Chapter 609 - Climax 22...

James took deep breaths as he suddenly heard a loud growl from behind him. ''Oh Lord. Help me please." He immediately turned around and saw the huge lion approaching him slowly. Before he could even react or retrace his steps the lion pounced on him, his mouth wide open ready to rip James apart.

"Woahh!!" James shouted out loud, throwing away the meat loaf from his hand and he immediately jumped to the other side, falling on the ground with much force. He quickly got up on his feet as the lion was once again approaching him with much anger. Once again the gigantic angry beast pounced on him, its mouth wide open showing its sharp teeth. James quickly held out his gun in front of him, placing it in between its jaw. He applied all his power, preventing the Lion from closing its mouth. 

"Arghhhhh!" The boy shouted as he applied his entire force and could now feel his body give up as the seconds passed. The lion was way too stronger for him to hold onto for much longer time. 

Suddenly somebody started to throw stones from behind them, hitting the lion's legs and back.

"Hey you! Leave my boy!" Elizabeth spoke in anger as she picked up another large stone throwing it at the lion this time with much force. She was about to throw another stone when the lion's attention got diverted and it turned to look at Elizabeth. The lady had poked her arm inside the cage from in betwen the bars and immediately threw another stone right on the lion's face making it growl in anger. As soon as the lion turned around itself, James quickly got up and ran towards one corner of the bar heaving a sigh of relief.

The lion's loud roar had garnered much attention from the other men who then quickly rushed towards the second cage.

A soon as the men rushed towards the cage they were instantly shot dead from behind. Lillian who had been hiding at the edge of the cage waiting for some gaurds to come, shot them down from her spot, not giving them a chance to react or to reach Elizabeth. Soon, James was climbing the bar of the cage and he jumped out of it safely, heaving a sigh of relief. Elizabeth quickly retraced her hand out of the cage and took a few steps back, relieved that James was safe. The lion then turned to look at James and growled in anger, seeing that the man had fled. Hearing his growl the other lions too growled in anger, banging their heads and hands on the cage.

The three of them got startled hearing the loud roars from all six lions and they looked at each other helplessly. Such a loud ruckus was enough to catch attention of all the men present all across the island. A few more men came running towards the three of them firing bullets on them. They quickly hid themselves at the edge of the cage, making the lions even more angry at the loud sound of firing bullets. 

Soon the men reached near the edge of the cage and James quickly rose in the air giving them all a flying kick on their faces. A few of them fell on the ground, while Elizabth quickly took out a knife from her wedding dress, swiping it skillfully across their necks. Lilllian on the other hand shot dead a few more men with her gun. As the army of three walked a little ahead towards the fourth cage, the lions roared in revolt. As soon as more men approached them they were beaten black and blue by James and some were shot dead by the two ladies. Now, within a few more minutes, around fifty men were lying down dead on the ground with blood oozing out from their bodies at a rapid speed. 

A few seconds passed and no man came to attack them and they noticed that the path to the building was no entirely clear now. But soon the sharp smell of the blood was spread all over in the air and the lions roared even more loudly banging the cage violently. Their was a loud ruckus created and the three of them looked at each other in confusion.

"OH dear! They will make everybody in the building super alert. If more men come here, we are dead." Lillian looked at the roaring lions with worried eyes. The stench of the blood was only increasing in the air and they knew they were soon in major trouble.

The heavy metallic bars of the cage could now seen be falling weak and three of them looked at the giving up bars in fear. 

"If we run to that empty road leading to the building, do you think the lions will follow us?" James looked at the two ladies who were standing in fear.

"Not only they will follow us easily and rip us apart but we will also be putting the lives of rest of our family in danger this way." Lillian pursed her lips trying to calm down, as the three of them stood at the farthest possible point away from the six cages. They knew the loud ruckus must already be catching too many people's attention now!

But, suddenly to their surprise the six lions fell completely silent and they roamed around round and round in the cage as if tremendousely scared. They were now roaming impatiently and creating sudden low crying noises.

"Huh?" James blinked several times as if not believing his eyes. "They look so scared all of a sudden. What happened?" 

The two ladies too looked at the lions in surprise who were now getting more and more scared with every passing second. Just then they heard a loud growl from not far away distance which was way more angrier and thunderous than the combined roar of all the tamed lions.

"Now where the hell is that voice coming from?" James frowned hearing the most dangerous roar he had evered heard fom a lion.

"Whitey!!" Lillian and Rose shreiked in happiness as a giagntic male white colored imperial lion, the king of the entire west woods was now slowly walking towards them.

James looked at the gigantic animal, probably the largest lion he had ever heard of or seen even in the movies. He gaped at the huge white lion with an open mouth and turned to look at the two ladies in disapproval. "Seriously, just a majestic animal and you have named him whitey??"
