Manyota Shines Brightly

[LilTiger]

Chapter 1:The Talk

Manyota woke up when the sun shined in her eyes. Manyota was a brown furred lioness with light blue eyes. She stretched in the cave as she looked outside it. The pride was outside, watching the sun rise. The mothers were playing with there cubs. Manyota's smile turn upside down. She always wanted a cub. But she couldn't ever get one because she didn't have a mate.


Manyota walked outside the cave and found a comfy spot to lay in the grass. She saw the leader, Baridi, watched over the pride. Baridi roared loudly so he could let his lands know he was boss. Then, all the lionesses joined in the roar. Even the little cubs tried to roar loudly.

Baridi's proud smile gotten a little upset when he saw the sad Manyota. He walked over to her. "Why are you upset Manyota?" Baridi said as he stood above her. "I wish I had a cub....but I don't have a mate, so my dream won't come true." Manyota said as she almost cried. "I didn't have a mate until one day. Well, atlest for a day I had a mate. It was one of my old friends named Zira. She was so sweet and gentle to me, but when I woke up she was gone. I'm guessing she maybe had my cub, but Scar probably killed it." Baridi said as she looked at her with faith.

"I'm sorry for you. But what should I do...I love this pride. I don't want to leave." Manyota said as she stood up. "I...don't....know..." Baridi said. Then he walked away.
