He Saved Me!!!

Chapter 4: Dreams and Reality

Pride Rock was always peaceful at night. All the animals of all herds slept peacefully in their dens as twighlight covered the land.

However one of the most peaceful places to sleep was at Pride Rock.

Inside all members of Pride Rock slept peacefully. Lionesses left and right were sleeping to their minds and hearts content.

Everyone slept like cubs after a hard days of work and keeping the cricle of life in balance.

King Simba and his wife Queen Nala slept peacefully at night although Nala was half asleep having trouble trying to doze off.

Nala usually was able to sleep but at times she would wake up in the middle of the night at random times and she didn't know why. But she decided to let that happen and would eventually return to bed.

Nala looked around at everyone sleeping.

Her daughter Kiara slept calmly at night letting her dreams taking over her head. And her son Kion slept well as always after defending the Pride Lands with his friends. As for Simba he was sleeping like a cub and Nala always found that to be adorable.

She smiled at her family as the sight of them looking so innocent while sleeping was cute to her.

Almost everyone in Pride Rock was sleeping peacefully, all except one lioness cub.

Nala heard grunting noises and looked to the direction of the noise. She saw Zuri who was tossing and turning in her sleep. Usually she was not the one to dream a lot, and even if she was it would mostly be about everyone in the Pride Lands admiring her looks.

But unlike her usual dreams this one was about something or rather someone else.

Thankfully her noise didn't wake any other lionesses up however, Nala was wide awake and noticed her.

As Nala observed Zuri as she moved she let her curiosity overtake her thoughts.

"What in the Pride Lands is making her toss and turn like that. Usually I dont see her acting like that when I'm awake, but now she is acting differently in her sleep.", Nala thought.

Nala continued to observe Zuri as she was moving on the ground.

On the outside looking at Zuri like this was strange, but inside her head was a dream and a rather different one at that.

It was a sunny day in the Pride Lands as Zuri was relaxing at her favorite watering hole in the savannah.

She then decided to get a refreshing drink of water to satisfy her thirst.

As she lapped the crystal blue water with her tounge she heard a rustle in the grass next to her.

Zuri immediately began feeling nervous and but before she had time to react someone emerged out of the grass.

Immediately her nervousness went to joy as her heart pounded as she looked at the figure.

It was Kion with a smile on his face the Zuri loved to see oh so much. Just looking at it made her heart beat more times than she can count.
