A Lion's Tale 2

Chapter 1

+ Hey guys, I wasn't going to make another book, but then someone said they would want to see another one. So here it is. Go give her a follow, because there wouldn't be another book without her. Alexis_Ren_ is awesome!+

I washed Khali, he was still very young and barely walking. He was a living reminder of Nuka. Sometimes I looked him, and I could feel Nuka's presence. While Nuka wasn't the best, or most handsome lion. He loved me, and I loved him. I heard feet quietly coming up behind me, and my mother instincts kick in so I growl a warning. "Hey, it's just me..." I looked, it was Vatali. "Hi. sorry." I mumble. "He looks like Nuka." She says softly. "Yeah, he really does." Then I started crying. "What tell him Vatali? What do I tell him about his father?" She just sighs. "I don't know... I don't know Ash."

I picked up Khali and walked over to another lion, who babysat all the cubs. "Hi Nasha, can you watch Khali for a while? I need to hunt. Clear my head." Nasha was part of Simba's pride but I trusted her.  She nodded and I left. I ran to the out lands. Grass had started to grow, soon it would be healed over. Even though I was born from the pride lands, the outlands were my home, my way of living. I chased down a gazelle and dragged it back. I put it  in a small cave we kept our food in. Then went to get Khali. I saw a sleeping Nasha, but no Khali. I snarled as she woke up. "Where's Khali?" I growl. She whispers. "I don't know? He was right here. He was asleep." I growl fiercely. "He's not here now!" I shove her aside. Calling for Khali. Then I heard small whimpers. Khali. I leaped of Pride Rock to see him being played with as if he was a doll. A few female cubs were pretending he was a baby doll. I snarled the cubs squeaked in surprise. "What are you doing?" I growl. "We just wanted to play." They said. I snarl, but then Kiara jumped out of no where protecting the four cubs. I pick up Khali and walk away. I wouldn't have hurt them. I was angry though.

I set Khali down... He was shaking. I sat down in the setting sun, "I'm so sorry darling. I didn't mean to let her lose you." He looked at me with big green eyes. Another lion approached. I snarled. Still angry. "Hey. Don't bite my throat out." A cheerful voice said. I slumped to the ground. "What do you want Kovu." I snap. "Just wondering how you were doing. Kiara said you snapped on a few cubs." He said. "Please, I didn't even touch them. They were playing with Khali as if he were a doll. I did what any lioness would have done. I only did what Zira did for you." Kovu flinched. "I don't belong here Kovu! None of us do. Don't you see?" I snap. "You are the only one who thinks that, the others seem to feel like they belong." He retorts. "Nuka would have wanted you to at least try." He says softly. "I know. I just miss him, I miss him a lot." I cry and bury my head in his shoulder.

Then we heard, "Outsider! Coming in close." I snap up my head, dropped Khali in the crib I had made, which was just a hole deep enough so he couldn't crawl out, and it was padded with fur.  And I ran to the edge of Pride Rock.
