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.152Please respect copyright.PENANAcTjv7oUxia
152Please respect copyright.PENANAH88KpPjREI
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.152Please respect copyright.PENANAYAtHrDvGAz
152Please respect copyright.PENANAtwNWrf20lf
Am I crazy for thinking that or not crazy for thinking that?152Please respect copyright.PENANA2ss5ry4ZYK
152Please respect copyright.PENANAlLizsbSd8V
Guess we'll find out soon as another day comes.152Please respect copyright.PENANA02F3WZNL2R

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.152Please respect copyright.PENANAL9bXC0V7aB
152Please respect copyright.PENANAP42an6Koao
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.152Please respect copyright.PENANAInslDdTKYZ
152Please respect copyright.PENANADYN4FxRuIN
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.152Please respect copyright.PENANA6OCNXo5Vf8
152Please respect copyright.PENANAcoJkS7sNB4
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.152Please respect copyright.PENANAbyNPGB3jJz
152Please respect copyright.PENANA93mEBLbtTe
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.152Please respect copyright.PENANAU4JC6fjpOu
152Please respect copyright.PENANAFse78mrAKN
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.152Please respect copyright.PENANAzzU0VcZDEf
152Please respect copyright.PENANAvBr7YCPKl4
How could the world forget about magic?152Please respect copyright.PENANAMOCysvDioC
152Please respect copyright.PENANA9iNx4kFTQh
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.152Please respect copyright.PENANAQmD2wEkSGI
152Please respect copyright.PENANAlxEB3xnGHt
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.152Please respect copyright.PENANAIBM08c0MWw
152Please respect copyright.PENANAiTPzAMDodH
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.152Please respect copyright.PENANADGGAjZyysO
152Please respect copyright.PENANAmv8LBDtyax
"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.152Please respect copyright.PENANAZdWTdIT0Jg
152Please respect copyright.PENANANHV5We46Ry
"This is by far the most unique hallucination that I've ever had up until now."152Please respect copyright.PENANAGT69A8aVpb
152Please respect copyright.PENANAuJnklYgHmL
"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.152Please respect copyright.PENANAPcc8cMeFfU
152Please respect copyright.PENANAmCXp7N0AaD
"You know me?"152Please respect copyright.PENANA2Xzt9yhgjo
152Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7RFD10vXu
"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.152Please respect copyright.PENANAL5qaCOuh0q
152Please respect copyright.PENANAClDoI6n5bm
"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.152Please respect copyright.PENANAnpzpZ5gems
152Please respect copyright.PENANArA1NtFsmLa
"And yet there's no fear. Why is that? Don't you think that vampires are reason enough to fear." The leader asked.152Please respect copyright.PENANAC1zES75S3s
152Please respect copyright.PENANAScNd9J7uMF
"Why? You don't kill." Ross said and the group of vampires did a double take.152Please respect copyright.PENANAWCkxvPj1sg
152Please respect copyright.PENANAMyx2YWK01a
"H-how did you know that?" The blonde vampire next to the leader said.152Please respect copyright.PENANAIATMZVFJWG
152Please respect copyright.PENANAs1xTF4m4t1
"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."152Please respect copyright.PENANAaPHzLG6pGa
152Please respect copyright.PENANAp7uF6yfdvK
At that the leader gave a smile and light clap of her hands.152Please respect copyright.PENANAcn8DP93mTy
152Please respect copyright.PENANAMvY5hrpnDJ
"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.152Please respect copyright.PENANAnnRs4jhrY9
152Please respect copyright.PENANA7ItEomo6Pj
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.152Please respect copyright.PENANAmnviob3d8a
152Please respect copyright.PENANA4MNaSOD2d3
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.152Please respect copyright.PENANAZ86bXvXtgU
152Please respect copyright.PENANAXnqAHri9ww
"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.152Please respect copyright.PENANAlB0gV3VJeG
152Please respect copyright.PENANAJa6ZA4uLLJ
"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.152Please respect copyright.PENANAXzzI1wryyQ
152Please respect copyright.PENANAEk8ziOr0vP
"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.152Please respect copyright.PENANAjY9R4fvrJH
152Please respect copyright.PENANA09MiY2K9By
"You're dating?" Ross asked in surprise.152Please respect copyright.PENANASJJEmt4n7g
152Please respect copyright.PENANANQvBKmhs0Y
"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.152Please respect copyright.PENANA5i94CLvTZ3
152Please respect copyright.PENANAiyXeLwvypq
"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.152Please respect copyright.PENANA7308N1U6Oj
152Please respect copyright.PENANAPAk8XlujSc
"No, I'm just a muggle." Ross replied.152Please respect copyright.PENANAy9SXxWxgZ6
152Please respect copyright.PENANAJLzkqx5oRs
"How are you taking this so calmly?"152Please respect copyright.PENANAGcpOEvBfNu
152Please respect copyright.PENANAKBLFYfr7VL
"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.152Please respect copyright.PENANAA07zMl79m3
152Please respect copyright.PENANALGdnZg6kAC
"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.152Please respect copyright.PENANAj55qx8IdXe
152Please respect copyright.PENANAq5lsxAFVfd
"Sorry about that....I shouldn't have shouted at you." Belladonna said after calming down and morphing back to human form.152Please respect copyright.PENANA34QwDx1UsR
152Please respect copyright.PENANAafyiXL5QYz
"Apology accepted, I'm also sorry for my words, didn't mean to offend you."152Please respect copyright.PENANAbmzYvIGqZo
152Please respect copyright.PENANAKEQ3hf8RMl
"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.152Please respect copyright.PENANAjnxb3BSbyK
152Please respect copyright.PENANAHvEc1UDxQC
"Same. Well, I gotta get back and change. See you girls latter, Mickey, Jessie, Belladonna...everyone...bye." Ross said and started jogging again.152Please respect copyright.PENANAZLgwwOKhT3
152Please respect copyright.PENANAbk62GGGNQh
"See you later. And please call me Donna."152Please respect copyright.PENANAvtJqMAl9a7
152Please respect copyright.PENANAouchpUD9OF
"Whatever you say Miss Belladonna."152Please respect copyright.PENANAfTB4TFyUTu
152Please respect copyright.PENANAWaRFeMPd60
"Ross, toying with a vampire is never good for your health. So do as I say and call me Donna."152Please respect copyright.PENANA9G3JG9tweR
152Please respect copyright.PENANAqRt1OphLMp
"As Miss Belladonna commands." Ross shouted with a smile on his face as Belladonna could not help but chuckle a bit.152Please respect copyright.PENANADYILMCgBd9
152Please respect copyright.PENANArhu2K1iPZ9
And that was how an encounter with vampires ended, nothing like the stories, but weirder than fiction.152Please respect copyright.PENANA0hCDo9vNl8
152Please respect copyright.PENANAINvxJCkMB0
"Wait, does that mean that this is all real?" Ross asked himself as he held up his medication and wondered whether this was confirmation.152Please respect copyright.PENANAz46iFA64YA
152Please respect copyright.PENANAnefkvdYYOs
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.152Please respect copyright.PENANAuZSBe5NAT2
152Please respect copyright.PENANAPHKye2vh78
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.152Please respect copyright.PENANAD9HuODCDvo
152Please respect copyright.PENANAPg6rxtR9GE
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.152Please respect copyright.PENANABajtWNxUTp
152Please respect copyright.PENANA2s1BYwBtM8
As he walked down the lane back to his home, he was confident that everything was gonna be fine.152Please respect copyright.PENANAcsy86zRzKQ
152Please respect copyright.PENANAAF5YihmKRf
And as he did so passed by the various denizens of Calliope, who were all heroes of their own story, noticed him.152Please respect copyright.PENANANlLgy6avjE
152Please respect copyright.PENANAwiGcCaNTBM
And made plans to investigate this 'strange' denizen of their town and his mystery.152Please respect copyright.PENANAfU0VTI82S4
152Please respect copyright.PENANATVUtOYS73y
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.152Please respect copyright.PENANAmwhR4a1aXy
152Please respect copyright.PENANAMQT2ma5jgo
"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.152Please respect copyright.PENANAKEf5dQx5c1
152Please respect copyright.PENANAyrrL1ze7PF
As he did so he received a text from Hexen.152Please respect copyright.PENANAwihjOKUqzR
152Please respect copyright.PENANAa1o07ORaM2
"Coffee and sweets so I can complain to you? XOXOXO." 152Please respect copyright.PENANAsWclgLlGeg
152Please respect copyright.PENANA46MbgVCixa
"Oh no." Ross added again as he then felt the wind pick up a bit, that was never a good sign.152Please respect copyright.PENANA0z1QdADEzV
152Please respect copyright.PENANA3X6ClENw7v
Whenever a sudden gush of wind blew it was always a sign of impending chaos.152Please respect copyright.PENANANgCbb63Pet
152Please respect copyright.PENANA1XJBTkou9x
"Oh no, no, no, no." Ross said as he felt the world crash around him, he felt like everything was horrid.152Please respect copyright.PENANA2pimhJ0MT7
152Please respect copyright.PENANAcAKOn7WJbN
Teenage drama, the supernatural, impending doom, chaos with you as the epicenter, madness, vampires and dating.152Please respect copyright.PENANAqqI7UACioP
152Please respect copyright.PENANAxFiDfKdljX
Just another walk down this untroubled lane that Ross found himself on.152Please respect copyright.PENANAlcuLAXfSK6
152Please respect copyright.PENANAHZmd8jZiU0
The bell rang there and then to signal the start of Highscool.152Please respect copyright.PENANAzbwoE8Z1EN
152Please respect copyright.PENANA0pjPoBjoMZ
Just another day in Wonderland.152Please respect copyright.PENANAzKgDRljbKh
