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.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7nYI2oMtT
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2yFAZWAt0
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.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmz5JyEsUTO
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUny0iUle5p
Am I crazy for thinking that or not crazy for thinking that?217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZIZ2oS2X6
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDnLBTtRs5
Guess we'll find out soon as another day comes.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9X1sR0V2K2

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.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYg9gqVuzYO
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGLdwtTPuw
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.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjQcCcaZ6P
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mmM9DyWMn
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.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2FQ7oHMfM
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2L36jHR3Q
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.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTZ7cmepjU
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91JeuhJM3M
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.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgKWpQpy8O
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHWLj64a3c
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.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbviEzq4bUU
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbTTSz8cTq
How could the world forget about magic?217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYY0aas8bF8
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFQwsattOZ
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.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSmjus8E17
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53OKSrpBEw
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.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoGxheojoT
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjbAoOm0jC
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.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5GY7OmLE2
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XlZUAMmo0
"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.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTA3EfcRc8M
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjG35RYg4yO
"This is by far the most unique hallucination that I've ever had up until now."217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hEL9I64XZ
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85HdufmnGM
"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.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡag8gSA94hY
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsqYQRG4SP
"You know me?"217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazsz0kzxOm
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3xC2WMcss
"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.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoMvT9aiIr
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6iajOQBFD
"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.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23cSPwng4D
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwozP8hhTe
"And yet there's no fear. Why is that? Don't you think that vampires are reason enough to fear." The leader asked.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKrQpDVy1o
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrtxHskLwg
"Why? You don't kill." Ross said and the group of vampires did a double take.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObjFvZXBja
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmFl14Q8st
"H-how did you know that?" The blonde vampire next to the leader said.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz10NILLllt
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOG2BylJBl
"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."217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVzERtAKxo
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngSfLslJFy
At that the leader gave a smile and light clap of her hands.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPwRAUqcWA
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MbqNzHtCa
"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.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJ4bC7vNb4
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxo4rIhz68
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.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCZuQW6NJH
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBB0Ggp88U7
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.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWVyseFKz2
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1kIpnMdDn
"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.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvbqla9PHi
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKu1Uszkwn
"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.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDO2Q8uZQJ
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBayj1Tdp2
"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.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqVPPVrbgq
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJPLENDQ7V
"You're dating?" Ross asked in surprise.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUn6XMzI7X
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkUtHAbdKz
"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.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ehYIg882K
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsnJGdsgrx
"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.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMto4Qljd3W
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5plSrbn2k
"No, I'm just a muggle." Ross replied.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwc6Oeu4zO
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgp1Xp2h0T
"How are you taking this so calmly?"217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe77VWWqc5W
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2m7ZHD5Bk
"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.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjHiSQ0jDm
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXjzgFF45z
"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.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwTU8N4WAt
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75ReMDUtwu
"Sorry about that....I shouldn't have shouted at you." Belladonna said after calming down and morphing back to human form.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbPMPnBZGn
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYBZkIvgE2
"Apology accepted, I'm also sorry for my words, didn't mean to offend you."217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NHWGbLyTq
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZx8qF0ASKC
"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.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZ3fyA6Yq3
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMKHLytX1j
"Same. Well, I gotta get back and change. See you girls latter, Mickey, Jessie, Belladonna...everyone...bye." Ross said and started jogging again.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5bH3lbf4Y
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLxGa6qwgT
"See you later. And please call me Donna."217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsU3kF0ijhb
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28tEFzrKYh
"Whatever you say Miss Belladonna."217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRDqvBAPuo
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUUzMcrvxP
"Ross, toying with a vampire is never good for your health. So do as I say and call me Donna."217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFhJGh0TeH
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1UHnbfFoA
"As Miss Belladonna commands." Ross shouted with a smile on his face as Belladonna could not help but chuckle a bit.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvT9R0VMrl
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTjRrzHIGL
And that was how an encounter with vampires ended, nothing like the stories, but weirder than fiction.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0OGCoBjZE
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVxd5duM6c
"Wait, does that mean that this is all real?" Ross asked himself as he held up his medication and wondered whether this was confirmation.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrz87ZDBtlk
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZH5CCaRzf
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.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg53e6pwQdX
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAoInumP8a
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.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOgIVjril2
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhEoeebkwC
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.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdQ9pOXilm
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJTSARyq2p
As he walked down the lane back to his home, he was confident that everything was gonna be fine.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVRdUG9aeN
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI773XlnHl1
And as he did so passed by the various denizens of Calliope, who were all heroes of their own story, noticed him.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGTf8qeNkH
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsE8wRjKYF
And made plans to investigate this 'strange' denizen of their town and his mystery.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiVAWEooET
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8E74tEaDdw
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.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HhPOdD7bW
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89dJDPGz4I
"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.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdRUodxXdJ
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7yFtvyl1x
As he did so he received a text from Hexen.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKT7o7xCgr9
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsIrT2smhN
"Coffee and sweets so I can complain to you? XOXOXO." 217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJw8LCF08n
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0tAnTS0ia
"Oh no." Ross added again as he then felt the wind pick up a bit, that was never a good sign.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmWDCcn0tV
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrbKvBXpzJ
Whenever a sudden gush of wind blew it was always a sign of impending chaos.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxT39YKc0P
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGnTqhRZXW
"Oh no, no, no, no." Ross said as he felt the world crash around him, he felt like everything was horrid.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1xKUAwl9u
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnPUDMDu08
Teenage drama, the supernatural, impending doom, chaos with you as the epicenter, madness, vampires and dating.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6v9mGJkNd
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuvF970tHz
Just another walk down this untroubled lane that Ross found himself on.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODZjlM7e1q
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡET5fY9tD97
The bell rang there and then to signal the start of Highscool.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZVy2VX7Bo
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgyNeAyFST
Just another day in Wonderland.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYE8GKQbLm
