"I never wanted you to see the darkest part of me."
Emma and Phillip Rosenberg never really planned on having children so when the couple found out that they were pregnant, they weren’t exactly excited. Never the less, they saw the pregnancy through and on Janaury 5, 1978, Hollis Paul Rosenberg was born. The whole thing had been rough for the couple and Emma had awful case of postpartum depression on top of it. The couple managed to muster through the turmoil and raised their son as best as they could. Being an only child, Hollis was often yearning for the attention of his parents, particularly his father. His father was rarely home and when he was, he really wanted nothing to do with his son or even his wife. He would usually just hole himself up in the study and drink until the sun went down.
Hollis was a very imaginative child. He was always creating extravagant tales and acting them out with the kids on his block. He was always the main creator in their games of make believe. Every day, he would have a new idea. At school, the teachers were all very fond of Hollis and his consistently positive attitude. There was no questioning that he was the brightest one in his class every year. He could come home from school with positive marks every day and still, his father didn’t care. When Hollis turned ten, he stopped yearning for the attention since he realized that he would never get it.
When he was twelve years old, his parents got divorced and his mother got custody of him, which was fine with him. Sure, he wasn’t that close with his mother either but she at least would speak to him and try to care. A few years later, the boy got his first job busing tables at a local diner. It wasn’t much money but it was at least something to give his mother a hand with some of the costs of being a single mother.
By his junior year in high school, Hollis knew that it was his ultimate goal to be a lawyer and once he graduated, he started working towards that goal. He took a break after high school to just work and gather money up so that he could attend the school of his dreams: Stanford, which he did get accepted into. He just couldn’t afford it, even with the scholarships he was given. After about 5 years of strictly saving money, Hollis was content with his situation, reapplied and started up his schooling with Stanford. While in law school, Hollis had friends but no one that he could really call a best friend. That was until he met Brian Hayes. He was a bartender at a local bar and the two immediately hit it off. The guy was different from everyone else at Stanford and Hollis liked that. It was nice to have a change of pace from the pompous soon to be lawyers.
Things were going quite well for Hollis at school and he was almost ready to start really studying for his bar exam. As a way to help clear Hollis’ mind for a bit, Brian asked if he wanted to go on a camping trip with some of his friends. There was no way that Hollis was going to miss that. It was bound to be a good time.
Werewolves were a thing that you saw in the movies and read about in some preteen novels but never in a million years would Hollis ever expect them to exist. But it was obvious that they were for they were right in front of his eyes, ripping apart his friends one by one. Rather than wanting to suffer the same fate, he grabbed a hold of Brian and ran off as fast as he possibly could, wanting to make some serious distance between them and the beasts.
Hollis thought that he had successfully escaped the werewolves and he stood there with his best friend wondering just what in the hell they should do. There wasn’t much time for thinking though. The next thing he knew, he was telling Brian to run and a lycan was jumping out from behind the trees, attacking Hollis. Strong claws ripped from his neck down to his chest and strong teeth ripper deeply into his thigh, leaving the man in a heap on the ground, choking on his own blood. There was no doubt in his mind that he was going to die there.
Somehow, some way, he lived though. Hollis woke up in a hospital bed a few days later and could barely remember what had happened…until he brought his hand up to his neck and felt the bandage there. His hand moved to his thigh and he felt the deep gash there as well. Memories flew back to him and immediately, he began to thrash around in his bed, questioning the staff about his best friend. He could by the look on their faces that it wasn’t good. They told him that he was the only found alive and that it was a miracle that he was alive. But Hollis didn’t care. His best friend was dead.
After he was released from the hospital, he refused to leave his apartment until he could figure out just what was going to happen to him. He did as much research as he could online but there wasn’t much on it besides what the books said. Hollis was going to find out what would happen to a lycan first hand. Sure there was a chance that he didn’t get the curse, at least from what online said, but he wasn’t that lucky. The night of the full moon, the man locked himself in the bathroom and went through the first of many transformations.
The next morning, there wasn’t much that Hollis remembered. Except pain. There was so much pain. He could remember feeling his bones crack and his muscles ripping… Pushing those thoughts from his mind, he groggily pushed himself up from the floor and looked around the bathroom, noticing how completely fucked it was. Not to mention that he was completely nude too. There was not one thing left in tact in that room. And it was beginning to flood since the wolf had, apparently, pulled the toilet of the wall, causing the leak. There was no doubt the people downstairs were going to be pissed.
Hollis didn’t quite know where to go from there. He was alone, scared and confused. What exactly was his life now? What did being a werewolf entail? Even thinking about being one was just…weird. Hollis didn’t like how he felt. It was very unsettling to him. It constantly felt like there was something else pacing around in his mind. Was it always going to be like this?
When he felt fine enough with what he currently was, and took his bar exam, Hollis moved back to Greywood, the place that he would always call home. Except now, he was a big shot lawyer with a touch of werewolf. Hollis is currently working on opening his own law firm and doing his best to pretend that he wasn't a ravenous, bloodthirsty animal every 30 days or so.
"what power did he attain when settling in greywood?”
Hollis gained the power of blindsense. He does not need to see a person to know where they are when they are within a certain distance to him. He assumed it had to do with his werewolf senses, but he has come to realize it's more than just that.
