Huwezi:The Return of Zira

Some people say that you must always have your back against the wall to avoid an attack from behind...and I've been doing this,but nobody has betrayed me...and i'm happy about that.

I was watching the sunset with my parents,as Nazir ended up moving out to start his own pride...not like dad even cared.I was approaching my 7th month as leader of the lion guard and I was a teenager right now,which let me have more freedoms than when i was a kid,believe it or not.

Mom...i miss nazir. I said.

So do we,sweetheart,but we need to accept that he went to start his own pride..he was bound to do it anyway and he didn't want anything to do with ruling,he thought that would be a better responsibility for you than him. my mother,fuli,explained.

Just then,Mkali came flying over.

Anya,Anya! Mkali shrieked.

What's wrong? I said

Zebras are being attacked by a lioness! He said and my eyes widened.

Grab the rest of the guard!I'll meet you there! I said,then sprinted off to confront this threat.

Later,I arrived to see 4 dead zebra and 10 injured ones with a dead zebra beeing eaten by a lioness with a odd shaped head and a grey stripe running down.she also had a notch on her left ear and her right ear was completely off.

Hey!Stop attacking the herd. I said,then went dead silent when the lioness looked at me...i've heard of her from stories told around the pride...that zira,the mother of kovu,was scar's most loyal follower and continued to serve him even when the corrupt king died.

Z-Zira? I gasped,But you're-

DEAD? Zira yelled,Your family really thought they could get rid of me,little girl!?

Just then,Nguvu came charging at Zira,but crashed into a tree,which caused the tree to fall on him.

NGUVU! I screamed,then saw Mkali be taken down by a rock Zira threw,then Zira pinned Aina down and knocked her out.Trotzen then came up,but was thrown into a boulder,knocking him out as well.

I attacked Zira,but was quickly overwhelmed as blood came down my fur and Zira was choking me on the floor.

You will tell Kiara that she will have to KILL ME before i'm gone...not throw me into the river! She said,then continued to choke me until i was nearly knocked out,but then ran off.I bolted up,coughing several times and taking a bunch of breaths before looking around at the carnage,,,and going to get my battered guard to help.
