Chapter 5- Sneak Peek

"What do you mean, run away"

"Someone saw us, I said run!"

Without a second thought, Taka ran. He sprinted feeling the wind hitting against his mane. He sprinted past the herds of animals. He reached the water holes and he bolted through the lakes and streams. His mane was flying past him. His legs were getting lighter with each step. Taka didn't know why he was running. He didn't know where he was going. Where were the ancestors taking him?

As sacred as we he hearing his brother's tone, Taka was relieved. He wanted to feel like this all the time. He never knew he's find such pleasure in running away. Running away from the life that was supposed to keep him safe. Right now safety, was the last of his priorities. Euphoria. There wasn't anymore to say. Euphoria.

These were Taka's last thoughts as he felt his body being swallowed into this monster. The monster was cold. It took him where it wanted. He had no control over his body.

Was he in heaven? Was this it? If this was the end then at least he spent his last moments feeling happy. He never knew happiness was a true emotion until he started running. Was running the answer this whole time?

Meanwhile back at the Pride Lands

"Rafiya" Mtukufu shouted. Rafiya was a future member of the Lion Guard.

"Taka has killed the king" Rafiya replied.

"Yes he has. As of now I am the new king and you will address me as such."

"Sir, what will happen to the King Adahari?"

"What did I just say? I am the King now!" Mtukufu roared. Rafiya felt the grass stand up. Someone had to have heard.

"Yes King Mtukufu"

"You will speak of this to no one"

" Taka killed killed the former king"

"Shouldn't he be punished your Majesty"

"His position as head of the LIon Guard will be taken away from him. You will be leader of the Lion Guard effective immediately"

"I understand sir. How will we cover up your father's death?"

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it"

Three years later...

Taka's POV

It's been three years. I've been living in this mysterious jungle for the past three years. I fell into a waterfall and it carried me all the way to this jungle. I washed up on grass, and I've been living on crocodiles and monkeys. They test better than zebra. Right now I'm on my way to the Pride Lands. I will return and get revenge on my brother.
