there’d been a strange feeling pulling at them since they had awoken at the base of that tree. well, strange wasn’t perhaps the best descriptor: this feeling was all pitou had known in their recent memory, after all. only their name remained, and the knowledge that they bled a navy blue, different from the humans they had hunted for some time.
the feeling was akin to hunger, but it hadn’t been sated, no matter how much they ate. so they left to wander, able to cover miles with ease. that was it, they thought. they were looking for something.
they stopped to converse with humans, on occasion. that scratched an itch they couldn’t quite name, even though they were inferior species, delicate and prone to breaking. they were fun to play with. pitou made a name for themselves in this particular city, rumors swirling of the strange cat-like creature that walked on two legs and enjoyed toying with its victims.
even this didn’t fill the void. now pitou was given to quiet contemplation, perched atop the highest building they could find, legs swinging aimlessly in the darkness below them. they pushed their en out, enclosing the city, feeling the life forces of its citizens.
they knew sorrow. they knew it well. but this strange wracking of their chest that they got when they felt these lowly humans, all living and breathing as one within their ecosystem of concrete towers and metal monsters... they couldn’t explain it.
and then they found it-- a signature, an aura just like theirs. and pitou knew that that same person had felt theirs as well.
they pushed themselves off the edge of the roof, falling a solid forty stories and landing on all fours, road crunching beneath their paws.
