escape Kovo's mouth, my dad had saved me. 'Dont you set foot near by daughter, you piece of...' he turned to look at me and it was my dad. 'Are you ok Kiara?' I looked at his face, and memories came flooding back, I shook my head, he looked at me a second longer and then at Kovo 'Kiara, come with me, Kovo, leave' I didn't argue, this was what Kovo wanted after all, I nodded my head and followed Simba to Pride Rock. We walked in silence as we walked up the path. 'I'm sorry daddy!' I said through tears as we entered the cave, I looked around and everyone was there apart from one person, mum. 'Where's mum?' I asked him as all eyes were on me, 'Nala went looking for you the morning after you left and she went into the elephant grave yard, I got there to late, the hyenas had killed her' I fell to the ground, pain was going through my body and grief over whelmed me. 'Kiara, is that you?' Simba nodded at the lioness and I remembered her from my child hood, 'Vitani?' I asked, how could this be happening, she was a outsider, what was she doing in the pridelands?  l looked up at my dad for the answer and he just said 'I will explain later, you need to rest now Kiara, Rafiki will heal you' I walked over to the shadows at the back of the cave and fell asleep.

*Kovo*

I walked around in circles, thinking of what to do, 'this is what you wanted Kovo, so just let it be, she will be fine, you broke your promise but it was for the better' I was speaking to myself 'great now I'm going mad' I sat down and let out a heavy sigh, I had to go back to the Outsiders. I walked for what felt like hours when I noticed the grass had died and the soil under foot was hardened. I put my head up as I noticed voices, I made myself look as confident as possible as I approched. 'Kovo?' I heard voices ask one another, a male lion with an impressive mane made his way over to me, a little taller then me so I had to look up into his eyes and I suddenly felt intimidated. 'Kovo, I have heard a lot about you, welcome.' His breath stank of meat, he had recently fed. 'I am Kovo, rightful price to the outsiders and I have came to reclaim my place on the throne' I tried to show my teeth but thought it pointless, he was mocking me. 'Oh Kovo, I see, so after you run away with a princess from the pridelands and after you killed your brother and mum and made your sister run away from here you want your place back!' he laughed sarcasticly and I looked to the ground and noticed his claws, one was missing from his right foot, I looked up at him eyes squinted, trying to think were I knew him from 'Soko?' I asked, he laughed properly this time, 'took you long enough!' he batted me around the head and smiled. Soko was one of Nuka's best friends and often helped babysit me when I was little.

*Kiara*

I woke up with cold paste around my thigh, Rafiki had come and gone. I noticed Vitani just staring at me. 'I cant believe it's really you, can you please tell me where Kovo is?' she looked genually worried. 'Kovo is out there somewhere, I honestly don't know Vitani, I am sorry, we lived together for a couple of years in a horrible pride, we escaped and I got raped, Simba came and saved me but he was banished.' I tried to say it as quickly as possible, trying not to remember the horrible moment. 'Why are you here?' I asked, the question dying to be asked. 'You need to ask Simba.' I walked away towards Simba. I saw him look behind his shoulder and sigh, knowing what questions were going to be asked. 'Simba, Dad' It felt some what relieving to say Dad again, I hadn't called him that for years. 'Why is Vitani here?' 'She's the Queen now Kiara' I wasn't exspecting this and was speechless, my mind coming up with all thoughts, anything but that, surely he wasn't mating with her. 'So you two, your mating? I couldn't think of anything to ask other than this. His eyes widened and I am sure he actually chuckled 'No, no, nothing like that, no one could replace Nala, your mum, I loved her Kiara, still do. She was there the day Nala died, she fought hard to make sure at least I got out of there alive, I told her to come back with me and she did, proving herself a very good Queen in the process, if you were here things would of been different, you would of been Queen' I looked down at the floor, spotting a Rhino bug scuttiling across my paw. 'No I would'nt mum would be Queen, she would still be alive if I didn't run off' I turned and walked away but he grabbed my tail to stop me, I looked back, 'Kiara, come here' I obeyed and sat next to him. He placed his head on top of mine and I felt a tear escape my eye. 'Kiara, you are my daughter and I love you no matter what you do! I ran away once before to escape my title, Nala came looking for me then, I understand why you ran away, people do funny things for love, dangourous things sometimes, but Nala didn't have to come running after you and the hyenas just pounced, they would of on anyone, they were hungry, it's not your fault' I nodded and let the tears flow, he nudged his head deeper into mine and licked my cheek. I looked up at him and he was fighting back tears of his own, we looked out onto the kingdom, watching the sunset, like the good days before this whole mess happened.

*Kovo*

'Soko, why didn't you challenge me?' I asked as he led me to his lair. 'Your Kovo, rightful King to this place, I've just been stepping in I guess, if you want it back I completely understand' he looked at me in my eyes already knowing the answer 'I don't want this place Soko, keep it!' I laughed and was that he was relieved, he wanted the title of King more than me. 'So heard you were hanging about with those sleeze balls over by the shadows?' He chucked a lump of meat over to me. 'Yeah we were, then me and Kiara just ran and she went back to her home, she deserves to be at the Pridelands' I chewed the meat absent mindly as I wondered about Kiara and what she was doing at this very point in time, I missed her more than anything but this was my home now I guess. ' Ahh Kiara, the famous temptress who Kovo aloped with, yeah she deserves to be at the Pridelands if shes a bitch like the rest of them' I looked up from my meat, eyes widened. 'What did you just call her?' I asked, I knew perfectly well what he said, I just wanted to make sure he knew what he was saying and if he was smart enough to apologise. 'Woah calm down Kovy Wovy, you always were your mummies golden boy you know, always the one with the special treatment, Nuka was fighting for attention when you arrived, when that little bitch Vitani left to go to the Pridelands, I thought that was it with you lot, Nuka dead and all. Then I heard that Kiara, Simba's little golden girl was the one you left with, I was ecstatic when I saw her wondering alone, thats when I saw Liko and I just couldnt resist!' A smile appeared on his face, my eyes widened even more, 'monster' I spat. I was telling my self not to rip out his throat and kill him where he sat. 'He told me if I knew where he could find some prey, I told him know but that I did see a pretty little lioness all on his own, he was gone in two seconds flat' I pounced on him, taking him by surprise, my full weight pinning him down, I lowered my face so I was just inches away. He easily pushed me off and pinned me to the rock, my legs weren't touching the floor. 'Mummies little golden boy cant even fufill his destiny before some little spoilt brat comes along and ruins it' he bit at my ear, causing me to cry out with pain, he whispered in the blooded ear 'ever wonder why Nuka was allowed to babysit you with my help, I am your brother' he let me drop to the floor and pain shot through my body, 'now run Kovo, go to your presious little Kiara or die Kovo!' he hissed, I stumbled up and ran out of there as fast as I could, my breathe rasping, making my lungs burn.

*Kiara*

I was eating the only decent meal I had had for as long as I could remember when Vitani walked over, 'If you want to be Queen, I have no right to stand in your way' she bowed her head. 'Vitani, look at me, I am in no state to become Queen, I haven't been here in years and you saved my Dad, please stay Queen, if I want to become Queen I will let you know, now eat.' I pushed a piece of zebra leg her way. 'Thanks Kiara' she said inbetween chewing, the same Vitani I knew the first time I knew Kovo. 'I told you to leave!' I heard Dad shout, me and Vitani looked at each other and ran towards the shouting. 'Look Simba, you accepted Vitani in here for a pathetic reason no doubt, I looked after your daughter for years, not letting no one harm a single hair on her head!' I stopped in my tracks as I saw him, Kovo. 'Kiara...' his voice was suddenly soft again as he looked at me and I couldn't help feeling a little bit sad inside. 'Vitani saved my life Kovo, and you left her and she got raped!' He pounced on him, pinning him to the floor, Vitani ran over, 'Simba, calm down, your daughter is watching and I dont think the whole pride is an audiance you want' Vitani was a great nagotiator I would award her that. Dad had one last dig at Kovo 'you will never belong here' and got off him, I followed, hearing a faint 'Kiara' on my way in.

*Kovo*

'Kiara' I whispered, my one last hope at gaining her back. I watched her walk away. 'Bitch!' I shouted and I dreaded it the moment it spilled out of my mouth. She turned around and stared at me. 'What did
