James held his breath, his eyes wide as the creature slunk towards him. His attention riveted on it, he almost yelped when something cold pressed against him before realising it couldn't be the predator.

James cuddled the trembling cub close and watched the predator pause and scuff the ground. He couldn't understand why it hadn't attacked until he noticed the control clamp blinking dully on its head.

He sighed in relief before tensing again as the future predator let out a scream of pure frustration. The clamp wouldn't keep him alive if another predator decided to investigate the creature's calls.

Phew! They need to get out of there pronto! Ooh, but what are those things doing there and who has put a limiter on them? The plot thickens!

Definitely. James would love to, but he can't really move at the moment. Hee, that would be telling and probably depends on the next prompt(s)

Thanks for reading.
