[Closed] Before The Beginning

[Maleficent]

Bianca took a few steps backwards, keeping her eyes on the hyenas. She glared at Ramses. They could've gotten along, she thought.

"Should I go see if she's already?" Taka asked, continuing to pace.

[KingKovu44]

Cassim put himself between the hyenas and his daughter, roaring again, this time with Ahadi, which sent them running. He then turned to Bianca. "You are in a lot of trouble, young lady!" he said. Mufasa shook his head. "Taka, her father is going for her," he said.

[Maleficent]

Bianca took a few steps backwards, but said firmly, "I could've handled them. I can fight! Besides, you never told me not to explore."

"Yes, I know, but what if she needs me?" Taka continued to fret.

[KingKovu44]

Cassim frowned. "We're going back to Pride Rock right now, Bianca. Do not argue!" he said as he went to pick her up by the nape of her neck. Mufasa shook his head again. "No, Taka. Stay here," he ordered.

[Maleficent]

Bianca looked behind her sadly and struggled when Cassim picked her up, "I can take care of myself!"

Taka frowned and sat down, "But there's nothing to do here anyways. She did have a point."

[KingKovu44]

Cassim said nothing as he and Ahadi headed back home. Mufasa looked at Taka. "She made her choice," he said.

[Maleficent]

Bianca sighed miserably and asked tentatively, "Can I go play with the other cubs?"

Taka nodded and asked, "Do you think she'll be alright?"

[KingKovu44]

Cassim set her down and sighed. "As long as you don't wonder off again, yes," he said. Mufasa shook his head. "You care too much, Taka," he said.

[Maleficent]

"I won't," Bianca promised quickly before running in Mufasa'a and Taka's direction.

Taka smiled wryly at Mufasa's statement and replied, "I seem to care too much about all the wrong things."

[KingKovu44]

Mufasa saw Bianca coming. "So, what happened?" he asked.
