Chapter 42

After they heard the roar, Melody and Shanni looked at each other.

"Who was that?" asked Melody nervously.

"Hopefully Tasha." Said Shanni.

"Should we go look?" asked Melody.

"Not with all these cubs with us. It's too dangerous." Said Shanni.

"What if one of the lionesses in our pride got hurt." Said Melody.

"I hope not." Said Shanni.

"Shanni, where's my mommy?" asked Faith.

"Your mom is handling something Faith." Replied Shanni.

"Whose roar was that?" asked Jalen.

"I don't know." Replied Shanni.

"We need to go look." Said Lexi.

"No. we don't want any of you cubs over there." Said Melody.

Then out of nowhere, Kuda comes over.

"Shanni, Melody." He said.

"Dad." Said Shanni.

"Kuda." Said Melody.

"Are you guys ok? Where are the cubs?" asked Kuda.

"We're fine. The cubs are over there under that rock."

Kuda walked over and saw all the cubs.

"Dad." Said Lexi.

"Hey Lexi." Said Kuda.

"Uncle Kuda." Said Faith.

"Hey Faith. Are you cubs alright?" he asked.

"Yea. Melody and Shanni were with us the whole time." Said Jalen.

"Good." Said Kuda.

"Shanni, Melody come here." Said Kuda.

The teen girls walked over to the muscular lion.

"I need you two to go around to the entrance of the cave and see who let out that roar." Said Kuda.

"But what about the cubs?" asked Shanni.

"I'll be here with them. Don't worry about it." Kuda replied.

"Dad are you sure?" asked Shanni.

"Yes, Shanni. I'll be fine." Said Kuda.

"But dad," shanni stopped.

"Shanika, stop being stubborn. Do what I say. Now." Said Kuda.

"Yes sir." Said Shanni.

"Come on Shay." Said Melody.

The two girls ran with all their speed and might towards Pride Rock.

"Why do I have the feeling it wasn't Tasha got hurt?" asked Melody.

"Me too." Said Shanni.

"Only one way to find out." Said Melody.

"Let's get home." Said Shanni.
