A Second Chance

Fear and relief

"Oh Kings, what in the Pride Lands happened to you!?" Cried a terrified Nala. "We had a fight with a lion" said Kiara wearily. She was exhausted from carrying Kovu. Burnt-Ebony took Kovu and Diana took Marisa. Simba and Kiara collapsed on the platform, Kiara's breathing was hard and her heart was beating a mile a minute. Vitani ordered 2 lionesses to bring a buffalo for them to eat. The rest of the meal was just bones because the pride ate the majority. But Nala saved some meat for her daughter and husband. Diana had also saved some meat for Kovu and Marisa. While Simba and Kiara ate the meat, Katie and Zoe went to get Rafiki so he could help Kovu and Marisa. When Rafiki arrived, he went straight to work. He made Marisa sniff a potion which would give her immediate oxygen. She flickered her eyelashes a few times and in a few minutes her eyes were fully awake. Rafiki then moved over to Kovu and sprayed some strange ointment on his wound. He flinched in pain and was immediately fussed over by Kiara. "Shhhh, it's ok baby, she purred it's just a little pain, why not show that toughness that you're  famous for?" He looked at her and smiled gratefully. " I guess it doesn't hurt that much, now that you gave me that motivation push," he said grinning. He placed his head on her leg and closed his eyes in content. She bent her head and licked his muzzle, earning a soft purr from him. "Aww, crooned Vitani teasingly my brother is in love." Kovu opened his eyes and glared at Vitani. "When Rafiki is done here, you are dead Vitani!" As soon as he spoke, Rafiki got up. " They'll be fine just spray this on Kovu's wound and he'll be just fine." Rafiki left the platform and walked back to his tree. "Right, now that Rafiki is done with me, said Kovu grinning wickedly I can get my revenge on a certain lioness named Vitani." Vitani ran to the den as fast as her legs would carry her. But Kovu, who spent his whole life training was 10 times faster. In a smooth move,he jumped on her back. She screamed in fear. "MOM! DAD! HELP ME!" Marisa laughed, and  flew to her sister's  aid. Together they tackled Kovu. "Hey no fair, he said it's two against one. That's an advantage." "Not anymore it is." said Kiara. She pushed Vitani on her back and pinned her. Kovu saw his chance and wrested Marisa to the ground. "Ha, take that said Kovu triumphantly. I won again." Kiara was offended. "You won again?" She asked. "Yes I won again" said Kovu smiling. " Kiara released Vitani and glared at the one she allowed to win. " So I'm nobody then, asked Kiara looking at Kovu sadly. So I didn't help you, you helped yourself?" "Technically yeah." Said Kovu. Kiara sighed and walked away. "Ok, I won't take the credit for someone else's work. Be free to celebrate or whatever." "Kiara, help" cried Marisa. Kiara turned around and saw Marisa, but no Kovu. " Hey where's……. "SURPRISE!" "Ahhhh!" Kiara turned around, the hair on her back were straight up from fright. "Kovu, how could you!" She said loudly. Kovu, Vitani and Marisa were laughing uncontrollably on the floor.  "She fell for it, shrieked Vitani. She actually fell for it!" "Omigosh, laughed Marisa. I can't believe Kiara actually got scared. It was priceless!" " That my dear sisters was the joke of the week!" Said Kovu laughing. Kiara rolled her eyes and left.
