your boots off?” Justin asked while lifting his right eyebrow.
    Travis patted Justin on the back, “don’t worry man she’s got it,” he said reassuringly.
    I walked away from both of them muttering curses under my breath and wishing them severe violence and a painful death.
    I found an incline I could actually get down without breaking my neck in the process. I climbed down with ease and looked in the direction of the animals and two men. I swear every time I look at that fucking lion it gets bigger.
    I walked forward silently and taking in slow deep breaths. What in the gods name do they think I can do? They’re the men around here, shouldn’t they be taking care of this? I rubbed the back of my neck muttering, “Man oh man” under my breath repeatedly.
    I m oved further to the left trying to keep behind the beasts back and out of sight. I just moved my left foot and brought it down. Yep you guessed it. Right on top of a goddamn stick and of course it had to make the loudest damn crack.
    The mountain lion whipped its head around into my direction. We both stayed still not moving staring straight into each other’s eyes. If I wasn’t scared shitless right now I would actually be able to enjoy the beauty of this magnificent beast. It had copper colored eyes, a beautiful gold coat, a white under belly, and white paws.
    I made the slightest hand movement trying to signal the guys to go ahead and move the horse and themselves out of harm’s way. I couldn’t look to see if they got the hint or not for I was afraid if I made the smallest movement the mountain lion would either charge me or turn on them and attack again.
    As large as this thing was I really think it was only playing with them. If it really meant to hurt them one swipe of its massive paw would have decapitated them or done a hell of a lot more damage than what was done.
    Right now all they had was deep scratches all over them. They really did look worse than they were. Good thing they are were animals they’ll heal it in about an hour or so.
    I took the chance to take my gaze off the lion to look to see if the guys and the horse where out of the way. Unfortunately, the lion turned its head in their direction at the same time I did. The lion hunched down on its hind legs ready to spring. I leaped forward and grabbed it by the tail.
    It let out a hiss growl and turned on me. “Run!” I screamed at the guys. I turned on my heels and took off running as fast as I could. I looked around me to see if there was an easier way out of this ridge. If I went back the same way I came it would take too long to climb and that damn cat was right on my heels.
    Up ahead I saw an incline that I didn’t have to literally climb up. I got another burst of energy now that I knew there was a way out. I pushed myself harder to move faster. I hit the incline at a dead run and almost lost my footing. The lion leaped over my head and landed right in front of me on top of the ledge. I dove underneath its belly sliding between its legs and rolled to my feet once I got past its hind legs. The lion followed my movements. Once I stood up fully, it whipped its head around and I took off again like a bullet out of a shotgun.
    I could feel the beat’s breath on my neck it was so close. I didn’t dare look back. I guess the mountain lion got tired of me running because one minute I’m running for my life and the next I’m flying through the air landing head first into a mud puddle.
    “Mother fuck that hurt!” I yelled to know one in particular.
    I stood up and assessed the damage. I made sure all ten toes and ten fingers were still intact. After all, I am barefooted. I moved my head in a circular pattern to make sure my neck was ok. Next, I reached my arms over my head and bent my back backwards slightly to make sure my spine was okay. I brought my hand down on top of my head and that’s when I felt it.
    I whipped around and screamed at the lion, “Oh hell no! You know how long
