WARNING- DARK SCENES FOLLOW:


Flinching with pain, Simba stumbled back, Scar's face twisting into a smile.
With a victorious snarl, he took one more blow at his young nephew. 
Simba hit the ground with a yelp.
"Now this is way too easy." Scar sneered, watching Simba struggle to his paws.
Simba's pleading eyes gave Scar no pity. 
He wanted Mufasa's son dead.
Scar was seconds away from winning.
"It's almost as easy as killing your father." Scar said casually.
"What?!" horror flashed in Simba's brown eyes.
"Oops! The cat's out of the bag! It'll be our little secret..." Scar sneered.
Simba was furious!
All this time, Simba was sure that it had been his own fault.
Now he knew the truth!

But Scar had the upper ground and was poised for the killing blow.
"Goodnight sweet prince." he said softly.
Then he lunged.
But Simba had a different idea.
He quickly rolled on his back and kicked upwards.
His paws hit Scar's underbelly, sending his uncle flying over the rock!
He roared victoriously.

That was until he heard the terrified gasp and the sound of scrabbling claws.
He looked into Scar's wide green eyes.
"Help me Simba!" Scar cried.
Simba blinked.
"Please, help me!"
Simba snarled.
"Why should I?!"
Scar panicked, losing his grip.
"Are you no better than I? You're no murderer Simba. Please! I beg your forgiveness! You won, you're king!" Scar yelled, fear in his voice.
Simba sighed.
Scar had a point.

He helped his uncle onto the rock, victory in his heart, but rage in his eyes.

A smile spread across Scar's face as he struck Simba, grabbed him by the mane and flung him off the rock!
"Heeeeelp!" Simba screamed until he hit a tree and then the ground with a thud!
He did not move again.

"I won!" Scar cheered.
Flames neared Simba as one eye opened.
Horror filled his eyes as he leapt to his paws, and limped away as fast as he could.

But Scar still thought Simba was dead and broke into evil laughter.
He was so distracted that he didn't see the flames growing closer... and closer...
His laughs turned to screams and his terrible reign was over.

Thunder crashed overhead and Simba enjoys the pounding rain as the fire goes out.
Though the stench of Scar's burning body caused the young king to gag.
He sees Sarabi laying across the foot of the rock.
"No..." Simba whispers, remembering Mufasa's death.
He nuzzled Sarabi.
She lay still.
He licked her fur and the older lioness blinked.
"Simba..." she whispers.
Simba puffs out his chest, happy to be alive.
