'No Andrid, just no!' the booming voice rose over everyone's snores and the laughter from the cubs, echoing through out the walls of pride rock. Simba's. Andrid's markings on his eyes creased as he looked on with anger, 'If we were swaped I would let you.' He began to walk away when Simba stopped in front of him, blocking his exit, his freedom 'No you wouldn't, you wouldnt let me walk out on my pride for some female you have not even spoken to, you would not let me endanger the pride, you will never be king!' Andrid growled and barged passed Simba hearing a snarl in his voice as he said 'traitor'. 'I would let you, you had your life handed to you Simba, remember that, your dad was the mighty Mufassa, your best friend already chosen to be your mate, your king title just handed over, me I was born into this pride and what do I get nothing, I get heart ache, I get pounced on and bitten by new cubs, why because I am the cub sitter because you wont let me hunt, I get a traitor for a best friend, or who was my best friend, remember that Simba, remember tonight while I'm not here that I will be happy not being here with you and Nala!' 'Leave Nala out of this, you walk out of here now and you will never return, think about that' Andrid looked over the pride rock once more, at all the eyes watching him, his every movement and he left.

The grass between his paws was refreshing, like a nice cool drink from the watering hole. The sun blazing and there she was laying in the grass only a few steps in front of him, heavy breathing, she was sleeping. Her blue fur raising and dropping, too deeply, she wasn't sleeping, she had fainted. 'Keyola!' he ran to her, nudging her with his nose, no response. He tucked his head under her belly and pushed her onto his back, the weight almost like a feather, she was too light, she was weak thats why she wouldnt respond. 'Simba, help!' he shouted, running so fast his muscles hurt, his claws digging into the ground in anger and fustration. 'Andrid...' his voice broke when he saw Keyola on his back. 'I wont help you Andrid, she's not one of us!' Simbas turned his back to him, fighing back tears. 'You are not the great king I thought you were Simba!' Andrid calmly said and began to sprint to the watering hole, pushing Keyola back on to his back and then dropped her into the water, watching the blood from her scar bleeding and her breathing getting heavier.

He pushed her mouth down carefully with his paw and watched as she swallowed the water and opened her eyes, looking at his face he felt like the world had stopped and all he could do was stare at her and her at him. 'Andrid...' she tried stepping up but fell, he caught her ' I will always catch you Keyola, always.' He helped her as she stumbled onto the bank of the watering hole and they walked into the long grass, he layed there and she layed next to him, her body arching into his stomach and his head placed perfectly on her neck, they fell asleep, looking like one.

She awoke in the middle of the night, when the stars were shining their brightest and she ran back home, to the outlands, it would be better for them both she thought. He awoke to the sun shining and a smile on his face, only to quickly fade when she wasn't their with him. 'Keyola!' he roared, following her scent her  arrived at the outlands. He hesitated and walked in, he needed her to be with him, always. 'Pridelander!'  a lion who's eyes gleamed and his ribs poking out as he breathed. 'Andrid, what are you doing here?' she arrived through the crowd surronding Andrid. 'I needed to find you' hisses and  'pridelander' 'why him?' and 'fight' filled theair around them. 'You can't be here.' She looked down at her paws and then noticed his bigger paw landing on top of hers and his head bending down to look into her eyes, a smile crept along her face and she whispered, 'I need you too'. 'Aw isn't this sweet, who's it going to be Keyola, your mate or your family?' Vitani arrived and pushed her way into the gap between them. 'Him.' Keyolas voice merely a whisper yet managed to be the only thing Andrid could here. They ran, far away from the roars the outlanders had summoned and too the pridelands.

'I banished you Andrid, I'm sorry but no outlander can ever come into the pridelands, it will endager the whole pride, you know this!' Andrid looked behind Simba to Nala, for a comfort but her eyes would not meet his. 'But she wouldn't, shes not like the, and...' Andrid was cut off  ' and nothing, leave this place, now!' he roared, making his desision, the two lovers ran far away to a place full of long grass and a little stream.

'Andrid, I'm sorry for getting you into this mess, I shouldn't have even talked to you, I should have eaten something, I shouldn't of ...'  Keyola looked deep into his eyes ' I shouldn't of fell in love with you' her head dropped and looked into the little stream. 'Keyola, you should have talked to me, why? because I wouldn't be able to live without your voice. You should have eaten something but even if you werent lying there I would of come to seen you, you should of fell in love with be because I have fell in love with you, we both know it, we were meant for each other, we both know this, everyone knows it, maybe one day we will start a pride of our own, just you and me' Andrid's voice hightened as the thoughts rushed through his head and how happy they would be together. Keyola laughed, her eyes glistening and smiling her beautiful smile Andrid knew he couldn't live without.

'Our very own pride'

'Just you and me Keyola'

'I love you Andrid'

'I love you Keyola, outsider or not'
