Zira

I had just return back from my hunt and came up with of course nothing. If I continue to hunt nothing, soon Nuka and I will starve. Now I finally see why the hunting party will never hunt. I must talk to my husband Scar about this. We have no choice now but to leave Pride Rock.

The smell of smoke whip underneath my nose. Huh? I pause and gave the air another sniff. Straight ahead Pride Rock is on fire. My first thought was Nuka and Scar. Noo!!

I sprint off down the short path that led to Pride Rock. The entrance is blocked by high flames. I turn around and went to the back. Dark smoke is everywhere making it impossible to see.

"Nuka, Scar?" I call out.

I cough and my eyes began to water due to the smoke.

No...they can't be dead

They're here some where!

I panic and search some more even though I really can't see.

"Nuka, Scar!" I call again.

Another no reply. Before I was about to give up, I hear a voice call "Mother, mother!!"

Nuka?

My eyes widen as I smile with relief. My son is okay. I rush following his voice. I notice the smoke slowly disappear. Then that's when I found him standing with Nala and the other lionesses.

"Oh, come son!"

I open my arms and we hug tightly. I lick the top of his head repeatedly. Nuka laughs and try to escape.

"Mother, I'm too old for kisses in public!" He said.

"Well, your always going to be my baby Nuka. Where's your father?"

Nuka shrug. "I don't know. Some say they had last saw him with Simba. Nala, me, and the lionesses are waiting on them to see who won."

I lift a brow. "Simba?"

"Yeah, he's alive and back mother. He's going to claim the throne. I'm not future King anymore!"

"Not on my watch! Stay here, I'll be back."

How can this be?

Scar swear to me that the hyenas had killed Simba long ago

What is he doing still alive?

He's a threat!

I growl loudly and went to go find Simba. He's somewhere battling Scar I know. I must help Scar keep his crown. Simba is going to ruin every thing!

I walk up Pride Rock's rocky steps. The dark sky started to rumble. Single drops of rain had hit my nose. Rain? It hasn't rain here in months. The rain poured down hard on my fur. It hurt but felt good at the same time. The nice feeling of water washing the dirt and sweat off me.

"Raaaaaawwwwrrrr!!!"

My ears perk up. Who's powerful mighty roar is that? I quickly pick up my pace. At the ledge I see an orange large figure with a red mane. He's obviously claiming the throne saying...

"This is my kingdom..."

"All Pride Landers bow down to me..."

This must be Simba. Before I was about to run up and stop him, I see laying lifeless on the ground is Scar.

Noo...

I step slowly forward examining his thin body. It's covered in blood, teeth marks, claw marks, and some burnt areas from the fire.

"S-Scar..." I call.

No answer.

"No Scar, listen to me. You got to get up. Simba has taken the throne. This is trouble for us. Where will Nuka and I go? You can't leave us now!"

I nudge Scar with my nose. No life to be found. His mouth hung up. He's dead...

Tears start streaming down both of my cheeks as I squeeze my eyes tight. Scar left us too soon. It's all Simba's fault! If he was just dead and never came back, this will still be Scar and I's kingdom. Mufasa's spirit is probably dancing like crazy up there.

"Zira..." I deep voice call.

I open my eyes meeting them with Simba's ruby color ones. I snarl at him angrily and tried to hit him in the face with my right paw.

"Get away from me...you...you...YOU MURDERER!!" I yell.

Simba looked confused. "Murderer?"

"You killed Scar! Why would you do such a thing? He has a wife and son. You took that away from us. How dare you!"

"I didn't kill my uncle, Zira."

I furrow my brows. "What?"

"The hyenas and fire did."

"Oh, so blame it on the hyenas huh? The hyenas would never betray Scar. They were his close loyal friends. I can't believe the hyenas would do such a thing. You're a complete liar Simba!"

Simba step up close to me with a comfort voice. "I'm not lying Zira, come here."

I back away from him quickly. "Don't come near. You're a killer!"

Nala and the others walked up Pride Rock hearing the loud commotion. Nuka ran forward to my side then look down seeing his father's lifeless body.

"F-Father?"

That's when my heart has shattered. The look on Nuka's face right now sadden me. Nuka drop down on his belly sobbing. I hug him for comfort. I did not want Nuka to see his father like this. I guess I am too late...

"Simba killed him son." I told him.

Nuka growled at Simba. "Why? You couldn't just take the crown without killing him?"

Simba, who's looking very irritated now had rolled his eyes. "Really Zira? Now why would you tell your son that. I already told you, I did not kill Scar!"

Sarabi came forward with Nala close behind her.

"Simba, what's going on here?" She asks.

"Zira thinks I killed Scar. I told her like ten times that I did not. The hyenas and the fire took him away. Scar tried to escape but he couldn't. He was blocked out. I watched the whole things from above!"

Nala who's not having no type of feeling in this situation, "So what. There's no need to argue back and forth here. We know what truly happened Simba. Zira wasn't here so she can't assume what's going on. I'm sorry but Scar had gotten what he deserved. He let darkness control him. I still believe he even killed my brother Mheetu. It's Simba's reign now, get over it Zira!"

Nala end her last sentence growling at Zira. Zira roared with anger and threw her body out to charge at Nala, but Sarabi pushed her back.

"There will be no fighting!" Sarabi frowned.

"Why is everyone here being so tough all of a sudden now since Scar is dead? Last time I checked, Sarabi you were afraid." I said.

Sarafina of course always on cue to protect her best friend had stood between Sarabi and Nala. "And last time I checked it is time for you to go, Zira. Scar is gone and you need to do the same. Take your son with you!"

"Whoa, relax Sarafina. I'm the King here! That sounded pretty harsh..." Said Simba.

"I don't care. Zira has made my life here complete hell since she started living here, Simba. She always thought she was better than me because Scar had chosen her. Now since he's gone, what are you going to do Zira? Threatening me some more?? You have no more power!"

"THATS IT!!"

I roar and pounce on Sarafina. The two of us roll around a few times. We stop with Sarafina pinning me down on the ground. I claw at her face then she bite down my neck. I roar with pain. Simba and Nala rush over to separate us. Nala pull back her mother. Simba stood in front of me as a shield.

"I'm done with all of you Pride Landers. You're all traitors!" I say, walking over to Nuka. "Nuka, let's go."

"Go where mother? We have no other place to go." He said.

"I said, LETS GO!"

Nuka had jumped startled and quickly follow behind me. There's no point of staying in the Pride Lands anymore. Scar is now gone. The kingdom is now in Simba's paws. I have no more control. I'm alone with my son. How will we survive? I don't know. Let's just pray for the best on what's ahead for us.

"Zira, you don't have to go. You can stay here!" Simba shout.

I ignore him, continuing my walk down Pride Rock with Nuka now at my side.

I will soon be back Simba...

Back with revenge...

You will pay killing my Scar...

I will take back something that means most to you...

Once I figure out what that is...
