Hey people so I know that I have been away for a long,long,long,long,long,long,long,long time but here is another chapter to end your suffering! So yeah I will be working to try and complete this story all on my own.

Chapter 13

Katie's P.O.V

So yeah to think I would not be in trouble for jumping off the falls was kind of stupid, but I can always dream. I swear I can never had any fun around here, and yet they wonder why I do these 'stupid' things. Well I can tell you I do these stupid things so that I can have some fun and just be normal, or as normal as I can get. I was now in a sense of speaking grounded, to me it was just a challenge to which my parents did not find amusing.

As part of my punishment I was not allowed to leave pride rock at all for an entire week, I just snuck out when no one was looking. Once I thought it was over my father thought it would be best to have Zazu's son Omar follow me around and babysit me. The bird was so easy to fool all I had to say was 'wow, look over there' and it made for and easy and quick getaway.

Today was a beautiful day and was going well; I escaped from the warden, found some nice fruit, and was hanging out with Akiri I was finally happy as I could be since the accident. We had a close call once when dad came by to tell Akiri it was time for his fighting lesson, so he had to leave with him and that left me by myself to roam. At the river I ran into one of my other animal friends an elephant named Mara.

"Hey Mara" I said to her. "Hey Katie" she said to me. "You're never going to believe what I found today" she said with excitement in her voice. I laughed and said "what". "Well I was walking by the tree near the outland border and I heard a noise and when I looked to see where the noise was coming from" she said taking a breath in between. "I looked to the noise and there was hair less monkey like you on the ground, he had less hair than you but ….." I was shocked at what she revealed to me, I stopped her in the middle of her sentence, "wait you saw another human" I asked. "Why yes I did". 'Another human in the pride lands'. "Mara, can you take me to him" I asked. "Sure thing princess, hop on" I hopped on to her neck and kicked to signal that I was on and ready to go.

When we arrived there I felt like I was back in a dream, there was a tent set up with a fire smothering in front of it. I climbed off of Mara and took one look around with mixed emotions. "You can go now, Mara" I said. She walked off with a bow of her head. When she was gone I went to the tent and took a look inside. Whoever was here was not here now, but I knew they would be coming back. The inside of the tent was plain with only a cot and a few bags. I was very curious to what was in the bags but had no time to look in them as a boy who looked to be about my age walked in. The thing about this boy is that he looked very familiar to me. He looked shocked that I was there and it was probably not a great first impression me being snooping around his tent.

Akiri's P.O.V

'This is boring' I thought to myself as I listened to Kovu explain some basic attack move. "Akiri are you listening" Kovu asked me, with a disapproving look in his eyes. "Uhh yeah" I said quickly, "well then can you tell me the three basic attack stances" he asked. "Uhhhh….." He shook his head disapprovingly. I had never had a father growing up and Kovu had always been there for me. My father was a rogue that was just passing thru when he met my mother, he didn't even stick around long enough for my mother to tell him that she was pregnant.

Kovu had always been the father that I never had, he has given me advice and helped me out through it all. He only drew the line when it came to Katie that was a line I dare not cross. I had come close to crossing it with the monkey falls accident. "Ok then" Kovu said "why don't you just run along and find something more interesting to do" he said. "Oh thank you" I yelled while running away, not giving him time for him to say something.

I was running thru the grasses looking for Katie, I was going to go to where I left her first. Underneath the tree where I left to go to my lesson, I looked around and it looked as she had already left, I was trying to think of where else she could have gone. I decided to go check near the river she might have gone to go visit Mara. I turned to go to the river when I ran almost face first into Omar. "Akiri" he shouted, "have you seen Princess Katie" he asked looking almost scared to death. "No I'm sorry" I said laughing at the mood that Katie got him in, I mean he looks as if his feathers are molting. "Oh no oh no oh no, my dad is going to kill me, and the king" he was muttering to himself as he flew off to go find Katie.

'Well then' I thought as I made myself to the river to, luckily it was a very uneventful walk to there. Katie likes going to the river so she could go and talk with the elephants, I personally didn't like the elephants. They always gave me a look that was judging me thinking that I was going to kill them. Usually Katie would go alone without me so it was a very good chance that I would find her here.

I got there and was looking for Katie, but all I saw was the elephants bathing and resting in the water with the hippos nearby. Being careful not to get to close to the river or the elephants I looked for Mara. I found her near the shore talking with another elephant "Mara" I called she seemed to not hear me so I shouted her name a little louder "MARA". She looked around looking for whoever had called her name, when she could not see who had called her name she looked down and finally saw me. She looked happy to see me unlike her friend which just gave me that look.

"Have you seen Katie" I asked, "why yes I have" she said. "I took her to the other human that I found on my way to the fruit trees this morning." "Wait where did you take her to", "I took her to the human's camp near the outland border". I didn't need to hear any more but she went on and on having to explain her entire day. I excused myself to just go find her on my own instead of listening to Mara's entire day from the moment she woke up.

I walked off to the outland border to go find her and I was in a hurry who knows what kind of trouble she could be in. Plus today was Kovu's and Simba's day to do the patrol of the outland border. If either of them saw her alone with a human they would murder the human and then would never let Katie leave pride rock again. It was a race to find her before they found her.

Katie's P.O.V

I saw this boy who appeared to be my same age. He was wearing an olive green t shirt with khaki pants, with some brown leather boots. I was a little scared to see him since it has been so long since I laid eyes on a human, I almost forgot what boys looked like. He seemed alarmed to see me and who could blame him I looked like something out of one of those stories my mom would tell me of Tarzan.

He had dark brown hair with matching brown eyes he was very tall and with well-built muscles. "Who are you" he demanded, "where did you come from". I really didn't want to answer so I tried to make a break for the entrance but he stopped me. He grabbed my arm and sat me down on the cot, "now then you are not going anywhere until you tell me who you are", he stated. I just sat there and stared down thinking of a way to get away, if I stayed any longer he would try to take me back. I did not want to go back and be away from the pride. When he saw that I was not going to talk he got up to go to one of his bags and rummaged thru it, when his back was turned ran out of the tent.

Just as I thought everything was going smoothly it turned as my dad and grandfather showed up. I remembered that today was the outland border patrol day, they looked shocked to see me out here all alone and with a human boy chasing after me. My dad immediately sprung to action and got between me and him. He looked terrified to see a lion standing in front of him, I saw him going to his side and I knew he was going for a gun. "STOP" I cried out, and just when I thought once again that I had everything under control again when Akiri showed up. "Get away from those lions" the boy said to me, "its ok they won't hurt me" I said. "Katie what are you doing" said my dad, "it's fine dad". "Why did you call that lion dad" he asked, "who are you". …
