216Please respect copyright.PENANA3in2A816sP
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.216Please respect copyright.PENANAnTGd5JFEdn
216Please respect copyright.PENANAsgHvcxB8jB
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.216Please respect copyright.PENANAo6BXgrm5EU
216Please respect copyright.PENANAWHPRZp72oo
Am I crazy for thinking that or not crazy for thinking that?216Please respect copyright.PENANAAdnLYM33md
216Please respect copyright.PENANA6cgbktjZh1
Guess we'll find out soon as another day comes.216Please respect copyright.PENANAvC0MxKU2Az

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.216Please respect copyright.PENANAGU4RJK46FZ
216Please respect copyright.PENANAp0bTp3mckh
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.216Please respect copyright.PENANA9XzncIs4VM
216Please respect copyright.PENANAIiWRwDlhxj
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.216Please respect copyright.PENANATpwloc38PA
216Please respect copyright.PENANAVE4JlFCBsY
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.216Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7rYzu9qtD
216Please respect copyright.PENANAkdpU6WvgzL
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.216Please respect copyright.PENANAAEXRH6ci5a
216Please respect copyright.PENANAqZdzYAkggk
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.216Please respect copyright.PENANAuuBWDo1ceD
216Please respect copyright.PENANAVir1WRD1EL
How could the world forget about magic?216Please respect copyright.PENANARN4iad8fzs
216Please respect copyright.PENANAW95uUqyZcQ
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.216Please respect copyright.PENANATgdSfKHOjs
216Please respect copyright.PENANAod0kWLRDPr
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.216Please respect copyright.PENANAaBMD40k80c
216Please respect copyright.PENANAxdJ12C5vj5
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.216Please respect copyright.PENANAAQm9Vpaurj
216Please respect copyright.PENANAAxrmSEyMBB
"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.216Please respect copyright.PENANADgopxCrWv1
216Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9FmEWka7J
"This is by far the most unique hallucination that I've ever had up until now."216Please respect copyright.PENANAmOM0b3XHpe
216Please respect copyright.PENANAOMMqU2RSwc
"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.216Please respect copyright.PENANASPjhBkFmpi
216Please respect copyright.PENANAm4LGiYCgoT
"You know me?"216Please respect copyright.PENANASzkSiyBykR
216Please respect copyright.PENANAyEfoj9sl3B
"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.216Please respect copyright.PENANA6O84vKk34A
216Please respect copyright.PENANAHhBM92nPiG
"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.216Please respect copyright.PENANAsD8PNmDj40
216Please respect copyright.PENANAzx7giveypb
"And yet there's no fear. Why is that? Don't you think that vampires are reason enough to fear." The leader asked.216Please respect copyright.PENANAtT0phtgzvx
216Please respect copyright.PENANA8cqyshwEtB
"Why? You don't kill." Ross said and the group of vampires did a double take.216Please respect copyright.PENANAlbJ7iP5caA
216Please respect copyright.PENANAYaRPFKYJdi
"H-how did you know that?" The blonde vampire next to the leader said.216Please respect copyright.PENANADKA5irLuqs
216Please respect copyright.PENANA4mau3shuQp
"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."216Please respect copyright.PENANA6TtrgyaC61
216Please respect copyright.PENANAlqUcjJCRHQ
At that the leader gave a smile and light clap of her hands.216Please respect copyright.PENANA34zGLNC58g
216Please respect copyright.PENANAHsyKS4fKVq
"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.216Please respect copyright.PENANAPkJkqNbcOe
216Please respect copyright.PENANAZbCQVQcinT
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.216Please respect copyright.PENANAVnr8cQG97n
216Please respect copyright.PENANA88iXiKZCq1
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.216Please respect copyright.PENANA301uXoCvXQ
216Please respect copyright.PENANAa2OmCJ64WC
"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.216Please respect copyright.PENANAYit20pwtz0
216Please respect copyright.PENANA4LHLZOWKNe
"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.216Please respect copyright.PENANAskgiaUncFw
216Please respect copyright.PENANAwOvbL1ig1R
"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.216Please respect copyright.PENANAqg12Z2sLU8
216Please respect copyright.PENANAFumlw5OOH6
"You're dating?" Ross asked in surprise.216Please respect copyright.PENANALMChcF6SGx
216Please respect copyright.PENANACM0vnBzCiX
"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.216Please respect copyright.PENANA3x5M8OpWnc
216Please respect copyright.PENANAcEkS7fbePV
"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.216Please respect copyright.PENANA5O0SeSSgds
216Please respect copyright.PENANAJLdusHomdu
"No, I'm just a muggle." Ross replied.216Please respect copyright.PENANA5kvptL9y4D
216Please respect copyright.PENANArHJ91ymgBA
"How are you taking this so calmly?"216Please respect copyright.PENANAjCgoGSbKMx
216Please respect copyright.PENANAga8lPeDN1l
"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.216Please respect copyright.PENANALu6hNAh55R
216Please respect copyright.PENANAfGPAdfo7pq
"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.216Please respect copyright.PENANAQfkhxfKJhf
216Please respect copyright.PENANA5lp64EtMjs
"Sorry about that....I shouldn't have shouted at you." Belladonna said after calming down and morphing back to human form.216Please respect copyright.PENANAdSQ0rP9k7m
216Please respect copyright.PENANAdyUz1MJjar
"Apology accepted, I'm also sorry for my words, didn't mean to offend you."216Please respect copyright.PENANAFAJu01kYR7
216Please respect copyright.PENANAjDHWPkrFYd
"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.216Please respect copyright.PENANAGipWfLz9vA
216Please respect copyright.PENANAMkcH44853P
"Same. Well, I gotta get back and change. See you girls latter, Mickey, Jessie, Belladonna...everyone...bye." Ross said and started jogging again.216Please respect copyright.PENANAg60hdrEFS5
216Please respect copyright.PENANAJcZqKlF2B5
"See you later. And please call me Donna."216Please respect copyright.PENANAM5I2S69CFk
216Please respect copyright.PENANAYr021U7hb7
"Whatever you say Miss Belladonna."216Please respect copyright.PENANAz21Q7jovCf
216Please respect copyright.PENANA2plF3xMaPH
"Ross, toying with a vampire is never good for your health. So do as I say and call me Donna."216Please respect copyright.PENANAxYbYYkVQo7
216Please respect copyright.PENANASmhlFYeIti
"As Miss Belladonna commands." Ross shouted with a smile on his face as Belladonna could not help but chuckle a bit.216Please respect copyright.PENANAimE34KjIK6
216Please respect copyright.PENANAiPGMY4hlN8
And that was how an encounter with vampires ended, nothing like the stories, but weirder than fiction.216Please respect copyright.PENANAIQ8R8OjPTS
216Please respect copyright.PENANA4pi6ZLFBHl
"Wait, does that mean that this is all real?" Ross asked himself as he held up his medication and wondered whether this was confirmation.216Please respect copyright.PENANA9b9J2QpqxZ
216Please respect copyright.PENANA9HIa3PKouA
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.216Please respect copyright.PENANAfydzdn97lP
216Please respect copyright.PENANAWmaI7TpiYZ
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.216Please respect copyright.PENANAdnUVZdLr58
216Please respect copyright.PENANAVPWkrhekQs
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.216Please respect copyright.PENANAS8bL78RLhZ
216Please respect copyright.PENANARGBZIGfqQY
As he walked down the lane back to his home, he was confident that everything was gonna be fine.216Please respect copyright.PENANAedEssqwahr
216Please respect copyright.PENANANwWGfOLN48
And as he did so passed by the various denizens of Calliope, who were all heroes of their own story, noticed him.216Please respect copyright.PENANAhF0Ig2udl1
216Please respect copyright.PENANAxenulyUxGg
And made plans to investigate this 'strange' denizen of their town and his mystery.216Please respect copyright.PENANAQTTl8MecIr
216Please respect copyright.PENANAWp7f8X46od
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.216Please respect copyright.PENANAVxQ8ferUeq
216Please respect copyright.PENANARuzx3Lzykh
"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.216Please respect copyright.PENANA3iNm7gaxol
216Please respect copyright.PENANA7mg4UvcAaq
As he did so he received a text from Hexen.216Please respect copyright.PENANABhkynqZFTD
216Please respect copyright.PENANAcYcvb1Yjwj
"Coffee and sweets so I can complain to you? XOXOXO." 216Please respect copyright.PENANAEZutXLqTdm
216Please respect copyright.PENANARM1IGzA7oV
"Oh no." Ross added again as he then felt the wind pick up a bit, that was never a good sign.216Please respect copyright.PENANAZwv7rBKUb0
216Please respect copyright.PENANAgdCbvCm76n
Whenever a sudden gush of wind blew it was always a sign of impending chaos.216Please respect copyright.PENANAaNe477qpsO
216Please respect copyright.PENANAAC6i1M8uJu
"Oh no, no, no, no." Ross said as he felt the world crash around him, he felt like everything was horrid.216Please respect copyright.PENANATzmH5sPqYo
216Please respect copyright.PENANAyk7htyG5O8
Teenage drama, the supernatural, impending doom, chaos with you as the epicenter, madness, vampires and dating.216Please respect copyright.PENANAb5k7zrtsD9
216Please respect copyright.PENANAY5DuIAxfWu
Just another walk down this untroubled lane that Ross found himself on.216Please respect copyright.PENANAIP6NpRudHt
216Please respect copyright.PENANAatoLDnsBz5
The bell rang there and then to signal the start of Highscool.216Please respect copyright.PENANAK7viQLAcDG
216Please respect copyright.PENANAGHDmgdegAA
Just another day in Wonderland.216Please respect copyright.PENANANsBiBOtStT
