Remember Your Pride (DGFone, Kopalover)

[UncoordinatedPisces]

[spoiler=Please Read]To put you in the picture -
Scar has just told the pride about the 'death' of Mufasa and Simba. I suggest we just go with the flow in this RP and see what happens, no definite plot or anything.

Side notes -
In this version of events, I'm having Mheetu be Scar's son with Sarafina. Just realized that DGFone is playing both Scar and Sarafina, so I'm swapping roles around (if you have any problems PM me Yoni ^^) Zira and the others arrive after Tojo and the comic cubs have left. Also, Tojo and Tama are going to be a couple and Chumvi & Kula are siblings (Chumvi being older). Zoe, it's up to you when you want Xenia to come in ^^ [/spoiler]

It seemed so surreal. Two deaths in one day. Especially those of the King and the Prince of the Pridelands. All Sarafina could do was try to place a comforting paw on her cub's shoulder, trying to stop her from crying so hysterically. She glanced at her best friend, Sarabi, who had worn the same expression for minutes now. Sarafina had to muster up all the strength she had not to start crying too.

Her attentions turned to the masses of hyena's that began swamping Pride Rock, they didn't seem to care. They were laughing to themselves and making themselves comfortable. She wondered how Scar could let such things happen, his brother and niece had just died. Not one of the lionesses or cubs wore a smile, they were all in shock.

A distance away from the others, a group of cubs sat. A few were shedding a tear, but Chumvi had stopped crying. The dark coloured cub managed to catch his friend Tama's glance towards him. They were both devastated. Simba was one of them, a friend they never wanted to lose. After a few moments, Chumvi turned around and acknowledged his sister Kula.
"A-Are you ok?", he managed to mumble out, his words choked with tears that had yet to come.

Tama however, desperately wanted to go over and comfort Nala. She didn't know whether she'd be helping though, she'd end up crying as well. Taking cautious steps, she padded over to her. Bumping her head against hers affectionately. Sarafina looked at Tama with a solemn but thankful gaze.

"Tama...please watch Nala for me", as much as she didn't want to leave her daughter in her time of mourning, she had to check on Sarabi. The cub nodded, and then looked back at Nala, waiting for her to say something or do something. Tama had never experienced anything like this before. She didn't know what to do.

Sarabi just stood in shock. Her eyes quickly began to fill with tears, but her body was too paralyzed to let her wipe them. It felt as if her heart dropped in her chest, and broke into a thousand shards that pricked at her chest. Her breathing began to grow shallow, and her limbs shook. The shine in her eyes was gone, they were dull.

She could feel the endless amount of eyes staring at her, she could hear the distant laughter of hyenas grow louder and louder. Still, she could not move and take charge. Her eyelids grew heavier and the bulge in her throat quickly turned to sobs. Her body dropped to the ground as she covered her eyes.

Sarabi could feel the presence of Sarafina, but did not aknowledge that she was there. The former queen just lay on the stone and sobbed, her fur matted with each falling tear. Mufasa and Simba, both were gone and both were never coming back. The thought broke her heart even more.

Nala didn't say anything as Sarafina left her with Tama. As Simba's best friend, the news of his death had left her without the will to do anything. All the games the two of them would play together were now impossible to to again. Not even with anyone else. Not only was Simba irreplaceable, but now Nala didn't even want to participate in the games that would often get the two of them in trouble.

Without Simba, Nala's life felt like nothing.

So even as she knew that Tama was waiting for her to react, Nala just lay where Sarafina left her, staring at the air in front of her through the layer of tears that had covered her eyes. Not even after Tama had nudged her slightly, Nala still didn't react.

Next to them, Kula had managed to so far remain intact as far as the others were concerned. She looked over at Chumvi when he spoke to her, and nodded slightly in answer. Her eyes fell on Nala again, knowing how much harder Nala took the news compared to the others. While they were all friends in their group, Simba and Nala were much closer than anyone else. They were just about inseparable. Kula slowly padded over to Nala and sat down next to her friend, not saying anything.

Sarafina itched closer to Sarabi. Lying down next to her. She couldn't begin to imagine the emotional pain she was in. The lioness moved closer to her, letting her head rest on top of her friends. She was trying to comfort her, for her sake and the sake of the Pride. Sarafina knew it would take time...the two had been through deaths in the pride before, but nothing as close to Sarabi's heart than this.

Tama took a deep breath,
"Nala...S-Simba didn't like it w-when you cried". Her voice came out worst than she expected, a few of her own tears slipped out. She was worried about her friend, the arrival of Kula next to them comforted her a little more.

Chumvi managed a weak smile. Anything to lift the mood. He watched Kula get up and sit next to Nala. He wasn't sure whether he wanted to do that or not. Nala was his friend...but he wouldn't be of any comfort. Instead, he sat next to Tojo and Malka. He began observing things around him, trying to take his mind off things. Seeing hyenas and the Queen in such a state didn't help. It was going to be an excruciating long night.
