Her lithe shape pranced from stone to stone near the back of pride rock. The sun was setting, and Pride Rock left a large shadow. Her own shadow danced on the rugged surface of Pride Rock. She looked at her silhouette, muscled and tense. Claws on her right paws unsheathed and slashed across her would-be muzzle. She stared at her newly scarred shadow a moment longer and then continued to walk along the legendary stone's edge. As she walked by a loose stone, she kicked it with the closest paw and watched it rattle down the small incline. It landed, with a satisfying thud, at the bottom. She sat and looked at the shadows with her intense golden stare. Once satisfied that no one was there, she laid down with a paw over her nose and her tail curled around her.
All she wanted was to forget the day, forget everything, and start over. All she had ever wanted was to forget it all, rid herself of this white-hot rage that licked at her insides. She wanted to forget Taka, but first she wanted to kill him.
Simba had gotten to him before she could.
The rage remained.
