163Please respect copyright.PENANAIFD07OTuWh
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.163Please respect copyright.PENANALSUIf0szO7
163Please respect copyright.PENANAhUHUTozCHb
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.163Please respect copyright.PENANA6wIdJuQC97
163Please respect copyright.PENANALvpiGDpjzE
Am I crazy for thinking that or not crazy for thinking that?163Please respect copyright.PENANAmouQrltNFX
163Please respect copyright.PENANA7TwlhI7KXD
Guess we'll find out soon as another day comes.163Please respect copyright.PENANAawSSnbfVyb

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.163Please respect copyright.PENANANe1ZOMsglS
163Please respect copyright.PENANAwBorMQnKZf
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.163Please respect copyright.PENANALJ9jzx8jtl
163Please respect copyright.PENANAyl5cv4i7Sq
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.163Please respect copyright.PENANA0tfVTtTNQ1
163Please respect copyright.PENANAtn2zjIDRD5
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.163Please respect copyright.PENANAjxmAKhgKPc
163Please respect copyright.PENANAdwklM4n2lE
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.163Please respect copyright.PENANAMS0fe9F6R1
163Please respect copyright.PENANAKR18ypFnSv
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.163Please respect copyright.PENANAtqaiYQNGzR
163Please respect copyright.PENANASgbGiP2PXL
How could the world forget about magic?163Please respect copyright.PENANAksxCePG5Zb
163Please respect copyright.PENANAVTp4pMUOV9
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.163Please respect copyright.PENANA9fMKgaae68
163Please respect copyright.PENANABioDeafFrK
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.163Please respect copyright.PENANAL0yqctX22k
163Please respect copyright.PENANA9mobLYTcEC
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.163Please respect copyright.PENANARNeheTd7iK
163Please respect copyright.PENANAZelrksFlVe
"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.163Please respect copyright.PENANA8XhBESoWpx
163Please respect copyright.PENANAiULfHd0vLb
"This is by far the most unique hallucination that I've ever had up until now."163Please respect copyright.PENANA9YCFtTpmUN
163Please respect copyright.PENANAWfiEwQpL8O
"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.163Please respect copyright.PENANAJSdftWIaU4
163Please respect copyright.PENANAfEDXiszJX2
"You know me?"163Please respect copyright.PENANAzIsbAsryP6
163Please respect copyright.PENANAlSAn59MMfH
"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.163Please respect copyright.PENANAGzrOCaP9eo
163Please respect copyright.PENANAcJftzy6hKJ
"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.163Please respect copyright.PENANAjIDgHj8TFI
163Please respect copyright.PENANAUTJ6YkD6WE
"And yet there's no fear. Why is that? Don't you think that vampires are reason enough to fear." The leader asked.163Please respect copyright.PENANA6UUorCTFf5
163Please respect copyright.PENANAejae5ihxXO
"Why? You don't kill." Ross said and the group of vampires did a double take.163Please respect copyright.PENANADF8izaURxL
163Please respect copyright.PENANAkiVmMNbsfD
"H-how did you know that?" The blonde vampire next to the leader said.163Please respect copyright.PENANAhyd3pBFJPc
163Please respect copyright.PENANA2xZD62qx2s
"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."163Please respect copyright.PENANAHOpXOl9lwv
163Please respect copyright.PENANAIcl7QWb3GX
At that the leader gave a smile and light clap of her hands.163Please respect copyright.PENANAGuW0qFDDKT
163Please respect copyright.PENANAozvxa03swW
"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.163Please respect copyright.PENANArtERjDTr2f
163Please respect copyright.PENANAwH13gwZ7J2
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.163Please respect copyright.PENANAu2LDnFQBwL
163Please respect copyright.PENANAUYZbqDzVLc
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.163Please respect copyright.PENANAVjcHcOrOQ5
163Please respect copyright.PENANAWW0LLjjUjD
"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.163Please respect copyright.PENANAdi3rke7NYH
163Please respect copyright.PENANA9Q0zSMiw1P
"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.163Please respect copyright.PENANAoQNGrL6xl6
163Please respect copyright.PENANAMbmvcojtBE
"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.163Please respect copyright.PENANAsn7bhVlmkG
163Please respect copyright.PENANAt6fhAZQIdv
"You're dating?" Ross asked in surprise.163Please respect copyright.PENANAnt4tZNfZ3H
163Please respect copyright.PENANAl12C4fI3gU
"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.163Please respect copyright.PENANA5Khw3JWKPb
163Please respect copyright.PENANAIgPUnkijF9
"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.163Please respect copyright.PENANA3Z5i9MRqjl
163Please respect copyright.PENANAwutVk67xFy
"No, I'm just a muggle." Ross replied.163Please respect copyright.PENANAcFokPFeNgE
163Please respect copyright.PENANAp56yTeU2nw
"How are you taking this so calmly?"163Please respect copyright.PENANAbiBC9mLDi2
163Please respect copyright.PENANA6OgehhGF3w
"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.163Please respect copyright.PENANAjE5TZsxz2F
163Please respect copyright.PENANA7JirjK9Fje
"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.163Please respect copyright.PENANAltNpWuRPcJ
163Please respect copyright.PENANAeuwTv3TlOb
"Sorry about that....I shouldn't have shouted at you." Belladonna said after calming down and morphing back to human form.163Please respect copyright.PENANA8yX1DVS8Vb
163Please respect copyright.PENANAKBgqt0LETN
"Apology accepted, I'm also sorry for my words, didn't mean to offend you."163Please respect copyright.PENANA7ibrYgA1B9
163Please respect copyright.PENANAndfosHdu3B
"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.163Please respect copyright.PENANA0LDBxuhK0c
163Please respect copyright.PENANAGPHzMg4XjO
"Same. Well, I gotta get back and change. See you girls latter, Mickey, Jessie, Belladonna...everyone...bye." Ross said and started jogging again.163Please respect copyright.PENANAxFwnjXCokI
163Please respect copyright.PENANAurEN1axzSI
"See you later. And please call me Donna."163Please respect copyright.PENANAnPXT26HCnd
163Please respect copyright.PENANAG29EW0Yi75
"Whatever you say Miss Belladonna."163Please respect copyright.PENANAyC29xBs3Qn
163Please respect copyright.PENANABkh6EJym4H
"Ross, toying with a vampire is never good for your health. So do as I say and call me Donna."163Please respect copyright.PENANAYKbTBpOrXH
163Please respect copyright.PENANApFlVBC9Sgi
"As Miss Belladonna commands." Ross shouted with a smile on his face as Belladonna could not help but chuckle a bit.163Please respect copyright.PENANAXCGeov5zDH
163Please respect copyright.PENANAK0xL7QrHTG
And that was how an encounter with vampires ended, nothing like the stories, but weirder than fiction.163Please respect copyright.PENANAuRNRgqjdoC
163Please respect copyright.PENANAH3bGkYLhGV
"Wait, does that mean that this is all real?" Ross asked himself as he held up his medication and wondered whether this was confirmation.163Please respect copyright.PENANA8VJKtG0PVa
163Please respect copyright.PENANA1dkKOo0pDv
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.163Please respect copyright.PENANAXRzga8OYEX
163Please respect copyright.PENANAPKhWUiMMkI
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.163Please respect copyright.PENANA9EqguTjtqR
163Please respect copyright.PENANA7EQVEucCt9
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.163Please respect copyright.PENANANPncnfDyKa
163Please respect copyright.PENANARaNHBc4L4n
As he walked down the lane back to his home, he was confident that everything was gonna be fine.163Please respect copyright.PENANArc7xlXqxy9
163Please respect copyright.PENANAVylUKVMc8H
And as he did so passed by the various denizens of Calliope, who were all heroes of their own story, noticed him.163Please respect copyright.PENANAaD4KDA7scC
163Please respect copyright.PENANAPkdfJ3QGLd
And made plans to investigate this 'strange' denizen of their town and his mystery.163Please respect copyright.PENANAkS8w0DgR5G
163Please respect copyright.PENANAeWKX9blOwL
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.163Please respect copyright.PENANAAmzEzNnDyI
163Please respect copyright.PENANAJg1uDeRy1l
"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.163Please respect copyright.PENANAkPJYgDObsT
163Please respect copyright.PENANAsbcXj1mkbs
As he did so he received a text from Hexen.163Please respect copyright.PENANATlaQBMvDcC
163Please respect copyright.PENANAyijhk7EZGi
"Coffee and sweets so I can complain to you? XOXOXO." 163Please respect copyright.PENANAyuTYa34KVY
163Please respect copyright.PENANAZCU3TfSU3A
"Oh no." Ross added again as he then felt the wind pick up a bit, that was never a good sign.163Please respect copyright.PENANAxWGDHFmrNu
163Please respect copyright.PENANAMLmFiQa5y6
Whenever a sudden gush of wind blew it was always a sign of impending chaos.163Please respect copyright.PENANAWd1r7PWbBq
163Please respect copyright.PENANAM9pmPzck4L
"Oh no, no, no, no." Ross said as he felt the world crash around him, he felt like everything was horrid.163Please respect copyright.PENANA2kdy3RS9GO
163Please respect copyright.PENANAAVCHam2oK7
Teenage drama, the supernatural, impending doom, chaos with you as the epicenter, madness, vampires and dating.163Please respect copyright.PENANAupPMJ8zrN9
163Please respect copyright.PENANA6cdO0hswDx
Just another walk down this untroubled lane that Ross found himself on.163Please respect copyright.PENANABBDytxrkf9
163Please respect copyright.PENANAnMyQgVI3D3
The bell rang there and then to signal the start of Highscool.163Please respect copyright.PENANAwBQU6KrTmB
163Please respect copyright.PENANA10jyB0J9NB
Just another day in Wonderland.163Please respect copyright.PENANA3jYU7ptXYm
