Chapter 50
As Kiara and Ari ventured off into the unknown, they seemed to be getting closer to Tasha and her twisted pride. Thanks to Mason, a scent trail was left behind. Ari led the way, for he was bigger, stronger, and had a better nose then Kiara. Sort of. As they continued to walk, Ari stopped.
"It's gone." He said.
Kiara lowered her eyebrows in confusion.
"What do you mean?" she asked her nephew.
"The scent that Mason left. It's gone." He said.
Kiara grew furious.
"Once I get my claws on Tasha, it will be all over." She said between her teeth.
"Kiara calm down. We'll find her. Even if takes a while." Said Ari to comfort his aunt.
"Thanks Ari." Said Kiara.
As they continued to search, Tara was telling Simba what Kiara had said before she and Ari had left. Simba paced the floor as he, Tara, Kovu and Nala all decided what to do. Right before Simba could speak, Zazu flew in the den.
"Simba, I think I may be able to help." Said Zazu.
"You do? How?" asked Simba to the old bird.
"Well, I know where Tasha and her pride reside. It's not too far from here. I can take you there if you wish." Said Zazu.
"That would be great." Said Simba.
"But wait, what about the rest of the Pride?" asked Tara.
"Tara's right Simba. We can't just leave. And plus what about the cubs? And for all we know, Tasha's pride could be stronger than ours." said Nala.
"I don't know about that." Said a voice.
Everyone in the den turned around to see Kira standing there.
"I hope I'm not intruding or anything. I was looking for Tara when I overheard what you had said Nala." Said Kira as she walked in the den.
"By the way Tara, Adin is looking for you. He's out in the savannah." Said Kira.
"He is?" Tara asked.
A smile grew on Tara's face.
"Why the smile Tara?" asked Nala as she herself smiled knowing what Tara was thinking.
"Oh, it's nothing. May I be excused? Don't want to keep the Prince waiting." Said Tara as her smile grew bigger.
"Go ahead. Unless there's something else you want to tell us." Said Simba.
"No that's all Kiara had said." Tara replied.
"Then you may go. Thank you for the news Tara." Said Kovu.
"You're welcome."
After that, Tara had ran out of the den and right into the one lion that was looking for her; Adin,
"Oh, sorry Adin." Sad Tara.
"No it's my fault." Said the Prince.
Tara smiled and Adin smiled back.
"Would you like to take a walk with me?" asked Adin.
"Sure." Said Tara.
The two teens began to walk smiling and giggling with each other. Back in the den, Kira had sat down with Simba, Nala, and Kovu.
"Kira, do you know something about Tasha that may be helpful to us?" asked Nala.
Kira sighed heavily.
"I do. I know that Tasha has always been a jealous lioness. But to do something like this, just isn't," she paused.
Nala stepped in and spoke.
"It isn't like her is it?" asked Nala.
"No. Everyone knew not to mess with Tasha. She had anger issues, she was strong, and if a fight had broken out in our pride, Tasha was always the first one to help. But to do something strange like this, it's just odd." Kira finished.
"Well, now that you mention it, I do know something else." Said Simba.
"You do?" asked Kovu. Simba nodded.
"Well, what is it?" asked Nala.
"She has returned." Said Simba.
Nala and Kovu knew exactly what he meant. Their eyes grew wide with fear and anger.
