Shenzi watched silently as the Lioness's body hit the ground with a loud thud
"Scar" she hissed "are you trying to get us all murdered?"
The lion waved his paw dismissively "now,now that wasn't enough to kill her"
Senzi shook her head "Whats the point then?"
"I have my reasons" Scar replied lowly, as three dark figures shuffled through the shadows below " It seems your hyaenas are back and it's almost dawn "
After they had descended and Senzi reunited her pack, who had found a large gazelle, Scar made a point of checking over Kiara, a few scrapes and a nasty gash on her shoulder but otherwise she seemed uninjured.
Good, he didn't want her dead just unconscious for the time being.
"Shenzi" he called waiting until she was at his side to continue " our scents are becoming noticeable and the Lionesses will be hunting soon... "
The matriarch nodded, casting a suspicious glance to his ward before returning to help her pack, carry their kill.
Turning back to his niece Scar ran his nose around her face sniffing her lightly.
"beautiful dear" he purred quietly "Just like your mother."
Quickly gathering her in his jaws once more he followed after the hyaenas.
Kiara closed her eyes tightly a hammering pain running the length of her body, the last thing she remembered was sleeping and falling then nothing, had she been sleep walking and slipped? Maybe, but there was something else, a black maned lion.
"Kovu!" Eyes snapping open she looked desperately around her, ignoring the surge of pain with every movement, he must have fallen too, but try as she might she could not spot her future mates dark fur or smell his comforting scent, finally sub coming to her pain she lowered her head to the ground, sighing as the cold soothed the pulsing in her skull.
"Ah, dear your finally awoke"
Kiara's eyes widened in fear "who's there?" she called as loudly as her migraine would allow her for a while all she heard were soft footfalls and the lioness lay frozen on the floor, finally after what seemed like an eternity, a thin lion with a black mane and bright green eyes appeared at her side causing her to jump in surprise this lion bore a strong resemblance to Kovu, one that Kiara found unsettling "Who are you?"
"Kiara, surely you've been told!" he tsked, looking her over with a grin that only deepened Kiara's unease "No?"
As the lion began to circle her closely sniffing at her occasionally Kiara forced herself to stay calm and search her mind furiously for any clue to his identity she could only think of one improbable answer.
The lion came to a stop at her shoulder pressing his nose against, it she inched farther from him wincing as a searing sensation joined he host of pain.
"Perhaps I can jog your memory, hmm?" He suggested resuming his circling "How does Scar sound?"
