Vitani's Story

[KingKovu44]

Simba turned to her. "Nala, we've been through this. I'm not the king. Scar is," he stated.

[Queen Elsa]

"Simba, he let the hyenas take over the Pridelands." Nala explained, her mood becoming sad.

[KingKovu44]

Simba looked at her when she said this. "What?" he asked.

[Queen Elsa]

"Everything's destroyed!" Nala explained. "There's no food, no water. Simba if you don't do something everyone will starve!"

"Dad says this trench used to be filled with water." Nuka explained to Vitani. "Now he says it's a neat hiding spot for cubs." Vitani looked down and stared in amazement.

Simba looked away. "I can't, Nala. I just can't. What happened was all my fault!" he said.

[Queen Elsa]

"What do you mean?" Nala asked, puzzled. What was going on right now that was Simba's fault?

[KingKovu44]

Simba tried to reign in his emotions. "I don't want to talk about it!" he said irritably.

[Queen Elsa]

"Come on! You even told your meerkat friend that I was your best friend! Why won't you tell me?" Nala asked. She didn't like it when her friends kept secrets.

Simba sighed and turned to her. "Fine, I'll tell you. If I hadn't practiced my roars that day, the stampede would never have happened and my father would still be alive. Are you happy?" he said.

[Queen Elsa]

"I see." Nala replied. "Please come back. We need you. You can't just keep hiding."
