Mark was alone in his family home. The whole family went on a vacation without him as he himself requested to stay so that he can study more and stay in contact with Cesar. He silently stared at a book he already read three times over before he hears a phone ring. He got up and walked up to the end receiver. Picking up a strange call. Strange because no one calls that late.
" Hey, it's Cesar. I hope it's not too late. " Said a voice though the reciver. It sounded and intonated like Cesar so he didn't pay it much mind.
" No it's fine...don't worry. What's up, are you alright? " It was strange for Cesar to call so late. Mark was still in his raged clothes that he was in from today's day of being alive and all.
" Yeah...it's not me, it's my mom. She's knocked out cold, and I have no idea why. I'm on my way to the ER, but, could you do me a favor? " A favour? Siren it's not like it is going to kill him or anything. Cesar also sounds like he is tired. Might as well.
" Yeah, of course, what is it? "
" Uh, I just need you to come over and turn on the cameras we have set up. You know the ones that we installed after we were robbed? " Huh... Where was he going with this? Mark didn't pay this much mind from the strange tone he now heard. As if it was a bit of eagerness at the other end.
" Oh, yeah. Would you mind if I asked why? "
" Well, she screamed really loud right before I found her on the ground. I...I just-- " Clearly a bait. His eyes transfixed onto the wall as he needed to check something.
" Well, do you have your doors and windows locked? Like what the broadcast told us to do? " Cesar was a dumb ass but he wasn't that big of a dumbass. He would do these things straight away.
" Yeah, that's the weird part. Maybe she saw something...? I don't...I don't know. " Oh? Is that so now? Maybe she saw him. Would check out. Mark didn't trust Cesar and his fake sadness.
" Alright, I mean, it shouldn't be too bad. I'm just gonna switch them on and get out of there though. You know how I feel about your house. " He never liked Cesar's house. There was awalays something off about it. And he hated it.
" Yeah...that's fine. One last thing: try to get a good view of the back door. I don't think that's secure enough. " This is only making him more suspicious. But sure. Mark will play along for now. Just to humor whoever is on the other line.
" It's going to be a quick look. Okay...? "
" Thanks, I gotta go, I'm almost at the hospital. Thank you. " And with that Cesar hangs up. Mark silently puts the phone down as he made sure to prepare. He got some things to make sure his safety outside and left to get to Cesar's Place.
He awalays hated that place. Feeling watched from all sides as he felt like the family photos stared down at him. Awalays something outside the window. He may not be to expressive in reality but the more he thought about it the more it was strange that the sweet and awalays so expressive Cesar was now atoned down. He was expecting him to be panicking and have a hier pitched voice due to the Panick. Yey he was so calm. As if he did it. But no more thinking. Mark arrived at Cesar's house.
Mark parks the car Infront of Cesar's house. With that he silently got out of the car and locked it. Walking up to Cesar's front door he checked under the doormat and took out a key. A small sigh came out of him. With that he unlocked the front Door and stepped inside.
[Refer to the video above]
The sounds of silence were not present. Only a slight howl of the wind. Guess Cesar didn't close the windows fully. Or that's where the thing came in. Mark looked around and saw the kitchen window slightly opened. With that he closed it and than started to walk towards the security room. Standing Infront of it he unlocked it with another key. A small grimace on his face as he entered the room.
The room was small. More like a supply closet in schools. Only a few feet in, some food, emergency generator all that jazz. Soon enough he stepped closer to the computer that was in there. Slowly turning every camera each turning on painfully slow.
Finally being able to see through them he checked the door that Cesar asked him to check out. Nothing. Ok. With that he sighed and started to get everything into his own bag. But than he noticed something. Something has moved in the camera. His hart started to race slightly. Or that was what he was showing. Soon enough he got away from the room walking out before he heard something crash. His head turns towards the sound before walking towards it.
With that every step he took was silent. He checked the kitchen as he saw an open drawer and a missing knife. Huh... Now that he payed closer attention he saw some remnants of blood on the floor. He didn't like this at all. And with that he got out of the house and went towards his own car. Ugh... He hated this so much.
In the end Mark got back towards his own house, locked the door and went over to the kitchen to grab something to eat. Might as well am I right? Soon enough he heard a knock before unlocking of a door. Well... That was quick. He got a bit worried but than sighed and started to make a sandwich. He doesn't know why he isn't panicking right now. As if the thing that just broke in made even his imitations of feelings not work. So he ended making a sandwich as a giant distorted Cesar showed his ugly head. His face looked like it was ripped off and badly stitched back on Mark didn't even bat an eye.
The alternate was just waiting for some big panicked response. The fear he was going to feed of. But instead what he got is just a man eating a sandwich in a big quiet room. Mark started to feel the tension in the room as he says.
" Want a sandwich? " That made the alternate take a step back. Why wasn't he scared? Why wasn't he panicking?! The alternate than started to get closer as Mark still didn't react with fear or anything at that fact. It frustrated the alternate a lot. Yet than it started to whisper the truths if the world. That drives people mad. He will have his sweet vi-
" Cool. " Mark said ending the sandwich and just looking at the alternate now. The Alternate looked confused. Like very god damn confused. And so The alternate just continues to look at Mark confused as to what to do next.
And Mark just got out of the kitchen now going towards the living room to read. And so he did. The alternate watching him from the kitchen looking creepy as ever. Mark didn't even seem to notice it right now which frustrated the alternate. But in the end the two were just in the same house. Mark not paying attention to it at all... For the rest of the day...
