Author's Note: Thank you CSIMentalistTLK lover. I'm glad you like them. There's going to a time jump in the end of the chapter, just to let you know. I really feel bad writing this chapter but it had to be done.
"What are you going to do?"
Giza paced while Kora sat not far.
"Are you going to kill him? If so you know we can't continue to say here"
Giza stopped and looked at the red lioness. A evil, dangerous gleam in his purple eye, "Then so be it"

"Come on Sherise, I'll race you to the water hole" shout Kopa as he ran ahead
The pale golden cub shook her head, "Please tell me why you dragged me alone?"
Kopa laughed "One because you love me and two every one busy. Kiara is with our dad. Raj is with his parents. Thresh and Taka are with Grandma Sarabi and Uncle Malka"
Sherise rolled her eyes before picking up speed and the race was on. Once at the water hole Sherise and Kopa took a moment to catch their breathes. As Sherise was drinking her ears perked.
"Kopa, did you here that?"
Kopa lifted his head and shook it before going back to drink.
"Kopa, come on. Something don't feel right" cried Sherise before running in a bush
"Sherise, come on, there's nothing you should be afraid of when I'm around" Kopa boosted while puffing out his chest
"How wrong you are you little brat" a sicking laugh echoed through the air
Kopa whipped around to be face to face with his great aunt. Sherise watched in horror as Zira attacked Kopa. A thunderous roar was heard and follow by Ni running top speed and pouncing on Zira. Sherise was frozen with terror as Zira killed the creamy brown lion. After making sure Kopa was dead the pale tan lioness ran off. Hot steaming tears fell as she finally found strength to creep out. After the seeing the dead bodies, Sherise dashed off. The pale cub was blinded by her tears so didn't see where she was going. Until she bumped into something.
"Whoa, slow down. Where's the fire?" Chumvi joked but his features turn serious after seeing Sherise face, "Sherise what's wrong?"
"Zira...kiled...Kopa...Mister Ni..." Sherise cried
Chumvi's face paled before picking up Sherise and ran for Pride Rock. Simba and Nala were lying down with the rest of the pride as the cubs played in the cave. Chumvi ran up and placed Sherise down who ran to her mother.
"Simba, I'm so very sorry" then the dark brown lion looked at the queen, "Nala I didn't mean for this to happen"
"Chumvi, what are you talking about?" Kiya asked walked over with Kula
Realizing something, "Chum, where's Kopa?" Simba asked
Tears fell from Chumvi's crimson eyes, "Zira killed him"
Nala shook her head and roared "You're lying" before running off
Simba gave his friend a deadly glare, "We will talk"
And they did, Nala and Simba came back at night everyone was where they was. The cubs were sleep in the cave. Minus Sherise, she was asleep in her mother's paws. Nala walked up and placed a dead Kopa on the ground as Simba laid Ni's bloody body down.
"No! Ni!" Kiya cried as she and Kula ran to the dead lion's cold body
As Nala cried loudly while holding Kopa's close.
Simba looked from his mate to Chumvi, "Start talking!"
Chumvi had more tears falling, "Simba I'm truly sorry but she...Zira lied to me"
"How so?" The golden growled
"She said if I give her what she want she won't harm your cub" cried Chumvi
Nala could see her friend was hurting too. He didn't asked for this and he was only trying Save her son from this tragedy.
"Simba, stop! Its not going to bring Kopa back!" Nala cried
Simba took deep breathes and nodded to Chumvi before turning back to his mate to grieve.

A young lion stud a grave sight. A large blouder sat where a horror scene took place. The lion was big for his age of two years. He's large and powerful with with distinctive golden-brown fur. He has broad shoulders and a pronounced jaw. He has a luxurious, thick, and a rich red mane, that has a few bangs on each side. His eyeshades are chestnut as his his muzzle, underside, forepaws, and lower eye shades light-colored.
"Hey"
The young lion snapped his head up and saw a large dark red wolf walking up.
"Misa wants to know if you're going hunting"
The lion shook his head "No" before turning back to the blouder
The wolf sighed before walking back to the caves. As soon as the wolf lift the lion let a single salty tear fall from his ocean grey blue eyes.
Author's Note: Well that was a hard chapter for me. I bet you know who's the young lion is. To make things clear, the young lion's mane looks like Simba's. So what did you think?
