So hey guys thank you for the criticism for the last chapter. I really took that into consideration and will try to apply into this chapter. So please enjoy and as always please review.
Chapter 10
Kiara's P.O.V
I walked into the den to give a little talk to my daughter. "Katie can I talk to you" she looked at me with a scared look on her face before I could even say anything more she went into apologizing. "Im sorry I left this morning" she said with tears briming at her beautiful blue eyes. I could tell in the way her voice that was more that she was telling us. " I just wanted to be alone" . " it feels like I have no freedom or privacy". I looked at her and understood where she was coming from with having no privacy and no freedom, and constantly being watched over. I guess I never really understood till now why my father always was so concerned about my safety. I wanted to keep her safe she was my world now and I didn't want here to be taken from me.
" I think I understand where you are coming from, my father would always be protective of me". " But he was because he loved me and didn't want nothing to happen to me". I said pulling her into a hug. " why don't you go out and play with your new friend" I said. She nodded here head excitedly and rand out to meet up with Akiri. Those two would make a great pair I could already tell. Katie really needed a friend in this time of her life. " How did it go" said a voice behind me. I turned around and saw my mate Kovu with a smirk on his face. " Good" I said walking up to give him a nuzzle. " I saw her when she ran out, She and Akiri went down to the waterhole" he said. "Well, lets hope they both stay there" I said. "They better, or its not going to be pretty the next time she runs off like that again" , he said with a fatherly voice.
We both walked out of the den together to see the hunting party returning with dinner. "I guess ill go get Katie " I said. "ill go get her dinner from Rafiki along with her medicine." he said heading off to his tree. I walked down to the waterhole and found the two of them in the middle of a game of tag. I didn't want to interrupt them so I sat down on some rocks in the sun enjoying the warmth. I dozed off and though about that day when I found out that I could not get pregnant and have cubs of my own. Me and Kovu were devastated and I cried half the night and refused to eat anything that day. Kovu who felt responsible for why we couldn't have cubs disappeared all day and didn't come back till night. I still to this day have no idea where he went or what he did.
The only one thing that came out of those events was Katie entering lives. Part of me knows that she will never truly be mine. But, I will love and care for her and show that she is loved and show her the same love as I would give to her if she was my own cubs.
The one thought that was at the back of my head was 'what will her real parents think with me raising their daughter'. I quickly got over that thought and pushed it to the side when I felt water splash on me. I looked up to see both of the kids swimming and splashing in the water. When they had their fun I called them both out and led them up so Akiri could eat then led Katie to her spot where she ate.
Katie's P.O.V
My mom led me to the spot where I would eat. I was really wanting to play with Akiri instead of eating dinner. My mom made sure to sit me in the sunlight so that I could dry off. Then my father came up with my food from Rafiki and to my dismay some medicine I will be very happy when I no longer have to take the medicine. My mom left so she could go eat and my dad stayed to make sure that I ate. I grabbed the hollow out coconut shell filled with fruit. I leaned against my father and started eating the fruit. Today has been a good day I thought. When I was done eating we both walked up to the den and met up with everyone in there. I found my spot where I slept, right between my parents, we said our good nights and they both fell asleep easily and quickly. The moonlight that shone into the cave was not allowing me to fall asleep. It reminded me of my 'real' mom. She always loved the moon and the night. I had not really shown that I missed them I kept it deep down buried within in me and didn't allow it to show. With one last look to the moon I closed my eyes and allowed sleep to overcome me.
