A/N: For the P100 challenge 259: No Pain, No Gain. Part of my Dreams Of Yesterday drabble series and follows on from Could Today Get Any Worse? Thanks go to the excellent Fred for looking at it for me.



James took a moment to realise he had reached the bottom of the cliff. He wavered as sickening waves of agony washed over him. All he wanted to do was rest but he resisted the need to collapse.

The cub's whimper broke through the fog clouding James' mind. He had already stood there too long; exposed and bleeding.

The perfect prey for any passing predator.

He had to find safety.

James swore as he jostled his arm, spikes of agony slamming into his brain. He bit his lip, tasting blood, and forced himself to continue moving, to ignore the pain.

eek! Poor Lester! Abby needs to come and rescue him (and the cub) ASAP!

*nods* I'm still being mean to him. Um, I'm sure Abby would, but for the slight matter of an unstable cliff and an angry pteranadon. It all depends on the prompts ;)

Thanks for reading.

*nods* Safely (more-or-less) at the bottom of the cliff. Cub wanted to be in the drabble ;) *ducks the flailing* and thanks for reading.

Ouch poor Lester. I think that looking after the cub definitely gave him the impetus to keep moving.

I'm being very mean to him. *nods* The cub and his boys at home. Thanks for reading.
