The most jarring part of not knowing of whether you're the only one who knows the big picture or that you're the only one who has gone mad is the uncertainty itself, for that very reason you cannot even blink as death is starring into the face or have a nervous breakdown on the most beautiful day of the year, or the situations be reversed.313Please respect copyright.PENANAgXtFaCALs2
313Please respect copyright.PENANAcDLHr4GVxd
Then of course it's one of those days that where you wish that you let that demon dog you found in the forest devour you.313Please respect copyright.PENANAJeHX35BfqN
313Please respect copyright.PENANAbnIaZyMY4O
Am I crazy for thinking that or not crazy for thinking that?313Please respect copyright.PENANAk1CVw6DIFm
313Please respect copyright.PENANAexNrvITWHJ
Guess we'll find out soon as another day comes.313Please respect copyright.PENANAwgCbWKQjKi

Ross ran down that unpaved country road as he tried his best to maintained a controlled breathing as he went through several boxing drills. He had been focusing on two things, avoiding everything and anything so as to not get involved in dangerous affairs and building himself up.313Please respect copyright.PENANALoKBO4jByy
313Please respect copyright.PENANA3hJGm328gt
Not to fight or to become someone great, but so survive. And it is for that reason that he was doing cardio for stamina and speed to run away and going through boxing drills while doing so.313Please respect copyright.PENANAiEsSg504dL
313Please respect copyright.PENANAknS9MufS4b
As he reached the top of a nearby hill he could look down and see the small town where he had woken up/gone mad in. And with it he could contemplate on this new world.313Please respect copyright.PENANAOjqO7bVoEZ
313Please respect copyright.PENANAHOpc7yMIij
It was the type of world where it looked to be a seemingly similar to Harry Potter/ Beautiful Creatures/Dresden and many other franchises where hiding within it was a secret community of non-human/magical beings.313Please respect copyright.PENANAdDncWjzKUU
313Please respect copyright.PENANAYhxEJXaPKt
And looking down on Ross wondered how they managed to stay hidden. He could see small bodied witches teleporting in an out of empty fields where they thought no one could see them.313Please respect copyright.PENANAxZOAjfEyna
313Please respect copyright.PENANA2NdxUkxrC2
Other shifted into flying animals or just took flight on their own. Portals popped in and out on the other side of the field, where they thought that no one could see.313Please respect copyright.PENANAwgHtegrPto
313Please respect copyright.PENANABpyj5ls1qv
How could the world forget about magic?313Please respect copyright.PENANAaKAeb3hsFX
313Please respect copyright.PENANAlng6ndDwtu
Was it really that low of an attention span, that all it took was half a hundred meters distance for humanity to ignore it? Or maybe that was just more proof that Ross had lost his mind, and all of this was delusions.313Please respect copyright.PENANAZwpGrn4ZIY
313Please respect copyright.PENANANjfmfS3Spz
Either way Ross decided to take the road less travelled on his way back, in order to avoid getting involved in who knows what drama or danger the magically inclined got into. Things like that always happened in any book series.313Please respect copyright.PENANAiV3FJCMnJ4
313Please respect copyright.PENANAP6ggLTE8qM
And that was how he walked straight into a group of vampires as they were in the middle...........this was actually happening....... a group of vampires who were hanging about in a small clearing as one of the vampire ladies was drinking the blood of a man on the ground.313Please respect copyright.PENANAIcGMf23WzR
313Please respect copyright.PENANABizXvVNj4P
"Time momentarily stopped for Ross, oh shit why am I narrating now? Damn, maybe I should up my dosage." Ross said as he took a few steps to the towards the neatest three and leaned against it as he cradled his face in his hands. When he slid it down he saw that the group of vampires was now in front of him, surrounding him.313Please respect copyright.PENANA3shDFEg3zx
313Please respect copyright.PENANA1yDmGyEWqX
"This is by far the most unique hallucination that I've ever had up until now."313Please respect copyright.PENANAzzgImRd2VE
313Please respect copyright.PENANASOIFEQDWX6
"Hallucination? Dearest Ross? I never knew you had issues, I hope it's not serious." The apparent leader of the group, a girl with long flowing hair and wearing a gala like dress said.313Please respect copyright.PENANAixWYvd3qvv
313Please respect copyright.PENANAiKrRmdEJsf
"You know me?"313Please respect copyright.PENANADxZA4VV8om
313Please respect copyright.PENANAqGrPDThyv7
"Many do, but that comes from you being the only boy at school who doesn't gossip like an old woman, swear like a sailor or whistle at women like a wolf. You have quite the reputation as calm and smart guy." She said.313Please respect copyright.PENANAVxk7QtjcbH
313Please respect copyright.PENANALWzUBpG3kJ
"Yeah, we'll since I'm alone in the woods and surrounded I don't feel very smart right now." Ross said and this made the group chuckle.313Please respect copyright.PENANARdW5s1MwqF
313Please respect copyright.PENANAkfNvsp7Zd2
"And yet there's no fear. Why is that? Don't you think that vampires are reason enough to fear." The leader asked.313Please respect copyright.PENANA3AihhsmIx2
313Please respect copyright.PENANANJBlXqxY8z
"Why? You don't kill." Ross said and the group of vampires did a double take.313Please respect copyright.PENANA3d7G719wvV
313Please respect copyright.PENANAS3YcgIS23O
"H-how did you know that?" The blonde vampire next to the leader said.313Please respect copyright.PENANA77lfJVHyXC
313Please respect copyright.PENANAcXr6etEAWF
"I read long ago that some math expert calculated that if Vampires killed the ones they drank from then humanity would disappear within a year and since human population has been increasing I'm guessing that you don't kill, just get them drunk, drink then hypnotize to forget."313Please respect copyright.PENANARSh3jaqQRV
313Please respect copyright.PENANAlTJ1KndosW
At that the leader gave a smile and light clap of her hands.313Please respect copyright.PENANAhdIWeu7Jib
313Please respect copyright.PENANArYei5aoGuX
"Brava, you're the first one mortal to come to that conclusion so fast. You have the wisdom of an elder." At the woman's words a flood of memories struck Ross as he had to cradle his head again as echoes of a past life, of an older body, a life that had seen enough to temper the fire of youth with the wisdom of age set in.313Please respect copyright.PENANA8opURzqIFi
313Please respect copyright.PENANA0gGKCUcOWl
It was why having lived in that world, the real world, that this encounter did not end up if a fight to the death, but rather a meeting of two cultures, of two peoples.313Please respect copyright.PENANAepXh0y9Pc9
313Please respect copyright.PENANAxAlHsPRAwT
And with that he also started to remember certain things from this new life. Like how he now remembered the name of the leader, the girl's name was Belladonna Du Bois, someone who was very popular at school along with her clique of girls.313Please respect copyright.PENANACpi5UC1iy2
313Please respect copyright.PENANAZsW4SFYCmS
"Bro, you okay?" Ross heard a man's voice from behind and saw that the man who had been fed upon was up on from the ground, rubbing his neck where the fangs whereas the blonde vampire glomped him and embraced his left arm in her own as in an amorous manner as she leaned against him.313Please respect copyright.PENANAmYTLF0QLCC
313Please respect copyright.PENANAfNKo6Bv284
"Yeah, just.....honestly I just don't know what it is, just one of those days that you wish you never got out of bed." Ross said towards the boy that was a fellow from school that he recognized as a once top player on the football team namely Michael Aubernaty.313Please respect copyright.PENANAqriSyDSRiC
313Please respect copyright.PENANAEGQJ4uLIiN
"I hear ya bro. I felt the same way when I was dating my ex and the one before that, heck I use to think that everything was shit, that no matter what I did was not good enough, that everyone was a backstabbing bitch. Then I met my Jessie, and she made me realize that things get better." Michael said and gestured to the vampire that had been drinking his blood earlier.313Please respect copyright.PENANApUkbQtU6Sw
313Please respect copyright.PENANACZakt7pFm5
"You're dating?" Ross asked in surprise.313Please respect copyright.PENANAOhWSY9eM74
313Please respect copyright.PENANAXDb9XoWnl8
"Steady on for 3 months now! That reminds me! Happy anniversary babe." Michael said as he gave the vampire called Jessie Brown a silver chain bracelet.313Please respect copyright.PENANAUbxyHNhX3x
313Please respect copyright.PENANACVeCn9AtcK
"You seem to be taking this in very good stride, are you from a family that's in the know about the magical world?" Belladonna asked.313Please respect copyright.PENANAb7swNnTlJl
313Please respect copyright.PENANAEhmS2ZKmuA
"No, I'm just a muggle." Ross replied.313Please respect copyright.PENANAbXxuAXVRmc
313Please respect copyright.PENANAppOTWuvgBm
"How are you taking this so calmly?"313Please respect copyright.PENANAXVkQZUURRn
313Please respect copyright.PENANAtKtgBGvEkP
"I'm crazy." At that Belladonna's face morphed into a bat like scowl as she pointed a finger with a razor sharp talon right into Ross's face.313Please respect copyright.PENANAe4JFIy5Yd7
313Please respect copyright.PENANAmMITAE4FvN
"Don't you ever! EVER! Say that again! You came while Jessie was feeding and you didn't scream, or run or attack, or call us freaks or monsters or abominations! You talked to us, you listened, you were calm and logical and all that boring stuff! And that's good, that's how it should be! So don't you ever EVER dare say that you behave like a crazy person! Cause what you just did....it's not crazy...." Belladonna said with a voice that held the undertones of someone who went through a lot because of the circumstances of her birth as Ross looked at her with surprised eyes.313Please respect copyright.PENANANJU1yPsXyV
313Please respect copyright.PENANAQF3imHM23s
"Sorry about that....I shouldn't have shouted at you." Belladonna said after calming down and morphing back to human form.313Please respect copyright.PENANAVPqHJcHwxz
313Please respect copyright.PENANA19Ybx23ZRr
"Apology accepted, I'm also sorry for my words, didn't mean to offend you."313Please respect copyright.PENANAEbhQboV7Ev
313Please respect copyright.PENANA3DXeH7ErLN
"No problem. Anyway it's nice to meet a human that we don't have to glamour into forgetting about this. You're cool to Mickey, but I'm a social girl that likes to make new friends." Belladonna teased and Michael gave a thumbs up.313Please respect copyright.PENANAS8v1K3zh9D
313Please respect copyright.PENANAO8GWKveDxN
"Same. Well, I gotta get back and change. See you girls latter, Mickey, Jessie, Belladonna...everyone...bye." Ross said and started jogging again.313Please respect copyright.PENANAZbAUKO0EvH
313Please respect copyright.PENANAaiF2UJUMwv
"See you later. And please call me Donna."313Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZTkVW0hjg
313Please respect copyright.PENANAGQ1Udiozom
"Whatever you say Miss Belladonna."313Please respect copyright.PENANAcGz8tmyW5J
313Please respect copyright.PENANABZpglz1eSt
"Ross, toying with a vampire is never good for your health. So do as I say and call me Donna."313Please respect copyright.PENANAnxxNnkPL36
313Please respect copyright.PENANAaizC2Ewsvz
"As Miss Belladonna commands." Ross shouted with a smile on his face as Belladonna could not help but chuckle a bit.313Please respect copyright.PENANAez4833GjNI
313Please respect copyright.PENANAet8KAQll8q
And that was how an encounter with vampires ended, nothing like the stories, but weirder than fiction.313Please respect copyright.PENANAM4jYrAKquR
313Please respect copyright.PENANAkk0acWQXRY
"Wait, does that mean that this is all real?" Ross asked himself as he held up his medication and wondered whether this was confirmation.313Please respect copyright.PENANA8zuvehjnSK
313Please respect copyright.PENANA67Bhi839V0
After all if he was crazy and still seeing all of this despite being on pills, then either the pills where ineffective and this was all delusions or this was all real and he was just someone who noticed the supernatural.313Please respect copyright.PENANARdoGz5LbAR
313Please respect copyright.PENANA8BISzCxx1c
So he decided to go to the post office and mail some pills to a private lab in order to have them tested to see if they were real or just expensive flavorless tick tacks.313Please respect copyright.PENANAy6YYKRsn5Q
313Please respect copyright.PENANAYVE3SRBdOy
All in all things seemed to be going according to his plan, he was getting stronger, managed to keep things peaceful, find answers to who he was and most important of all not become a characters in any of the crazy stories of the numerous supernatural inhabitants.313Please respect copyright.PENANAOQZuhmgzSm
313Please respect copyright.PENANA4AKxz7NdsX
As he walked down the lane back to his home, he was confident that everything was gonna be fine.313Please respect copyright.PENANAqXTBTlkpHh
313Please respect copyright.PENANA1JlWnOtP8e
And as he did so passed by the various denizens of Calliope, who were all heroes of their own story, noticed him.313Please respect copyright.PENANALnZGkSnzPY
313Please respect copyright.PENANAkGswms87pJ
And made plans to investigate this 'strange' denizen of their town and his mystery.313Please respect copyright.PENANAp3oqtrJsB9
313Please respect copyright.PENANA3qz5CO0ZCy
And so Ross instead of getting involved in other's story, in avoiding that has become the protagonist of his own story that will attract the others.313Please respect copyright.PENANAzGUGFoHT7t
313Please respect copyright.PENANAH7i5G9MXbP
"Oh no." Ross said to himself as he realized and started to notice the various eyes on his person, but pretended that he didn't notice.313Please respect copyright.PENANAHSLlB3TEmx
313Please respect copyright.PENANAO5vIIag5Eb
As he did so he received a text from Hexen.313Please respect copyright.PENANAcau3rCDKrb
313Please respect copyright.PENANAc8XzP6nMPv
"Coffee and sweets so I can complain to you? XOXOXO." 313Please respect copyright.PENANAZLgRuh6sM8
313Please respect copyright.PENANA4OwPC5eKG0
"Oh no." Ross added again as he then felt the wind pick up a bit, that was never a good sign.313Please respect copyright.PENANAD1eU0sj25f
313Please respect copyright.PENANAzAd7sxIgUa
Whenever a sudden gush of wind blew it was always a sign of impending chaos.313Please respect copyright.PENANAQrbtBaVn7I
313Please respect copyright.PENANADNdJiIo2nc
"Oh no, no, no, no." Ross said as he felt the world crash around him, he felt like everything was horrid.313Please respect copyright.PENANARgzE0Snbxu
313Please respect copyright.PENANAalyG8qKl1B
Teenage drama, the supernatural, impending doom, chaos with you as the epicenter, madness, vampires and dating.313Please respect copyright.PENANAJPS8M1B3Ew
313Please respect copyright.PENANAZsJVre5s0M
Just another walk down this untroubled lane that Ross found himself on.313Please respect copyright.PENANAPDdVaieoK3
313Please respect copyright.PENANAKaEp6kYjgQ
The bell rang there and then to signal the start of Highscool.313Please respect copyright.PENANABuJiCRNx7s
313Please respect copyright.PENANAZTM4jw26MR
Just another day in Wonderland.313Please respect copyright.PENANApCaycBw2NT
