Power pet (Chapter 5)
#5 of Power pet
Final chapter for now, really short.
*Roughly two hours and about one hundred and fifty miles later*
The drive was peaceful and I did not want it to end, but sadly it did. Instinct told me the human would want to keep me, so I jumped out the second his truck slowed down. Watching from the bushes made me smile as his face portrayed me as a monster of evolution. No, sadly no... I would use my powers to help, only for good, if only I had an ounce of ability. He left after a while, but I was still hidden, to avoid others finding me. Once the coast seemed clear, I rushed to clean myself with the water hose, designed for vehicles. God, where am I? There is nothing, but trees as far as I can see... The wind alone was like being inside a glacier. Being wet will kill me, oh god... I'm so freaking cold... I took two steps then was overwhelmed with shivering and tooth chattering. I damn near fell over with the breeze... Shaking dry doesn't fully work! You're still wet and shaking again becomes harder from the bitter cold. I want a towel, a warm fluffy towel or a robe! I want a home...
Food, hunger, sustenance, suffering... God I'm so hungry! I can smell the foods inside this gas station, so much delicious foods! Wait, the vent... The vent that is radiating that scent, it's warm! It produces a steady stream of lightly warmed air! Oh god... So fucking amazing... I practically crawled inside and the second I touched it and found it to not burn, I climbed inside and curled up, clutching myself. This is the soul thing that will keep me alive tonight! I am so happy they have a type of filtration system or... whatever this is... Someone should bottle or box or... I'm so happy... Rolling over to face the inside of the vent, I tried to sleep and managed to off and on. This is not a good place to be, someone will certainly find me! God... the image of that cougar, its haunting... I will never slay or "finish off" a power pet! None have been so evil as to quickly do away with me and I am not going to be one of those... Why do I keep fucking with myself? When will I ever get the chance to kill a power pet? A puppy or a kitten? At least I would get power... Maybe that is the secret... Why else would everyone want to kill me? The way to get stronger may have to do with killing your opponent... Do I need to develop a killing instinct? Oh god that hurts just thinking about it...
