watched."

          "You aren't going out there alone again until we find out who he is and why he's here," Jay says protectively.

          "The thing is, he's bigger than Souran.  That's what scares me the most," I say, expressing my fear of our king Souran being concquered by a strange lion.  Especially if that lion is always staring at me.  It gives me a bad feeling. 

          "Even if he gets past Souran," says Jay always in tune to my thoughts (yeah he could read my thoughts)  hugging me and holding me tight,"He won't be able to get past me.  No one is going to touch you.  I promise."

          He walks me home watching every blade of grass and takes me to the top of pride rock.  "It's going to be warm tonight, I can feel it.  You can sleep, and I'll watch."

          "All night?! You are going to stay up all night watching for a lion that i'm begining to think I'm imagining?" I asked shocked.

          "You seem really freaked out, so i'll watch you and him.  Goodnight."

          "But...."

          "No.  Go to sleep."  He lays down and I lay down next to him.  I sleep soundly knowing that nothing will get to me if Jay is by my side.  He will always be there to protect me. 

 

 

Ch. 2

 

          I walk out to the waterhole 2 days later staying in plain view of pride rock.  Jay saw nothing that night.  There were no wierd sounds, no shadows, nothing.  More and more I think I imagined what I saw.  Maybe it's the heat.   Yeah, that's it the heat. 

         I decide to go for a swim.  I swim around in the water, and I suddenly feel like i'm being watched. I freeze and listen.  I hear nothing.  I don't hear anything, but my nervousness is getting worse.  I know someone's near.  So I run.  I get out of the water and run.  I run as fast as I can toward pride rock.  Then I hear it.  I hear not one lion, but many.  I look back and there's the lion. 

        Black as night and covered in scars, he's gaining ground on me.  He is followed by lionesses and two more lions.  They are huge.  The lionesses as big as our lions.  Their lions even bigger.  All ranging from dark brown to black, these lions are evil.  The look in their eyes is of killing, hate, and in the lions, lust.  They are after me, and my pride. 

        Seeing them run after me, I freak out.  I run faster and faster.  Then I see Jay.  He is running toward me with Souran right behind him.   I jump past Souran as he goes for their leader and Jay covers me as I run past. Then he goes after the other leading lion.  One other lion still free.  I run inside, get the lionesses and we break up into groups and attack.  

        It takes two of us lionesses to take down one of theirs, but there are more of us.  In the fighting I lose Jay.  I look around after taking down a lioness and I worry when I don't find him.  Then, there he is.  My heart skips a beat as I see him hit the ground and struggle to get up. 

        Everything goes quiet.  I don't hear anything.  No growling, no bashing, nothing.  All I hear and see his Jay.  I can actuall hear his labored breathing.  I plow through the battle, attacking anyone in my way.  He gets one arm up but is hit by a leaping lioness from the other pride and falls down again in pain.  I make my way to him, for what seems like an eternity.  I finally get there, only to see the lion ready to finish him off.  I leap.  I crash into the lion with everything I have and fight.

       My anger swells.  When we hit the ground, I am on top of him.  He can't move.  I just keep hitting him with the blows of my anger.  I let my anger flow through me as I keep attacking.  He manages to get up but I am still fighting.  Blow after blow, he backs up.  He blocks one, and that's enough for him to start attacking back. 

       We attack back and forth, my anger helping me slowly gain on him.  He looses his footing and lands on his back as my claws slash his face.  He gets up before I could get to him, blood all over his face.  His pain is a new flame for his fight.  He raises his paw and before I could move I feel a blow to my shoulder, then my head, then my face.  He then kicks me in the stomach and I fly in the air and hit Pride rock.  Everything goes black.

       I wake up to Drew.  Drew is a friend of the family.  A loner, Drew is a lion who used to be my friend.  I used to like him before he left.  When he left, I met Jay, and my love went to him.  Drew is a lighter color than when he was younger, a lot lighter than Jay, but I recognize him instantly. 

       "Drew," I breathed.  I was still in pain but that didn't stop me from hugging him.  "I've missed you."

       "I've missed you too.  Now lay down.  Are you okay?"

       "Yeah, I think so.  My shoulder's just sore," I answer.  Then the fight flashes through my mind.  "Jay!  Where is he?  Is he okay?" I say getting up.  I feel my heart sink as Drew avoids my eyes.  "Drew.  Where is he?" I wisper barely getting the words out as my throat gets tighter.

       "They took him.  Him and two lionesses.&nns.  Their lions even bigger.  All ranging from dark brown to black, these lions are evil.  The look in their eyes is of killing, hate, and in the lions, lust.  They are after me, and my pride. 

        Seeing them run after me, I freak out.  I run faster and faster.  Then I see Jay.  He is running toward me with Souran right behind him.   I jump past Souran as he goes for their leader and Jay covers me as I run past. Then he goes after the other leading lion.  One other lion still free.  I run inside, get the lionesses and we break up into groups and attack.

bsp; On was found dead a little ways away from here.  Dead.  Jay..... we didn't find, or the other lioness.  I'm sorry."

       I sit down trying to process this information, the bump on my head and the groggyness of just waking up making my head a little slow.  "I'm going after them.  I'm going to find Jay."

       Drew looks at me like I just said I was going to fly.  "You can't!  They will eat you alive!  Litterally!!!"

       I look Drew in the eyes.  "Jay said he would go as far as it took to get to me.   I'm going to go to him.  I won't sit here and take him for a loss until I find him.  (with some difficulty)->Dead or alive."

       "But you can't!  You just went through a fight Emethyst!  And you're hurt!" he says.

       "I'm a lot stronger than I was when I was younger," I say seriously. 

       Seeing that there's no stopping me,"Okay.  But I go with you.  I have learned how to take care of injuries, so if not for you, for Jay."

       I can't argue with that, so I decide it's okay.  We get ready to leave, many people trying to stop us, when there's a comotion at the front of pride rock.  Me and Drew go out to see what's going on, and we see
