170Please respect copyright.PENANAYiWLWK9kbV
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.170Please respect copyright.PENANATCR8VhRKeu
170Please respect copyright.PENANAPe6KIyW8OE
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.170Please respect copyright.PENANAIrjlXbceGB
170Please respect copyright.PENANAlmXoSFtBx4
Am I crazy for thinking that or not crazy for thinking that?170Please respect copyright.PENANA11xpSIaIR3
170Please respect copyright.PENANAa7YpA3A0yQ
Guess we'll find out soon as another day comes.170Please respect copyright.PENANAl3aw41dEjn

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.170Please respect copyright.PENANAWBhH7oyPCC
170Please respect copyright.PENANAwL9KgB0ZHF
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.170Please respect copyright.PENANA93grEcRY7y
170Please respect copyright.PENANApy8rt4A2zA
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.170Please respect copyright.PENANAaJGFhj0xIW
170Please respect copyright.PENANAxgwBev1MjO
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.170Please respect copyright.PENANAYScgYchPW8
170Please respect copyright.PENANAo9d0ALaF6Y
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.170Please respect copyright.PENANAwJl6sFFKHT
170Please respect copyright.PENANAVRwPKLA9Jo
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.170Please respect copyright.PENANAabN3pVbSwd
170Please respect copyright.PENANAdbOPloGJRP
How could the world forget about magic?170Please respect copyright.PENANAMrLm55f7MQ
170Please respect copyright.PENANAbjGXrrhLjB
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.170Please respect copyright.PENANA5SH1lFwy3I
170Please respect copyright.PENANA4ud2ANqucF
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.170Please respect copyright.PENANAppa2lr40Rg
170Please respect copyright.PENANAJEfWVCLmRf
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.170Please respect copyright.PENANAmZ3fmVHOVK
170Please respect copyright.PENANASPHrwk9NgX
"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.170Please respect copyright.PENANAzSWEdZqwny
170Please respect copyright.PENANAPbeDeutyVz
"This is by far the most unique hallucination that I've ever had up until now."170Please respect copyright.PENANAkyPb6AFdKX
170Please respect copyright.PENANA9BIB8WIi9R
"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.170Please respect copyright.PENANAk5tighO32i
170Please respect copyright.PENANAKRED2ydh7i
"You know me?"170Please respect copyright.PENANAWMKop9G2yW
170Please respect copyright.PENANAbJ96ojnpq2
"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.170Please respect copyright.PENANADubjrW51ox
170Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1ePOAjiN4
"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.170Please respect copyright.PENANAQRsvQqR861
170Please respect copyright.PENANAUlJjyPDkDD
"And yet there's no fear. Why is that? Don't you think that vampires are reason enough to fear." The leader asked.170Please respect copyright.PENANAJhbVQX9SZd
170Please respect copyright.PENANAb16y9GQhRP
"Why? You don't kill." Ross said and the group of vampires did a double take.170Please respect copyright.PENANAurmQSaRv1q
170Please respect copyright.PENANAGkPJmflSXP
"H-how did you know that?" The blonde vampire next to the leader said.170Please respect copyright.PENANAFgs7cT3xgn
170Please respect copyright.PENANATRItRUwTrB
"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."170Please respect copyright.PENANA8yf5y1Ej7I
170Please respect copyright.PENANAF0rNG2PUSr
At that the leader gave a smile and light clap of her hands.170Please respect copyright.PENANAIESrpYnlm5
170Please respect copyright.PENANAMTgKGV1ouS
"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.170Please respect copyright.PENANAFXAp2rYjfe
170Please respect copyright.PENANAWyyjFhB2xN
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.170Please respect copyright.PENANAl7TLF10rPy
170Please respect copyright.PENANAJMMdrd2or7
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.170Please respect copyright.PENANAVNVyAq1XBs
170Please respect copyright.PENANAqzFuZAjQI1
"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.170Please respect copyright.PENANABvZmZZ5JE2
170Please respect copyright.PENANAAdiodpzarA
"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.170Please respect copyright.PENANAO6QimtlB4B
170Please respect copyright.PENANAeoRj9w18IN
"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.170Please respect copyright.PENANA7xnrFgZeJg
170Please respect copyright.PENANAOqjIzoCXwZ
"You're dating?" Ross asked in surprise.170Please respect copyright.PENANAOoAjcm93yb
170Please respect copyright.PENANA2dLZ6qhR6W
"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.170Please respect copyright.PENANATisZe7ubkN
170Please respect copyright.PENANAPIZhr9Anly
"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.170Please respect copyright.PENANAJVbapi48EK
170Please respect copyright.PENANAHrCfOsOyfA
"No, I'm just a muggle." Ross replied.170Please respect copyright.PENANAlrF8EqNMoR
170Please respect copyright.PENANAkifgNIhZXa
"How are you taking this so calmly?"170Please respect copyright.PENANAwfkAYX5np9
170Please respect copyright.PENANAsywMwyH2Wx
"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.170Please respect copyright.PENANAaDE8FG2Yqg
170Please respect copyright.PENANA78By82eiav
"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.170Please respect copyright.PENANAaLiwp62wg3
170Please respect copyright.PENANANaihlxtTnH
"Sorry about that....I shouldn't have shouted at you." Belladonna said after calming down and morphing back to human form.170Please respect copyright.PENANADdxdJ2YBCg
170Please respect copyright.PENANA03FeOFQ1bj
"Apology accepted, I'm also sorry for my words, didn't mean to offend you."170Please respect copyright.PENANAz7sibk5jUs
170Please respect copyright.PENANAYjpnjfp2I3
"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.170Please respect copyright.PENANAalQxAfpoe8
170Please respect copyright.PENANATAJkAoHqfg
"Same. Well, I gotta get back and change. See you girls latter, Mickey, Jessie, Belladonna...everyone...bye." Ross said and started jogging again.170Please respect copyright.PENANAh7tfUjVzjJ
170Please respect copyright.PENANAk9NDkcbUCA
"See you later. And please call me Donna."170Please respect copyright.PENANAGx6rejMz3W
170Please respect copyright.PENANASSxsYS3pqR
"Whatever you say Miss Belladonna."170Please respect copyright.PENANAsdiKSPO76g
170Please respect copyright.PENANARPBnvOCYLs
"Ross, toying with a vampire is never good for your health. So do as I say and call me Donna."170Please respect copyright.PENANAgGMWQUHesc
170Please respect copyright.PENANAGeosAkonAr
"As Miss Belladonna commands." Ross shouted with a smile on his face as Belladonna could not help but chuckle a bit.170Please respect copyright.PENANAZaznXqiDA0
170Please respect copyright.PENANAAejnNQAok1
And that was how an encounter with vampires ended, nothing like the stories, but weirder than fiction.170Please respect copyright.PENANA0nezGccRKu
170Please respect copyright.PENANAZtLMDIlOVO
"Wait, does that mean that this is all real?" Ross asked himself as he held up his medication and wondered whether this was confirmation.170Please respect copyright.PENANAzdEkiIwSya
170Please respect copyright.PENANAjGWqh1nYsk
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.170Please respect copyright.PENANAvciG9CsvaF
170Please respect copyright.PENANAP5bXrnEwmA
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.170Please respect copyright.PENANAbK4qCXRt5B
170Please respect copyright.PENANA5QORINgFyv
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.170Please respect copyright.PENANAcVIbg21Kun
170Please respect copyright.PENANAhvyGXYfOLt
As he walked down the lane back to his home, he was confident that everything was gonna be fine.170Please respect copyright.PENANAmpa0kkZQcc
170Please respect copyright.PENANA8zUVth8bZ3
And as he did so passed by the various denizens of Calliope, who were all heroes of their own story, noticed him.170Please respect copyright.PENANAGFONPWtIB8
170Please respect copyright.PENANAbbkeRTUdm7
And made plans to investigate this 'strange' denizen of their town and his mystery.170Please respect copyright.PENANASrAcWtuF99
170Please respect copyright.PENANA4ufd7xKyJx
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.170Please respect copyright.PENANAhy2r0tTnm7
170Please respect copyright.PENANA8kAwot1lY0
"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.170Please respect copyright.PENANAHMkLtuxYXl
170Please respect copyright.PENANABTedt7oVuv
As he did so he received a text from Hexen.170Please respect copyright.PENANAkNunsgeeNT
170Please respect copyright.PENANAjrLVUCFiHF
"Coffee and sweets so I can complain to you? XOXOXO." 170Please respect copyright.PENANAYy8GV3ubnj
170Please respect copyright.PENANAd5tKaKEkWP
"Oh no." Ross added again as he then felt the wind pick up a bit, that was never a good sign.170Please respect copyright.PENANApqNJ7765Zv
170Please respect copyright.PENANAZNpaoZpVOK
Whenever a sudden gush of wind blew it was always a sign of impending chaos.170Please respect copyright.PENANA2PSczLBtTv
170Please respect copyright.PENANAkMQQZqePFh
"Oh no, no, no, no." Ross said as he felt the world crash around him, he felt like everything was horrid.170Please respect copyright.PENANAIZhIl68p0x
170Please respect copyright.PENANAlgG3OsE4wd
Teenage drama, the supernatural, impending doom, chaos with you as the epicenter, madness, vampires and dating.170Please respect copyright.PENANAR0PA3jXA7D
170Please respect copyright.PENANAH18m82UKl1
Just another walk down this untroubled lane that Ross found himself on.170Please respect copyright.PENANAiyaFuXmh2I
170Please respect copyright.PENANA933WyO9yYJ
The bell rang there and then to signal the start of Highscool.170Please respect copyright.PENANA6xMGKNwJDf
170Please respect copyright.PENANATW911e1UsO
Just another day in Wonderland.170Please respect copyright.PENANAakFywTtEo3
