Welcome To Our World (Ticcimask) (Discontinued)

Chapter 9: The Past

Toby's POV

     My eyes fluttered awake as I looked around. A blue sofa with a red carpet underneath it. A TV turned off, the maroon curtains blocking out any sunlight, wooden flooring and concrete walls... wait.... this can't be... am I... back home?!?!
     I began to tremble as the tears reached my eyes, I don't wanna be back!!! I wanna go to my REAL home!!! I wanna be with Masky, Hoodie, Kate, Ann, Hobo Heart, Nathan, Liu, Lou!!! I wanna be home!!! I don't wanna be here!!!
     I got up and out of the bed I was lying in quickly and opened the door. The halls looked the same and my mind spiraled to the exit of the house, which was blocked off by a lock. I cursed underneath my breath.
     "Are you really gonna kiss your mother with that mouth?" Asked a familiar voice. I shook my head in disbelief.
     "It can't be..." I mumbled.
     "Toby Erin Rogers." The voice called out my name. I felt my heart drop as I looked over to see the middle-aged woman standing before me who had neat short brown hair that fit her complexion quite well. She wore a green v-neck T-shirt and a pair of blue jeans. Diamond stud earrings decorated each of her ears, which partially showed from behind her haircut. She had deep green eyes, which her shirt brought out, and the lighting seemed to make them more noticeable. There wasn't anything significant about her appearance. She looked like any other 'average mother' you would see on TV shows and the like, however, the one thing that made her different than the 'average mothers' was the dark bags she had under her eyes. Her facial expression was gloomy and sad, although she genuinely looked like someone who smiled a lot. Just not as much as he used to.
     "Mom?" I felt the tears roll down my eyes.
     "I finally have my family back..." she comes over to hug me. I try to pull away, but my mother's grip had grown stronger.
     " I-I don't wanna be back!!!" I cried. My tears fell fast and I took many steps back.
     "Tobias.... you don't have a choice. I need you back honey."
"DON'T CALL ME THAT!" My mother took a step back.
"Toby, please calm down..." my body trembled violently as I began to remember what happened at this very house. Dad... Lyra... The Neighborhood... all of what I have done are coming back to haunt me. My heart was starting to sink.
     "Mom... I don't wanna be here!" I felt the tears stream down even faster as the dripped onto the floor.
     "Toby..." My mother came a bit closer to me.
     "I wanna be with Masky... I wanna go home... I wanna be who I was supposed to be..." I felt the urge to wipe away my tears and stand up for myself. "I don't wanna be here with you!" I yelled.

Masky's POV

     "Tim!!! Wake up!!!" My body felt heavy as I sat up, sleepiness blurred my vision and I looked around for where the voice had called me. My eyes focused on where it came and I saw the familiar brown hair and cap.
     "Jay?" I asked confused.
     "Yeah? You alright?" He helped me to my feet. I looked around to see the familiar forest I used to explore in for the production of Marble Hornets.
     "Why are we here?" I asked. I then felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked over to see the dirty blonde hair and hazel-green eyed man who I called my best friend.
     "Tim, have you lost your mind?" He pondered.
"Brian, what happened to your mask?" I asked.
"What mask?" He was obviously confused and narrowed his eyes as if scanning me for a possible answer to my unusual question. I just stood there somewhat nervously and embarrassed. How do they not remember? I thought Jay died? What the???
      "Tim, I think you might need to take your pills. You're acting strange." Jay panned the camcorder to me. I rolled my eyes and pursed my lips. I saw the gentle breeze flow through everyone's hair yet I couldn't feel the cold whoosh that had said passed me by. I began to think rationally, I know this isn't real... this is a mere dream... I suddenly felt the urge to cough and began hacking away, my lungs burning for some reason and I felt I was about to collapse onto the wet grass that my senses were numb to.
     "Tim?!" Brian places a hand on my shoulder and took out a pill bottle. "Luckily I keep your pills with me, here." Brian shoves a pill in my mouth and I swallowed hard. I couldn't taste anything and most certainly am I glad to be immune to taste currently. I don't believe those pills helped me... what is going on?
