Today's your lucky day. I have uploaded 2 chapters for you guys because they are kinda short. Enjoy.

The news had shocked everyone. The royal family missed their son and the guard hasn't been the same since they heard. It was hard for Fuli to tell them. She wanted to burst into tears right when the words escaped her lips.

Flash back

"I don't know how to tell you this but...Kion's gone."

The guard didn't know what to say. Their mouths drop and their eyes widen. They didn't have to ask why. Fuli could easily read their faces.

"He's afraid that he'll end up like Scar and wanted time to think." She answers.

"He didn't even say goodbye to us..." Says Bunga sadly, while rubbing his arm for comfort.

"It's all my fault." Whispers Beshte, sitting down.

Ono flies over to him and lands on his head. "It's not your fault. Kion did what he did to save your life but he also scared himself."

"How do we tell this to the royal family?" Asks Beshte.

"We just tell them. They need to know. Might as well tell them and...try to move on." Replies Fuli, looking at her paws.

"How are we gonna do that?" Asks Bunga.

"Honestly Bunga, I don't know."

End of Flashback

The day has came and gone. King Simba, Queen Nala and Kiara almost seemed to break at the thought of Kion running away. Fuli was the one to tell them. She couldn't help but burst into tears when she told them. Simba ordered his lionesses to search for his missing cub but deep down he knew that Kion was long gone. When the sun set, the lionesses returned with nothing.

That day, Fuli took role as leader of the guard. As much as she didn't want this, no one else wanted to lead.
After a long day of running and chasing, the guard returned to the lair to rest for the night. Beshte went into the little pond and rests his head on a rock with Bunga resting on his back, Ono flew up to his nest and Fuli lays down on the rock ledge where she and Kion used to sleep. Kion's scent flooded her nose and Fuli couldn't help but let a tear roll down her cheek.

"Night everyone." Says Fuli.

"Night guys." Says Ono sleepily.

"Sleep tight." Continues Beshte.

"Don't let the bed bugs bight." Yawns Bunga.

Usually Ono would freak out at this but no one was in the mood to do anything. After an hour or so everyone had fallen asleep but Fuli awoke to the sound of sniffling. She raised her head to see Bunga's eyes full of tears.

"Bunga? Are you alright?" Asks Fuli in a whisper.

Bunga looks at her with the saddest of eyes. "It's so weird without Kion."

Fuli nods. "I know. We all miss him."

Bunga nods. "I hope he comes back one day."

"I hope so too." She replies. "Want to sleep over here?"

Bunga gently jumps off Beshte's back and walks over to Fuli. He leans against her side and Fuli wraps her tail around him for comfort.

"I miss Kion." Whispers Bunga.

"I know Bunga I miss him too." Replies Fuli.

After sitting in silence for quite some time, they drift off into a restless sleep.
