215Please respect copyright.PENANAos8zbu6uWl
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.215Please respect copyright.PENANAJwfoq9IXkZ
215Please respect copyright.PENANADPXR20P2na
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.215Please respect copyright.PENANAXP74xkMrMW
215Please respect copyright.PENANAVKTQrhiFWu
Am I crazy for thinking that or not crazy for thinking that?215Please respect copyright.PENANAOMKjm1eQ7i
215Please respect copyright.PENANAmkfIdGRkjU
Guess we'll find out soon as another day comes.215Please respect copyright.PENANAMuwahmgWGe

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.215Please respect copyright.PENANAadQivjoE0N
215Please respect copyright.PENANAGrvLG3Iy1H
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.215Please respect copyright.PENANAXHQll7TmxY
215Please respect copyright.PENANAtX6Q13XZbf
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.215Please respect copyright.PENANAzJ2wdJZXTq
215Please respect copyright.PENANAKa5nd0ZsQV
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.215Please respect copyright.PENANAbLwgcztwc2
215Please respect copyright.PENANA2bcK2PSyzK
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.215Please respect copyright.PENANAUyW4SnEoYF
215Please respect copyright.PENANAxkmtyoUGxw
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.215Please respect copyright.PENANANLWrpHyycL
215Please respect copyright.PENANANBULPeGP5Z
How could the world forget about magic?215Please respect copyright.PENANAvgh9jByRse
215Please respect copyright.PENANAixIWmEJZ5M
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.215Please respect copyright.PENANAy1ZZoon1VY
215Please respect copyright.PENANAX24wLJ8bad
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.215Please respect copyright.PENANADLc6bH3yVc
215Please respect copyright.PENANALNo3Ldmm9c
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.215Please respect copyright.PENANA8MM5afqwyn
215Please respect copyright.PENANAhCp86ydgGF
"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.215Please respect copyright.PENANAt4gUMoZq1y
215Please respect copyright.PENANAfnfr5ucew5
"This is by far the most unique hallucination that I've ever had up until now."215Please respect copyright.PENANA4IPlK4ejKP
215Please respect copyright.PENANAyokzLMulOG
"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.215Please respect copyright.PENANA38mTGg7NvR
215Please respect copyright.PENANAcHJ8OSmw3o
"You know me?"215Please respect copyright.PENANAJlz3akntOi
215Please respect copyright.PENANArTiDcNxi7D
"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.215Please respect copyright.PENANAzeHe6MBdaW
215Please respect copyright.PENANAzIrKmvocgM
"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.215Please respect copyright.PENANANAhyMpePB0
215Please respect copyright.PENANAL9sdsjUO8W
"And yet there's no fear. Why is that? Don't you think that vampires are reason enough to fear." The leader asked.215Please respect copyright.PENANArpb9OgzsCn
215Please respect copyright.PENANAcAGZglABl7
"Why? You don't kill." Ross said and the group of vampires did a double take.215Please respect copyright.PENANAOzywkNVuie
215Please respect copyright.PENANAP0vx2Bxx7U
"H-how did you know that?" The blonde vampire next to the leader said.215Please respect copyright.PENANAIIHi7PFfb0
215Please respect copyright.PENANA5R4xZDcLbw
"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."215Please respect copyright.PENANAjJch7z2Uw2
215Please respect copyright.PENANAvlMrmQ8ahO
At that the leader gave a smile and light clap of her hands.215Please respect copyright.PENANA8ibTsohHCn
215Please respect copyright.PENANAXshnbtr8jt
"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.215Please respect copyright.PENANAu0cXEdaHBh
215Please respect copyright.PENANAD0K2uq4aG3
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.215Please respect copyright.PENANAweLKQUSySj
215Please respect copyright.PENANAM4SopPWsjY
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.215Please respect copyright.PENANAQNL1AQXMfs
215Please respect copyright.PENANAec6dMy0upA
"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.215Please respect copyright.PENANAfQXiHOdtU3
215Please respect copyright.PENANANQb3NWANxF
"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.215Please respect copyright.PENANAkk7mFyeekz
215Please respect copyright.PENANAENDti3ngUq
"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.215Please respect copyright.PENANAmuMKpMVsb5
215Please respect copyright.PENANAu3s8kD8UUT
"You're dating?" Ross asked in surprise.215Please respect copyright.PENANAwWJVm4FNYZ
215Please respect copyright.PENANAKGJ6FapCiW
"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.215Please respect copyright.PENANAKh898KzlpI
215Please respect copyright.PENANAbZupMTtYKV
"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.215Please respect copyright.PENANAABlMXPXqxd
215Please respect copyright.PENANAU30a8F6umY
"No, I'm just a muggle." Ross replied.215Please respect copyright.PENANAluJhSG7194
215Please respect copyright.PENANATFKIxLJMWV
"How are you taking this so calmly?"215Please respect copyright.PENANAoBl08lxd5C
215Please respect copyright.PENANAG3PSXT55qs
"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.215Please respect copyright.PENANA0vZdNn2VQI
215Please respect copyright.PENANAe5tkMMXuZL
"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.215Please respect copyright.PENANADjl2hq6D0x
215Please respect copyright.PENANA3SVapK3THY
"Sorry about that....I shouldn't have shouted at you." Belladonna said after calming down and morphing back to human form.215Please respect copyright.PENANARRZ6Lkic68
215Please respect copyright.PENANAGsFNu62DsV
"Apology accepted, I'm also sorry for my words, didn't mean to offend you."215Please respect copyright.PENANAALWjUhxQhy
215Please respect copyright.PENANAeWSZv2Yovb
"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.215Please respect copyright.PENANACINjbzBc4x
215Please respect copyright.PENANAJC3jHoy27i
"Same. Well, I gotta get back and change. See you girls latter, Mickey, Jessie, Belladonna...everyone...bye." Ross said and started jogging again.215Please respect copyright.PENANAjHPk7aL5gi
215Please respect copyright.PENANAroaszgJJXD
"See you later. And please call me Donna."215Please respect copyright.PENANAzngN0rSMbL
215Please respect copyright.PENANApwcdFeTnyR
"Whatever you say Miss Belladonna."215Please respect copyright.PENANAqJk1EFMgMM
215Please respect copyright.PENANArgky8SIl2y
"Ross, toying with a vampire is never good for your health. So do as I say and call me Donna."215Please respect copyright.PENANAKgDwg6wHYm
215Please respect copyright.PENANAlz8mWRA2Bc
"As Miss Belladonna commands." Ross shouted with a smile on his face as Belladonna could not help but chuckle a bit.215Please respect copyright.PENANACQUHZNOMAV
215Please respect copyright.PENANANUndbhvlBv
And that was how an encounter with vampires ended, nothing like the stories, but weirder than fiction.215Please respect copyright.PENANAT8RBgGkCHe
215Please respect copyright.PENANACjPDkGL8vO
"Wait, does that mean that this is all real?" Ross asked himself as he held up his medication and wondered whether this was confirmation.215Please respect copyright.PENANAw76fZKKiXO
215Please respect copyright.PENANA4EXBcBW36U
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.215Please respect copyright.PENANAK8oaMh8iAF
215Please respect copyright.PENANAuzsP31BOnW
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.215Please respect copyright.PENANAyRKgDInw1O
215Please respect copyright.PENANAH71AlIocyo
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.215Please respect copyright.PENANASLORvscMGl
215Please respect copyright.PENANAMpDPxeRrXU
As he walked down the lane back to his home, he was confident that everything was gonna be fine.215Please respect copyright.PENANAa1fRW8BsCK
215Please respect copyright.PENANARJuF7c9msu
And as he did so passed by the various denizens of Calliope, who were all heroes of their own story, noticed him.215Please respect copyright.PENANA1XnQ0uk1lL
215Please respect copyright.PENANAPjBeI1LF1W
And made plans to investigate this 'strange' denizen of their town and his mystery.215Please respect copyright.PENANAfJkHHeYlO9
215Please respect copyright.PENANA184RrzI8R5
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.215Please respect copyright.PENANA8pxVnTCud8
215Please respect copyright.PENANABqZE6jykuV
"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.215Please respect copyright.PENANAjkvecjymp5
215Please respect copyright.PENANAW7g7H7EGzX
As he did so he received a text from Hexen.215Please respect copyright.PENANAqk6uSPGkv2
215Please respect copyright.PENANAKydHHqYhhC
"Coffee and sweets so I can complain to you? XOXOXO." 215Please respect copyright.PENANAywcF9qUVIx
215Please respect copyright.PENANAbCDIQlGpV6
"Oh no." Ross added again as he then felt the wind pick up a bit, that was never a good sign.215Please respect copyright.PENANAHFEl4kr1Fb
215Please respect copyright.PENANAcu4TjJd8JL
Whenever a sudden gush of wind blew it was always a sign of impending chaos.215Please respect copyright.PENANAvFP4usD7tX
215Please respect copyright.PENANAESqD2zjX3e
"Oh no, no, no, no." Ross said as he felt the world crash around him, he felt like everything was horrid.215Please respect copyright.PENANAz041XRMqM3
215Please respect copyright.PENANAzyNXGvxXfm
Teenage drama, the supernatural, impending doom, chaos with you as the epicenter, madness, vampires and dating.215Please respect copyright.PENANAqX8eH3qEeE
215Please respect copyright.PENANA9XL2eWyPrN
Just another walk down this untroubled lane that Ross found himself on.215Please respect copyright.PENANAnuFTfm3hIP
215Please respect copyright.PENANAtpDLyxcrBt
The bell rang there and then to signal the start of Highscool.215Please respect copyright.PENANAxFCQmwcg7s
215Please respect copyright.PENANATJOa6ZlZYI
Just another day in Wonderland.215Please respect copyright.PENANAXnrwRklj3G
