Alright guys this is the continuation of The Rogue so here we go!
Nala saw his scars he had been in a fight before but not as vicious as this.
Nala looked back at Priderock she wasn't very far anymore. She carried the cub back over to her pride on her back.
Sarabi and Mufassa noticed Nala carrying a cub and raced over to her.
"Nala what's happened?" Mufassa asked firmly.
"I-I went past the waterhole because I-"
"You what? You disobeyed me? After I told you not to go past the waterhole?"
"Father I-I.."
"We will discuss this later Nala right now we have to get this cub to Rafiki's tree"
Mufassa stated as he places the cub on his back and bounded off toward Rafiki. Nala concerned with the cubs life raced after her father.
"Rafiki!" Mufassa roared.
"Yes Mufassa how may I be of service?" Rafiki replied calmly
"This cub is badly hurt he needs to be treated." Mufassa said.
Rafiki examined the cub. "Yes I can help but how did he end up this way?"
"He-" Mufassa started.
"He saved my life…" Nala interrupted.
"Did he now?" Rafiki asked in an interested tone.
"Ok I can fix this cub right up he'll be fine now you two go get some rest I'll tend to the cub." Rafiki stated.
Nala and Mufassa both walked silently toward the den. Nala looked up at her father. Mufassa did not show any expression. Mufassa stopped and looked at Nala.
"Nala why did you disobey me after I specifically told you not to go past the waterhole?" he asked still no expression on his face.
"I-I just thought it wouldn't hurt to have a quick look and I wasn't very far from the waterhole so..I walked a little farther." she responded looking at the ground.
"Nala that place is dangerous there are killers out there you know." Mufassa said in a sincere voice.
"I didn't know that….and that boy wasn't a killer he saved my life from hyenas!" Nala replied shouting.
"Nala you and I both saw the scars on his body that wasn't his first fight he had been in many he's dangerous Nala he's not from our pride he's from someone else's." Mufassa explained.
"I'm sorry father…." Nala apologized with tears in her eyes.
"I don't want you to go back there do you understand?"
Nala shook her head yes and Mufassa embraced her.
"Nala if something were to happen to you I don't know what I'd do I don't want to lose you. I'm only doing this because I love you." Mufassa admitted.
"I love you too dad.." Nala replied nuzzling her father.
They both walked back into the den. Sarabi looked at Mufassa who smiled at her. Sarabi smiled back and they all went to their area of the den.
The next morning Nala went over to Rafiki's tree to check up on how well the cub was doing. To her surprise the cub was outside at the waterhole. He was stretching his legs and the wounds he had after the fight were completely healed. Nala bounded off to meet him.
"Hey..um..how are you feeling?" Nala asked concerned.
He drank from the waterhole before turning to look at Nala.
"Better I guess.." He said back.
"Umm…I just wanted to say thank you for saving me if you weren't there I would've died." Nala thanked politely.
"Like I said don't mention it" He said plainly.
Nala stared into is eyes. They were amber and felt welcoming and serious at the same time. His coat was brown and rough and his underbelly was a light peach. And his build was strong and tough. Nala couldn't stop staring at his build.
"I never got your name." He said waking Nala from her trance.
"Oh sorry I'm Nala. W-what's your name?" She asked watching the ground.
"I'm Simba." He said giving her a charming grin making her blush.
"So where's your pride?" Nala asked curiously.
Simba felt a pang in his chest and looked away from her "I don't have one…"
"What happened?" Nala asked sincerely.
"Look I'd rather not talk about it." Simba said firmly.
"Do you want to go to the other cubs?" Nala asked.
"Sure but I can't stay long" Simba replied.
The two cubs walked over to the group. Chumvi saw the two walking side by side and decided to tease Nala.
"Hey Nala who's your boyfriend?" Chumvi teased.
Nala blushed and Simba knelt down and growled at Chumvi.
Chumvi cowered. Nala darted her head at Simba.
"Simba! That's my friend!" Nala shouted.
Simba looked at her then relaxed and said "Sorry…"
Chumvi studied Simba he looked like he could rip anyone to shreds. Chumvi noted not to get him angry.
Chumvi cleared his throat "It's alright."
Nala sighed in relief. Sarabi and Mufassa came up to the cubs.
"Hello mom and dad." Nala greeted.
Simba looked the other way refusing to face the king and queen. He stared off into the wasteland.
"Young man?" Sarabi asked making Simba turn her way.
"Are you the one who saved my daughter's life?"
Simba slowly nodded his head yes.
Sarabi smiled "What is your name?"
"Simba…" he said plainly.
Sarabi noticed some parts of his fur was covered in dirt "Here why don't you clean yourself off in the waterhole" She said and gently pushed him closer to the water.
Everyone watched as Simba sighed and went into the water. Once the water was up to his neck he dunked his head in the water everybody gasped as he did so but relaxed as he emerged from the water. Everybody was in awe to see Simba's dark brown fur turn into a beautiful shining gold. Every girl cub eyed Simba up and down even Nala was doing the same. As Simba sat back down next to Nala all the girls whispered to themselves while stealing glances at Simba as he licked his paws dry.
Nala couldn't take her eyes off of Simba he looked stunning with his new coat. she had so many temptations all at once.
Simba firmly stood up and stated "I'm sorry everyone but I must go now.." he looked back at Nala who was saddened that he was leaving.
"Nala?" He asked.
"Yes Simba?" she replied
Simba hesitated but licked her cheek "Goodbye.."
Simba looked at the king and queen who had confused expression on their face. Simba bowed to them and slowly walked off into the sunset. He looked back at everyone and smiled until finally bounding off.
Nala hung her ears low and slowly walked back towards the den. Ever since then she hadn't seen Simba. Sometimes she dreams about how he faced three hyenas to save her and how he had licked her cheek and said goodbye… She longed to see him again..
