Together forever [Mandela Catalogue Mark x Cesar

Shelter

A week after alternates come out

Mark's POV:

It's been a week since the prodcast about alternates. But I'm not gonna listen to it. I can fight them off. Most people are roaming the place fighting them anyways.

I roam around the place trying to find a shop or  a gas station that isn't packed. I find a small gas station and go and loot stuff from there. I had a big backpack so I fit a lot of stuff and food in there.

I filled my bag with a lot of food and medical supplies just in case. I mostly keep to myself but come on, if you see someone hurt you gotta help them. 

I go to my shelter. It's a pretty old house in literally no where. I don't think people know about it and if they do they will see my sign here.

"Who ever goes in and isn't Mark Heathcliff will die"

I even got myself a German shepherd to guard the place and sometimes come with me. I named the dog Surm, it meant Death in a deferent language (Estonian)

I gave Surm some food while I ate a sandwich. Good thing about this is that most places are abandoned so the food and stuff is free.

I found Surm lying in someone's yard. He was hurt. I took him with me and medicated his wounds. He wasn't a fan of me first but then we  became best friends when he realized I wasn't a danger to him, but a friend.

When he didn't like me yet he bit me a lot on my arms and legs so there's scars there. They aren't that bad but they still hurt a bit till this day.

I sit on the porch with Surm. Him eating his dog food I got him and me eating of course still my sandwich. I was think how Cesar would be doing. Did he go to Mexico already or is he somewhere out here. Or even worse, maybe he's dead..

I shouldn't worry much about him since he was kinda a dick 3 weeks ago. He calls me sometimes but I don't answer his calls since I don't wanna hear him. Tho I'm curious how he's doing, I still don't answer his calls.

I'm too busy trying to kill alternates and trying to stay alive myself that I don't have time to answer calls from him.

Surm starts to bark at something. I always carry around my hand gun whenever I need it. I rise the gun to where Surm is barking. Of course it's an alternate. I shoot it with 5 bullets until it collapses and turns into dust.

Some alternates do that, some turn into black goo when killed. I've studied them. The ones that turn to dust are the ones that are recently became alternates. The ones that turn into goo are the ones that have been alternates for a while.

Surm calms down and sits. I walk to the door of my 'new home' or my shelter. I open it and let Surm in, I don't want him to get hurt. I flip on a couch since I'm too lazy to go to the bedroom. Surm likes to sleep with me when I'm on the bed but since I'm sleeping on the couch he flops to the ground and falls asleep there.

Tomorrow I'm gonna search for more stuff.
