The Lion King: Past Events

Stampede

Scar

Next day..

Today is the day I begin my secret plan getting rid of Mufasa and Simba.

"Scar, be careful and don't get caught!" Zira warned.

I nuzzle her softly, "I won't my love! Be back later. Make sure you keep Sarabi and the lionesses busy."

Zira nod. "I will. Good luck!"

With that, I walk out of our den heading straight to Pride Rock to pick up Simba for his normal hunt lessons.

"Young Prince?" I call out.

I twitch my ears hearing small paw steps behind me.

"Hey uncle Scar! I tried to be back home before you got here. I was playing with Nala near the waterhole." Said Simba, walking up to my left side.

I look down at the golden cub smiling. "Ah, I see. Well let's get a move on with your hunt lessons."

Simba nods.

I lead the way down Pride Rock entering inside the tall grassy plains. Simba leaps happily behind me.

"I've been practicing a lot with my hunts by the way, uncle Scar!" Said Simba.

"Really?" I ask, trying to sound interested.

"Yeah. Nala and I were playing a game to see who's the best hunter. She caught a mouse successfully. I need more practice with timing and speed. It was so fast!"

"Mice are clever smart animals. It's all about patience, time, and speed. You'll get it someday. That's if you live...hehehe!"

Simba raise a brow. "That's if I what?"

I might of said that last sentence too loud. "Nothing."

"Oh."

I sigh with relief. Good thing he didn't hear! I pass a large tree and made a slight right turn. Simba slows down his walking. Maybe I am going perhaps too fast? I'm just so excited. In a few moments I am going to be King!

"Uncle Scar where are we going? I thought the hunting grounds was the other way? I've never been this way before." Said Simba, looking around curiously.

"Your father hasn't taken you this far huh I see? I'm taking you to a surprise." I said.

Simba's eyes widen. "Surprise?!"

"Yes."

"For what?"

"For being a good nephew of course."

Simba jumps overjoyed. "Oh boy!"

I smile evilly as we enter inside the gorge. So far things are falling right into plan.

"Now you wait here. Your father has a marvelous surprise for you."

Simba and I are near a rock, underneath a small tree.

"Oooh. What is it?" Simba asks.

"If I told you, it wouldn't be a surprise, now would it?" I say.
