Outlands POV:

Zira had just found a cub. He looked very very similar to Scar, so she took him in. She named him Kovu and he would be the one to take over the Outlands / Pridelands.

"Mother mother!" Nuka came running in. " Nala just had a daughter named Kiara!"
"Ugh! I thought killing Kopa would be enough.. a daughter you say?" Zira asked.
"Yes mother."
Zira looked at Kovu. "Oh Kovu, one day when your big and strong.. you will be a king." Zira Smirked.
"Kovu will make Kiara fall in love with him! And then he'll join Simba's Pride then kill him!" Zira laughed.
~~~ Back in the Pridelands, 2 months later.

Kiara's POV

I woke up and ran to the peak of Pride rock. "Wow." I said. I started to run down Pride rock but my dad picked me up.

"Daddy! Put me down!" I giggled.
"Kiara, you have to be careful you could get hurt-"
"Or stepped on, or even lost. And if I see any strangers don't talk to them and come straight home. I know I know can I go now?" I whined.
My dads face turned to a frown for a second.  "Go ahead." He smiled

I ran as he yelled "Stay on the path!"

Why is he so protective? I'm only going to explore. Woah-
I rolled down a log into a patch where there was no grass. I bumped into a cub.
"Umph."
The cub jumped up and started growling at me. "Who are you?! Why are you out here you Pridelander?!"
I kept jumping, not letting him out of my sight.
"My father says to never turn my back on an outlander!"
"Do you always listen to your daddy? Are you a daddy's girl?" He laughed
"No!" I got embarrassed.
"I'm an Outlander, I don't need anyone I take care of myself!" He stood proud.
"Really? That's cool!" I said.
"I'm Kiara, what's your name?" I asked
"I'm Kovu."
"Wanna play?" I smiled
"Sure." He hesitated.
"Tag your it!" I said jumping. "Tag!" He stayed still
"What's the matter don't you know how to play tag?"
He lowered himself but when he jumped my dad came out of no where and grabbed me then carried me back to Pride rock. I saw my best friends Zuri and stiffing watching me.
"Kiara, that was an outlander! What were you thinking?!" He yelled at me.

"I just wanted to play dad.."
"Kiara! That is Zira's son! Zira is Scars mate! I've already had this conversation with someone else and it didn't end well!"
"I'm sorry." I said while I ran back to my mom.

He doesn't understand. I don't need him to be so protective over me..
