Zira and Scar

Zira snuggled her two cubs in her arms and smiled with glee. Scar smiled at the large boy but scowled at his new daughter. Zira licked her new cubs tenderly. The little boy was pure black and had tanned spots on his back. His eyes were crystal blue and he was much larger than his little sister. The little female cub was exactly like her mother but resembled more of a Kiara shape. This made Scar sick. He ordered her to be killed but Zira fought back.

"I wont let you kill her!" Zira growled showing her teeth and claws. Scar done the same. Zira stepped back and looked at her daughter with worry.

"But look! She looks like Nala and Kiara!" Scar said and Zira looked to the ground. Zira stood her ground until Scar calmed down," Okay she can stay but she wont be part of the plan,"

"What plan?" Zira asked and Scar grimaced.

"We are going to raise him for a few weeks and then I am going to take him to the Pridelands so Simba finds him. When he grows up stronger than Simba we will come and tell him lies that they took him from us for no reason so he turns on them," Scar explained and Zira hated it.

"No way am I doing that I wont get to see his first hunt or ever talk to him!" Zira protested but Scar already had that planned.

"We will watch him grow from the safety of the Outlands so every milestone in his life we will see," Scar said ending the conversation. Zira wanted to say so much more but didn't want to anger her mate. The lioness snuggled back up with her cubs and spent every precious moment with them.

Night fell quickly but Scar was still awake. He watched Zira nuzzled her cubs until they drifted off to sleep. Their mother then joined them in their slumber. Scar got up and slowly and silently walked over. He picked up his daughter quietly and exited the cave. Scar didn't want his daughter so he was going to dump her in the Pridelands now so he wouldn't have to see her again. He decided he would tell Zira she died during the night.

Scar eventually reached the Pridelands and when he did he dropped his daughter off and ran for it. The little cub didn't even have a name and was out in the freezing cold wondering why her father would leave her there.

"Da.," She whispered darting around her eyes. Another lion walked over to her. She knew it wasn't her mother or father as they had a different shape. The lion nudged her to see if she was still alive. The cub squirmed as she was picked up and taken towards what looked like a giant rock.

Simba

Simba eventually reached Pride rock where he laid the little cub on the cave floor. She was shaking from the cold so he snuggled her into his fur. Nala walked over with a look of suspicion.

"Where did you find the cub?" Nala asked nuzzling her mate. Simba explained and Nala snuggled the cub too so she would become warmer.

"She is only about a day old," Simba said and Nala was shocked," I was walking in the Pridelands because I couldn't get any sleep and that was when I found her,"

"Should we raise her or give her to another lion?" Nala asked cleaning the little cub with her tongue. Simba looked down at her and smiled.

"I am already too attached to give her to another lion," Simba answered and Nala nodded in agreement. The little cub would be a new member to their family.

"I think we should call her Bora," Nala suggested and Simba agreed. The new cub and her parents snuggled together all night.

Kiara

Nova, Ahadi and Koda were already awake when Kiara awoke. She got up and decided to get them some breakfast. She was walking out of the cave when she saw Nala licking a little tanned cub. Kiara walked over in shock.

"Who is that?" Kiara asked as she was positive her mother wasn't pregnant.

"Your father found her last night and we have decided to raise her as our own," Nala said quietly so Bora wouldn't wake up. Kiara was happy for her parents and knew her cubs would love a new playmate. She walked back over to her triplets to quiet them.

"You cubs have to be quiet as grandma Nala has had a cub," Kiara whispered and her cubs smiled.

"Yes! A new playmate what are they like?" Ahadi asked.

"Are they a boy or a girl?" Koda questioned.

"Are they hurt like me?" Nova added.

"Too many questions!" Kiara said in a hushed voice. The triplets quieted down," It is a little girl cub called Bora and she is only a day old so she isn't playmate material yet and as far as her health goes she is fine," Ahadi sighed at the fact he had to wait a few weeks for a new playmate, Koda huffed as he wished for the cub to be a boy and Nova sighed as she wanted someone to talk to during her long days alone in the cave recovering.

"Come on Ahadi lets go play," Koda whispered and the pair headed out of the cave. Nova looked down at the ground and slowly walked over to a rock which she sat on everyday until her friends came back.

"Wait for me!" Kula shouted only to get lightly batted on the nose by Vitani to have her cave voice on. Ahadi and Koda stopped until Kula caught up. Nova watched them with a tear down her eye.

"It is your own fault for going to the Graveyard," Kiara said but Nova still looked upset. It had been 2 weeks since that happened and she still had a few left of pacing around Pride rock not being able to play whilst the others explored new and exciting places.

"Yeah but Kula's punishment was stopped a couple of days ago but mine has to go on for another month," Nova sighed scratching the rock she was sitting on.

"I know but because of the risk you took you are going to be like this," Kiara said and Nova still looked upset. Kiara got up and left her daughter to sulk. Kovu came over to Nova.

"How about we play eye spy on Pride Rock's ledge," Kovu suggested and Nova smiled. The father carried his cub to where they played eye spy and first one to see and antelope for the morning.

Nala

Bora was crying the cave out and Nala was doing her best to shoosh her. Eventually Nala managed to get Bora to feed and the young cub went to sleep. Nala was smitten with her new adopted cub. Simba came in and they swapped round. Nala went out of the cave and saw her new found friend Liz the hyena. Liz was living with the lions like she was one of them and was well on her way to having healthy pups.

"Morning Nala are you going hunting?" Liz asked. Nala nodded and the hyena tagged along. The pair went to the nearest gazelle heard to track them. They were getting ready to chase them when Liz cried out in pain.

"What is wrong?" Nala questioned looking at Liz with worry. The hyena laid on the ground and began breathing heavily. Nala suddenly knew what was going on Liz was in labour. The lioness knew it was too far for a hyena in labour to travel if they wanted to go back to Pride rock.

"You're going to need to deliver my pups!" Liz screamed and Nala took a deep breath. After what seemed like a year to Liz but a few hours to Nala, Liz had her pups.

"That is four!" Nala announced and Liz got up. She nuzzled each of her pups then said a thank you to Nala.

"Two girls and two boys!" Liz said. The four pups looked very similar but all had their own individual differences. Lola ( the oldest) was mist grey all over and had little black splodges on her back and had crystal blue eyes, Jamal (the second oldest) was like his sister but instead on spots on his back he had black paws and legs as well as this his eyes were brown, Malka (the second youngest) was a boy pup with a large black spot over his right eye which was bright green and Mina ( the youngest) was pure grey and had violet eyes. Liz was proud of all of them.

" How are we going to get them back?" Liz asked worryingly. Nala had already thought of that.

"One of us will stay behind with the other pups whilst the other walks back with one. We will swap round every time," Nala explained.

So the two friends walked the pups back to Pride rock and done their method until they were all back safely. Liz nuzzled her new pups until they fell asleep. Night fell and every soul in the Pridelands was asleep. But none were in the Outlands...
