Sorry for the delayed update, been sick since Sunday and is still feeling a bit under the weather. CandyLuv99 and Nalalicious, I appreciate the reviews. Plus I missed your thoughts and opinions. I used a quote from one of my other favourite movies, Alpha and Omega. If you know the movie, try to spot it. Now here's the next chapter, enjoy.
Sarafina was lost. She couldn't understand why she and the cubs were following Scar towards nomads land across the Pridelands' eastern border. She wanted to ask questions, such as; why were they out here? Where's Felicity? The sound of grass crunching caused the family to stop just as three figures appeared in front of them. As they got closer Sarafina saw the figures clearly as a lioness, a stocky male and preteen male. In the middle of the three was a old but quite beautiful rich golden lioness, on the left was the preteen, on the right was the stocky golden orange furred lion.
As the dark cream lioness looked closely she realised that the lioness was the former queen, Uru's younger sister Udina. Her mate's ally. This would be her second encounter with the exiled princess. She wasn't always a Pridelander, she belong to a pride past the coastal areas. It was her, her mother and baby brother. The journey was ruthless and dangerous. Plain example, during the terk to the Pridelands they lost her brother in a sandstorm. Her mother wasn't a believer in anything. Her father made that happen by cheating on her mother with a few younger lionesses. When Sarafina's mother found out about the affairs, everything she believed was destroyed. So her mother knew that her brother was dead and it wasn't no use to look. When they got to the Pridelands they were accepted and that afternoon she witnessed Princess Udina being exiled.
"Well isn't this a surprise. The whole family. But brings this early vis..." Udina stopped and looked at Scar hard. "Your plan failed and now you are exiled? Hmm.."
Scar nodded. "It was going as planned until Faye's cub ratted me out."
Udina clicked her teeth. "No, no, no. This can not do."
The rich golden teen turned his pale blue eyes on his mother. "Mother, what is it?"
Udina narrowed her eyes. "Betrayal will not do. We need to end this traitor."
The golden orange lion's cobalt blue eyes widened a bit. "What about Mufasa and the princes?"
Udina waved a paw. "Let them have their few months. No one crosses me and live to see another day!"
Nala and Malka gasped but wasn't sure if they were scared or shocked by the evil grins on Kovu and Tiffu's muzzles.
Udina smiled at the cubs. "These four will make excellent kings and queens." Udina looked up at Sarafina. "I believe the facade is over. So while you handle that, Scar and I have to talk."
Sarafina narrowed her blue eyes as she watched her mate and his aunt disappear in a cloud of fog. Before taking a deep breath and turning to face the questions.
...
In the Pridelands Mufasa wasn't happy with the situation he has on his paws. Felicity is his mate's best friend's daughter and also his brother's daughter, not mention that same brother tried to kill him not even two hours ago.
"Mufasa, calm down." Uru chided. "You're over reacting."
Mufasa snapped his amber eyes open and growled with a bit of a roar in the direction of his mother. "Do. Not. Tell. Me. To. Calm. Down. I am the King!"
"Mufasa!" Sarabi cried shocked by her mate's behaviour.
Mufasa shook his head. "I don't want to hear it, Sarabi!" the golden lion ignored the fearful look the dark beige lioness' orange eyes. "You want me keep the cub of my brother who tried to kill me and our cubs Who's side are you on!"
Sarabi stepped back in complete shock. "I am and always on your side." she looks towards the main cave where Kion and Kaidan was with her parents and the rest of the pride and cubs. Then turned back to Mufasa. "I have been meaning to tell you something."
Mufasa sneered. "What the hell could you have to tell me right now!"
Sarabi frowned before pinning her ears. "I'm pregnant again,"
Mufasa shook his head and snapped out of the haze he was in. Before it came crashing down. Mufasa lowered his head, ashamed. "I'm sorry."
Sarabi smiled lightly before nuzzling into the king's red mane. "It's alright dear. I know how much this is for you. But you're not alone, I'm here." Sarabi closes her eyes, "On to another matter." Sarabi inhaled and exhaled before snapping her eyes open. "The next time you speak to me or anyone in this pride like you just did. I will personally rip out your eyes and shove 'em down your throat so you can see my claws, Sarabi narrowed her eyes and with a angry snarl, "TEAR YOUR CARCASS OPEN!"
Mufasa gulped. He forgot the intense training Sarabi had from her father and brothers. Who runs a pride out pass the desert. As the youngest of four she had to be tough. One of the reasons why he fell in love with her. A clearing of a throat caused the king and everyone else to look to the side cave on the side of the main one. The cave was used as a birthing den but occasionally as a den for ill and wounded. Standing out of the cave was Rafiki with a glum look.
Sarabi walked towards the mandrill. "How is she?"
Rafiki sighed as he leaned on his staff. "I'm afraid, Young Felicity will have a permanent scar."
Sarabi gasped before running into the cave to cuddle her niece. While Mufasa and everyone still on priderock bid the sherman farewell.
Mufasa took a deep breath before looking at his mother. "Mom, what should I do?"
Uru sighed heavily before head bumping her son, affectionately. "I know what you are going through." she stood and went to check on her granddaughter. But stopped and looked over her shoulder, "Don't make the same mistake I made."
Mufasa was left in deep thought as his mother the small cave.
...
Scar followed Udina up a small mountain. When they reached the top the rich brown lion was tooken back from the sight before him. There in the distance was priderock, he looked at his aunt and seen she was sitting. He followed while he tried to make sense of why Udina brought him up here.
"I'm sure you are confused. But I will explain."
Scar frowned before focusing on the older lioness as she began to speak again.
"Have you thought about your name?"
Scar growled. "Of course."
Udina nodded before turning back to the sight before them. "Takaya, Taka for short. It means respectful one. I should know I named you."
Scar was more confused. "You named named me? But moth.."
"Uru is not your mother!" Udina took a deep breath before smiling adoringly. "Takaya, I am your mother."
