I don't own the Lion King

Scar ran as quickly as his legs could carry him. He noticed his paws escaping from the soft touch of the green grass and landing onto the dusty ground. He never turned his head to look back at the Pride Lands. He hated that place! He wished his father was dead! He skidded to a halt and then thought about his wish. That was it. Killing his father would show that he was not the lion to be messed with. Wouldn't his mother now about it? How would she feel? She doesn't have to know Scar thought. I am going to lure that lion that I call 'father' and he will fall into my trap.

He changed direction and ran towards the Elephant Graveyard. When he arrived into that haunted section in all of Africa, he found himself all the alone. Usually the hyenas were lying around the bones of the elephants but no hyena was in sight. He quickly turned his head when he heard a bone clattering on the earth. Scar's ears perked up when he heard a low growl. He dodged when he saw a hyena jumping from behind him and falling to the ground when he dodged the hyena's attack.

Scar approached the hyena and saw that it was a female, judging by the almond shape of her eyes and the three bangs that dangled from her head. "Hey Scar," the hyena named Shenzi greeted him, "long time no see." She got up on her paws and looked at him.

Scar looked at her up and down. Shenzi had quickly grown into an adolescent hyena. "Where are the others?" he asked her.

"Around here somewhere," Shenzi said as she waved her paw in the air. "I'll take you to them," she said as she escorted Scar to where the others were gathered. She took him deeper and deeper into the graveyard.

When they arrived, Scar saw large group of hyenas gathered around an old, wise hyena. The old hyena looked up when she saw Scar approaching. She was the matriarch of the pack. "Yes?" she said when she saw the chocolate colored lion?

"I was thinking," Scar began, "that we should kill my father."

When he said that, the hyenas mumbled between each other. "Wait a minute," the female hyena said, "I thought you said that you were going to let your parents die of old age."

"Yeah," a male adolescent hyena named Banzai said.

"Change of plans my dear friends," Scar said, "if we let my father die of natural causes, it would take to long for me to become king. It will take awhile for me to get rid of older brothers as well, unless they don't have heirs yet."

"No worries," Banzai said, "if they do, we'll eat 'em!"

"So when were you thinking of killing your father?" another hyena asked him.

Scar turned his eyes and looked at the hyena. A smile made its way to his lips and he said, "tonight."

The hyenas looked at each other. Some of them nodded, others smiled, others laughed as they got their pack ready to go and attack the old king of the Pride Lands.

What was he thinking? Ahadi couldn't believe that he had let his anger get the better of him. Whenever he got angry, he would always unleash his anger in a brutal way. The victim was always Scar. Ahadi hated beating up his youngest child but Scar always did something that Ahadi didn't like. He would not return home on time, he would always disappear, and he would be mean to his older brothers. Ahadi had no other method to tell him not to do such a thing. When Amar and Mufasa were cubs, they were also naughty little things and he sometimes swatted them and they never did it again. Ahadi was not sure where Scar had gotten his disobedience. Maybe it came from his mother's side of the family.

He got up from his sitting position and turned his body to walk back to the Pride Lands. Uru had a fiery personality now and then, thanks to the slap that she gave him but she was a wonderful mate to him. Ahadi cursed himself for being such a bad husband to her. He knew that when he was going to return to the Pride Lands, Uru was more than likely to give him the cold shoulder. What would the two young lionesses think of him now? He noticed that they looked frightened to see such a personality from him.

What have I done? he asked himself. I have ruined everything. Taka hates me, Uru is upset, my sons could be afraid of me. Why did I do such a thing? he bowed his head to the ground as a tear escaped his eye.

A twig snapped behind him as his head shot up and looked around. There was nothing but the soft wind sweeping through the grass. Another snap happened. Ahadi's ears perked up as he looked around through his blurry vision. He wiped his paw over his eyes and felt the moisture of his tear dissolving into his paw.

"Hello...father," a harsh voice said.

Ahadi looked up and he saw Scar standing in front of him. "Taka," he whispered his name, "you're back."

"My name is Scar," he emphasized as his eyes flashed a bright green color.

"Scar?" Ahadi echoed the word as he looked at his young son with a confused look. "What are you talking about?"

Scar approached his father and started to circle around his father. Ahadi looked at his son. "I'll tell you what I'm talking about before you die," Scar hissed.

Ahadi turned and looked at him in the eyes. "What are you talking about?"

"You have done nothing with me," Scar continued, "you have abused me all this time but you never accepted it. I was hurt and I still am. You are not a good father!"

Ahadi furrowed his eyebrows at him. Those words that Scar was throwing at him stabbed him in the heart. Why was he saying these words? What did he mean by him dying? "Control yourself," Ahadi said as calmly as possible.

"I am calm," Scar assured him, "I have been calm all this time but you have ruined my peace. You have ruined me and the family that you are trying to keep together. You have ruined my mother and for that, I am going to ruin you!" he roared as a pack of hyenas jumped out of the bushes and lunged themselves towards Ahadi.

Ahadi was caught off guard. Before he could react, he felt a hyena's teeth sinking into his flesh. Ahadi let out a roar from the pain that shot up through his body and into the spot where he was bitten. He raised his paw to swat the hyena away but another hyena jumped at him and bit down his leg. Another hyena jumped on top of him and bit down onto his mane.

"Now," Scar whispered to a hyena that was carefully stalking towards Ahadi. He pounced on the lion king and gave him a powerful, deep scratch onto Ahadi's abdomen. Ahadi roared as the remaining hyenas toppled him to the ground and held him there. Another hyena sunk his teeth onto Ahadi's throat. "Wait," Scar calmly said as he approached his father, "I will carry out the last deed."

Ahadi looked through his shocked eyes as he saw his son approaching him with a cold look on his face. "T-Taka," he slowly said, "why...?"

"Because of you," Scar hissed as he swiped his paw through his father's neck, instantly killing him. Scar saw his father's eyes rolling at the back of his head and his eyes slowly shutting until there was no breath in him. He looked at his father's blood that was covering his claws. The old king was dead. That meant that Amar had his chance of becoming the next king. Well, no worries, he was going to get rid of him as soon as he could, without any interference.

"Is he dead?" a hyena asked.

Scar faced the pack. "Yes," he said with a nod of his head and a satisfied grin. "Now its time to carry our next plan. The pride is sure enough to discover my father's death, meaning that they will be too protective over my oldest brother. Its going to take a while for me to get him."

"Then what are we supposed to do?" another hyena asked.

"All in good time my friends," Scar told them with a gleam in his eye.
