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.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyUm214Dv1
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMWFlmYNhf
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.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSuX2iSnRf
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkzjNihrR5
Am I crazy for thinking that or not crazy for thinking that?283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtuSiTLVh2
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1WNxIiALS
Guess we'll find out soon as another day comes.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9X6KFVoll

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.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoPOtSa73E
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vGjOptSTw
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.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDoxwF6mTW
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1adS5cdjzY
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.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HA7ZoQ9sE
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QxtbYAmLN
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.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ559ro3fuL1
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvXeiZSs8L
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.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqBblQZnxa
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbnZm0DL3L
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.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLm4iD8Cs0
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZUnm9GC1O
How could the world forget about magic?283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhxOO7nRE6
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgarQXU4fFt
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.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFV8RZJZlis
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxi7b5yi8PE
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.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFUs7vNVvS
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbgwvyV6cg
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.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43CyqaGyDh
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvv1SWYMZ2M
"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.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cjfuFubqm
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCysNqTjtn
"This is by far the most unique hallucination that I've ever had up until now."283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajEAWYOahW
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefqgoa9Fai
"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.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmUHURctz5
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYqfG2WNe7
"You know me?"283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBxBAFh3Tj
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrS1L8dQNSb
"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.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGyMSqXGU5
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjbrIXTdfL
"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.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHi2iVoJPf6
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRhgcVAY58
"And yet there's no fear. Why is that? Don't you think that vampires are reason enough to fear." The leader asked.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVL7zeTRV9
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEASpAxqQH9
"Why? You don't kill." Ross said and the group of vampires did a double take.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cPBTQxHgO
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FvbvUI4Az
"H-how did you know that?" The blonde vampire next to the leader said.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoirOg066V4
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUumMFV4vk
"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."283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwvFwSrKm3
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFYeTk0PEv
At that the leader gave a smile and light clap of her hands.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYto0W0ACM
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabZdRqryQR
"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.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrpBfSqnxP
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2lIIz3zor
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.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cv3dpNEs1
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSJNerFAfB
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.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiUZfCnK8w
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ioqlVbg5x
"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.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllZTzmcQXE
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡja9TQEmzKx
"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.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsm7SVqZTsI
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaJ0gqvvbZ
"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.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMh1jo74vi3
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLo9FdX8C4Z
"You're dating?" Ross asked in surprise.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwR6r4hA7MB
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcqVjgTRNi
"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.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuxbMI3hBN
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdNYVozoVD
"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.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskDhG4fAXp
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqTQwxNbt6
"No, I'm just a muggle." Ross replied.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaOcSYFB9f
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90lWuOs7JW
"How are you taking this so calmly?"283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEU0SZchxbO
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUA3X8Y4Er
"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.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo21qYryaKK
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWNI884yTF
"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.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAz0oL2d5V
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOjK3PzLjB
"Sorry about that....I shouldn't have shouted at you." Belladonna said after calming down and morphing back to human form.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW936iZlocX
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRRv7mlN5e
"Apology accepted, I'm also sorry for my words, didn't mean to offend you."283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mE390Esxz
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDkczFKW2x
"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.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdserpw1Qr1
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31F6TmBdcR
"Same. Well, I gotta get back and change. See you girls latter, Mickey, Jessie, Belladonna...everyone...bye." Ross said and started jogging again.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQoxDxM1WG
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pEr1BK9Yn
"See you later. And please call me Donna."283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMs3MEhAJ6h
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NXU02hygr
"Whatever you say Miss Belladonna."283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszzW2KXrQm
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcBQO3v4XA
"Ross, toying with a vampire is never good for your health. So do as I say and call me Donna."283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJMCfyCJdZ
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2RrGTYR7b
"As Miss Belladonna commands." Ross shouted with a smile on his face as Belladonna could not help but chuckle a bit.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriaOHlxsvp
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZe8jl3RLUE
And that was how an encounter with vampires ended, nothing like the stories, but weirder than fiction.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpN0u6bw4x
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRoW4km9Or
"Wait, does that mean that this is all real?" Ross asked himself as he held up his medication and wondered whether this was confirmation.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vye0MGi91
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsf00zTcnm
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.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYBR37bbgO
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQ3FjHbCfL
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.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCFbGmOL95
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LK8CRZEjC
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.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJe7jA0ea2m
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewUItbydBq
As he walked down the lane back to his home, he was confident that everything was gonna be fine.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyr7mJVBxGR
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4fYPEL0uP
And as he did so passed by the various denizens of Calliope, who were all heroes of their own story, noticed him.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1s5Ufpz4F
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKnovy2Tos
And made plans to investigate this 'strange' denizen of their town and his mystery.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLDY6x4625
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kPt3Xh1Lv
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.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3gX69n2iY
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9esZRt8pb
"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.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjm8BP8tWO
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwR1ciN5on
As he did so he received a text from Hexen.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseXoWWE4QB
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfi8yXsR1w
"Coffee and sweets so I can complain to you? XOXOXO." 283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPPoFpjtX3
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPTqNN3if9
"Oh no." Ross added again as he then felt the wind pick up a bit, that was never a good sign.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLG0XvauKx4
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KBJLCjmLn
Whenever a sudden gush of wind blew it was always a sign of impending chaos.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFnLXxMZ62
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXUhrxEYfu
"Oh no, no, no, no." Ross said as he felt the world crash around him, he felt like everything was horrid.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFgxmMeK5s
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mIP2QK4qb
Teenage drama, the supernatural, impending doom, chaos with you as the epicenter, madness, vampires and dating.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIdwdV1E6e
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb85QWfmOYw
Just another walk down this untroubled lane that Ross found himself on.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUhapyaZbR
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRrQ0DRghz
The bell rang there and then to signal the start of Highscool.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOna3hBVEiy
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1dzHlSdDs
Just another day in Wonderland.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciYwqhEGxT
