Chapter 26
Back to where Shanni and Taja were. They were really happy to see Imani.
"Imani, where did you come from?" asked Shanni.
Imani smiled.
"I've been here ever since I left the Pride lands. Pretty amazing huh?"
Shanni's smile grew wider.
"Amazing? This place is Incredible." Said Shanni.
"So Imani, why haven't you come back to Pride Rock?" asked Taja.
Imani sighed and sat down.
"Well, because I was scared. I figured Kovu and Simba, and all the others would hate me. I'm sorry Shanni. It's my fault you were injured. I loved Ari. I was just afraid to tell him. I wasn't sure how he would handle it."
Shanni looked at her paws then back at Imani.
"Well, I'm happy to say that he loves you too." Said Shanni.
Imani's face lit up brightly.
"Really?" asked Imani.
"Yes. He told me and Adin one night." Said Taja.
"Would you like to come back to Pride Rock with us?" asked Shanni.
"I don't know if that would be the right thing to do." Said Imani.
"Don't worry. I have a feeling everything will be just fine." Said Shanni.
Imani and Taja looked at her confused.
"What?" Asked Shanni.
"Nothing. Come on guys lets chow down so we can go home." Said Taja.
The three ate their meal in silence until they were interrupted.
"Guys do you hear that?" asked Taja.
Shanni and Imani looked up at Taja.
"I don't hear anything." Said Shanni.
"Neither do I." said Imani.
The three began to eat again but stopped when Shanni heard the same noise Taja heard.
"Do you two hear.., barking?" asked Shanni.
"You hear it to?" asked Taja.
"I do now." Said Shanni.
Then, almost instantly, three medium sized figures jumped at the three lions.
"Hyenas!" screamed Shanni.
"Run you two! Run, Run!" screamed Taja.
"Taja what are you doing?" asked Shanni.
"Protecting you! Now get out of here. Both of you!" screamed Taja.
The two girls ran but stood where they stopped. They were worried.
"We can't just leave him." Said Shanni.
"I no. We're not going to." Said Imani.
The two girls looked at each other then back at Taja who seemed to be winning his battle with the hyenas.
"Let's go save our friend." Said Imani.
The two girls roared and ran at the hyenas. Knocking them out, one by one.
Back at Pride Rock:
"Tara, Melody, I need to talk to you." Said Nala as she met the two other girls at the water whole.
"Yes Nala?" asked Tara.
"How long ago did Shanni and Taja leave?" asked Nala.
Melody's and Tara's eyes grew wide.
"What do you mean?" asked Tara.
"I know that Taja and Shanni left to find Imani. It's ok. You don't have to lie." Said Nala.
"How did you know?" asked Melody.
"I knew from the day Imani left, Shanni would have a change of heart. Trust me. I know my granddaughter. She's just like her mother." Said Nala.
"They left about two days ago." Said Melody.
"How long do you think it would take for them to get back?" asked Nala.
"I don't know. I hope they're both ok." Said Tara.
"Oh they're fine. I had a little talk with Rafiki the day they left."
Melody and Tara was shocked and yet impressed.
"Wow. Cool. I hope they will be back soon." Said Tara.
"Me too." Said Melody.
"As do . Because we have a little surprise for Imani." Replied Nala.
"What do you mean?" asked Melody.
"Kiara and Vitani found her mother."
Both Tara and Melody's mouth dropped with a smile following it.
