The new danger in the land

[Adofo]

Nuru saw a giraffe and started diggin in.

Vitani: Let get back. I need a nap.

Marini chuckled as she watched Mufasa join his brother. They were just so cute together. Even if they argued a lot, they were inseparable.

With a soft smile, Kopa let Vitani go. "Whatever you say. Would you like to go back to our den, or to our spot where it's quieter?"

[Adofo]

Tua: And honey...again...I'm sorry that i brought up the cub thing. I promise I'll never mention it again. Ever.

Vitani: Sorry........I'm not in the mood anymore.
She was obviously still very sad.

Marini gave Tua a quick smile and then joined their cubs in eating.

Kopa quickly said, "No! I was just thinking you might want a quieter spot, that's all..."

[Adofo]

Tua joined in.

Vitani: I just...want to be alone.

[TheWhistlerify]

Kopa slowly moved away. "Oh, t-that's okay..." he said, a little hesitantly. "But... I'll see you later, right?"

[Adofo]

Vitani: .......yeah.
She went off by herself. After a few hours she saw her sister in law roaming the land by herself.
Vitani: Hey Kiara. Hey.....can we talk....please?

[TheWhistlerify]

Kiara looked a little surprised to see Vitani there. "Sure." she said, coming to a halt. "What is it?" Her sister in law looked rather upset...

Meanwhile Kopa went back to the den at Pride Rock and settled down in the back without saying a word to anyone. His daughter was busy eating so she didn't even notice him come in.

[Adofo]

Vitani: Kiara.....can I admit something to you? Ever since I met him....I've been in love with Kopa. Every second of everyday I thought we were soulmates! But...it turns out...I'm not. Over the years I fooled myself into thinking it was still true. But the moment I saw Siari on his back...I could finally see the truth. Just look at the signs...when he left, he never even told me he was leaving. Not even a goodbye. If i was his soulmate he wouldn't have gone so far with his last mate. And...if she were still alive...me and him...would never be. I feel so....so second best! That...he settled for me to not be alone. I know thats not his intention but...thats how it feels. The one you love most in the world who you know is your one and only soulmate.....and you're not his. I feel so...empty. Knowing my whole life was a lie. I only ever had Kopa and my mother. And after our prides merged, after what my mother said to me, the only thing I had left was him.....and now................everything I have ever known has been a lie!

Tua: Something wrong?

[TheWhistlerify]

Kiara's ears went flat against her head. "Vitani, Kopa had no way of telling you he was leaving... You were in the Outlands, remember?" The princess sighed. "You have no idea how happy he is with you, really..." she said, smiling a small smile. "Really, I can see it in his eyes..."

Kopa shook his head a little. "No..." He felt like being alone.

(Are they going to break up?)
