Underneath the pride
Dark! Lion King family X Scar
Chapter 13 :
He was going to kill someone..
The dark-mane Lion Head wanted to hit his head with a wall. His head was killing him. But that unfortunately wasn't even his biggest concern.
Because
Where in the Lion’s pride was he?
His eyes narrowed as he tried to take his environment into view. This place was dark and unkept. His eyes glance down , bones placed near his feet.
He scoffed, Truly How Unruly.
“ How are you feeling~” A voice came from behind. It was grossly sweet, like a little lullaby as if her voice was trying to sway him.”..My Love..?”, she further stated – a lingerance of hesitation in her voice – when he didn't answer her.
His face quickly swirled towards her and his eyes met hers all while she froze in disarray.He examined her up and down and flickered his gaze to his surroundings.
He chuckled under a snarl, “ Since when did you hyenas get enough courage to speak to me so keenly?” He stated, smirking, feeling her face turning from pure hysteria to one of utter shock. He further added, narrowing his eyes, “I certainly never indulged your kind in that way.”
Her eyes widened as she characteristically screamed and called another's name. “YUSUK-” Her face was haggard like she was swallowing a bitter pill.
But he could care less, signing under his breath – He wished she would scream a little quieter. His face turned away from the Sow and he went forward.
Examining everything closely, trying to find a clue where he was. He tried to reply to everything under his scanning gaze as he gained consciousness.
What did he know ?
( One : he was somewhere unknown
Second : he was surrounded by utter idiots)
That's it...
His ears raised when he heard another figure approaching and his nose caught a smell of something that made his stomach twist. His eyes darted sharply to his back and he growled inward.
The Lion with the glimmering white fur was staring at him while he talked with the Sow. Both were giving him such looks that he felt the need to scoff.
“ What is a feign doing in a Sow’s presence?” He said before he chuckled at their eyes gapped wide. “ WHAT IN THe SAVANNAH-” the white fur Lion yelled, Turing to the Sow with eyes that clearly said ' This wasn't in my wildest dreams'
This one was even louder than the Sow.
How delightful
"Silence." , He growled and they did. Taking his claw and piercing it into the ground, he mocked.“ It isn't a surprise to see both your kinds swimming together harmoniously..” he said without a second thought.
Both of them kept quiet at his remark as if their mind was turning over the gears while the situation completely dawned upon them.
“Tell me where I am. ” He made the tone appear as if he was confirming his status to them. First they were loud and now suddenly this.
“ Fiki…she really did it this time…” the white haired Lion groaned.
“ That wench ! I told you it would've been better to deal with her profoundly but NO you just had to glamourize your so-called authority.” The Sow growled at the Lion.
“ Don't blame me Zira ! I thought she'd do it because of how much she despised Rafiki-”
“ I should've cut that throat before you even suggested that plan.” She growled.
“ You really don't want to go there-”
Great they argued like children too
He was getting tired of their antics. He noticed a big rock gently placed in front of him and he knew what he had to do. He used his claw and threw it right at the face of that Loud Lion.
“ Good, Now that I have your attention-.” The dark Mane Lion continued, a smile on his face yet he couldn't look more threatening. “ Tell me everything and do not even try to leave anything out.” His eyes glowed like a predator in the dark stalking its prey while his claws had a shadow hampered on them.
The Sow looked between the lines and took a riskful chance, “ Scar - Darling - you're the one who came here. You wanted to get rid of that infuriating brother and his family ! That's why you came and asked for my help ! We've been together since we were mere little cubs !”
Scar
( So that's his name )
“ I see.” He commented.
“ And you expect me to believe that I would ask you , A Hyena to help me ? Your kind that merely eats my leftovers.” He stated keeping his eyes on her and she met them head-on with a smile bright on her face.
“ Indeed my love without a doubt.”
“Hmmm.”
“ So that brother of mine, is he dead ?”
She shook her head , “ That bastard is still alive and has been keeping your position as the King !”
So his past sled hadn't dealt with an active competitor. How unsightly. The white haired Lion observed her and Scar staring at each other.
They were telepathically communicating their thoughts even if they didn't possess such a power. Scar’s face glimmered into a smile – one that was calculating and she knew in love.
Her.Taka.was.back
( She thought)
“ A throne and a kingdom.." he said while the Sow's expectant eyes stated at him.
He smirked under a yawn, "….too bothersome.”
His last words left her choking. She didn't even ask about her shock or her being caught off guard. “ I'll be leaving this place as soon as damn sets in. I'm sure that brother of mine you have informed me off will try to find me and it's tiresome and my past self would agree.”
“ So out of my sight you go."
He stated , turning his back on them.
Just then a gut wrenching scream was heard.
It made even him Almost flinch.
He heard them hear it too. Zira grunted and followed out with the white fur Lion by her side.
Scar was left alone.
But like they say 'Good things never last' ,so did his peace.. he heard a voice calling his “name” and came closer to him. He dodged it skillfully and clawed it.
Turning back, he saw a Lion.
He looked mere a few years older than him yet his face was pale and his eyes looked like he was exhausted and about to die.
Scar stared at the specimen.
“ Who are you ?”
The Lion looked like a whimpering mess when he responded. Scar knew exactly who he was at that moment.
Ha
His so called brother
“ I have no brother.” He responded in a scornful tone. The Lion looked like Scar had killed him. Taken his heart away or murdered his entire family line.
Then he felt another presence. He looked to the side and raised his brow.
He was not informed of another brother.
“ Uncle…?” The other Lion called, tears in his eyes. Scar felt his heart hurt at that moment. Why'd that voice sound familiar?
“ Simba what's going on why are you stopped-” another voice came from behind them and stopped when it layed eyes on him.
( A female Lioness )
His nose stiffened
( Or three )
Before he could even blink one of them jumped towards him. Unfortunately for him, he wasn't fast enough this time because for some tiresome reason his neck was throbbing unbearably.
She embraced him and then licked his face causing him to react in disgust. Then another jumped and then another.
In a matter of minutes he was surrounded.
He couldn't breathe
The stunned Lion “ his so-called brother” had regained his composure and was currently having their heads touched in a far too intimate way.
Scar couldn't remember himself but he remembered what was the difference between lovers and brothers. Right now he could see none.
“ You're suffocating me.” He grumbled.
All of them halted at that very moment and moved two steps back. He could finally have enough space to breathe.
“S-sorry Taka-I mean Scar ! Got me emotional for a minute.” The older chuckled nervously.
“ Mufasa, you're too heavy for him. Be Careful-” one of the Lioness stated.
“ I know Sarabi ! I said I was sorry-”
“ Honestly Father-” the other Lion injected.
“ Simba and Sarabi are right. Taka looks practically famished! Look, he's all bones ! And he's supposed to be a plum Lion !”
Plum and a Lion ?
Scar would love to roll his eyes at that.
Wait, Taka ? Wasn't his name Scar? He by mistake met his brother's eyes. His brother was looking at him with teary eyes that made him skim. “ Look I've no recollection of who you are and frankly I'd like for you to leave me alone.”
It felt as if the air was sucked out of that place. It got so uneasily quiet that made scar rethink his words.
One of the Lioness known as Sarabi spoke first , “ Taka - you should come back. Back with us to home.” Her tone was unremarkably dark at the end.
Before he could even think about rejecting Simba – his nephew spoke. “ Mother's right ! Uncle Scar came back ! We've missed you dearly !”
Scar barely managed to avoid his shiny big bright eyes.
He might be weak to sound words.
“ Sarabi's right. Come back Taka.That Sow has kept you here long enough.”
Sow, huh.
“ Unfortunately i-” Mufasa's face came close to him and he held his brother in tight grip while he commanded. “ Come back,” he ordered.
Scar was going to reject before Mufasa's face slightly bowed in front of him.“please little brother.” he added, making him sound like he was begging.
“ Fine…” scar sighted.
They all rejoined and walked alone with him towards their so-called “home.” Scar wasn't foolish enough to not notice the glance exchanged between them all. All while they smiled and recalled his embarrassing moments.
He had awakened just a few minutes prior and Scar already wished to drown back to an uncanny slumber…
He'll have a chat with that Sow later..
( Also could they keep their paws off of him. His neck hurts immensely )
TBC…
