The weather had been acting strange for the past few days, it was late noon and the heat from the sinking sun heated the elephant skeleton to the point of forcing its inhabitants out in the open, but the day was beautiful.
Cottony white clouds drifted around the darkening sky.
A sweet breeze ruffled Kiara's fur, keeping her cool as she lay waiting for the sun to fall below the horizon, allowing them to return to their dens.
Waiting.
Recently it seemed her life revolved around it.
She was waiting for cubs to possibly arrive.
She was waiting to feel normal again, for the heavy feeling in her gut to leave.
And tho she had forced the thought to the back of mind weeks ago for her own sanity, she was waiting for her pride to come, to be home again, to know that she wasn't forgotten
Beside her Scar was stretched out sleep, something he did a lot lately and something Kiara knew she needed to do more, but sleep was another thing she had to wait for. Around them the hyenas had taken to scattering themselves about the ground lazily.
The sun lowered slowly its rays becoming softer as navy blue enclosed around it equally as slow, making Kiara wait once again.
But that's okay Kiara reminded herself patiently, as the sun faded.
Because the day was coming when she would wait for nothing and to her that was worth waiting for.
A/N, This has to be one of the shortest chapters I have ever posted, but it's progress right?
I really need to start updating some of these chapters too.
