Lost (Private & Strict)

[Moka]

Nala focused her teary eyes up to the stars. She was breathing hard. "Simba, if you're up there, give me a sign. Anything!" she almost shouted. She stared up at the night sky waiting for a response, but got nothing but the consistent twinkling of stars. She lowered her head and looked around. She and Simba had watched Kovu and Kiara look at the stars on this very hill. She remembered that night vividly - it was as if the only memories left were the ones that hurt. Why did I even come out here? She thought.

[Zeke]

A soft voice seemed to shatter the silence, breaking the peaceful atmosphere of the night. Kovu knew it was Nala and quietly walked up beside her. He recognized the plain near which they stood, it was where he and Kiara had left to to gaze upon the great kings. "Silent as stars huh?" He asked in a smooth voice. Kovu waited a while until he spoke again. "Nala, is something bothering you?"

[Moka]

Nala turned her head to look at her new visitor. "Simba? Simba! You're alive!" she exclaimed, nuzzling Kovu. He took a step backwards. "What's wrong, Simba? Its me - Nala, don't you remember? I'm your queen!" she let out a giggle.

[Zeke]

Kovu regained his composure and stood confused. "Nala, what are you talking about? I'm not Simba," He said. "Nala, Simba's gone." He tried not to make it sound too harsh, for he could tell the old queen was in distress from her mate's death.

[Moka]

Nala shook her head. She squinted at her companion. "Oh, I'm sorry, Kovu. Your voice is so much lower now - and these eyes aren't what they used to be!" she said, trying to smile. "You know, I see him in the distance sometimes. I try to catch up to him, but he disappears before I gain any real distance on him." she said.

[Zeke]

"Well, he's looking after you, as the great kings should." Kovu sat next to Nala, looking up at the stars. He too looked for advice often, yet none came. He thought that he was not suited to be king, for the past kings wouldn't help him as they were have said to. After a short while, Kovu looked around at the Pridelands and realized how vulnerable they were just sitting out in the open. "Nala, we should get going soon. We have no idea where that rouge is," He said.

[Moka]

"Okay." she said. She took a last look at the stars before turning around and following Kovu. Simba had told her that the Great Kings only answered him once, and that was with Rafiki helping him along the way. If only they could give us a fraction of the answers we ask for. she thought.

[Zeke]

"C'mon," Kovu said softly and turned to Pride Rock. Kovu never took time to sit outside and look at the stars anymore. He had begun to forget how beautiful and peaceful these lands were, yet he now knew the dangers lurking there too. The killer still lurked out there, and Kovu knew well that the only way to stop him was to end his life.

~Later at Pride Rock~

Kovu slowly entered the main den of pride rock, closely followed by Nala. He eased himself back into the spot he was previously sleeping in and closed his eyes.

[Moka]

Nala entered the den right after him, but paused to look around at the pride. There were so many new faces among them, she hardly recognized Kovu or Kiara, they had grown up so much. She laid down on the pile of leaves, but they began to itch. She fidgeted for a long time before sleeping in a corner away from the rest of the pride. Getting a moment of sleep was difficult for her, but she managed to finally succumb to her wicked dreams once again.

Chissa looked to Kovu."Where had Nala been?"she quietly asked.After all this she forgotted her nightmare and anything she wanted from Kokota.Now she walked up to Kovu and layed down."Is she okay?Where had she been?"she asked again.
