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.320Please respect copyright.PENANAkiRf4V7Ewc
320Please respect copyright.PENANA31x66zwwfY
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.320Please respect copyright.PENANA9LYPccLvra
320Please respect copyright.PENANA9jkvUJxAQK
Am I crazy for thinking that or not crazy for thinking that?320Please respect copyright.PENANAloCtrGO58E
320Please respect copyright.PENANAfPuP45E5Mc
Guess we'll find out soon as another day comes.320Please respect copyright.PENANAmvP9L7E7hb

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.320Please respect copyright.PENANAVL6ebIpqVM
320Please respect copyright.PENANARU35B6Dk7z
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.320Please respect copyright.PENANArHr7BxNMFO
320Please respect copyright.PENANA9X0QTGfTgd
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.320Please respect copyright.PENANAkCoBHxiRk5
320Please respect copyright.PENANARZHrJSeIZ4
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.320Please respect copyright.PENANAk9AgBzNkSv
320Please respect copyright.PENANAgZaxQj2eND
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.320Please respect copyright.PENANAHORV1BahyZ
320Please respect copyright.PENANAEamP2HqF2z
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.320Please respect copyright.PENANA1H4VVSRu7z
320Please respect copyright.PENANAYt8UODQah2
How could the world forget about magic?320Please respect copyright.PENANAXrdBbz5GbJ
320Please respect copyright.PENANAcpV3t7Wocq
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.320Please respect copyright.PENANAYiRVmetyRi
320Please respect copyright.PENANAmh9ixbggJ7
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.320Please respect copyright.PENANAxUUDa3L62s
320Please respect copyright.PENANAEzq72rjdR4
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.320Please respect copyright.PENANA7L2HO4zkpa
320Please respect copyright.PENANAqwNQav9tlF
"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.320Please respect copyright.PENANAtTJY4WdjrP
320Please respect copyright.PENANAtvUAuHM7M6
"This is by far the most unique hallucination that I've ever had up until now."320Please respect copyright.PENANAvPRPUnaPJY
320Please respect copyright.PENANA2pPWZexDMa
"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.320Please respect copyright.PENANASayKNiI9Vp
320Please respect copyright.PENANAZwn5UHVx5z
"You know me?"320Please respect copyright.PENANAH2vQENDps6
320Please respect copyright.PENANAN9uUm6wJmb
"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.320Please respect copyright.PENANAOXG9zvsEkN
320Please respect copyright.PENANA8rh6nW29u1
"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.320Please respect copyright.PENANACsjLHF1XGI
320Please respect copyright.PENANAFsMye66eke
"And yet there's no fear. Why is that? Don't you think that vampires are reason enough to fear." The leader asked.320Please respect copyright.PENANAyeD6CahvQV
320Please respect copyright.PENANAmytXuYGh6q
"Why? You don't kill." Ross said and the group of vampires did a double take.320Please respect copyright.PENANARutrswPrBR
320Please respect copyright.PENANAEz1o2DYSHV
"H-how did you know that?" The blonde vampire next to the leader said.320Please respect copyright.PENANA2yOd8Sdy9l
320Please respect copyright.PENANAboRgMwqwDM
"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."320Please respect copyright.PENANAgeuvxeEuaV
320Please respect copyright.PENANArbsw65fQw1
At that the leader gave a smile and light clap of her hands.320Please respect copyright.PENANAVqOSXd2VTb
320Please respect copyright.PENANAoY7KSt5mvj
"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.320Please respect copyright.PENANALarQrksyKc
320Please respect copyright.PENANAd7smugnT1N
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.320Please respect copyright.PENANAxoxhFBc8IT
320Please respect copyright.PENANAyuvT8AZmvB
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.320Please respect copyright.PENANALrPUSJgFyx
320Please respect copyright.PENANASOZsUvumoL
"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.320Please respect copyright.PENANA9Bupmkwe2W
320Please respect copyright.PENANAGMFw45AwUv
"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.320Please respect copyright.PENANAZrR4VbM7W8
320Please respect copyright.PENANAIy7YgLVHJp
"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.320Please respect copyright.PENANA1GwGFFanXC
320Please respect copyright.PENANAFnRuDG8Z0t
"You're dating?" Ross asked in surprise.320Please respect copyright.PENANACfnReCqKYa
320Please respect copyright.PENANAgszO3U0zUP
"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.320Please respect copyright.PENANAVblviYvIcK
320Please respect copyright.PENANA1uH28bJlys
"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.320Please respect copyright.PENANAOTYZbdSbvb
320Please respect copyright.PENANAbBxFj00qJo
"No, I'm just a muggle." Ross replied.320Please respect copyright.PENANAm9sNRETOcA
320Please respect copyright.PENANArpd4d59JJW
"How are you taking this so calmly?"320Please respect copyright.PENANAgOidpvQ38M
320Please respect copyright.PENANAlQY1RKFh23
"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.320Please respect copyright.PENANA8cMs5pFzGq
320Please respect copyright.PENANA0sd4VVBJgY
"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.320Please respect copyright.PENANASs3xvWO8XQ
320Please respect copyright.PENANAsr1kTMUt7M
"Sorry about that....I shouldn't have shouted at you." Belladonna said after calming down and morphing back to human form.320Please respect copyright.PENANAO9U0ZGdohL
320Please respect copyright.PENANAyUWcjRhVF7
"Apology accepted, I'm also sorry for my words, didn't mean to offend you."320Please respect copyright.PENANActFDsPId2D
320Please respect copyright.PENANAH4SzCd38r2
"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.320Please respect copyright.PENANAow2eTj5WCm
320Please respect copyright.PENANAvQw8m2nXNf
"Same. Well, I gotta get back and change. See you girls latter, Mickey, Jessie, Belladonna...everyone...bye." Ross said and started jogging again.320Please respect copyright.PENANAQFzNak3qiQ
320Please respect copyright.PENANAedzl13x6mw
"See you later. And please call me Donna."320Please respect copyright.PENANAt7x8VFGMPh
320Please respect copyright.PENANArjL95vycrX
"Whatever you say Miss Belladonna."320Please respect copyright.PENANAHvtCXDHqNM
320Please respect copyright.PENANAt4Sv749T0o
"Ross, toying with a vampire is never good for your health. So do as I say and call me Donna."320Please respect copyright.PENANAtAouWoYX2r
320Please respect copyright.PENANA2z4VJTPNO0
"As Miss Belladonna commands." Ross shouted with a smile on his face as Belladonna could not help but chuckle a bit.320Please respect copyright.PENANAOyzSe3Z1Wh
320Please respect copyright.PENANADeW4seIReZ
And that was how an encounter with vampires ended, nothing like the stories, but weirder than fiction.320Please respect copyright.PENANAH768k1z3qN
320Please respect copyright.PENANAf1tXnEiWja
"Wait, does that mean that this is all real?" Ross asked himself as he held up his medication and wondered whether this was confirmation.320Please respect copyright.PENANA7TD4ag0RQ9
320Please respect copyright.PENANApomlqYnVay
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.320Please respect copyright.PENANAUaOzfbQDpV
320Please respect copyright.PENANAOixUlIhsBa
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.320Please respect copyright.PENANAoqm7cBq7Hm
320Please respect copyright.PENANABRQFci99Gk
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.320Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1PH602hYs
320Please respect copyright.PENANAeHIJuNEyG1
As he walked down the lane back to his home, he was confident that everything was gonna be fine.320Please respect copyright.PENANA4utQmkJmfo
320Please respect copyright.PENANAjsw36oQR8w
And as he did so passed by the various denizens of Calliope, who were all heroes of their own story, noticed him.320Please respect copyright.PENANAermt1GPyyE
320Please respect copyright.PENANAPv9sWgsjIa
And made plans to investigate this 'strange' denizen of their town and his mystery.320Please respect copyright.PENANAjGA47ivGfU
320Please respect copyright.PENANAh9eHq7RNxN
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.320Please respect copyright.PENANAi7BdB2QJKU
320Please respect copyright.PENANA1KWmcgtIB6
"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.320Please respect copyright.PENANAdYqk7GCRnk
320Please respect copyright.PENANAMupcNt6ztq
As he did so he received a text from Hexen.320Please respect copyright.PENANAf3LChL9gz2
320Please respect copyright.PENANAwRvoiQS4Ly
"Coffee and sweets so I can complain to you? XOXOXO." 320Please respect copyright.PENANAncypH55a68
320Please respect copyright.PENANAxUJpC5Hpim
"Oh no." Ross added again as he then felt the wind pick up a bit, that was never a good sign.320Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5IIfSOlzO
320Please respect copyright.PENANAORvBgSJ9Tn
Whenever a sudden gush of wind blew it was always a sign of impending chaos.320Please respect copyright.PENANAau82h9r4ZO
320Please respect copyright.PENANAeUMg2WinXf
"Oh no, no, no, no." Ross said as he felt the world crash around him, he felt like everything was horrid.320Please respect copyright.PENANARSowX5wljK
320Please respect copyright.PENANAZvJh09UMjV
Teenage drama, the supernatural, impending doom, chaos with you as the epicenter, madness, vampires and dating.320Please respect copyright.PENANAK55MIFyD9j
320Please respect copyright.PENANAhrShFWs90F
Just another walk down this untroubled lane that Ross found himself on.320Please respect copyright.PENANAmDDQbs91n0
320Please respect copyright.PENANARcVs9WOToZ
The bell rang there and then to signal the start of Highscool.320Please respect copyright.PENANA76xlxCyrQE
320Please respect copyright.PENANA1Y7BrtGmOW
Just another day in Wonderland.320Please respect copyright.PENANA4pS70FKAvc
