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.312Please respect copyright.PENANAriuFJS8MMQ
312Please respect copyright.PENANADHQEDcfYL2
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.312Please respect copyright.PENANAppKnr5nREi
312Please respect copyright.PENANAuV2ksDk4Hk
Am I crazy for thinking that or not crazy for thinking that?312Please respect copyright.PENANA50IaYBf3ea
312Please respect copyright.PENANAMQ00icz4nN
Guess we'll find out soon as another day comes.312Please respect copyright.PENANAoTvHWpl35t

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.312Please respect copyright.PENANAEaTQWfUBc9
312Please respect copyright.PENANAitQt8WGhrs
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.312Please respect copyright.PENANAeAFJ4PnVsk
312Please respect copyright.PENANAZurfekWApf
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.312Please respect copyright.PENANAjn0OMDpTDV
312Please respect copyright.PENANADq13ax0qLT
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.312Please respect copyright.PENANA1jDhQS4gOY
312Please respect copyright.PENANAe92RgpYpmA
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.312Please respect copyright.PENANAQgX1xPuzpb
312Please respect copyright.PENANABkONxHsiWc
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.312Please respect copyright.PENANAURw4KsNZsW
312Please respect copyright.PENANA1IiVYwaLhJ
How could the world forget about magic?312Please respect copyright.PENANA8N5R3t7tZE
312Please respect copyright.PENANALDDBz1rAqk
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.312Please respect copyright.PENANABASIDsunSL
312Please respect copyright.PENANAxLpqw5DGgW
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.312Please respect copyright.PENANAK9d1QWRLZz
312Please respect copyright.PENANAmpdISu9cm7
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.312Please respect copyright.PENANAWNoLhmQlpm
312Please respect copyright.PENANAcSsQcmZfkz
"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.312Please respect copyright.PENANAXjMgO3XwCm
312Please respect copyright.PENANAQySMQXKGoS
"This is by far the most unique hallucination that I've ever had up until now."312Please respect copyright.PENANAlhGp9XUatL
312Please respect copyright.PENANAHbKMoR6RM2
"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.312Please respect copyright.PENANAyn6z6Bb3TE
312Please respect copyright.PENANAnqMyR6lraf
"You know me?"312Please respect copyright.PENANAo84GKCHXYz
312Please respect copyright.PENANA6EEW9Jwt1K
"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.312Please respect copyright.PENANAooTNkWeqsi
312Please respect copyright.PENANA7yhsoIYuV4
"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.312Please respect copyright.PENANAmzcc3kaUzl
312Please respect copyright.PENANAWZUP23iUEk
"And yet there's no fear. Why is that? Don't you think that vampires are reason enough to fear." The leader asked.312Please respect copyright.PENANArWE7OBAsXW
312Please respect copyright.PENANAimZApVIbwe
"Why? You don't kill." Ross said and the group of vampires did a double take.312Please respect copyright.PENANAHhdzfFDyVy
312Please respect copyright.PENANAFHFV8nBYzP
"H-how did you know that?" The blonde vampire next to the leader said.312Please respect copyright.PENANAynp35yn0dS
312Please respect copyright.PENANAcafcJY2tmw
"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."312Please respect copyright.PENANA39v8wN8HkP
312Please respect copyright.PENANA3kllv4yE30
At that the leader gave a smile and light clap of her hands.312Please respect copyright.PENANAKja20wVO6Z
312Please respect copyright.PENANAtzRJhITWB0
"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.312Please respect copyright.PENANAxpBNIdZ6J9
312Please respect copyright.PENANACd3D731B8e
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.312Please respect copyright.PENANAR29eE3CiXW
312Please respect copyright.PENANAyJkYUi1LGa
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.312Please respect copyright.PENANASaXStAsKqW
312Please respect copyright.PENANAASU71MgXLf
"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.312Please respect copyright.PENANAbu2QjLAwXa
312Please respect copyright.PENANA7KTpeuZW7y
"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.312Please respect copyright.PENANAaQ81G6JsOi
312Please respect copyright.PENANAb2Y5ZP15Vb
"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.312Please respect copyright.PENANAqYyaO8qvva
312Please respect copyright.PENANAXn6TDjrECG
"You're dating?" Ross asked in surprise.312Please respect copyright.PENANAH9U9OX2rz3
312Please respect copyright.PENANAY5RJcYVGgg
"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.312Please respect copyright.PENANA4MnME7tMDd
312Please respect copyright.PENANAHKjFr2GlP5
"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.312Please respect copyright.PENANAVUpQvX6e3T
312Please respect copyright.PENANAVFzWnOsmrV
"No, I'm just a muggle." Ross replied.312Please respect copyright.PENANAKyKPONWFfF
312Please respect copyright.PENANARchA5tuDLY
"How are you taking this so calmly?"312Please respect copyright.PENANAM3aJb9GVxc
312Please respect copyright.PENANAWSF9c1MehR
"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.312Please respect copyright.PENANAuouOHhNuK7
312Please respect copyright.PENANAQCx2KcWpi6
"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.312Please respect copyright.PENANAFwTArUjAOs
312Please respect copyright.PENANA3CydzaUwO2
"Sorry about that....I shouldn't have shouted at you." Belladonna said after calming down and morphing back to human form.312Please respect copyright.PENANAyV49yg6yjp
312Please respect copyright.PENANAoROstZxkDk
"Apology accepted, I'm also sorry for my words, didn't mean to offend you."312Please respect copyright.PENANAvx1WDSbbU8
312Please respect copyright.PENANAM3Cw5rL8RU
"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.312Please respect copyright.PENANAVGZjSYXjPQ
312Please respect copyright.PENANAd1LeuHHETX
"Same. Well, I gotta get back and change. See you girls latter, Mickey, Jessie, Belladonna...everyone...bye." Ross said and started jogging again.312Please respect copyright.PENANA5UWszPLDAk
312Please respect copyright.PENANAjtNiLJ1bNs
"See you later. And please call me Donna."312Please respect copyright.PENANArgmczMXV2O
312Please respect copyright.PENANAITfO6USzzv
"Whatever you say Miss Belladonna."312Please respect copyright.PENANAO9N0G791Tw
312Please respect copyright.PENANAnR5J6fG7ue
"Ross, toying with a vampire is never good for your health. So do as I say and call me Donna."312Please respect copyright.PENANAnSUjMIsi1c
312Please respect copyright.PENANA9VToPHKWiz
"As Miss Belladonna commands." Ross shouted with a smile on his face as Belladonna could not help but chuckle a bit.312Please respect copyright.PENANATzXZOjkHm4
312Please respect copyright.PENANAvsLeHWeael
And that was how an encounter with vampires ended, nothing like the stories, but weirder than fiction.312Please respect copyright.PENANAt3Ewscvrf1
312Please respect copyright.PENANAmmTWSd6wET
"Wait, does that mean that this is all real?" Ross asked himself as he held up his medication and wondered whether this was confirmation.312Please respect copyright.PENANApQ207vSKsR
312Please respect copyright.PENANAedASVO3rRO
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.312Please respect copyright.PENANAfSwFG5foku
312Please respect copyright.PENANAFXghV0sjeY
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.312Please respect copyright.PENANAQWUlUWqgW5
312Please respect copyright.PENANAichMK7bygX
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.312Please respect copyright.PENANA0MyQLXWQb9
312Please respect copyright.PENANAMW5B3gu1YT
As he walked down the lane back to his home, he was confident that everything was gonna be fine.312Please respect copyright.PENANATXcHgsPYiI
312Please respect copyright.PENANAvksK8s7xft
And as he did so passed by the various denizens of Calliope, who were all heroes of their own story, noticed him.312Please respect copyright.PENANAKFZsYY4zmC
312Please respect copyright.PENANA0nRa21a8r0
And made plans to investigate this 'strange' denizen of their town and his mystery.312Please respect copyright.PENANADXqAcNSgsH
312Please respect copyright.PENANAivSvrtmlKs
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.312Please respect copyright.PENANA1QCsNfTN2h
312Please respect copyright.PENANASohCqxnAcj
"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.312Please respect copyright.PENANAGZ55EHcl85
312Please respect copyright.PENANAi0QccX1KTF
As he did so he received a text from Hexen.312Please respect copyright.PENANAIYexiVVvJS
312Please respect copyright.PENANAi0KatJnafx
"Coffee and sweets so I can complain to you? XOXOXO." 312Please respect copyright.PENANAkAiATY1JZC
312Please respect copyright.PENANAVPFCfQi314
"Oh no." Ross added again as he then felt the wind pick up a bit, that was never a good sign.312Please respect copyright.PENANAmwIOGgvQgR
312Please respect copyright.PENANADER7cHIf2z
Whenever a sudden gush of wind blew it was always a sign of impending chaos.312Please respect copyright.PENANAgmyYFFBKfB
312Please respect copyright.PENANAzlwrxsXb4q
"Oh no, no, no, no." Ross said as he felt the world crash around him, he felt like everything was horrid.312Please respect copyright.PENANA46ZXinuttO
312Please respect copyright.PENANAh2zDAJAciS
Teenage drama, the supernatural, impending doom, chaos with you as the epicenter, madness, vampires and dating.312Please respect copyright.PENANAXUKCy1DjoF
312Please respect copyright.PENANAPOElE50Qd7
Just another walk down this untroubled lane that Ross found himself on.312Please respect copyright.PENANA4mC993MYr2
312Please respect copyright.PENANATAv2Q1d2ys
The bell rang there and then to signal the start of Highscool.312Please respect copyright.PENANAw4ZzG61FUe
312Please respect copyright.PENANAN6lnny7UPR
Just another day in Wonderland.312Please respect copyright.PENANAE8k7RWeCh2
