Rhehan held the girl tightly in her embrace, grinning ear to ear. "Relax! He loves you too!" Rose calmed down a little and they both turned to look at the source of the sound. They could not spot anything on the road.
"Huh? I was sure I heard the growl!" Rhehan looked around in surprise.
"Yes! Even I heard it!" Rose frowned, coming out of Rhehan's embrace. They both looked around in confusion and suddenly they heard the slight movement of leaves. They both turned around abruptly and gaped wide-mouthed at the scene before them.
Around hundered animals were standing at the edge of the woods looking at them.
Rhehan grinned looking at them. "Oh My God! They are actually here! I can't believe this. Come Rose!" Rhehen held Rose's hand and walked towards them happily. As they grew closer, they could spot many more tiny animals too. Small cubs of hyenas, few wild cats and monkeys amongst huge elephants, chimpanzees, zebras, hyenas etc.
