What Lies Beneath

Chapter 10: Time to wake up

Back in the pridelands, evening had come around Wema and Tunu had sat alone, sad and scared. Simba had eventually came across them and didn't see Jasiri or Madoa anywhere, so Simba had brought them back to pride rock to watch over them, and wondered where they were.

...

In Thana's den, she had realized a flaw in her plan. Simba would be suspicious as to where Saka and everyone else is. She had been pacing back and forth angrily, not knowing what to do about the crisis. A few minutes later, she had an idea that would 100 percent work. She turned to Kpodo.

"Bring me Saka." Thana commanded and Kpodo nodded and went to the den where he was at. Once he entered and walked over to Saka, Jasiri got in front of him and growled.

"Move bitch, Thana needs him." Kpodo demanded and Jasiri got even angrier but then Saka got to her side and nuzzled her cheek.

"I'll be fine Jasiri." Saka satets warmly and follows Kpodo, but looks back at Jasiri as he exits the den and enters Thana's. "Y... Yes Thana." Saka said. Thana smiled at him and nuzzled his face like a cat rubs a hand.

"Saka, sweetie. I need you to do something for me." Thana started and then licked his cheek. "I need you to go to the pridelands, and tell Simba that you, Jasiri, Madoa, and Alcuthe will be gone for a while. You do that, and your one step closer to being aloud to leave. You decline." She pauses and smirks evilly. "Then i will personally rip out your cubs from Jasiri's stomach." She finishes sternly and awaits an answer.

"Y... Yes ma'am. No problem." Saka replies nervously and worried. Thana giggled lightly and smiled brightly.

"That's my strong boy." Thana says and then kisses his cheek. "Go on now... and don't be gone too long" She commands and Saka headed off. Thana then headed to Alcuthe and paid him another sexual visit.

...

Saka had walked for a good while and ended up bumping into Janja, where they both sorta jumped.

"Oh, excuse me." Saka said and tucked slightly, thinking he was with Thana.

"No, excuse me, your alright... I've just been daydreaming. Name's Janja." Janja introduced happily.

"Saka." Saka replied, feeling better. "So, where are you heading if I may ask." He asked.

"I'm heading to a lady named Thana, not sure if you know her, but she's a-" Janja explained.

"Yeah, I know her." Saka interrupted, slightly annoyed from her name.

"Oh, alright." Janja began. "Well, man, let me tell you... She is amazing at fucking." He said and chuckled and walked past Saka. "I'll be going now, see ya." He finished and ran off. Saka watched him and looked down, now understanding a lot of things and growled from sadness and resumed walking.

"That stupid fucking cheating slut." Saka growled as he kicked a pebble, not knowing Mzingo was above and smirking and flew back to Thana to inform her of the news. About an hour later, Saka had seen Simba and approached him. Simba spotted him quickly and greeted him with a welcoming smile.

"Saka, there you are. Where have you and the others been? We've been worried and the cubs were here alone." Simba quickly stated and Saka paniced slightly, but didn't show it much.

"Umm... Yeah." Saka started. "Me, Alcuthe, Jasiri and Madoa will be gone for a little while, we aren't exactly sure for how long, but it may be a few months... Can you guys watch them? We won't be able to watch them with what's happening." He explained.

"What... Is happening?" Simba asked, confused and curious.

"Just... a trip to mine and Alcuthe's old home, It's a long ways away but... we told the girls we'd take them." Saka explained more and got a bit more nervous and Simba sighed.
