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.323Please respect copyright.PENANADxO2ULgeOF
323Please respect copyright.PENANAZcUlY7x9bR
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.323Please respect copyright.PENANAdnDkSDcuGw
323Please respect copyright.PENANAu8FCJwhNxC
Am I crazy for thinking that or not crazy for thinking that?323Please respect copyright.PENANAtOo4YTw7ir
323Please respect copyright.PENANAHXeYAvc3Pv
Guess we'll find out soon as another day comes.323Please respect copyright.PENANAB0nXPzvNBb

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.323Please respect copyright.PENANAQbG0BnsP98
323Please respect copyright.PENANAHtHsV0F1sg
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.323Please respect copyright.PENANA5A3nLiJm89
323Please respect copyright.PENANAyrgPW0Qr5C
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.323Please respect copyright.PENANA9AnUUImb8f
323Please respect copyright.PENANAVaEEmZMDXl
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.323Please respect copyright.PENANAmlIkNvabUe
323Please respect copyright.PENANAFMpcmmNlPx
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.323Please respect copyright.PENANAYGcsprlk5C
323Please respect copyright.PENANAKCEfwXlVUj
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.323Please respect copyright.PENANAC0hKTZWoPs
323Please respect copyright.PENANA8FV8sDsBwh
How could the world forget about magic?323Please respect copyright.PENANAueTHfY6zNA
323Please respect copyright.PENANAwVYxZYaSwR
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.323Please respect copyright.PENANArR0NdoQUvd
323Please respect copyright.PENANAw52sLue5RR
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.323Please respect copyright.PENANAn1misElKJ5
323Please respect copyright.PENANANP6kk3AhHg
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.323Please respect copyright.PENANAdarbRUSZ2R
323Please respect copyright.PENANA8jnuk9uI6k
"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.323Please respect copyright.PENANAp0P38GZ7kf
323Please respect copyright.PENANABGCxabOOct
"This is by far the most unique hallucination that I've ever had up until now."323Please respect copyright.PENANAaCtDTmLH4z
323Please respect copyright.PENANAOP1zmZ0BWY
"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.323Please respect copyright.PENANA51Wl2KRUoA
323Please respect copyright.PENANA3liafgUss4
"You know me?"323Please respect copyright.PENANATq7ntxBNxU
323Please respect copyright.PENANAQy9VvEsVKt
"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.323Please respect copyright.PENANAiuHUMRl0Vn
323Please respect copyright.PENANAq7B1I0CF6Z
"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.323Please respect copyright.PENANAExPeULIKjN
323Please respect copyright.PENANAriu37RVKZN
"And yet there's no fear. Why is that? Don't you think that vampires are reason enough to fear." The leader asked.323Please respect copyright.PENANAqpu27jSLtU
323Please respect copyright.PENANAG5SFEuwloU
"Why? You don't kill." Ross said and the group of vampires did a double take.323Please respect copyright.PENANAHjfehFffkh
323Please respect copyright.PENANA1bY5fZEmSP
"H-how did you know that?" The blonde vampire next to the leader said.323Please respect copyright.PENANAqr6QrbzfoS
323Please respect copyright.PENANAD5UMrr0DaT
"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."323Please respect copyright.PENANA84bJNQdLvz
323Please respect copyright.PENANAt0FTASZalq
At that the leader gave a smile and light clap of her hands.323Please respect copyright.PENANANvxUmTscTy
323Please respect copyright.PENANAZD2GQ8uLka
"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.323Please respect copyright.PENANAEhULiXoBJb
323Please respect copyright.PENANAnt38G0RWIe
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.323Please respect copyright.PENANAojQbJ8cQJb
323Please respect copyright.PENANAEH3rMJ2QG8
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.323Please respect copyright.PENANAPD3oGgmkPU
323Please respect copyright.PENANAcA8ZtC1h32
"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.323Please respect copyright.PENANAQI48cokmSh
323Please respect copyright.PENANAnToFQaGHom
"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.323Please respect copyright.PENANAqysJjLJXkW
323Please respect copyright.PENANAAMlb1R5dOy
"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.323Please respect copyright.PENANAPbRR5LjYJI
323Please respect copyright.PENANA4EpauJCzT0
"You're dating?" Ross asked in surprise.323Please respect copyright.PENANAOFYbJXVuem
323Please respect copyright.PENANAn29BDwa46v
"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.323Please respect copyright.PENANArTtLDssCoA
323Please respect copyright.PENANAZu3vFpiBAf
"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.323Please respect copyright.PENANAHPXUTzf5PF
323Please respect copyright.PENANAQAcvPADuJF
"No, I'm just a muggle." Ross replied.323Please respect copyright.PENANAVAwcD2Qp5Y
323Please respect copyright.PENANAzgNCHFGBNV
"How are you taking this so calmly?"323Please respect copyright.PENANALBOKf9DWJp
323Please respect copyright.PENANAJJeq6QGXEs
"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.323Please respect copyright.PENANA06JgoqmLZb
323Please respect copyright.PENANAm5ZFJoV5hd
"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.323Please respect copyright.PENANAdQ5gn0fLu4
323Please respect copyright.PENANA7Tj7GisL7B
"Sorry about that....I shouldn't have shouted at you." Belladonna said after calming down and morphing back to human form.323Please respect copyright.PENANA8lnBvowfoM
323Please respect copyright.PENANAE67cy2cYD2
"Apology accepted, I'm also sorry for my words, didn't mean to offend you."323Please respect copyright.PENANALtzRGo3UQc
323Please respect copyright.PENANAnrXYbMCTZT
"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.323Please respect copyright.PENANAkjWKlhdmHa
323Please respect copyright.PENANAnuXdEJp6jA
"Same. Well, I gotta get back and change. See you girls latter, Mickey, Jessie, Belladonna...everyone...bye." Ross said and started jogging again.323Please respect copyright.PENANAzj7h1Mci9U
323Please respect copyright.PENANAjAC67wLPhf
"See you later. And please call me Donna."323Please respect copyright.PENANAWMDjePQjxn
323Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0IX6ejLmB
"Whatever you say Miss Belladonna."323Please respect copyright.PENANAb5Eijk8ah2
323Please respect copyright.PENANAEza7JdRc8M
"Ross, toying with a vampire is never good for your health. So do as I say and call me Donna."323Please respect copyright.PENANAnLkTd0Hl7I
323Please respect copyright.PENANAm6olY4D05D
"As Miss Belladonna commands." Ross shouted with a smile on his face as Belladonna could not help but chuckle a bit.323Please respect copyright.PENANAx9ouZjyHOz
323Please respect copyright.PENANAuSe0TfrVCK
And that was how an encounter with vampires ended, nothing like the stories, but weirder than fiction.323Please respect copyright.PENANAntUZrQUwDd
323Please respect copyright.PENANAoSUQMJJG24
"Wait, does that mean that this is all real?" Ross asked himself as he held up his medication and wondered whether this was confirmation.323Please respect copyright.PENANAIaVaTbXNFx
323Please respect copyright.PENANAgCMkvthMuz
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.323Please respect copyright.PENANA6OFyxAfpVC
323Please respect copyright.PENANAAHiUVC0703
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.323Please respect copyright.PENANAE5LAg1sxII
323Please respect copyright.PENANABDywFFzdH8
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.323Please respect copyright.PENANAOZh79HynZS
323Please respect copyright.PENANAyZExniQEYS
As he walked down the lane back to his home, he was confident that everything was gonna be fine.323Please respect copyright.PENANAHV3zAqQvQB
323Please respect copyright.PENANARtkyTSZUl3
And as he did so passed by the various denizens of Calliope, who were all heroes of their own story, noticed him.323Please respect copyright.PENANA3eyFkW4PFi
323Please respect copyright.PENANADMYPQLnRJs
And made plans to investigate this 'strange' denizen of their town and his mystery.323Please respect copyright.PENANAJ82DTsTQ1d
323Please respect copyright.PENANA04rJTGTDGz
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.323Please respect copyright.PENANAcfeepqbsOm
323Please respect copyright.PENANALJD4Bisvdb
"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.323Please respect copyright.PENANAjrOyerX09Z
323Please respect copyright.PENANAWvIf3lgFBc
As he did so he received a text from Hexen.323Please respect copyright.PENANAyeQao0T0JN
323Please respect copyright.PENANAnZRuyeii5n
"Coffee and sweets so I can complain to you? XOXOXO." 323Please respect copyright.PENANAgasd0xBNsA
323Please respect copyright.PENANAZjACP0alka
"Oh no." Ross added again as he then felt the wind pick up a bit, that was never a good sign.323Please respect copyright.PENANAbeWz9BWcLI
323Please respect copyright.PENANAzdLdbxnmbN
Whenever a sudden gush of wind blew it was always a sign of impending chaos.323Please respect copyright.PENANANfdnac9HXC
323Please respect copyright.PENANA5yAPP1SHgA
"Oh no, no, no, no." Ross said as he felt the world crash around him, he felt like everything was horrid.323Please respect copyright.PENANA5JjkBTGq9Y
323Please respect copyright.PENANA1OUCV2V0aV
Teenage drama, the supernatural, impending doom, chaos with you as the epicenter, madness, vampires and dating.323Please respect copyright.PENANAZeMANSmaEU
323Please respect copyright.PENANA1Z60YVopHl
Just another walk down this untroubled lane that Ross found himself on.323Please respect copyright.PENANAUi09mbLqlZ
323Please respect copyright.PENANAH6yf25yA8P
The bell rang there and then to signal the start of Highscool.323Please respect copyright.PENANAOyQSZ8y2LC
323Please respect copyright.PENANAJJt3ABjwXt
Just another day in Wonderland.323Please respect copyright.PENANArH7fC1uv4G
