this won't hurt a bit

The creature awoke and came back to himself quickly. The cat, from her shrouded perch, watched through slitted eyes as he made a fool of himself. It was like a mouse in a cage - running circles, growing more and more frantic every second it failed to find a door. It even did a little hind leg hop at one point - Oh this was too adorable. Silverback almost broke her cover with wicked chuckle of amusement. These wolves were so limited, it amazed her they had survived so long as to out last her kind. Ridiculous; That was the word.
But it was morbidly endearing. She enjoyed the display of desperation, and then finally, of defeat, as the wolf stood still in the middle of the cave. It was a testament to the cat's stealth that, without even really trying, she had managed to remain totally undetected whilst in a confined space with a frantic mutt. Soon enough though, his eyes became raised to the correct spot - perhaps having been in the middle of some pray to the heavens. He spotted her, but didn't seem to really get a good view in the darkness. He called to her for help.
A fluffy foreleg stepped down from the rock shelf, and then another, and another. A broad, spotted head, rosetted shoulders, and a long, lithe back all came into the view. Then came the little leap as she dropped to the tunnel floor. With regal grace, a feline form emerged from the shades and came to life in the narrow confides of the tunnel, silhouetted by what damp, grey daylight managed to shine through the opening. "Oh I'm afraid you won't be leaving any time soon." a silken, purring voice promised. "There is no escape from this tunnel - at least - not for a canine." Her eyes roved over him, ready to enjoy any more fear that might come to twist though features of his. What a lovely new play thing.
