CandyLuv99, hopefully. One thing is for sure, Zira and Tiifu are not going to be happy.

Here's the next chapter, enjoy.

Morning Surprises

Sarabi stood at the peak of priderock with a distant look as she watched her sons chase their friends around the waterhole. A heavy sigh left Sarabi's light beige muzzle as she was bomb raided with memories, she so badly tried to forget.

"Sarabi, are you alright?"

Sarabi looked behind her to see Kiara with a tawny lioness with pale green eyes. Sarabi gave a small smile before turning to face the lionesses completely. "Why wouldn't I be?"

Kiara shared a look with the tawny lioness before moving her emarald green eyes to their friend. "You seem like you're fighting with yourself. Sarabi, what's going on?"

Sarabi closed her orange eyes and sighed deeply. "Jackson and Kaidan...they are Mheetu's."

Kiara frowned as she looked between the two older lionesses. "Who's Mheetu?"

"My older brother," tears fell from the tawny lioness' eyes. "Why didn't you say something!"

"Because Sarafina!" Sarabi cried. "Manu knew that I was in love with Mheetu. But he wanted me since at first he couldn't have Qzira. He...killed Manu and said that if I didn't become his mate he'll kill Jyoti. So...I agreed. But I was already pregnant with the boys."

"We all thought you were barren." Sarafina mentioned. Trying to make since of it all.

Sarabi shook her head. "I only said that to put it off. Rafiki gave me a flower to delay my labour for a bit. But now that I have confessed, I am at ease."

Kiara and Sarafina shared a look before smiling until they heard a loud roar that was unlike any other.

...

Sherise slowly blinked her dark purple eyes open for her ears to perk at the sound of squeals and laughter. Sherise stood and walked towards the small cave entrance to be splashed by a small tidal wave. Loud gasps let the dark brown cub know that her sisters were hit too.

"Hey!" Sherise yelled as she ran out of the cave to stop at the cubs gathered.

A pair of black eyes stared before growling. "Who are you Outsider!"

Sherise pinned her ears as her sisters joined her sides. "We don't mean any harm. We swear,"

A creamy tan cub with a scruffy creamy tan tuff on her own rolled her pale blue eyes. "We don't trust Outsiders."

"Wait." A golden cub appeared. His orange eyes on the shaking peachy cream cub. "Nala? Is that you?"

Before any of the sisters could react the waterhole was surrounded by eerie laughter. Followed by the appearances of hyenas.

"Well, well, well. What do we have here?" laughed a female dark grey hyena.

"Oh I know, Regina. Lunch!" laughed a drooling pale grey hyena as his pale yellow eyes locked on the cubs.

"You will not harm anyone today, poachers!" Sherise yelled, standing between her sisters, the Pridelands cubs and the hyenas. "Now leave!"

Regina laughed before looking at her group. "You hear this? A cub demands!"

Something snapped as the one called Regina apporched a pale cream cub. Sherise's eyes shined brighter than any stars as a roar unlike any from the strongest lion erupted from Sherise's tan throat. "I said...leave!"

The forced of the roar knocked the hyenas into the air and out of sight. Sherise smiled before collapsing and everything went black.
