Chapter 2: Bad thoughts
I walked alongside the river, my paws slightly soaked from the wet, damp ground. It was absolutely beautiful outside.
The birds danced in the air, the sun peaking over the large mountains and the slight chirping of the crickets playing in the grass.
But too much was on my mind to appreciate it.
The words earlier this morning echoed through my mind.
Kill Simba, avenge my sister.
No! I'm not a murderer, I would never do anything like that!
But his pride did kill my sister and her son...
But it's wrong! No one deserves that!
Did your sister deserve it?
I stopped dead in my tracks...
Did she deserve it?
A small sigh escaped my lips, look at me. I'm truly going mad. Arguing with myself about whether I should kill Simba or not.
This shouldn't be so difficult!
I will not kill Simba
But my sister...
"Hey auntie, Shetani" My thoughts were interrupted by a sarcastic, and very obnoxious, voice.
Damnit, not him.
"Leave me alone, Kunu. I'm not in the mood"
Kunu was the rebel of the pride; He didn't listen to anyone, but himself. He was rude, obnoxious, loud and tasteless. He and his peers would go around looking for trouble at the wrong places, the wrong times and from the wrong animals.
Looks like I'm today's lucky winner.
He jumped in front of me, blocking my exit.
"Awww, But i was looking forward to spending some time with my favourite Aunt." he stared at me with his crooked smile and yellow eyes that gleamed with trouble.
"Well Auntie's tired, so move out of my way" I half smiled while pushing him out of the way. I made my way past him without making eye contact.
Just keep on walking...
"Too bad,"
...just ignore him and keep on walking...
"I was hoping we could play your sister's favourite game..."
...don't let him play around with your feelings...
"Murder..."
I stopped. My hair slowly started to arise on my back and my nails digged deep into the ground.
I felt his eyes on me and I can actually imagine the grin that was plastered on his face.
"Simba and his pride seem to enjoy that game, seeing as they did kill Scar, Nuka and your sister..."
I grinded my teeth, trying to keep my anger under control; I was breathing loudly and my tail was whipping like hell.
"Though if you ask me, I think she deserved it" I heard the other lions gasping, some looking very uncertain whether that was a good idea or not.
They backed away slowly from Kunu, half aware of what's going to happen next.
I tried my best not to let the anger get the best of me...
"Her death was a relief, not a tragedy..."
...but failed...
With a loud growl, I slapped him across the face with my paw, throwing him to the ground.
I pinned him, my nails digging into his shoulder, my face only inches away from his.
"Now listen here young man, never talk about my sister like that, you hear me? Never! Everything she did was from pure tragedy and hurt. It was Simba who killed Scar. It was Simba who killed Nuka and it was his good-for-nothing daughter who murdered my sister! " I felt tears welling up in my eyes and my breathing was heavy and loud.
I looked up at the other lions, all of them staring at me with those terrified eyes.
I felt the anger rise inside of me for the second time and turned my attention back to Kunu.
"And next time, when I tell that I'm not in the mood, you leave me alone! Did I make myself clear young man?"
He just stared at me with his yellow frightened eyes, completely speechless.
"Well?"
"Y-y-yes m-m-ma-"
"Well!"
"Yes ma'am!"
I stared at him for a while before getting off of him. He slowly, and carefully, crept out from under me, my eyes still glued to him. I looked up at the other lions and roared loudly. The lions, including Kunu, jumped and ran off, leaving a trail of dust behind them.
Another growl escaped my lips and my hair was standing up high with my tail waving behind me like long grass in a wind.
I've had enough of these lions always picking on my sister! They have no idea what it feels like to lose someone so close to you, all the pain and suffering you go through.
The agony...
I looked up at Pride Rock and a sinister grin appeared on my face.
Perhaps it's time for them to find out...
I'm so sorry for the long wait (Well for the people who actually read's my story) I know it's been weeks but I'm very busy with homework. They just never give us a chance!
I would just like to thank FindingJuliet for being my first reviewer on my very first lion king story :) Thankies!
*EDIT* Sorry for the long wait guys, got uninspired and sort of forgot about the story, but thanks to my nagging friend who kept bitching me about it I finally decided to finish it. She's now my official Beta reader and checked all my spelling. I re-uploaded all the stories and will start as soon as possible with the third chapter :3
