It starts...

"Heh, yeah." replied Kovu. "Do you think we should be heading back to the den now? I'm feeling a little tired."

"I love you too." replies Kovu.
They both head back to the den to sleep for another night.

Kovu walks over to the corner where Kiara is laying. He curls up next to her.
"Goodnight." he says purring slightly and nuzzling her.

Kovu wakes up and sees Kiara. "Uh...hello." he says in a tired voice.

"Yeah, I'm hungry. Let's grab some while we can." replies Kovu padding over to the antelope.

Namabi padded into the den to meet Kiara and Kovu.
"Hey, how are you guys doing?" he asks "Can I have some? I'm feeling a little hungry."

"Yeah sure you can!" says Zhespah already eating from one of the antelopes "I know i know.. i didnt catch this one either.. maybe one of this days ill go for my own food.. anyways.. im done eating" Zhespah keeps talking after licking the blood away "Well.. im bored you know.. hey Kovu! lets do something.. i think we can actually try to catch an antelope so we can pay back all the food we had eaten without working" says Zhespah really excited because he actually has energy "Well come on!!" and so he gets out of the den looking for antelopes or something to catch

Fuja tries to find Simba again...suddenly he see him and runs to him

"Hey Simba, I just wanted to say sorry for leaving without saying anything...but I had to do it, my old "pride" was in trouble, I had to help them...im back now and I would like to stay here if thats okay."

Broken hesitated walking up to Simba with a strange lion with him. The one looked familiar to her but she shook it off. ?Simba.? she spoke softly to him, her voice cracked. She was bleeding badly she had been attacked. ?Thank you for your hospitality, Take care of my Asante?? She asked, blood dripping from her mouth. ?Tell him I?ll be with him, I and his father.? she turned and started walking away. ?And that I love him?? she said a hidden tear falling before she took off as fast as her injured body could go, which was still rather quick. She fell on the outskirts of the pride lands, dying slowly.

"Ok then. Thanks." replied Namabi handing over a bit to the other lionesses of the prides.

*******************

"Sure thing." said Kovu to Zhespah.

Namabi and the others stopped and stared at Broken feeling sorry for her.

Fuja went beside Broken and examed the wounds

"This doesnt look good Simba, any ideas?"

Namabi jumps down from a nearby rock and went to see if Simba needed any help. "Anything else we can do?" he asks.

Valkiria the white-blue tigeress was walking aroung in savannah. :ayecapn:
"I see... A Rock! :Ooo: Maybe I can find someone there?"
She ran to the rock.

Namabi lays down next to Broken trying to keep her as warm as possible.

Fuja stands aside not sure what to do, he is wondering who did this to this poor lioness

He looks away not wanting to see anymore, he walks a bit

Broken growled unable to decipher who was around her. Her eyes wouldn?t obey her, as they closed tightly in pain. But she heard the question of ?who? she tried to answer but coughed violently. ?Keep him away? she rasped. ?He is a murderer??

Suddenly Valkiria has collided with a group of lions.
"What? Who are you? And what's with this poor lioness?"
She stared at them.

P.S. Sorry for the previous message, there was a mistake in it and I can't edit it.
:confused:

"Hello Kimi" - Valkiria purred.
The tigress looked at Broken.
"Who could do this?" :alone:

"Someone who's cruel enough to do it." replies Namabi still laying at the side of her to keep her warm. "Hello there by the way, I'm Namabi." he gives Valkiria a little smile.

Fuja walks away feeling strangely sad and lays down on a rock not to far from the place they were taking care of Broken

Broken is hard pressed for breath chocking on blood. ?Dark.? She hissed. ?Keep him form my baby?? she pleaded. ?He killed- my family? she spat out moving to get up before falling again.

Namabi backed away. "Who killed your family?" he asked. "Try to tell us."

"Dark..." she whispered trying to stay awake. "He followed me..."

"Gaah!! COME HERE YOU THING!" Zhespah shouts at a zebra that he was chasing, but as a bad hunter he scared it too early... after a time of looking around for more things to hunt, he looks back to the pride rock "Um.. theres a lot of movement up there. I wonder what is happening.... should we go and see Kovu?"

Kovu was in the den with Kiara playing with Leo and Leana (Namabi's cubs).

"Dark?" - Valkiria looked at Broken. - "Who's Dark? A lion? a tiger? Who? And where is he now? We must know. We'll help you, sure!"

Fuja walks into the den and sighs and lays down on the floor of stone

"Heh, I think so.." I just got shocked by the site of that lioness hurt thats all

"Yeah." Kovu said nuzzling Kiara. "It will be great." he smiled. "Who's cubs are they anyway?"

"Yeah..." replies Kovu smiling.

*****************************

Namabi decides it is time for rest. He snuggled up in a corner with Lunara. He calls his two cubs over, "Leo, Leana, time for sleep!"

The two cubs run over and snuggle up between Namabi and Lunara.

"Okay, but It'll just be a nap." he says smiling to Kiara walking over to where she is curling up.

Broken ceased to answer closing her eyes gently and letting out her last breath. Dark was her mate?s father, he hated her since she got in his way or ?training? his son, Bill. He was a lanky lion out prowling in what once was the out lands.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Asante woke the warmth of the other lioness had gone. He looked around for his mother?s soft eyes. He mewed but went silent, remembering his mom always telling him to stay quiet when she was not around.

"Is she...?" asks Namabi too upset to continue his sentence. He also holds his head down.

"We'll all have to search for him I guess..." replies Namabi wiping away a tear that had fallen from his eye.

Asante stepped close to his mother?s body. ?mama? he called softly pulling her torn ear.
?wake up?? he sobbed. He remembered Dark, he was huge, scary. His grandfather was ?Dark? he remembered. He moved to hide behind Namabi?s paw. ?My grandpa?? he whimpered. His talking has improved quite well since the nights previous.

Namabi looks down to Asante. "Your grandpa?" he asks.

Asante?s tears fell while he remembered what he saw when he was younger. ?Dark?is?? he sobbed burying his face into Namabi?s leg (Much like Simba did to scar? but he?s behind the leg) terrified. ?he killed them? he is my grandfather?Dark?? he stammered.

"We'll get him for you, we promise. We're not going anywhere until we get him..." says Namabi looking worried for Asante.

Fuja walks out of the cave and looks at the body and the grieving lions by her

"Who can have done such a thing" he thinks aloud
