Wrong Path

Tiifu crossed the northern border into the forbidden lands, the elephant graveyard. Bones and fog was everywhere. The creamy lioness stopped at the familiar sounds of eerie growling and a stench beyond bad smells. Soon beady yellow eyes appeared, more than she could count.

"You're trespassing, lioness." sneered one of the many hyenas. Must be the matriarch.

Tiifu raised her head as she spoke with case and stood in a regal manner. "I'm here to speak to Manu and Zira."

A dark laugh appeared before Manu and Zira walked out of the fog. The dark brown lion walked closer to Tiifu before circling her.

"Hmm. So you are supposed to bare my heir if my love don't succeed." Manu purred before looking at Zira.

Zira shook her head before walking towards her lover and her hopefully new ally. "I'm pregnant. But I'm also not young like I used to be. If this cub isn't of your standard, I won't be able to have anymore."

Zira's red eyes shined as she looked at the creamy lioness. "So, dear. What brings you out here?"

Tiifu raised her head and looked at the older lions in front of her with determination. "I may can't be queen but I'll do anything to provent my sister from having her perfect happy ever after."

Manu brushed his body against Tiifu with a wicked grin. "Are you prepared to do the necessary deeds for us to take our rightful place?"

Tiifu looked with a deep frown. "You mean kill Mufasa and Kiara?"

Zira nodded before turning Tiifu's head towards her with her paw. "Including Kion. He's not with me so he's against me."

Tiifu thought hard about her answer. She may have felt something for Kion but it doesn't messure to the opportunity of having a cub on the throne. She'll have the closest rank of Princess and most of all, she'll have her life. The deaths of Mufasa, her sister and Kion were mere deaths that will bring her joy.

"I'm prepared to do what's necessary." Tiffu growled with a dark determined gleam in her green eyes.

...

A month has passed and Sarabi's sons had grown up and was adventurous. Sarabi couldn't be prouder, this particular day Sarabi and Kamaria joined the future queen to Rafiki's tree. Kiara has been sick for a few days now and she wanted to know what's wrong.

While Tiifu was cubsitting, which took everyone by surprise after she shut out everyone. Including Kion and Kiara. Tiifu waited until she was alone with the twins before grinning.

"Miss Tiifu, what are you going to do today?" asked Sarabi's youngest son. The pale cream cub looked up with excited dark brown eyes.

Tiifu smiled before heading away from the kopje. "We're going on a adventure."

Kaidan shared a wide smile with his older tawny cream brother. "Cool."

The month old cubs ran after the creamy lioness, weaving between her legs. The group eventually headed in the south gorge where Tiifu stopped by a rock slack and a small tree.

"Why don't you two wait here? I heard from a little birdie that your mommy have a marvellous surprise for the both of you." Tiifu put on a fake excited grin.

"Ooh. Can you tell us?" Jackson pleaded. His bluish eyes bright.

Tiifu ruffled the fluffy brownish tuff on the tawny cream cub's head. "No. Because it wouldn't be a secret." then her eyes widened. "I better go your mother."

"Miss Tiifu?" Kaidan called. "Would we like this surprise?"

Tiifu smirked before continuing to the mark to set off the first stage of the plan. But not before looking over her shoulder at the waiting cubs. "It's to die for."

Jackson and Kaidan watched Tiifu walk away before disappearing from their sights. Soon their boredom got the better of them. The boys started walking around the gorge trying to find something to do while they await their surprise.

Just then Jackson saw a lizard crawling on the ground. The young prince from their father, decided to take this opportunity to pracitce his roaring skills. He lept at the lizard and let out a tiny "rawr" which had no affect. But made Kaidan burst out laughing. Then he took a deep breath a let out a mush bigger "rawr!" that echoed throughout the gorge. Suddenly Jackson and Kaidan heard a strange rumbling noise.

"What the..."

They said turning their heads to see where the noise was coming from. To their horror the princes saw the stampede heading right for them. Terrified Jackson and Kaidan began to run hoping to reach safty before they was trampled to death. But the little princes couldn't out run the herd and was forced to climb onto a nearby tree and hang on for dear life hoping and praying someone would come to their aid.
