he just lost, his friends, and he was left, all alone, in the middle, of the african savannah, far away from his trusted, Home, Houston.
far away, from his family...
He walked for Hours, but couldn't find his way, back to civilisation, as he grew more and more desperate, He heard laughter...
Laughter...
"oh no" Matthew panicked.
4 hyenas, Jumped out of the bush. 2 male, 2 female. All of them were adults. They stared at him, with the scariest expression, he ever saw. There was no life, or care in their, eyes, as if they were straight from Hell...
"Well well well, Look what we found, Fellas" a female spoke, and she looked at matthew, with the most evil, Smile.
"Ive never tried, Human before, i wonder what it, tastes like" a male spoke, just as scary as his female, peer.
matthew, was in pure shock, that these hyenas, could talk Like Humans, in English even!
"You Can TALK?!" Matthew Exclaimed, fear and confusion
another hyenas laughed like crazy, but was quickly, silenced by his fellows.
"SHUT UP! ED!" The Yelled, raising their voice, as they turned their attention, back at the Young Human. "Now, it's Time for Dinner! Eat that Muffin!, muhahahaha!" And with that, The Hyena Squad, Pounced at him.
Matthew raised His Fists, he was NOT going down, and even if he did, he was not going down without, A fight! As the Hyenas, reached him, Matthew, threw his hands, and Started fighting the Hyenas.
matthew, Punched the male in the, Face, However, he celebrated too early, as the female pounced, and pinned him, down. They began, scratching, Biting, and kicking him, everywhere, Matthew was left, heavily Injured, at the verge of Dying.
"Hello, welcome to McHumans, what would you like, to order today?" The female Joked, evilly.
the male spoke up. "Can i have, HumanNuggets?"
"of course, it'll be ready... NOW!" The hyenas started, biting matthew again, he can't go down like, this! He did nothing wrong, to deserve this! It wasn't Fair!
Matthew, started losing, consciousness, but then he heard, a loud and terrifying...
...RROOOAAARRRR!!!
"GET AWAY FROM U-" before they could kill Matthew, several blobs came out of the bushes.
Matthew's vision was becoming more, and more, Blurry, he couldn't tell the blobs were Lionesses.
the Hyenas, were fought away from matthew.
"You've done it now! Get away from Him, And don't EVER RETURN!, UNDERSTAND, SHENZI?!" A female voice spoke.
the female hyena, now identified as 'Shenzi' Looked the lioness, straight in her eyes. "No" she painted. "I'll never do it again, sarabi, Never" Shenzi, told the lioness. Now identified, as 'Sarabi'.
Shenzi, and her comrades, Left quickly, as the other lionesses, Growled, at them.
another Lionesses, ran up to matthew, all he saw was a weird blob, in front of him.
"Sarabi, He's still alive!" A female voice, coming from the blob, Declared.
"Understood, Sarafina, bring, him to priderock, i will have, Rafiki Ready!" Sarabi, said Desperately.
"Dont worry, Young one, everything will be okay" the voice, spoke.
the last thing, matthew felt, before he lost consciousness, was the blob, now identified as 'Sarafina' Lifting him, off his feet.
Matthew's POV -present-
"You're awake" a voice spoke, snapping me, out of my thoughts, as i looked up, i came face to face, with the king, of the jungle.
an adult male lion, stood right in front of me, he was an exceptionally large lion, with a very Big, Mane! He was very muscular, and carried a deep, authoritative voice.
"Y-you can TALK?!" I questioned.
the lion gave, a confused look, as he stared me directly in the eye, full of curiosity, As he tried to come off, as friendly.
"umm, yes. I can talk, just like you..." he exclaimed, as he gave a gentle nod.
"B-but, L-lions ca-ant talk-k, N-no animal can talk! He said, with fear and confusion, In my voice, as i held eye contact.
"Well, look i can talk, cause you are, having a conversation with me, Right now!" He told me, still authoritatively.
"Im sorry, animals don't talk, from where im from.." i told him, trying to sound more, friendly.
he smiled, at me and Stood up. "So whats Your name? Young one?" He asked, curiously.
"Im matthew, from Houston." I told him.
"nice to meet you matthew, im mufasa, King of the pridelands." I stared, at him. As I realised, that he was indeed, A lion king. I Quickly bowed in respect, but as i tried to, some parts of my body really hurt!
"no need for that, Young one, you need to recover." The only thing I could do, was just sit back and wait.
he continued. "Our hunting party, Found you at the border. You were heavily injured, and in need of medical assistance, so we took you to priderock, which is where you are now, our shaman: Rafiki, has treated, Your wounds, and you are now here"
I was frozen, in silence. Mufasa looked me in the face, and the tears, had retreated.
"Wait-" i asked "how far is the nearest, town or city?"
Mufasa gave me, a Look that said, I wasn't going anywhere. "Its a Week travel"
Great... I'll never survive that. I'll probably never see my family again... the tears came back, but i Held them in. Mufasa then, did a Proposal. "I was wondering, why don't you stay with us? Become a part of our pride?"
PART OF THE LION PRIDE?!
I couldn't do that, it sounded so absurd, but again, the animals here can talk, so hopefully, they value Human Life.
so i made the decision. "As long as my kind doesn't come to pick me up, I'll stay here, with the pride"
"Great" Mufasa smiled "Lets introduce, you to the Pride, so they don't, accidentally, See you as... you know... Food"
Mufasa, helped me up, and walked out of the den, towards a Group of, Lions and Lionesses.
