Chapter 9: A Long, Painful Death...
Huge thank you to CheetahpawTheFastest for giving me ideas to help me continue on and for the cool song. You're the best! Go check her and her stories out!
Kion's eyes suddenly opened and panted heavily. His fur bristled with panic and his heart pounded a mile a minute, blood roared in his ears. He looked around himself and let out a heavy sigh when he saw no multiple burn marks on him. It's just a dream... It's just a dream... It's not real...
Kion shook himself as he tried to stay calm. He then felt a stinging sensation on his shoulder, he turned to look down at it and his eyes widened with horror.
"What?!" he gasped. Right there, was the same scar on his shoulder that Fuli's fire spirit gave him in the Savanna of the Shadows. How is that even possible!?
He bent his head down to clean the painful wound, then he realized that his throat was drier than ever. He recalled the dirty puddle of water that he came across before, refusing to drink it. He glanced over to his right and sure enough, it was still there.
Well, it's either drink that or die of dehydration. He reluctantly padded over to the puddle of water and lapped it up with his dry, rough tongue. His lips curled in disgust when he tasted it once more. He tried not to gag and spit out the so-called 'water,' and found it very hard to do so. Ugh, this tastes way worse than Tuliza...
His thought's circled back to Fuli. He'd never ever imagined in his whole life that she could be so cruel. But I deserve it. I KILLED her. She was only trying to help me and I KILLED her. In fact, she had helped me this whole time on the journey, I would've been lost without her... But now she's gone, all because of me. I deserve to be trapped in these tunnels...
"I killed her when she was only trying to help me..." Kion muttered to himself. "What kind of friend am I?"
The memories of his dream flooded back to him. Fuli's words rang clearly through his head. "This is the Savanna of the Shadows. This is the place where animals like you and Scar belong. And believe me when I say, if I EVER find you in the tunnels, still alive, I WILL make sure you go join Scar after a long, painful death...'
Kion stiffened at the last three words. 'A long, painful death..."
He shuddered, terrifying images flashed through his mind. He knew death would come to him eventually, but he never expected it to be so soon.
"I deserve this," he told himself. "I killed her... my friend." Tears slowly rolled down his cheeks as he cried again. "She's dead because of me. It's all my fault..."
I'm trapped alone
Far from home
Was I always destined this fate...?
Now I'm on my own
And if only I'd known
About the monster my scar would create...
She... Tried to help me
But I got so caught up in my own pride
That I decided to lie and leave all my morals behind
Killed her in cold blood
I won't ever forgive myself for what I've done
The fight I decided to start
Ended up tearing us all apart
And now we'll all live with broken hearts
Broken hearts...
And now I'll be stuck wandering these tunnels and caves
As punishment for all the hatred I gave
And I know she could never have forgave me...
That I definitely know and see
And now, I'm trapped down here without a way out
With nothing to do about my scar
And how far
It brought me so... low
And there's something that I know...
I'm going to die
And my spirit will never touch the stars or the sky
My ancestors and Fuli are going to decide
That will go to Hell for who I really am inside
I'm trapped alone
Far from home
With no escape
I'm on my own
Forever alone
And in pain 'cause all the scars and scrapes
My wounds won't stop bleeding, I won't last long
And now I'm pleading that my friends will stay strong
But I know that I tore them apart
I broke all their hearts...
And as I sing this song
I think about the times when I truly belong
Back when I wasn't scarred
And I wasn't traveling far
Oh, Fuli, I wish you could know
That I didn't mean to hurt you so...
I loved you as my friend with all my heart
Yet I took my claws out and tore you apart...
I don't ask for forgiveness
I just wanted to tell you this
And now I'm trapped alone
Far from home
I was destined for this fate
I'm on my own
And I wish I'd known
About the monster my scar would create...
Filled with regret
And I'm upset
With myself
And now I'll never get help
And right now, I can tell
That all the spirits will send me to Hell
Fuli, I know you'll never forgive me
But I just want to tell you...
That... I'm sorry...
