A/N: So...I haven't updated in two years...I'm sorry! I had loads of stuff bothering me, and I had tons of family problems. But I'm back now and I will update this story regularly. Promise!


Simba began to run, eyes narrowing. He did not want anyone to hurt Nala, and he vowed to protect her. Speeding up, he ignored the calls from his mother, asking where he was going. She could wait, Nala's safety was more important!

When he arrived at the water hole, his eyes widened in fear. Lying on the floor was his Nala, bruised and bloodied. Her cream coat was coated in blood, and her eyes didn't have the same amount of energy as usual. And circling her was Sora.

Simba's eyes narrowed and he pounced, pinning the younger cub under him. Sora's green eyes widened as she stared at her ex-boyfriend.

"Simba! Simba, I-"

Simba cut her off with a low growl. "Don't touch Nala again!" he snarled. He let her get back up and crouched down, snarling at her. Sora, not wanting to lose her pride, snarled back, but the sensible part of her mind got the better off her.

"Heh, I don't care what happens to her." With her head held high, Sora walked off. She glanced back at Simba and saw him walking over to Nala. With a snarl, she sprinted of into the grass.

Simba turned to face Nala. "Nala, are you alright?"

Nala gave a weak nod, "I'm fine now."

Simba began to lick her wounds. "I promise, no one will ever harm you again."
