Chapter 6: Don't give up

Hayles45: Thank you very much. Dotty is the grey one with three dotts under her right eye. She appears in the movie while fighting. I'm glad you like it :)

csinumberstlk lover: Yeah, Zira actually wants that Simba and Nala break up. That's what I think. She's jelaous that nobody loves her and she wants to revenge Scar at the same time. I don't like Zira either.

Uzurii: Yeah, but Nala's a strong girl, she will make it :)

Sicarius117: I know, but Nala didn't know who Dotty actually was. The hunger won over her and she ate the antelope.

I was wondering that I was still alive. Rafiki told me that I lost a lot of blood and my heart was broken. I was lucky that Simba was here with me, even though I still couldn't get enough courage to look into his eyes to talk to him. I was feeling that Simba wasn't as sad as I was.

"Nala how do you feel?," I heard his warm voice and felt his warm breath on my neck.

I hardly nodded. I wasn't in the mood for a talk, "Honey, please talk to me," he wanted to make eye contact with me, but I refused.

"It's like you don't care… for… what happ… happened," I sobbed quietly, but still my voice was filled with emotions.

"How can you just say that? I'm here in the den with you all day, I try to comfort you, but you don't let me! Nala I love you," he only tried to help me feel better, but I didn't appreciate that, instead, I snapped on him.

"YOU LOVE ME? YOU LOVE ME? THAT'S A FUCKING LIE! YOU JUST USE ME TO PLEASE YOURSELF! THAT'S WHAT YOU DO!," I couldn't control how these words I just said were hard. Really hard.

"ENOUGH! WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU! I'M NOT USING YOU! I REALLY LOVE YOU! I'M SHOWING THAT TO YOU EVERY FUCKING DAY! I KISS YOU, I HUG YOU, I EVEN MASSAGE YOU! HOW COULD YOU BE SO UNGRATEFUL?," he yelled. I admit, he never raised his voice on me like that. I was scared and tears were sliding down my cheeks.

"Why are you yelling?," my mother and Simba's mother came in when they heard us.

"Simba… I…" I started shaking because of the fear which started to take over my body.

"Don't play the victim now, Nala. I'm outta here!," he said and furiously ran out of the den.

"Mum… I didn't mean to," I cried even more.

"Shh honey… what happened?," Sarabi asked me with her own eyes filled with tears.

"We argued… I said… bad things… he said… bad things… I'm tired of arg… arguing with… him," I tried to explain through my loud and disturbing sobs.

"I know Nala, I know. What do you think we go get him together?," my mother suggested. Even though I wasn't really stabile, I agreed. Just to find my love.

"Mhmm…" I nodded and stood up with my legs shaking with shock. Sarabi walked on my left and my mother on my right.

"Where… is he?," I asked slowly calming down, but still sobbing.

"We will find him honey," his mother said.

"Maybe he's… in our… secret… cave," I said slowly remembering. We used that cave to be alone and to have a little fun or just to talk about private things. It was right behind Pride Rock.

"Where is the cave then?," my mother asked hopefully.

"Behind… Pride… Rock… Follow… me," I said and began speed walking in front of them, even though I wasn't in a mood. I felt like collapsing on the ground from exhaustion, "It's here… I think… I can… see… him," I hurried to my King. The two were behind me walking slowly. When I got in front of him, he just scanned me with his amber eyes and quickly looked away.

"Simba!," Sarabi said walking closer to her son.

"Mum? What are you doing here? Why do you two always tangle into our problems?," he asked and stood up.

"We only want to help," my mum started but she was interrupted by Simba's loud growl.

"Well you're not helping!," he yelled and started to walk away.

"Simba! Get back here!," she tried again. He was so stubborn.

"Simba please! I love you, I didn't mean to!," I yelled after him hoping for him to come back, which came true. But he wasn't in a mood for making up.

"You think that you can be selfish and rude, just because you lost your cub! It wasn't only your cub, it was mine too! WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM?," I could notice the voice was raising again.

"Could you just listen to her?," my mum got into the loud 'conversation'.

"AS I SAID! WHY DO YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO TANGLE IN OUR PROBLEMS! LET ME AND NALA SOLVE OUR PROBLEMS LIKE ADULTS! LIKE HUSBAND AND WIFE! I JUST WANT TO LIVE IN PEACE!," he yelled at her. I was feeling sorry for my mother, but at the same time he was right.

"Come Sarafina, let's go to Kiara," Sarabi said obviously disappointed and she turned away sadly from us.

"Now back to you," he turned his head around to face me. The same Simba with which I felt like nobody could do anything to me, was scaring me more than ever. I felt uncomfortable around him for the first time.

"Simba… I… I," I broke into a hysterical cry and it seemed to soften him.

"Nala… Listen to me," he started, "I didn't want to raise my voice at you, but you gave me no choice. Look, of course I was looking forward to the birth of our new cub, but you have to understand that I let my emotions out in a total different way. I love you, you're my everything. We already have a beautiful daughter, which I am really proud of. You became my Queen, my wife, the mother of my cubs and the most important is that you were always with me, in good and bad. I know how you feel. I had the same experience as you, well not the same, but… Hmm… Anyways, what I want to say is that I will always love you, no matter what, till the death separates us, even beyond that. I love you," he nuzzled me. I was expecting loud yelling, but it doesn't solve anything.

"You really mean that?," I asked looking into his eyes.

"Every word of what I said. I deeply apologize for what I said,"

"I should be the one apologizing. I shouldn't have said that. You're not the only one who has needs," I joked and he chuckled.

"Let's go back. Arguments make me hungry," he said and nuzzled me once more, "Kiss me, baby," he winked seductively.

I locked lips with his until I felt something grabbing my tongue. It was his tongue of course.

"Hey, pull the tongue away, you said 'kiss me' not 'make out with me'. By the way, I'm still sad," I said teasingly.

"Yeah right. When we're both fine we can make out from dawn until dusk," he said licking my cheek.

"Hmm… Good plan. Come on, I'm getting tired," I yawned.

I felt a little bit better at the end. After lying down on our royal platform, he hugged me and kissed me like nothing has happened. I was slowly getting better.

What do you think? I'm glad that Simba and Nala made up. I was inspired by a Turkish soap opera to write this. Don't forget to review! :D
