The Lion Guard: The Purest Wolf and the Fiercest Lion

A Fate Worse Than Death

Hello, everyone. Ladies and gentlemen, prepare yourselves for the feels, and the most sappiest, yet, truest cliches. I know what you're thinking. "Blegh. Gross. This is so cheesy." Yeah yeah yeah. Despite all that, a lot of you will still love it. Now, without further ado.

It had taken a while, but Raven had finally finished with the item she needed for her plan. The lioness witch looked like she had just caught the biggest catch in the world. And in a way, she did. She walked into the Volcano in human form, and everyone could see the big grin on her face. Kiburi was confused, and leaned towards Janja. "Hey. Something seem off with her to you?" The crocodile asked the hyena. "Yeah. She seems happy. And when she's happy, that means someone had suffered by her hands." Janja replied to the crocodile. Kiburi then looked at the hyena curiously. "Ya know, you seem to be able to read her really well. How?" He asked.

Janja kept his composure on the outside, but was panicked on the inside. "I woulda thought you'd be able to pick up on that as well. Whenever she causes chaos for some poor, unfortunate soul, her glee is practically written all over her face." Janja remarked. Kiburi raised his eyebrow at that, but didn't say anything further. Janja just shook his head, and walked towards the lioness witch he was falling in love with. "Hey, Blackbird. What's got you in such a happy mood?" He asked her softly. Raven looked down at Janja, and then chuckled. "Oh, nothing. I've just finished with something that will help me get rid of Alice. For good." Raven said that last part with a smirk on her face.

Janja looked at her surprised, and was immediately curious. "Really? How are you gonna do that?" He asked her. Raven's smirk got bigger at his question. "With an apple." Was all that she said. Janja was confused by her answer. "An apple? How would a fruit help you get rid of the Freak?" Janja asked her. Raven said nothing. She only held her had out, and a tiny cloud of black smoke appeared on the palm of her hand. Janja watched as the cloud of smoke dissipated, and his eyes widened at what was in the lioness witch's hand. In her hand, she held a pitch black apple in the palm of her hand. "W-what's that gonna do?" He asked, looking at the apple with nervousness.

Raven only shook her head with a smile. "Tsk tsk tsk. That would spoil the surprise." She answered him. Janja hummed at that, but then a question came to his mind. "Hey, how are ya gonna get her to eat that apple in the first place?" He asked. Raven looked down at him with a serious expression on her face. "I'll answer your question, with a question. What would you do for the ones you love?" She asked him. Janja didn't even need to think about the answer to that. He looked directly into her ocean blue eyes, losing himself in them. "Anything." He said softly, not really thinking about saying it. Even though she probably won't feel the same, he'll still do anything for her.

Raven nodded her head. "Exactly." She said to Janja's answer. She then made the apple disappear, and she walked away towards Sabrina. "Hey, Wicked Witch. I'm gonna need your help for something." She said to the green skinned witch. Sabrina looked to Raven with a blank look. "What do you need, Evil Queen?" She asked, no emotion in her voice. This unsettled Raven a little bit, but she shook it off as it probably wouldn't matter. "I'm gonna need your help in separating Alice from the Lion Guard and her family." She explained. Sabrina lifted her eyebrow at this. "Is that all? Too easy." She said, a bored expression now on her face. "Okay, then how about something more fun. Keeping them away from her long enough so that I can get to Alice uninterrupted." Raven suggested.

Sabrina hummed at that. "Alright. Whatever you have planned better work. I don't like my time to be wasted." She told the lioness witch. Raven nodded with smirk and turned and walked away to prepare. Sabrina watched the lioness witch walk away, a distant look on her face. She was currently remembering that day the skinks came to the Volcano with information about Raven.
