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.278Please respect copyright.PENANAPy5WebPPl0
278Please respect copyright.PENANAQlvD0Y4Lcl
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.278Please respect copyright.PENANAluAG3NA26U
278Please respect copyright.PENANAIwktxUtgpY
Am I crazy for thinking that or not crazy for thinking that?278Please respect copyright.PENANAZOXGEhBzUg
278Please respect copyright.PENANAGiv6ej231A
Guess we'll find out soon as another day comes.278Please respect copyright.PENANAajoPhHjzDe

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.278Please respect copyright.PENANAaQ5s3Eives
278Please respect copyright.PENANAGYIKb7tLOO
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.278Please respect copyright.PENANAclgT0h55GI
278Please respect copyright.PENANAMh7HctUy3N
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.278Please respect copyright.PENANAh9mfYNBxeD
278Please respect copyright.PENANANdIx6YEHaf
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.278Please respect copyright.PENANAJcbDFDum4n
278Please respect copyright.PENANAP6AtXJO20t
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.278Please respect copyright.PENANASKgH3tnNo6
278Please respect copyright.PENANAICiAcN4384
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.278Please respect copyright.PENANA0ghSJEeOqb
278Please respect copyright.PENANAJCaRHp62PN
How could the world forget about magic?278Please respect copyright.PENANAOU6PtcCtsi
278Please respect copyright.PENANAtjD10Wx1Vm
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.278Please respect copyright.PENANAfXIjeBMH0E
278Please respect copyright.PENANA9Pkdkpzp8G
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.278Please respect copyright.PENANAEs7wozyuUi
278Please respect copyright.PENANAYTex8AXQ53
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.278Please respect copyright.PENANARJz0WSlC79
278Please respect copyright.PENANAEzIYvZy1Pa
"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.278Please respect copyright.PENANAJwrQzx7MOh
278Please respect copyright.PENANAOIJeZI7bZD
"This is by far the most unique hallucination that I've ever had up until now."278Please respect copyright.PENANAEQNoWajTLB
278Please respect copyright.PENANAZuX4ueRBnV
"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.278Please respect copyright.PENANASsamnN7l8Y
278Please respect copyright.PENANAXPbsnzRG5g
"You know me?"278Please respect copyright.PENANAJJqOlwxpue
278Please respect copyright.PENANAYvvb5V7W6S
"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.278Please respect copyright.PENANAWNgLHf3zpP
278Please respect copyright.PENANAmO9hWTAIln
"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.278Please respect copyright.PENANAzCa3V3wl0k
278Please respect copyright.PENANAkZIzA1I2FJ
"And yet there's no fear. Why is that? Don't you think that vampires are reason enough to fear." The leader asked.278Please respect copyright.PENANABnzjajtOJJ
278Please respect copyright.PENANAmubqTcaqeE
"Why? You don't kill." Ross said and the group of vampires did a double take.278Please respect copyright.PENANAXTmurYLqgs
278Please respect copyright.PENANAMfcXx0u7pm
"H-how did you know that?" The blonde vampire next to the leader said.278Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4WcZ77has
278Please respect copyright.PENANAnfHp1iQM3R
"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."278Please respect copyright.PENANAh6Wl7viZ1n
278Please respect copyright.PENANAAbw2OcmVlv
At that the leader gave a smile and light clap of her hands.278Please respect copyright.PENANAXX57CxDnRd
278Please respect copyright.PENANARKvhVfnV40
"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.278Please respect copyright.PENANAtQ000qIP52
278Please respect copyright.PENANAsXegVHDvqT
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.278Please respect copyright.PENANAtW2xRssGRG
278Please respect copyright.PENANA01ncFBzyMx
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.278Please respect copyright.PENANARNEJqN3ihH
278Please respect copyright.PENANAW9eJGOXtZs
"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.278Please respect copyright.PENANA4T9mp4ybdn
278Please respect copyright.PENANASQxQdsw40u
"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.278Please respect copyright.PENANAaVLPiYnss2
278Please respect copyright.PENANABqUSp43THw
"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.278Please respect copyright.PENANAj36J5s4CXs
278Please respect copyright.PENANAmBbED3PnWr
"You're dating?" Ross asked in surprise.278Please respect copyright.PENANA2yTQf0bqg0
278Please respect copyright.PENANA1xopySVEQJ
"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.278Please respect copyright.PENANAHwgyxiTpho
278Please respect copyright.PENANA4BlDVBGJ7y
"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.278Please respect copyright.PENANAXuslZVO8Wq
278Please respect copyright.PENANANvVrrpiQj8
"No, I'm just a muggle." Ross replied.278Please respect copyright.PENANAeb0Yk9ounQ
278Please respect copyright.PENANA0dGMevPQyD
"How are you taking this so calmly?"278Please respect copyright.PENANA5QNFyJGqiv
278Please respect copyright.PENANAQHl4xF48Yj
"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.278Please respect copyright.PENANAanS2m3pISv
278Please respect copyright.PENANAacLlJ3xVb6
"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.278Please respect copyright.PENANA4FWsDlnFhI
278Please respect copyright.PENANASTrgmA03co
"Sorry about that....I shouldn't have shouted at you." Belladonna said after calming down and morphing back to human form.278Please respect copyright.PENANAMk5DUNLvhF
278Please respect copyright.PENANAvz5T1PhAuy
"Apology accepted, I'm also sorry for my words, didn't mean to offend you."278Please respect copyright.PENANAQSxBv631yD
278Please respect copyright.PENANAuie0Q3EY83
"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.278Please respect copyright.PENANAZk1V9fH7fQ
278Please respect copyright.PENANA3C4xBWXxvT
"Same. Well, I gotta get back and change. See you girls latter, Mickey, Jessie, Belladonna...everyone...bye." Ross said and started jogging again.278Please respect copyright.PENANADnPPQnA455
278Please respect copyright.PENANAs5w1YbAr0a
"See you later. And please call me Donna."278Please respect copyright.PENANAjigD1lWsnL
278Please respect copyright.PENANA3YL38TOlSb
"Whatever you say Miss Belladonna."278Please respect copyright.PENANAkTbxC6PWPE
278Please respect copyright.PENANAgD4nEfKNyM
"Ross, toying with a vampire is never good for your health. So do as I say and call me Donna."278Please respect copyright.PENANAk5jN9zYJvY
278Please respect copyright.PENANAf3s31jUxom
"As Miss Belladonna commands." Ross shouted with a smile on his face as Belladonna could not help but chuckle a bit.278Please respect copyright.PENANAeRUHE2NMLi
278Please respect copyright.PENANArRKglzLx0J
And that was how an encounter with vampires ended, nothing like the stories, but weirder than fiction.278Please respect copyright.PENANADZadVDnsdh
278Please respect copyright.PENANAXs60oqPms5
"Wait, does that mean that this is all real?" Ross asked himself as he held up his medication and wondered whether this was confirmation.278Please respect copyright.PENANAaa7AmpnmCH
278Please respect copyright.PENANAlTCB6ars49
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.278Please respect copyright.PENANA6E71SsHnud
278Please respect copyright.PENANACXhqjm5qLS
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.278Please respect copyright.PENANAwouQVxcPnr
278Please respect copyright.PENANA3PA1Q34udd
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.278Please respect copyright.PENANA39qbHkB1Iv
278Please respect copyright.PENANAgR7oCrgxNl
As he walked down the lane back to his home, he was confident that everything was gonna be fine.278Please respect copyright.PENANAlDYgmHJ3aa
278Please respect copyright.PENANA2yhD71LsHR
And as he did so passed by the various denizens of Calliope, who were all heroes of their own story, noticed him.278Please respect copyright.PENANAuKRJAQBALe
278Please respect copyright.PENANA3RdFWisqQc
And made plans to investigate this 'strange' denizen of their town and his mystery.278Please respect copyright.PENANA3iLCIMc0sD
278Please respect copyright.PENANANCOO1E87d6
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.278Please respect copyright.PENANAemz4XfkuZh
278Please respect copyright.PENANAkw5NE1s0xh
"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.278Please respect copyright.PENANApGsNGVOLXp
278Please respect copyright.PENANAISxEDpiTK1
As he did so he received a text from Hexen.278Please respect copyright.PENANAfXIKJGWl4P
278Please respect copyright.PENANAdaJcbAmK47
"Coffee and sweets so I can complain to you? XOXOXO." 278Please respect copyright.PENANAiZdP56jIoe
278Please respect copyright.PENANA1A48vt4P0C
"Oh no." Ross added again as he then felt the wind pick up a bit, that was never a good sign.278Please respect copyright.PENANAwmrUUCDrEu
278Please respect copyright.PENANADX6MZycC8W
Whenever a sudden gush of wind blew it was always a sign of impending chaos.278Please respect copyright.PENANAu4L1A19tgb
278Please respect copyright.PENANA4YCmVqStya
"Oh no, no, no, no." Ross said as he felt the world crash around him, he felt like everything was horrid.278Please respect copyright.PENANAqhNRyOCNZN
278Please respect copyright.PENANAkepWh5CDly
Teenage drama, the supernatural, impending doom, chaos with you as the epicenter, madness, vampires and dating.278Please respect copyright.PENANAoMdiiUHt6s
278Please respect copyright.PENANAyIPgSTrFxM
Just another walk down this untroubled lane that Ross found himself on.278Please respect copyright.PENANAV92XfulM4S
278Please respect copyright.PENANArnJQhpiV0Y
The bell rang there and then to signal the start of Highscool.278Please respect copyright.PENANARmr1i3bGGl
278Please respect copyright.PENANA26WlJaASri
Just another day in Wonderland.278Please respect copyright.PENANAmIptXhvZAo
