Hello fellow readers, I want to thank all of your reviews. This was fun to write, that's why this is the last chapter. It may be shorter than the rest but I'll try to make up for it in the sequel. Which will be out very soon. So, without further ado here's the last chapter of Innocence.

Kiara comes down priderock and greets her mother and brothers. A small nuzzle caused Kiara to look to her side.

"What about me?"

Kiara chuckled before embracing the pale golden lion lovingly, Kopa smiled before returning the affection. Rafiki motions for Kiara to ascend Pride Rock with his staff.

"It is time."

Kiara starts up priderock but pauses to hug Rafiki. Then very majestically, she ascends through the rain. Through a hole in the clouds Kiara can see a patch of stars. One bright star shines out briefly as a farmilar voice echoes through her ears.

"Remember . . ."

Kiara's expression gains confidence and strength. Taking a deep breath Kiara roars. The pride roar in reply.

TLKTLKTLKTLK

The rain had drenched the fire and after waiting what felt like forever the true queen came down the side of Pride Rock. Where she greeted her and her brothers first with a head bump before giving Kopa who had joined her side moments ago a sweet, loving embrace. The peachy cream lioness smiled as the scene reminded of the time she and Simba took the throne. Watching her daughter take her place as queen was a dream come true. She proudly roared along with the pride. Everything is right, but sometimes happy endings don't last long and her name is Alyssa.

"You killed Akan!"

Nala sighed, so did Edina. Alyssa was so sweet, helpful when she came here with her sister. The young creamy beige lioness some how got caught up with Akan and soon the sweet, loving teen was this selfish, hateful lioness. Who boared her brother in law a daughter and a son.

"Now Alyssa...we don't know that for sure." Nala spoke up for her daughter.

Yes Akan did deserve to die and she had the thought to snatch his throat out. But during the time she and Simba had with their cubs, they tought them the right and wrong for killing. Kiara didn't kill Akan, unless Akan did something to provoke his death.

The younger lioness glared at the former queen. "Shut up you old wrench!"

Everyone gasped before growling at Alyssa so did Kiara.

"I don't know who you are but you have no right to speak to my mother like that!"

The creamy beige lioness rolled her brown eyes. "If you must know, I'm Queen Alyssa the mate of King Akan."

"You mean was!" snarled a brunt orange lioness her dark blue eyes blazing.

Alyssa growled at the slightly younger lioness as Tama snapped her jaws at her daughter, her brown eyes narrowed.

"Zuri! Hush, let Queen Kiara handle this."

Kiara was in shock, wasn't Akan with Zira? She shook her head as she over came it. "Well one, you're no longer queen. As I'm now the queen and I'll be picking my king. Two, I didn't kill my uncle."

Alyssa growled."I don't believe that crap!"

Kiara closed her eyes before reopening them. "Than I have to ask you to leave."

Alyssa's eyes widen, so did Nala's and everyone else.

"You can't do that!?"

Nala saw her daughter take a deep breath before replying. "I can and will if you plead your loyalty and stop this nonsense."

Nala looked from her daughter to the now also former queen. "Listen to her. You can't possibly raised little Nalini and Barton in the Outlands?"

Alyssa snarled at her. "I don't need your advice. You and your spawn can just rot like the demons you are..."

"Hey! That's uncalled for, Alyssa!" Edina growled.

Two more lionesses walked over to the assembled group. A pale beige lioness walked over where she was facing the slightly older lioness.

"Alyssa be reasonable. I seen the wounds, there's no way Kiara could of killed..."

Alyssa whipped her brown eyes eyes to the pale beige lioness. "How can you defined her!? Your father is dead because of her!"

The pale beige lioness shook her head. "I don't believe that. Those wounds look like a hyena attack."

Alyssa chuckled darkly before glaring at the younger female. "Do you really believe that, Amelia? The hyenas was your father's loyal subjects! They would never betray him like that!"

A teen light tanned lioness rolled her purplish eyes. "Alyssa...shut up and listen! You're pregnant! Do you want to risk the life of your unborn cub for something that can be delt with when the time comes. Hmmm?"

Nala saw the wheels turning in the young lioness' eyes before the creamy beige lioness snarled before bowing.

Kiara relaxed and smiled grateful at the two lionesses before turning to her uncle's mate. "I'm truly sorry about Akan."

Alyssa glared burning holes into the young queen before growling, everyone let out a sigh of relief as the creamy beige lioness turned and stalked away. Unknown to them that the now widow lioness was forming a cruel, dangerous revenge.
