It was raining and thundering outside. Nuka couldn't sleep. He looked around him... All the lionesses were sleeping peacefully, except for his mother. Zira was growling and rolling over in her sleep.
"Simbaaa", she muttered.
"You will... die... I must... Scar..."
Nuka watched his mother with worry. Ever since they had been exiled from the Pride Lands, she had been talking to herself... about how she would avenge Scar's death and how she would train Kovu to kill Simba.
"She is just shocked", Nuka said to himself.
"I'm Scar's heir, not Kovu. He's not even his son."
He watched the small brown furball that laid close to Zira. Kovu was so tiny... How could he ever challenge Simba and win?
Nuka close his eyes and tried to find a comfortable pose. He heard a lightning strike close by. Then he heard a small squeak and felt something warm in his arms. He opened his eyes and saw his little sister who seemed to be terrified.
"What's the matter, 'Tani? You're not scared, are you?"
The cub kept her eyes tight shut and squeaked again.
"Well, I guess you could sleep here with me... I will protect you!"

5 stars for u!
