Primeval drabble: Determination

Title: Determination
Author: knitekat
Word Count: 100
Characters: James Lester
Rating: 12
Disclaimer: Primeval belongs to Impossible Pictures. Certainly not me. Writing for fun and will replace.
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.

Come on! You can do it, James.

James is certainly determined to try.

Thanks for reading.

Eek! *Holds breath*

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-04-22 05:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Hee. I'm being mean to him (again). Thanks for reading.

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

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-04-22 05:45 pm (UTC)(link)
*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.

I can really feel James determination here! (So I guess you picked the right title for the drabble, LOL!)

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-04-22 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Good to know it works. (The title grabbed me *g*). Glad you liked it and thanks for reading.

Lester entirely. He would never give up in any universe.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-04-22 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-04-22 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
*ouch, my ears* ;) I'm being mean to them both, but don't worry, the cub's fine. Thanks again for the beta and for reading.

*flailing* At least they're at the bottom of the cliff and Cub is reminding Dad to move it!


[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-04-23 05:30 pm (UTC)(link)
*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.

*nods* James needs a hug. Thanks for reading.

determination is Lester's middle name

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-04-23 05:33 pm (UTC)(link)
It definitely is. Lester's not giving up without a fight. Thanks for reading.

[identity profile] judithjohn.livejournal.com 2012-04-23 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
We know the cub is going to be perfectly safe don't we?

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-04-23 05:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Would I hurt the cub? James, on the other hand, *eg* Thanks for reading.

[identity profile] joshinator.livejournal.com 2012-04-23 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
Lester's the best!

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-04-23 05:37 pm (UTC)(link)
He is, Lester ftw. Thanks for reading.

He made the bottom! Thank god!! But he can't stop now. Come on, James!!!!

Ahem. *looks sheepish* I may have got carried away there.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-04-23 06:22 pm (UTC)(link)
James and the cub had to make it to the bottom. Don't worry, James won't give up.

Hee, fifi getting over excited? Never ;)

Thanks for reading.

[identity profile] talliw.livejournal.com 2012-04-23 07:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't give up. Abby and the cub need you.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-04-23 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't worry, James won't.

Thanks for reading.

[personal profile] samueljames 2012-04-30 09:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Ouch poor Lester. I think that looking after the cub definitely gave him the impetus to keep moving.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-04-30 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm being very mean to him. *nods* The cub and his boys at home. Thanks for reading.
