(Hey guys sorry i have been gone for so long lmao hope you enjoy)


My real name is Cody.. and since the beginning, I have always been a unwanted kid. I never actually knew who my father was, my mother was a prostitute. She was to busy to worry about me. She left me for days.. sometimes even weeks. I got used to being alone after a while, I have never had friends. One day, a social worker arrived at our house. She took me away from my mother and put me in a orphanage. At first i didn't care all that much, in fact, it was the perfect chance to start fresh. But i don't know what went wrong. No one liked me. I would sit on a chair and i wouldn't talk to anyone, i was afraid to. I soon got used to the idea that i didn't fit in anywhere. Suddenly, one day, i was told to pack because i was going to be adopted. I was really surprised. Who would want to adopt a thirteen year old boy? People prefered cuter and younger kids, plus i was a weirdo. I was even more surprised when they took me to an amazing mansion. I settled in my room and some days went by until i finally met my new father. He was a chief scientist in a big laboratory that studied the behavior of a virus. Because of his job, he was not able to spend much time at home either. I started to re-awaken old ghosts from the past. In order to avoid this, I started to showing interest in his investigations, and i even started helping him in his own lab. He returned the favor by explaining to me how everything worked and the amazing destructive power viruses have. Just as him, i started keeping a work journal, where i draw sketches and wrote down formulas. This all took up a lot of my school time, and when i did go, my classmates treated me as a weirdo. When i was seventeen, i had learned so much about viruses. I started carrying out my own experiments. I used rats and animals, and usually all of my tests ended up with a dead subject. When they died, they edmited high pitched noises, a kind of almost suffocation, as if their lungs were to explode. It was a incredible moment. I started to wonder what sound humans would make, but each time i talked about it with somebody, they said i was sick and i should look for help. However, i didn't give up. One day, when i was with my father at work, i was left alone and took advantage of the situation by filling up a syringe with a very lethal virus. That same night, while everyone was sleeping, i put on a black jacket and blue jeans, and went down to the basement. I had my baseball bat, and by coincidence i found a jar with used rusty nails. I nailed some of them and so created a simple but mortal weapon. In another drawer I found an old gas mask and some blue welder glasses. Once i had it all, i went out to the darkest neighborhood in town. I chose a house randomly, a old and ramshackle house, and i went inside. It wasn't difficult to end the lives of everybody in there, thanks to my improved bat. But i saved the last person, a fifty year old man. I immobilized him and injected the virus i had stolen. I waited till it had spread all around his body. The man barely complained, he was terrified. After a while, he started groaning out loud..groans that sounded like those of animals, and suddenly, he fell on the floor. He was dead, and i couldn't help but smile. I had finally lived that moment. When i went back home, my father was waiting for me, awake. I decided to tell him what i had done, hoping that as a scientist he would share my desire for investigating. But instead, he was horrified and wanted to call the police. He looked at me with the same expression of disgust as my classmates. When he grabbed the phone, i took the opportunity to smash his head in with my bat. After that i left running, running towards the lab, where i sneaked in thanks to the accreditation i had stolen from my father. I grabbed a bag and started filling it up with syringes and virus samples of all kinds imaginable. I had decided to escape, but before doing that i decided to go back to that neighborhood and test out some of my new acquisitions. After that, i needed refuge, so i went into the forest. After some time walking, i found someone. I tried to sight him in the darkness, and i saw a boy wearing orange glasses and a muzzle covering his mouth. He was wearing a gray hoodie with a dark blue hood and he had two axes with him. I didn't know if he had seen me so i hid behind a tree, but when i looked again, he wasn't there anymore. I looked in the other direction and suddenly, i saw him, face to face really close to me. "Get out of there...I know you, you have nothing to hide." It didn't seem like he wanted to attack me, so i went, and horrified, I asked who he was. "My name is Toby." He said. I wanted to say my name, Cody, but instead, something different came out of my mouth: X-virus. "Nice to meet you, X-virus. Now, come with me".  He started walking away and i followed him, without even imagining i had found a great friend, my blood brother.
