I don't own the Lion King
Shenzi hesitantly followed the lion. She stood a safe distance away from him, fearing that he might turn any second and attack her.
Scar stopped walking and Shenzi quickly halted as she looked at where they were. It was a dark, dusty, and rocky place filled with hyenas of all ages . Some of them were old whilst others were young. Scar had come here so he could form an alliance with them. He did not find them as villianous creatures but as a helpful weapon.
The hyenas stopped their chattering as their eyes laid on Scar. One female hyena growled at him as she was about to attack him.
Scar remained clam as he looked at the angry creatures. He put his paw on Shenzi's back and pushed her in front of the others. The hyenas stopped advancing as they looked at the small thing. "This poor hyena," Scar began as the hyenas looked at him, "saw a tragedy happening in front of her eyes. Her mother was killed by a lion."
A gasp was heard throughout the crowd. "How would you know?" a male hyena shouted.
"I was there and I saw it with my very eyes," Scar answered.
"Oh," a female hyena whimpered as she slowly bowed her head, "the same thing happened to my mate. My poor little Banzai barely knew his father."
Shenzi looked at the mother hyena and at the small cub that was hiding behind her paws. He was slightly older than her. She felt bad that he barely knew his father. The same had happened to her.
"Wait, wait, wait," another hyena jumped as he stopped the commotion, "how can we trust you?"
Scar raised an eyebrow at the hyena. "I bought a small hyena here didn't I? If I was one of the lions that killed her mother, I would have killed this cub too," Scar said as he looked at Shenzi. "I believe that the lions of the Pride Lands have been unfair to all of you. The reason that I am here is because I believe that every creature should be treated fairly. Shenzi's mother came into the Pride Lands to find food, only to be killed by a lion." He went against using his father's name. He did not want any suspicious being whispered about the lionesses of how his father died. "Without further ado," Scar continued, "I have a way to include all of you into the Pride Lands."
The hyenas looked at each other as they began to chatter about. Some of them doubted Scar's idea while others thought that he was really serious about it.
"However," Scar interrupted, "it will take quiet a few years before you can have access into the Pride Lands, but trust me on this." With that last word, Scar walked away from the hyena's habitat, leaving Shenzi there to the only place where she belonged.
Shenzi looked at the hyenas. She didn't feel completely safe without her mother. Suddenly a mother hyena approached her with her cub. "Hello there little one," she gently said in a mother-like fashion. "I am really sorry about your mum." Shenzi looked at her with a sad expression. The mother hyena bought her head down to Shenzi and fondly nuzzled her, "I will take care of you. I have always wanted a little girl."
Her cub walked close to Shenzi and sat down beside her. "Want to play?" he asked her.
"What a great idea Banzai," his mother said, "you two run along now and play while I'll go and search for some food."
"Come on," Banzai said, "I'd like you to meet my friend Ed." He ran as Shenzi shyly followed after him.
Amar limped as Mufasa and Ahadi stood by his side. The wound was sending a tingling sensation up his leg. "Are we there yet?" he said through his teeth.
"Almost," Mufasa said.
"I can't walk anymore," Amar said as he sat down and rested himself.
Ahadi looked into the distance and saw that they were less than two miles away. "Mufasa," he said to his son, "go and get the lionesses while I stay here with Amar."
Mufasa nodded as he took off. He ran as quick as his legs could carry him. The dust on the ground swept beneath his paws as his heart began to beat rapidly. Luckily, Mufasa saw his mother looking for some food. He ran to her.
Uru looked up at her son and smiled. "Hello there Mufasa," she greeted him.
"Mother," Mufasa breathed as he stopped in his tracks, "its Amar, quick he's injured."
"Amar?" Uru said in shock as she ran after Mufasa. When the two of them arrived, she saw Amar lying on the gound and Ahadi trying to wake him up. Uru walked to her son and pushed his head with her nose.
Amar slowly opened his eyes as he looked at his mother. Uru stood by his side as she licked the wound off of his paw. Then Ahadi and Uru helped Amar get up on his paws. "Does it hurt now?" Uru asked s she looked at his clean wound.
Amar looked at his leg. "Thanks mom," he said as he smiled at her, "it didn't really hurt anyway."
"Pfft," Mufasa jokingly said as he chuckled.
Amar glared at Mufasa. He jumped and pinned him to the ground. "OW!" he yelled as a sting shot up through his front leg.
"Sure it doesn't hurt," Mufasa said as he raised an eyebrow at him.
Amar made a face at him. "Shut up," he said as he got off of him and continued to walk towards the Pride Lands. Uru and Ahadi walked behind him. "Be nice to your brother," Ahadi said to Mufasa as he sent him a wink.
Mufasa smiled at his father. Sure Amar was sometimes self-centered and cocky but he was a fun brother to have around. Something suddenly came inside his head. here in the world was Scar?
The sun was beginning to set as Scar's shadow grew in the surface of the ground. He hit a rock as it rolled down the ground. Throughout the day, he delt with the hyenas and spent the rest of his own afternoon by himself. Now he was walking back to the Pride Lands hoping to get there on time before his father found out that he was missing. He looked behind him as the sun disappeared into th distance and the sky turned into a navy blue color. Scar ran towards his home. When he got there, he climbed on a rock and came face to face with the open mouth of the cave. He saw a lioness walking into the cave and he was about to follow after her.
"Taka," he heard his name being called behind him. Scar stopped in his tracks and looked behind him. His father was there, looking like a proud and dominant figure.
"Yes father?" Scar quietly said.
"Where have you been?" Ahadi asked as he advanced towards him.
Scar didn't say anything but just stood there looking at his father.
"Answer me!" Ahadi roared, causing Scar to fall on his back.
"I was out for some fresh air," Scar defended himself as he put his paws over his face, fearing that his father would strike him any second.
"You know you are supposed to be here before the sun sets?"
"I-I'm sorry," Scar apologized as he crawled away from him. However, Ahadi advanced towards him. Scar bumped into a rock and stayed there.
"Sorry is not enough Taka," Ahadi said, "you have done thiis too many times and always apologizing about it! You are not sorry and I won't forgive you about this!" Ahadi yelled as he hit Scar with hit paw.
Scar gasped as he fell on the ground. He was surprised for his father had never done this to any of his sons before.
Ahadi looked down at him, with loss of words and filled with regret. He didnt know what ele to do or say to him so he just walked away from him and entered inside his cave.
Amar had woken up with an alert as he had heard his father's yell. He saw his father walking in the cave. He noticed a sad look on his father's face as he lied down next to Uru. Amar slowly and quietly walked out of the cave and saw Scar, with his back hunched over. "Taka?" Amar said.
Scar slwoly turned his head and tried not to roll his eyes at his brother. "What do you want?" he asked him.
"Is everything okay with you and father?" Amar asked as he leaped next to him.
"Why wouldn't it be?"
"Because father was yelling at you," Amar reminded him as if he had seen the whole scene.
Scar looked away. "I'm not accepted in the pride."
Amar gave him a confused look. "We don't hate you. Well I don't that is, and neither does Mufasa, or mother-"
"What about father?" Scar snapped, "he hit me!"
Amar took a step back at Scar's outburst. "I don't believe that he hates you. He just wants the best for you since you are the youngest." He reached out his paw to touch Scar's. Scar however,, got up and walked away from him.
"That's why I am not accepted," Scar said, "because I am too young to even be a king and make father proud."
Amar looked at Scar as he leaped off a rock. "Aren't you coming to sleep?"
"Why do you care?" Scar asked as he continued to walk away.
Amar stood there, wanting to go after him and stop him. His paws did not move, something was telling him to go and get him but another voice said not to. He turned around and headed back to the cave to get some sleep.
