Title: Stalking Prey
Author: badly_knitted 
Characters: Team Torchwood and a Mystery Monster.
Rating: G
Written For: Challenge 414: Stalk at tw100.
Spoilers: Nada.
Summary: Something is stalking the team.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.





It lurks in the shadows of the Hub, hidden from sight under convenient pieces of furniture, watching the humans going about their work, oblivious to its presence.


It moves, slowly and stealthily, slipping from one hiding place to the next, as it continues to stalk its unwary prey, waiting for one to drift close enough for it to strike.


It is patient, as it must be; not all of those present meet its requirements, so it must wait until one suited to its purpose comes within reach.


Now!


Its attack draws a cry!


“Damn it! Dizzy untied my shoelaces again!”



The End

Heeee!!! :D That's so cute!

Some people just shouldn't leave their shoelaces trailing. How can anyone expect a creature at shoe level to resist such a temptation? ;)

Thank you!

I think any creature with the average eye level of a kitten or puppy would have a hard time fighting the urge, lol! So, yep, whatever Dizzy is can't very well be blamed for that, hehe.

Very welcome!

It's a Fluff, like Nosy. In fact it's Nosy's first offspring - think snake-ish body, but very furry with a pony-ish head and no ears, and big, round eyes. Dizzy is purple and black, usually, but they can change colour at will. They're very curious, playful, and intelligent.

LOL!

Like any small child, Dizzy finds fun in the simple things.

Thank you!
