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.263Please respect copyright.PENANA2LNXpML5n6
263Please respect copyright.PENANAOxbwsV2QQS
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.263Please respect copyright.PENANAMUmhIeQyIc
263Please respect copyright.PENANAUyr8MM4uj3
Am I crazy for thinking that or not crazy for thinking that?263Please respect copyright.PENANAZySLQWojUT
263Please respect copyright.PENANAEDzoObUiDI
Guess we'll find out soon as another day comes.263Please respect copyright.PENANAEv194KjdJW

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.263Please respect copyright.PENANAYm7dWZId8P
263Please respect copyright.PENANA61Iz9Wc8uf
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.263Please respect copyright.PENANAtCcziy9Rm8
263Please respect copyright.PENANAu8Q1IuSlNZ
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.263Please respect copyright.PENANA5TvC3JR2gW
263Please respect copyright.PENANA4zV64bc4GF
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.263Please respect copyright.PENANAkXp47w5sF6
263Please respect copyright.PENANABLrpVcEUHV
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.263Please respect copyright.PENANALbppV1NdDN
263Please respect copyright.PENANA4yn6vlJcwn
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.263Please respect copyright.PENANA1CBW2QaO1r
263Please respect copyright.PENANAsxpnApZgXX
How could the world forget about magic?263Please respect copyright.PENANAuPamsHBoYe
263Please respect copyright.PENANAl0PxzveZCV
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.263Please respect copyright.PENANAFU2f54gEIf
263Please respect copyright.PENANAYMY0QwMmOw
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.263Please respect copyright.PENANAC36Aoa1RlT
263Please respect copyright.PENANAbOdgmM6GZK
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.263Please respect copyright.PENANAtpi6pTyrWm
263Please respect copyright.PENANAmQoUZ7dktt
"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.263Please respect copyright.PENANAdsB0mDBVIL
263Please respect copyright.PENANAw2ZtvOdKac
"This is by far the most unique hallucination that I've ever had up until now."263Please respect copyright.PENANAsoGu8mbfkk
263Please respect copyright.PENANAgKp2EFaV39
"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.263Please respect copyright.PENANAgWJtYG4sDL
263Please respect copyright.PENANADm5rhYDre6
"You know me?"263Please respect copyright.PENANABb1PGITqrF
263Please respect copyright.PENANAMnkKHMljGt
"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.263Please respect copyright.PENANAAYdMWz1ydd
263Please respect copyright.PENANAp1ujjR03bL
"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.263Please respect copyright.PENANAe0aIpfus0v
263Please respect copyright.PENANA7QXqNaV8M2
"And yet there's no fear. Why is that? Don't you think that vampires are reason enough to fear." The leader asked.263Please respect copyright.PENANA51iCdIcJ3t
263Please respect copyright.PENANAtHe3KHNJqO
"Why? You don't kill." Ross said and the group of vampires did a double take.263Please respect copyright.PENANAq2ANfj5rqX
263Please respect copyright.PENANA58JR6qUP84
"H-how did you know that?" The blonde vampire next to the leader said.263Please respect copyright.PENANAZyzSunpgVy
263Please respect copyright.PENANAWYYSclhktN
"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."263Please respect copyright.PENANAagPSLOXtJ6
263Please respect copyright.PENANAk2n7DQX8rk
At that the leader gave a smile and light clap of her hands.263Please respect copyright.PENANAmqJlD3fphw
263Please respect copyright.PENANAG3yIoDAmmr
"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.263Please respect copyright.PENANAU5VBJt2T5H
263Please respect copyright.PENANAlILuCDJOt8
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.263Please respect copyright.PENANAJtwiciTyPR
263Please respect copyright.PENANAsOJ34p8J53
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.263Please respect copyright.PENANAQdNtJVcMEX
263Please respect copyright.PENANAxZ0hlAnB4n
"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.263Please respect copyright.PENANAwsnawHq41S
263Please respect copyright.PENANAhavZTbV2uF
"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.263Please respect copyright.PENANAAP91nfg4hD
263Please respect copyright.PENANAdfNwR8Wjbc
"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.263Please respect copyright.PENANA27oEGUdVMW
263Please respect copyright.PENANAuyVlcy3Hwv
"You're dating?" Ross asked in surprise.263Please respect copyright.PENANAX3ErqBWu5S
263Please respect copyright.PENANAY1gmZlBSKO
"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.263Please respect copyright.PENANAZFflIc9kIT
263Please respect copyright.PENANAGQaL4chIGG
"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.263Please respect copyright.PENANAVhYTicKQXi
263Please respect copyright.PENANAYKdPL4D2Zu
"No, I'm just a muggle." Ross replied.263Please respect copyright.PENANAf0XQSoFUo5
263Please respect copyright.PENANAnYwZ449dpb
"How are you taking this so calmly?"263Please respect copyright.PENANAfGzsMNj9Vw
263Please respect copyright.PENANAQPUIqoCxFF
"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.263Please respect copyright.PENANASNFcMZJQG7
263Please respect copyright.PENANAIiXIRTBp0o
"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.263Please respect copyright.PENANASILDrSWxsL
263Please respect copyright.PENANAZI7irCB9xS
"Sorry about that....I shouldn't have shouted at you." Belladonna said after calming down and morphing back to human form.263Please respect copyright.PENANAe1kpePeSfB
263Please respect copyright.PENANAng5HlrI590
"Apology accepted, I'm also sorry for my words, didn't mean to offend you."263Please respect copyright.PENANARyx3d3AwLk
263Please respect copyright.PENANAeCDYxFxtFc
"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.263Please respect copyright.PENANASTTYCTgDi7
263Please respect copyright.PENANAuw9nLRG97L
"Same. Well, I gotta get back and change. See you girls latter, Mickey, Jessie, Belladonna...everyone...bye." Ross said and started jogging again.263Please respect copyright.PENANAh2lrbcb8K2
263Please respect copyright.PENANAUWhGHOimrV
"See you later. And please call me Donna."263Please respect copyright.PENANARRK5WO3kIJ
263Please respect copyright.PENANAvFgyvAIB8d
"Whatever you say Miss Belladonna."263Please respect copyright.PENANAQHmyaUSVwX
263Please respect copyright.PENANAEntyQnvkJQ
"Ross, toying with a vampire is never good for your health. So do as I say and call me Donna."263Please respect copyright.PENANAPRRXCraIxV
263Please respect copyright.PENANA6K8vqVwOKd
"As Miss Belladonna commands." Ross shouted with a smile on his face as Belladonna could not help but chuckle a bit.263Please respect copyright.PENANAY51EJdqQvK
263Please respect copyright.PENANAw0eF6FBBiP
And that was how an encounter with vampires ended, nothing like the stories, but weirder than fiction.263Please respect copyright.PENANAziB0WWzxfm
263Please respect copyright.PENANAnGEIpJqmOi
"Wait, does that mean that this is all real?" Ross asked himself as he held up his medication and wondered whether this was confirmation.263Please respect copyright.PENANAAlNrbZ1brm
263Please respect copyright.PENANA5OeDLGs4Ex
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.263Please respect copyright.PENANAgPWdtoCYad
263Please respect copyright.PENANAaPmYd31S5H
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.263Please respect copyright.PENANAjGKYbswc2R
263Please respect copyright.PENANA4C2HUMHEMn
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.263Please respect copyright.PENANANSTnbz5HhU
263Please respect copyright.PENANAP9cCtpGD6B
As he walked down the lane back to his home, he was confident that everything was gonna be fine.263Please respect copyright.PENANAnDaiNisbEC
263Please respect copyright.PENANAdcliLc6ARl
And as he did so passed by the various denizens of Calliope, who were all heroes of their own story, noticed him.263Please respect copyright.PENANAkh2WFQcvgi
263Please respect copyright.PENANApmnZcbbGJI
And made plans to investigate this 'strange' denizen of their town and his mystery.263Please respect copyright.PENANAwnjTwbNeJ8
263Please respect copyright.PENANAaoP7UpWjqs
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.263Please respect copyright.PENANA8i770ThpV4
263Please respect copyright.PENANAEC4pGvOh3E
"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.263Please respect copyright.PENANAHiVIMPyLPz
263Please respect copyright.PENANAb4rC0priiG
As he did so he received a text from Hexen.263Please respect copyright.PENANADxffx7sMH3
263Please respect copyright.PENANA5xWH2teESk
"Coffee and sweets so I can complain to you? XOXOXO." 263Please respect copyright.PENANAbQLCIlXNnc
263Please respect copyright.PENANAo04kfhnrNB
"Oh no." Ross added again as he then felt the wind pick up a bit, that was never a good sign.263Please respect copyright.PENANAZCkT8mN7BI
263Please respect copyright.PENANAss1xA3L3Zk
Whenever a sudden gush of wind blew it was always a sign of impending chaos.263Please respect copyright.PENANARfE5sA94EV
263Please respect copyright.PENANAcgkU5ZQBNZ
"Oh no, no, no, no." Ross said as he felt the world crash around him, he felt like everything was horrid.263Please respect copyright.PENANAmR1lJZVAI9
263Please respect copyright.PENANAX0m5VlNLDE
Teenage drama, the supernatural, impending doom, chaos with you as the epicenter, madness, vampires and dating.263Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0jMtSNISY
263Please respect copyright.PENANA5aZumbQxan
Just another walk down this untroubled lane that Ross found himself on.263Please respect copyright.PENANAjPUPyK3Xg7
263Please respect copyright.PENANAdou01tAiUA
The bell rang there and then to signal the start of Highscool.263Please respect copyright.PENANAvVqD5T36XL
263Please respect copyright.PENANA6oenN9UjzM
Just another day in Wonderland.263Please respect copyright.PENANAjO41xP6ilF
