Chapter 54
As soon as Tae had said those words a fight broke out. A sneaky smile appeared on Kira's lips as she took a look at her old litter mate who was just asking for a fight. Kira jumped and latched her claws onto Tae as she forced Tae into a position that made it easy for Kira to pin Tae to the floor. As she was doing so Leo, Verisa, and Jairo came running and started fighting a couple lionesses that had appeared a little while ago. As the fight continued, Ramia and her twin brother Rama tried to stay away from the fight as much as possible. As they did they noticed movement coming from a small bush. The two walked towards it they leaned over and a small, scared face came into view. It was Faith who was taking the chance to hide as the small skirmish went on. Slowly, the siblings walked closer to her. When close enough Rama spoke. Faith jumped a bit but Rama called her down.
"It's ok little one. My sister and I are here to take you back to the Pridelands. To your family. Don't be afraid of us." He said in a gentle voice.
Faith smiled a sad, but relieved smile, and ran toward the. She ran as fast as could but the scars on her back were slowing her down. Within reaching distance, Ramia picked up Faith and put her on her brother's back. The three began to run towards the Pridelands.
In the Pridelands
"Adin come here." Simba said.
"Yes Grandpa?" Adin asked as he bounded from his friends and over to Simba.
"I need you do me a favor." Simba said.
"Sure what is it?" Adin asked.
"Take Taja with you and patrol the lands. With your mother gone and Ari with her, we can't take any chances and having anyone coming to the lands." Simba said. Adin nodded and understood.
"Yes sir." He said and turned away.
Before he did, Simba noticed sadness in Adin's voice.
"Adin, don't look so sad. Your mother is strong and is able to take care of herself. Don't worry. She took the right lion to go with her." Simba said.
"Yea I know. I'm worried about Faith. She's just so young." Simba smiled and nodded.
"Yea but she shows a very young version of your mother. Watching Faith grow is like watching your mother grow up all over again." Simba said.
Adin smiled and a picture of Faith popped into his head.
"Don't worry Grandpa, Tasha and her pride will have to get through us in order to get these lands." Adin said.
"She will also have to survive the wrath of your aunt Vitani. Only the Great Kings know what's going on over there." Simba said as he walked away.
Adin's smile grew bigger and he turned and headed back to his friends.
"Taja, I have to go patrol the boarder and my Grandpa Simba wanted me to take you with me. Will you come?" Adin asked.
"Sure." Taja said as he got up.
"Oh Adin can we come too?" Shanni asked.
"Yea without your aunt here my muscles are weakening." Melody said.
"What muscles Mel?" Taja asked.
"Shut up." Melody said as she got up and stretched.
"Sure if you guys want. But we have to be careful and we can't leave each other's sight. I don't trust what's out there anymore." Adin said.
"Ok." Imani said.
"Let's go." Said Tara.
As the group walked, they searched every inch they could of the lands.
"No signs of any rouge here at all." Imani reported when they met up again.
"I know. I didn't find anything either." Taja said.
Suddenly, Tara ears perked up.
"Hey, do you guys hear that?" she asked.
Shanni perked her ears up and listened.
"I hear paw prints." Shanni replied.
