pride ran off.
"Inside." Kat said. The pups followed him inside with their head down.
"Well talk in the morning." Kat said.
Everyone went back to sleep.
