Trials In The Pridelands

[Kopalover]

Nala gasped, "What? What? Wait, where's Kiara? Is she okay? What happened? What do they look like?" She had so many questions, pacing around the den. "Take me to her, please." Saying before walking out the den.

Shetani mew'd and started hitting her brother, then opening her eyes to see the bright world around her.

Kiara smiled, "That's my girl!"

Folle padded around the den in circles, the beautiful diamonds on the wall glistened on the ground. The underground den they lived in kept them in hiding, since Chaka was too young to have cubs and would bring dishonar to his family. She sneered then turned to Chaka, "Have you seen Kiara yet? I saw her in labour." Folle had been hunting while Kiara was in labour.

Chaka sneered. "I have not seen my sister since the day I was banished," he said, growling slightly. Ali turned in the direction that he wanted Nala to follow him in. "This way," he said.

Tanabi ran up to his father, "Daddy, can you come outside and play with me?" He smiled, with his gleaming and innocent eyes. His parents destined him to be, a killer. Tanabi pleaded, hoping his father wouldn't make him do more training, he hated it.

Nala followed Ali until they got to Kiara. "Oh my god!" She said, leaning down to get closer to her new grandchildren. "They're beautiful!" She had tears in her eyes and had to hold back. "I'll go and fetch your father, this is important!" Nala said, before turning around and runnong. "Go to Priderock!" She yelled back at them, before sprinting to find Simba.

Kiara let out a deep breath then got up. "Can you please carry Shetani?" Saying to Ali before picking up Taka and heading towards their home. She walked slower than usual, as she was still hurting.

Chaka smiled, one of the few times he had done so recently. "Very well. You've been excellent in your training. Have fun," he said. Meanwhile, Ali grabbed Shetani in his jaws and left to follow Kiara.

Tanabi hollered in excitement. "Come play with me daddy!" He said, standing in the small sliver of sun that actually got into the den. "Pretty please!" Nagging once more, with a big smile that consisted of broken and crooked teeth.

Nala staggered to a stop, the old age was doing wonders on her body. Making her unable to run long distances without taking a breather. Luckily, she was very close to Simba, and knew he was about an ear shot away. A mighty roar echoed from her throat, all the way to Simba's ears. Her loud roar hadn't even begun to subdue when she starting yelling his name, over and over.

Kiara heard her mothers roars and started walking faster. "I hope the newborns will like Priderock. I hope they won't be too scared of the cold ground. I hope-" She stopped, releasing a muffled sigh from between Taka's fur. "-I hope they like us.." She finished, feeling the load of motherhood finally hit her like a slap.

[KingKovu44]

Chaka growled slightly, but then stopped. "Fine, let's go play," he said. Simba heard Nala's roar and came running to her. "What is it, love?" he asked.

[Kopalover]

Tanabi celebrated then walked out of the den. "Tag your it!" He poked his father and.started running away from him.
"Simba! It's Kiara! She had her cubs!" She said happily, pulling Simba towards Priderock. "Let's go!" She nagged.

[KingKovu44]

Simba smiled proudly. "Then let's go. I want to see my grandcubs," he said, following Nala. Chaka struggled at first, but then a side of him long forgotten, the Chaka of cubhood, returned for a brief moment. He began to chase his son.

[Kopalover]

Kiara smiled as her father and mother entered the den. "Aren't they beautiful?" She started crying, bringing her face closer to her cubs. "You can't catch me daddy!" Tanabi yelled behind him, laughing along the way!

[KingKovu44]

Simba smiled and came closer to the cubs as Prince Ali entered. "I am so happy," he said. Meanwhile, Chaka began to play-chase his son, beginning to remember happier times.
