A/N: For the P100 challenge 285: Frustrated. Part of my Dreams Of Yesterday drabble series and continues from The Day Just Got Worse. Thanks go to Fred for looking it over for me.


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.

Poor James goes through the wringer in this verse doesn't he?

Great drabble. I wasn't expecting that twist.

Very nice and utterly eerie.
And bless James for cuddling the cub; poor little feller!

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!

*Sighing in relief that the clamp stopped the creature from eating James*

*Shudders that another creature might still be out there*

Very chilling!
