The Lion King 3: Vitani's Sisterhood
Chapter 12Kiara: POV-
I couldn't help but think about Tiaret and Zira. If Tiaret was being truthful, did Zira take her and hold her hostage? Or was Tiaret really evil, and decided to betray us? I couldn't take it anymore. Only one more day until they arrived for a fight. All yesterday we trained for the fight. It's been about a year since she fell into the river. Who knows what she could have learned since then! At least Vitani's leg was healed now. She would be able to fight.
"Mom?" Lerana asked. "Yes, sweetie?" I asked still in thought. "Kuro and I wanted to know. May we train to fight?" she asked shyly. "Absolutely not!" I told her. "Why not?" Kovu asked from behind me. I turned to face him. "They are old enough. And Lerana will be old enough to go hunting soon so maybe this could help her. And Kuro. When he gets older we wouldn't want him to be defenceless against a male or a hyena." He said matter-of-factly. I looked at them with a worried look and looked back at Kovu. "Fine. Go find Lavi and Vitani, they are training by the waterhole." I finally said.
That's when Mom and Dad came in. "Kiara, Kovu, we have bad news. Zira's pride is only a couple hours away now, and losing time, they are running now. We need to gather everyone or we'll have dead lions on our hands!" Mom screamed. Dad just shook his head behind her. Kovu roared and stormed out of the dean to gather all the lions. I can't believe this. We are not ready!
Chapter 13Vitani: POV-
A roar split the air as I was about to tackle Lavi. I stopped mid air only to see Kovu calling everyone in to pride rock. Lerana, Kuro, Lavi, and I ran to pride rock to see what happened. We got the closest spot to Kovu as he began. "Everyone, be on your toes. Zira will be here in about 2 hours. They are running now and everyone must be on the lookout for any intruders. Now everyone take a post! Our training ends now!" He said as he went to the very tip of pride rock. He was obviously going to track their progress.
I ran to the northern border in which they were coming from. I perched myself on a rock watching them from a distance. I can't believe I mourned for my mother the day she died! I could care less for her now she's trying to kill us. No. Not again. This time we will win for sure. There's no going back now. I looked to the western border only to see Lavi standing there alert as ever. I quickly looked back at them. They were getting closer and closer I'll have to move back to tell them. I ran towards pride rock and roared. My roar has never been strong. So I tried again. This time I caught his attention. "Kovu they're closing in! We need to rally the lionesses! Quick!" I yelled to him.
Just then a scream came from the north-east border. No! They split up! I ran towards the scream with a few other lionesses. Four lionesses were there. I tackled one and bit her neck. Another from behind jumped on my back and started scratching along my back. Pryna, a lioness in our pride went right for the lioness' on my backs neck, snapped it in one shot. The lioness I was on already was dead. Two left. We were lunging at them all teeth and claws. After a mighty battle, we went to see which lioness was hurt. It was Nala.
"Nala what happened?" Pryna asked her. "They split up. I went to close to a small group of them and they lunged at me!" Nala said. "I only got this scratch on my leg. Don't worry about me." She added quickly. Okay good she's fine. " Okay, well we'll need to Get everyone to pride rock. We went stealthily around the borders of pride rock and inward to gather the lions. We all arrived at pride rock in time to see Zira come through and her pride re-assemble. And who besides Zira was standing at the front? Tiaret.
Chapter 14Kiara: POV-
I was so furious with Zira that I almost lunged at her as soon as she appeared. " Why, isn't it my old pal Kiara, Simba, Nala, and my two betraying children, Kovu, and Vitani. It's fancy seeing you here." Zira sneered at us. Grr…. "Why are you here Zira?" I sneered back at her. She looked at me in surprise, obviously not expecting that I've grown much since our last meeting. "Ah, Kiara you have grown! To bad that's as far as you'll get!" She mocked. Kovu snarled.
Tiaret rose up and walked next to Zira. "Well mother. Time to let them know our plan? Or will you like to keep that a surprise?" Tiaret said. "Tiaret? How could you?" Vitani cried out. Tears were already streaming down her face. "Ha ha. You know you're really gullible. I may be your twin but I definitely wouldn't travel that many miles for you. I knew everything once I found mom at the river bed. Everything but not knowing everything was true. I did have a mate. I did have a son. They did die. I killed them." She said loud and clear. " You disgusting creature!" Vitani sneered at her.
Zira smiled and raised her paw. "Attack!" She roared. All of a sudden her pride started rushing towards us. I jumped at one lioness headed for Kovu's throat. We tumbled down pride rock until I was able to pin her down and snap her neck. All of a sudden a bunch of them came rushing at me. I was trapped the all piled on me. I was going to die. That's all I could think. I'm dead. I'm dead. I'm dead. That's when Vitani pulled me out and I realized we were surrounded again. We began lunging until every lioness in the circle was injured, or dead. I ran to Kovu.
So far we were in the upper hand until Zira called in Tiaret and herself. They began lunging at Kovu I kept trying to knock Zira down. But she was still stronger than me. She kicked me and I went flying into a wall of rock. I went unconscious for a while. When I awoke, Kovu was laying on the ground in front of me. I crawled over to him. "Kovu. Kovu get up." I said to him. That's when I realized he was not breathing. "Kovu!" I screamed.
Chapter 15Vitani: POV-
I was trying to hide behind a tree when I heard Kiara scream. I looked and Kovu was dead in front of her. My brother was dead. Rage went through me. I felt fire in my soul. I was about to kill whoever did this. "Hey Vitani!" Someone yelled. All of a sudden I was tumbling down the hill. "What you going to do to me?" They said again. I looked up and Tiaret was standing above me. "Tiaret!" I yelled. "Yeah me! Your not going to live much longer Vitani!" She said as she slashed my across the nose. I yipped in pain.
I tried to get up but she kept kicking me down again. Finally we came to the edge of a cliff. She laughed a wicked laugh and pushed me off the edge. I fell on the next ledge only to get up and start climbing again this time I grabbed her throat with my teeth and threw her down. I stood where she was looking down. She was on the ledge now. And it was my turn to kill her. I found a boulder and started pushing it headfirst. She was about to lift herself over the edge when the boulder crushed her paw. She screamed. I smirked in satisfaction.
I pushed the boulder over her paw and knocked it onto her. All I heard was a scream and a bunch of snapping. I looked down into the river below me only to see red flowing fluently through it. I saw her body floating down the river. She surely was dead. My own sister. I realized my pride needed my help. I bolted back to pride rock then immediately. I found Zira about to kill Kuro and Lerana. The didn't know anything since they had just arrived when we were called in to take position.
Just then Lavi Leaped into the air and grabbed her throat and pinned her down. He kept biting her until she bleed out. I looked around. Pride rock was strewn with the other pride's dead lionesses. Just then I realized I was crying. I looked back towards where I saw Kovu. He was scarred from the battle. He had died quickly from a snapped neck. I sat next to his body for a few minutes. I rose and stood at the edge of pride rock. I looked over everything we had. From the edge of pride rock everything was coming to sense.
I looked at the distance so pure and natural. I slowly looked form the distance into what laid in front of me. Everything became bloodied. Then I stood assertively and roared the loudest roar I had ever heard. Everyone looked up at me. Eyes wide with shock. Kiara's mouth dropped with awe. I then walked back to the den and sat awaiting for everyone to arrive.
Chapter 16Narrator: Ending Scene-
Everything happened for a reason. Zira and Tiaret are now dead. All peace has been restored. Since Kovu had died Lavi and Vitani took the throne. Many seasons later they had a cub, Syki, who will never be queen, as for Lerana will still be, but would in future make all the difference. For until Lerana becomes adult and has a mate, she will not be queen. What do you think will happen?
