Zira clung to the rock face with all her might. She looked down at the raging waters. She knew that a fall would mean certain death. She looked up and saw Kiara lean over the edge of the ledge she was perched on.
Kiara extended her paw to Zira. 'Zira give me your paw.' She shouted.
Zira slashed her claws at Kiara and slipped further down the cliff.
Kiara extended her paw again. 'Zira come on! I'll help you!'
Zira suddenly grabbed hold of Kiaras paw. 'Please help me!' She begged.
Kiara began to help Zira up onto the ledge. Suddenly.
Zira placed her hind legs onto the cliff face. 'Scar.' She whispered. 'I couldn't give you Simba.'
Suddenly she pushed away from the cliff pulling Kiara with her. 'BUT I CAN GIVE YOU HIS DAUGHTER!!' She shouted as both Zira and Kiara plummeted down the cliff.
Kiara screamed hysterically and Zira laughed menacingly as they both plummeted into the raging waters below.
Kovu and Simba watched in horror as both lionesses disappeared into the raging river.
Suddenly Kovu broke down into tears. Nala and Vitani who were also devastated comforted him. Simba shed a few tears as he watched the waters calm down. Reluctantly he climbed back up the cliff face. He could not believe it. Even though there was once again peace in the Pride Lands Zira had still won. Even though she never managed to hurt him physically, she had still managed to hurt him emotionally. He didn't know whether or not he would be able recover from the pain of losing a second loved one.
The End
