Why did you forgive me? ( Mandela Catalogue )

Part 2 - " Because you are my friend. "

Hello again. Trigger Warning. Mental anguish. Mention of a murrder. Detailed bloody transformation.

Mark was locked in his own room it's been a day. Thankfully he had water in his room. He had time to piece things together. One, Cesar is an alternate. Two, he was in a particular bad spot as his stomach started to rumble. And three, no one will come to save him. Only God can. He was praying and reading the bible the entire time as Cesar tried to get into his room.

" Thy shall not know other gods. As i am the only one. " He read as a voice came out of the other room. " Come on Mark~ I don't have much time! Get the hell out! " It sounded a bit desperate at the end. He chuckled and than punched a hand throw the door. Mark's hart stopped.

" G-Get the hell away! " He said watching in horror as AltCesar walked into the room. And after that he went in for a swing to kill Mark, while Mark reached out for his gun. But than... Cesar stopped. Mark looked up at the now struggling Cesar and he didn't know what to think of that. But after a moment Cesar got his hand away looking at it. " N-No... Not fucking now... " Cesar backed away but he injured his own hand on one of his sharp claws. Blood on it now being spilled. Mark looked in horror as AltCesar shreeked in pain.

Warning. This is where the detail kicks in.

Cesar's bones started to move inside of his body. Every crack being heard by Mark. His boned breaking and healing again. Skin pealing off revealing the normal skin color of Cesar's. AltCesar scraping with his claws onto his face leaving wounds that healed as fast as they appeared but still leaving blood bechind. Cesar's hands twisting and changing. Claws falling off and disintegrating. Some coming out of the pitch black skin as Cesar screams in pain. His scream changing between his voice and the shreek of the being that he now was. And after just few second The major figure of the old Cesar remained. As he had bloodied hands and was in the biggest pain he ever was.

Mark watched in horror as he saw what happened to his friend. Cesar now passed out before Mark seemed to twitch a bit. Mark trying to back up more but soon hitting his cupboard. Mark will have nightmares after this. Or write a book who knows. But after Cesar wasn't giving out any singnals that he was even alive Mark just thugged him with his gun. That woke up Cesar as he unnatural was now sitting there.

" W-What? Am I not... " He than took the hand off his face now seeing Mark with a gun pointed at him. " B-Back off Alternate! " " What? What do you mean Mark! I thought I was dead! " Cesar said in a distressed voice. " Like hell I'll believe you! You tried to kill me! " He said with an angry voice as Cesar looked shocked. " W-What? " Cesar's expression told everything to Mark. He lowered his gun and said. " Cesar... You are an alternate. " Cesar's hart sank. Why? Why did that even happen? How did that happen? " I... I am what? " " Cesar don't freak ou- " " And i tired to kill you..? " Mark went silent before saying. " Yes... "

Cesar looked at his own hands and freezes. That's blood alright. " ... " Mark concerned walked over to him but just to be sure had gun prepared. " Cesar please calm down. " Cesar than gave out a crazy chuckle. Mark backed up again. " I-I am a monster Mark. Why are you even trying to fucking help? " Mark looked straight into Cesar's eyes and said. " Because you are my friend. " Cesar teared up and went in for a hug. Mark hugged back but still had his guard up so if Mark was gonna die Cesar would to. But Cesar didn't do anything to hurt Mark.

" Cesar... Your mother... She's... " " Dead... Yes i know... " He said with tears in his eyes. Mark's eyes widened as he looked at Cesar. " Wait... Does that mean..? " Cesar smiled and said. " When i came back from work my mom was already dead and the alternate tried to take her place. But than they noticed me and went after me instead... Mark... Do you think that thing... " Cesar choked out as Mark sighed and said. " Cesar. Let's not talk about it for now. How about you just stay here for a while? " Mark asked knowing he will need to be on guard this whole time. " S-Sure... "

Cesar stood up and walked into the bathroom to wash his hands. Looking into the mirror he saw the alternate and freaked out punching the mirror. " Get the hell away! " He screamed as his hand was now bleeding on its own. Mark quickly got to the door. " Cesar are you alright there?! " Mark asked ready to shot Cesar in the head. " Y-Yeh! Just... Saw something! " He said trying to mask his discovery. He quickly washed his hands as Mark waited to inspect the damages that living with Cesar would bring him.

After Cesar left Mark walked in and saw his mirror broken. " ... I guess no mirrors in the house... " He said to himself seeing that Cesar cleaned the shards a little bit so that Mark wouldn't step in them. That put a small smile on Marks face.

The rest of the night was spent talking things out and putting the scenerio in place. So the AltCesar went like this. Cesar came back from his part time job to his mother. His mother was dead and an alternate was tampering with the body. After that Cesar tried to run but it got him, made him M.A.D. and than gave him a knife to slit his own throat. After that Alternate went over to call Mark over and Mark came to the house. Than the Alternate followed Mark home and than Cesar somehow became himself again.

" Wait... So does that mean i have alternate powers? " Asked Cesar now intrested in that aspect. " Maybe? We can test this out tomorrow ok? " Mark added and Cesar agreed. They both went to sleep... Mark on the couch and Cesar in a locked room so that it would be harder for him to escape if he turned again... Cesar gave consent to that.

So... If there is a part that is incomprehensible just tell me- because my keyboard decided it can write better than me and went out of my control at least five times while writing. Thank you for your read.
