Man, I have neglected one fanfic. Time to continue. Thanks for your motivating and inspiring comments! Here it goes:
Taka sat down next to his mother. Uru looked at her son. "You love her, don't you?" she asked him.
"Yes mom. But I had....well, I've been a jerk to her. I don't deserve her. If I go to her, she'll send me away.." Uru didn't react. "What is it, mom?" Taka asked. "I don't know what you did, but I know Zira. She doesn't show her feelings, but she sure has them. Don't take advantage of a lioness like her. She has been to a lot. She has a good heart, she is like a daughter to me. I don't want to see her beeing hurt. Not even by my own son. If you hurt her, you hurt me. Do you understand that?" Taka sighed. "yes mom... what should I do?" Uru stood up. "I don't know. I know you'd expect a wise answer from your old mother, but I have a lot to do.. give it some time at least." The old lioness stood up and walked away from her youngest son.
Zira walked towards the water hole. She decided to take a swim, to wash all sorrows from her thin body. She had a good meal, after catching a zebra, but the weeks of hunger were still visible on her body. Zira climbed on a little branch that was hanging over the water, and leaped into the puddle.
"Zira, Zira!" Zira gasped for a breathe after jumping into the water. "Zira!"
A thin lioness ran towards her. "My sister is having a baaaaaby, my sister is having a baby!"
It was Ranya, Sarafina's younger sister.
"Sarafina? Is she pregnant?" Zira was suprised by this sudden message. She was also suprised that this cub was talking to her. Most of the time she was an outsider in the pride. Only Uru was talking to her normally.
"I heard you didn't know yet, because you have been on a hunting training!" Ranya smiled.
Zira was confused. Hunting training? What was this cub talking about?
"Taka told me everything! That your hunting skills have improved. All the lionesses are curious about you! But.....there's more good news! Sarafina expects her cub this week, she told me! Isn't that awesome? I'm going to be an aunt!"
"Yeah....the youngest aunt in the pride.. that's really nice for you.." Zira sighed.
"What is it? Aren't you happy for me?" Ranya asked the thin lioness.
Zira didn't answer the cub's question. She walked out of the water and shaked the water off her body. What did that taka want from her? Now he was saying she has been on a hunting training? Why? What did he want from her? Zira shrugged. Sarafina was pregnant. Zira decided to visit her pridesister.
