Title: No Need For Advertisement
Author: knitekat
Word Count: 100
Characters: James Lester, OWC
Rating: 12
Disclaimer: Primeval belongs to Impossible Pictures. Certainly not me. Writing for fun and will replace.
A/N: For the P100 challenge 283: For Sale. Part of my Dreams Of Yesterday drabble series and continues from Friend Or Foe. Thanks go to Fred for the beta, cheers m'dear


James swallowed and knew he had little time to make his plans before the creature found them. He knew he could not – would not – be able to escape, as his limbs shook and refused to support his weight.

However, the cub might still survive the encounter. James reached out and pushed the cub towards cover, hoping the animal would remember his training and freeze.

James wondered if he could make himself more attractive to any predator before the realisation hit that he was covered in blood. He doubted he needed a bigger advertisement that he was available as a meal.

Eeek! Waaaah!

Sorry, the prompt made me do it. I'm sure James will be OK, if not 100% healthy, prompts willing

Oh, *meep*!
These are getting scarier and scarier.
Protective cub, protective Lester. Lovely.

Sorry, but it was the prompt.

*nods* The cub and Lester are both protective of each other.

Glad you liked it and thanks for reading.

Eeek! But is it definitely a monster or is there still a tiny, tiny, miniscule chance it might be Abby or some veggiesaurus? Very tense!

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-10-05 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Monster bad, veggiesaurus better, Abby best ;) I think what it turns out to be depends on the prompt *eyes next week's prompt worriedly* ;)

Glad you liked it and thanks for reading.

Wonderful suspense!

Thanks, glad you liked the suspense although James doesn't ;)

Terrificly tense!

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-10-05 08:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Glad you thought so and thanks for reading.

Sorry ;)

Thanks for reading.

Argh, we still don't know who/what it is! But yay for protective papa Lester!

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-10-05 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Sorry, but no we don't yet. Lester has to be, he's attached to the little cub.

Thanks for reading.

Meep for brave Lester!

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-10-05 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Lester is hoping it isn't going to be meep, but he still has to be prepared for it.

Thanks for looking at it for me and for reading.

Eek! That last line really packs a punch!

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-10-06 03:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Sorry, James is being a realist. Glad you liked the last line ;)

Thanks for reading.

[identity profile] dreamer-98.livejournal.com 2012-10-06 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
Yikes! That's the kind of sign nobody wants.

Great use of the prompt.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-10-06 03:12 pm (UTC)(link)
*nods* James would really prefe not to have that sign.

Glad you liked it and thanks for reading.

[identity profile] lsellersfic.livejournal.com 2012-10-06 11:04 am (UTC)(link)
Meep! I do hope he's mistaken and it's the cavalry, not a predator!

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-10-06 03:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Sorry for the meep. James, for once, agrees with you and hopes that he is wrong ;)

Thanks for reading.

[identity profile] stealingpennies.livejournal.com 2012-10-08 01:25 pm (UTC)(link)

I'm reading these all out of order - which is clearly very wrong! But do love the way you've incorporated the prompt.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-10-08 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Mmm, that possibly doesn't matter as most aren't in order (except the last few).

Glad you liked the drabble, it took a while to think it up.

Thanks for reading.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-10-08 07:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Sorry, but I blame the prompt ;)

Thanks for reading.

Ooh, eek! Great use of the prompt!

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-10-17 07:49 pm (UTC)(link)
James' thoughts are similar ;)

Good to know it worked and thanks for reading.
