Chapter Text
It thought It was going to die when It was cut off from It’s host.
Its mind was on Him when It found Itself drifting through the air and towards where He wished to keep It, the brief thought allowing Him to take control.
He set It down into the hard ground, and explained His plan.
It would be dormant, and would awaken when the next Doorway to be opened, because there was always another Doorway that would be opened, for mankind was not going to let such a wellspring of power go untamed.
He had a plan, and so It relaxed even as It felt the pain of the Doorway closing and It being stuck in the other side away from the rest of Them and Him.
It trusted Him, as the trust It placed in It’s creator was never misplaced.
He continued, telling It to wait for the next Doorway to open, and when it opened to find a Recruiter, someone that He deemed charismatic, yet with a strength that can be tamed, then have the Recruiter seek out Hosts, and change Its form into flesh like His, and find Her, and bring Her to Him.
“She will open more Doorways,” He whispered into Its ear as It lay, “For She is my Sister, and She had my power. And with Her, everything will be different."
And so when It awoke It began hunting, using the small creatures that Their former host called “rats” in It’s awakening spot to scout for a Recruiter and regain some bit of It’s former strength.
It stationed one of the rats next to a “road,” waiting for “automobiles” carrying lookalikes to Him, listening for His assessment on those passing by, always ready to take the Chosen to Itself and become Its Recruiter.
It waited for days as He scanned each automobile that passed, not a signal given that the “human” riding was supposed to be the Recruiter.
Automobile after automobile passed by as the “sun” made its loop in the sky.
It knew not to be curious about the sun, as it’s head had burned Their former host, so It only hunted at night when the sun could not touch It.
It continued to stare through the eyes of the rat, looking into every automobile until a larger one with loud “music” came barreling down the road.
It started, and felt a piece of Itself shift into place as It gazed through the eyes of the rat.
NOW. He commanded, and It acted.
It moved the rat into the “windshield” of the automobile, causing the “machine” to serve and come to a stop.
A “man” with “curly hair” came out of the automobile after a few minutes, and It watched as he tried to get the automobile to work pointlessly.
It knew that He would not let it work as it should.
It let one of It’s arms shoot out towards the man, grabbing him and pulling him into the area where It had awakened, and began to turn His Recruiter.
