Four years. That how long Sheneka was away from her home and been living with the other animals in a zoo. She didn't like the attention or the way of being treated harshly by the humans who are caring for her. The humans she was comfortable with was Keka and a few of her friends helping her find a way back without getting themselves hurt or killed. Sheneka was now asleep in her den while the male lion named Leon was out drink water. She knew that he was raised with his sister before the two were separated before she came here. They gotten along fine with the two being friends even if the keepers wanted them to make cubs. "Sheneka?" Said Leon with brown fur and Ember eyes peeking in. "What?" Said Sheneka tiredly. She lifted her head to look at him who kept on looking back to the large glass barrier and the door to the backrooms where their cages are. "Keka and others are here. But something is going on. I just don't know what." Said Leon. "Then we better be ready forit like always." Said Sheneka now standing up. She stretched a bit going through the door going in to her cage looking around carefully listening for something or anyone of the keepers. It's been hours and nothing out of the ordinary was going on once ethe last of the humans to come to the zoo were gone. They have done this whenever something was up taking turns on entering their cages to listen on anything that would catch their attention that has to with getting out. Giving up wasn't their option when they see families day by day making them home sick. Fighting ain't getting helping with the humans using the tasers or anything that's used to hurt them without leaving any damages or starve them. Sheneka laid outside the den with Leon looking up at the sky changing into night with the stars showing slowly though the thin clouds. "Neka, Leo." Said a rough voice. Thy turn to the rails of their enclosure seeing a raven perched looking down at then. "You're in luck. That group of protesters are getting you home, tonight." Said the raven. "Dont pull our furs." Said Leon. "Im not my buddies and I heard from them th pigeons about their plans and a plane with special organizations that help animals like you getting back home." Said the raven flying down. "What about this organization?" Said Sheneka. "They are just going make sure nothing happens to you. You get transfered back and none of the poachers won't even think of catching you." Said the raven. "Thanks Mateo." Said Leon. "Dont thank me yet." Said Mateo before taking off.
The sound of footsteps got their attention looking through the bars or moment before seeing two men with dark skin wearing the uniform handing them each a whole raw chicken. Sheneka lookd at it feeling hr stomach athy dinteat for week attempting fight with one of the keepers for hitting her. She devoured it with Leon almost finished on his side when they both later felt odd blurred vision and drowsiness until thy both were down. The two men shut the cages leading to the exhibit pushed them out going to the back door where a truck was waiting with others like them who want to help Sheneka and Leon return home. Loading them up and strapping the cags down the driver and the others were ready to head down to the airport. "You got them." Said the man wearing a pilot outfit help the group load up the cages in the back with many different animals that were taken from their home. The people then board the plane with the pilot ready to take off to a very long flight to Africa. It took about two days or to everyone when the plane landed getting their plan to action unloading th animals to different trucks while Sheneka and Leon soon enough woke up having a blanket covering hem. "Where are we?" Said Leon. "Home but not yet I dont recognize the scents." Said Sheneka. She felt the cage pushed into a truck with someone on her right side and moved to the roads. Pacing around her cage anxious to get out when her body tensed up as th blanket was lifted growling for a moment. "Relax my friend. You are safe." Said Keka. She saw hr relax reach a hand to pet her like she did before calming her down."we are almost and your friend will be free soon." Said Keka. She looked around the land that wre now in looking over to the other truck holding Leon seeing things are okay then faced forwardmaking the driver stop. "This is good enough. Not far where they were taken." Said Keka. She got off while truck pulled a stop next to them getting the cages uncovered. "On three. One two three." Said the driver helping to open Sheneka's cage.
Sheneka jumped out looking over to Leon who was out too before he ran off then looked at the people one last time and fled. She kept on running when she saw a bird with blue, white, with a bit of black feathers hovered above her. "Hello excuse me?" Said Sheneka getting h birds attention. "What can I do you for miss?" Said The bird. "Am I close to Pride Rock?" Said Sheneka looking down at him. "Yes it straight ahead. You must be careful as King Mufasa has rules about strangers on the lands." Said the bird. "Mufasa's King? What Taka?" Said Sheneka. "Oh you mean Scar. Who knows? Wait you know them?" Said The bird. "Im their friend Sheneka. I just gotten help coming back from the humans along with a lion named Leon but he choos a different path." Said Sheneka. "Yes. King Mufasa told me about you. Well he in for a surprise. He's about to become a father. Follow me." Said the bird leading the way with Sheneka running after him. Sheneka kept going seeing the other animals going to Pride Rock until they all gathered around with her in the front. She saw Mufasa looking at the bird who bowed to him then moved aside for Rafiti carrying a newborn cub going to h edge to raise him into the air having the animals cheer for h new her. Once it was over everyone gone back to where thy were and went to see Mufasa. "She's back. Sarabi and Imani will be happy of this." Saod Mufasa thn looked behind him to ee her. "Sheneka!" Said Mufasa running over to embrace her. "Good to see you again. Congratulations on being Kong and now being a father." Said Sheneka. "Thank you. How did you escape?" Said Mufasa as they walked inside. "I didn't. While I was taken that day a human promised to help me amd another lion named Leon return home. It's been a challenge to survive from we have been treated for the years but now e are free but Leon fled somewhere else." Said Sheneka. "Now that you're back. We have much to catch up on but first I need to talk to Scar." Said Mufasa. Thy walked until thy reached a cave hearing th bird from before calling or help. "Scar." Saod Mufasa with Sheneka behind him. "Let Zazu go." Saod Mufasa. "Impectable timing your majesty." Said Zazu who was spat out. Scar turned showing his fully dark mane looking the dame from the last time Sheneka saw him with had a Scar over left eye barely noticed she was there. "Why if isn't my big brother? Descending from on high to mingle with eh commoners." Said Scar looking at him. "Sarabi and I dint see you at the presentation to Simba. You should have gone and saw a familiar friend of ours." Said Mufasa as Sheneka went by his side. Scar walked to the wall turning his head to see Sheneka widen his eyes for a moment thn glanced at Mufasa. "That was today. Oh I feel awful." Said Scar dragging his claws down the wall creating high irritated sound doing it. "Mustve slipped my mind." Saod Scar focusing his attention to Mufasa. "Im going leave you two alone. Where is Imani?" Said Sheneka. "By the warning hol been there most of the time alon since you vanished." Scar says. "Thanks." Said Sheneka feeling the air tense up and left.
