[Open] Enemy From Within

Kiara also wandered up to Jasmine "what's up sis" she asked

Jasmine looked at the two of them then to the rest of the pride " Kovu and I have something to tell you all" she told them and then looked to Kovu for him to deliver the news

[KingKovu44]

Kovu finally smiled. "Everyone, Jasmine and I are expecting cubs!" he said proudly.

[MaxMike01]

He grinned, and pretended to sound surprised, which actually sounded like he was surprised. "Congrats, you two. This means a new generation is already set."

Vitani's jaw dropped nearly immediately. "You are?" She said, looking from Kovu to Jasmine. She'd expected it, but not so soon! She shook her head. "Busybody," she said darkly. She turned quickly to look at Kiara, trying to read her face. She was sure that Kiara was hurt from hearing this, and she was worried.

[LionPrincess]

Kovu's words rang in Kiara's ears "you must destroy them" she heard zira's voice in her head again, her stomach turned and she felt sick, she forced a smile onto her muzzle and nuzzled her sister "congratulations" she smiled to her sister, she felt like clawing her sisters eyes out but she tried to push the thoughts to the back of her mind.

Jasmine smiled and nuzzled her sister in return and then turned and nuzzled her mate.

He perked a brow. "Um, Kiara? May I have a word with you at the waterhole, please?"

[Applejack]

"Jasmine," Vitani said quickly, looking at her, "With your leave, I would like to take Kiara and resume our walk. I'd like to talk to her." She bowed slightly and tugged at Kiara, attempting to get her to follow her. "Talk with me, it'll help," she whispered in Kiara's ear. Then, she turned to Haij as he spoke to her and hissed. "Back off, please," she said.

[MaxMike01]

"Sorry, Vitani," he said calmly. "But I need to talk to her first," he said, forcing a small smile, his eye twitching in an irritated way.

[LionPrincess]

Kiara started to follow Vitani, she turned to Haij before she left "I will talk to you soon ok" she said as she licked his muzzle and followed Vitani from the den

Jasmine watched Vitani and Kiara leave and turned to Kovu and Haij "do you think Kiara will be ok" she asked

[KingKovu44]

Kovu smiled. "I think she will. She just needs time to forget everything that's happened," he said.
