[Open] Way Beyond the Waterhole

[Maleficent]

When Zira had heard that Simba and Nala had a son, curiosity immediately took her over. She wanted to see this child, the "future king". Since she had not been exiled yet, she picked up Vitani by the scruff of her neck and slunk through the pride lands until she reached pride rock.

"Keep an eye on your sister. I am going to find Simba," Zira told Nuka before dropping Vitani at his feet and going to find her rival.

[TheLionQueen]

"Yes mother." Nuka said before picking up Vitani and putting her in his paws.

[Maleficent]

Zira crept around pride rock in search of Simba, Nala, or the cub. Suddenly, she heard voices and saw Simba's and Nala's figures. She crept up on them quietly and gazed at little Kopa for the first time.

Sarabi returned to priderock after seeing something creeping past the waterhole. "Zira what are you doing here." She said seeing her creeping up near Simba and Nala.

[Maleficent]

Zira immediately spun around and gave Sarabi a syrupy smile, "Ah, Sarabi. It's been too long. How are you?"

[TheLionQueen]

"I'm fine Zira." She said angerly. "Look I think you should leave. You were not exiled but you should get on you way before Simba finds out you're here." Sarabi said growling lightly.

[Maleficent]

"Oh, but I only wanted to wish him good luck on his newborn," Zira purred. "He has no reason to exile me. What have I done? Nothing."

[TheLionQueen]

"Fine." Sarabi said. "I will tell him you have arrived, stay here." She said walking past Zira quickly and going to Simba's side and whispering in his ear, "Zira is here." She then walked to Nala bent over and whispered, "Zira." She stood up walking to Kopa and giving him a lick.

[Maleficent]

Zira didn't move an inch, but kept her eyes on Sarabi before eying Kopa. An evil grin spread across her face as she waited for Nala and Simba to approach.

[TheLionQueen]

Sarabi walked to Zira, she stood about ten feet away, "Zira, Simba and Nala will come in a moment, do you have any cubs?" She asked wanting to be aware of anything that Zira is related to.
