TOBY

Chapter 1: Meet the Blackwood's

A boy lied in bed sleeping.

In his sleep he had heard distorted voices calling out to him in his thoughts.

"Tooooooobyyyyy"
"Tooooooobyyyyy"
"Tooooooobyyyyy"

The voices were calling his name.

"TOBY!"

The boy that identified himself as 19 year old Tobias Blackwood, he woke up in a ashy crimson red environment the sky was a blood red and the ash that fell from the sky was a smokey black.

Toby himself stood up on his bare feet dressed fully in a grey tank top undershirt and dark navy blue sweatpants, he looked around in search of what called his name out.

"Hello?" Toby called out.

"Tooooooobyyyyy"

"Who's there?" Toby shouted.

"Tooooooobyyyyy"

"Come out where I can see you motherfucker." Toby yelled out as he had demanded to know who or what for the best of yet calling out his name to reveal himself in plain sight.

The environment was ashy for a specific reason as Toby himself looked around and the forest he stood inside of was on fire, bright orange flames flicked and rose high into the sky.

Was he in hell?

Smoke had flooded the forest area and as Toby stood there the fire felt hot but he couldn't feel it.

Congenital Insensitive to Pain or CIP for short could do bad for a person especially for Toby himself.

But what did it matter.
It didn't do him any favors of any kind for any reason, all it did was give possible injuries that he couldn't be aware of having if he couldn't feel the pain of being beaten and punched and kicked everytime something had happened, he couldn't feel the physical pain anyways even if he tried to fake it, the diagnosis did no real good service to him.

It wasn't a gift.
It wasn't some fucking superpower that he owned that made him unvunerable and untouchable.
No!
This disease, this diagnosis that Toby permanently owned for the rest of his life since the day he was fucking born was a curse.
It wasn't something to be proud or ashamed about.
He didn't understand why it had to be him.

"Tooooooobyyyyy"

"LEAVE ME ALOOOOONE!!!" Toby demanded as he cried out.

"Coooooommmmme toooooo meeeeee child!!!"

"GO AWAY!!!" Toby screamed.

Off in the distance he could make out what surely was a black silhouette of a tall slender humanoid figure.

Tentacles branched out from behind him in the distance and made his way towards Toby.

"What the fuck?" Toby said.

The slithered through the air and wrapped themselves around his wrists and legs and one wrapped around Toby's waist and pulled him in the direction towards this figure.

"Coooooommmmme toooooo meeeeee child!!!"

Toby flew through the air towards the figure and of course right he was about to make first contact with this thing, he was then transported into a repressed memory that was kept hidden.

At the age of five Toby's parents were killed in a car accident when he was a babysitter when his parents went out of town for a vacationing trip to a ski resort.

He remembered the gruesome detail of when the police officer had told Toby's babysitter about the tragic news, Toby's parents had died and then soon eventually him, his borther Cody, and his sister Lyra were adopted into the family called The Blackwood's.

Just then as that was going on Toby was suddenly then woken up and assaulted by his 18 year old brother Cody Blackwood.

"Toby get up, mom made pancakes with bacon today!!!" Cody said jokingly.

"With scrambled eggs?" Toby asked as he yawned.

"Yeppers!" Cody said.

Toby got up and yawned as climbed out of bed and had gotten dressed.

He looked at Cody his brother had severe albinism he had short white hair pale ghostly white skin and red eyes done him no favors, Toby had then went over to the bathroom and knocked on the door.

"Lyra are you done in there?" Toby asked.

"Almost be patient!!!" Lyra had yelled out from within the containment of the bathroom.

"Well hurry up I need to fucking piss sis!!!" Toby said as he stood there and waited and looked at the outfit he wore today.

Toby always went for the grunge 90's era clothing, he wore a monochrome plaid hoodie with a black hood, black ripped jeans, a dark navy blue shirt, and brown boots, he rubbed his hand through his hickory colored mahogany brown hair that had stopped at the top of his shoulders.

Suddenly the bathroom door had opened and stepping out into the hall was Toby's 17 year old sister Lyra Blackwood.

She dressed as a moody goth but she still has her quirky upbeat playful personality as a whole.

Soon they went downstairs and the three siblings met with each other.

The three siblings dressed the different fashion trend era.

Toby was dressed in the late 90's grunge era clothing.

Cody was dressed in the early 2000's modern emo era clothing.

And Lyra was dressed in the post modern mid to late 2015 goth era clothing.

The three siblings had met up right after Toby had to brush his hair.

Toby and his brother and sister had went downstairs and sat down at the table.

Their mother Diane Blackwood and father Ash Blackwood, their father has blonde hair and blue eyes and the mother had red hair hazel green eyes.

The three siblings sat down and ate breakfast.

The father, Ash Blackwood had looked and glared at the mother with subtle anger.

The three siblings went out the door and soon of course to get ready at their first day at their new school.

Hemlock Grove High!

Just then went out the door Ash himself asked Diane to pour him coffee as he sat there in blue jeans and a white wife beater tank top.

Diane grabbed a cup and poured coffee into it and brought it over to him.

"Here you babe." Daine said and then went to go give the coffee to Ash but as she was about to sit it down she accidently dropped the coffee onto Ash.

"WHAT THE FUCK?" Ash had shouted.

"STUPID FUCKING BITCH!!!" Ash said.

Ash had gotten up and marched over and being the abusive hothead father that he was had marched over and punched Diane in the left eye and had began to beat her in a unmerciful fashion as Diane screamed and cried.
