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.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFVlXNPzGN
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPf2QNcUzB
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.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0Qn6qQJDu
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePnczVPTdR
Am I crazy for thinking that or not crazy for thinking that?164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqI9H6OMQ8X
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7B04Sh7bpO
Guess we'll find out soon as another day comes.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VP5MnwhPn

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.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufzCIMQqdU
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDN0zHg516
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.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GSXU0q9Vh
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUGIDxnLcK
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.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEW9zeqtQG
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSxgGf2jpy
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.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcs0obugxrm
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9DTbLJwOX
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.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0emlJ1Wbaa
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNIcCjsANk
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.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DL0yjpc3Z
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMV8H0bkZlw
How could the world forget about magic?164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0AJEEhKhq
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcdckDLjx0
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.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPoAYq24Rb
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WH1aCD2E0
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.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9Pu0jRuBx
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNGATlrZA9
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.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5h4sW1cM1
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7TzoJjgQj
"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.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNqavLjlXb
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3reqZ03Bt
"This is by far the most unique hallucination that I've ever had up until now."164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDBo5kxIh0
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC93jZoenQZ
"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.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSl5BNnzsr
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVATzo8Rqqs
"You know me?"164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2BOMvjG0J
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEahP45pFh1
"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.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhIoyr9ebL
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgJVoAk7Z1
"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.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGQ24M8H0r
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8vMAyzpaW
"And yet there's no fear. Why is that? Don't you think that vampires are reason enough to fear." The leader asked.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTPuQjsnGL
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVDeLiLB6b
"Why? You don't kill." Ross said and the group of vampires did a double take.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclN1igzvzq
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAL3SGmtZJI
"H-how did you know that?" The blonde vampire next to the leader said.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7u49iNGZTJ
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8rgGuyisH
"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."164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB66HQAASoo
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMDNAYqrf8
At that the leader gave a smile and light clap of her hands.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlr3FXryXU
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHZqthFZTt
"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.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0AuC9RUS4
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvAHOwTazy
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.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pi1OB9SKx
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AJtMRIiob
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.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2MJUtndpv
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2CZ55RM48
"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.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡod0wfWNk0G
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnPJD5mltM
"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.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAQ5KDXxy9
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5822BgmKu
"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.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvjQ3isjqr
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvaQXMcfrj
"You're dating?" Ross asked in surprise.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXZ2ZE5xvd
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlFYdLD7aK
"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.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33FNXqVoIx
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBAyCbTOCD
"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.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZD9Orcrzv
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7f6z2VPwHj
"No, I'm just a muggle." Ross replied.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQ2joSSq08
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jbTCc4FKD
"How are you taking this so calmly?"164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUnJGgOtAm
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡau0PgiRRMu
"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.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlq5IjRaR3a
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHRlwV8I5x
"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.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfgY7jY1eV
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjr8NlV3lgO
"Sorry about that....I shouldn't have shouted at you." Belladonna said after calming down and morphing back to human form.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgH7YAkCYqK
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwNhwJBaGE
"Apology accepted, I'm also sorry for my words, didn't mean to offend you."164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilFF0yeIdS
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgMDD2smZv
"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.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvWiie6r5D
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLimSQhBsnv
"Same. Well, I gotta get back and change. See you girls latter, Mickey, Jessie, Belladonna...everyone...bye." Ross said and started jogging again.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCjzGIXP2y
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvin7xCsHh
"See you later. And please call me Donna."164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLV1DBMAU7
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIMFdm3vir
"Whatever you say Miss Belladonna."164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3K2T1a97dJ
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44xe0IU9P0
"Ross, toying with a vampire is never good for your health. So do as I say and call me Donna."164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyW5o5a1GSC
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxD1WVeOIBJ
"As Miss Belladonna commands." Ross shouted with a smile on his face as Belladonna could not help but chuckle a bit.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEStjDwTLu
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xYvb7ttCX
And that was how an encounter with vampires ended, nothing like the stories, but weirder than fiction.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqX1s6t8uO
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4tbgH1TTG
"Wait, does that mean that this is all real?" Ross asked himself as he held up his medication and wondered whether this was confirmation.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWZyzRhd9w
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPAxU40pVT
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.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwmWpyQzZJ
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvrafwlkRQ
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.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bFUbl1hTF
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyxuUIYBw0
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.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlzhbhAh1Z
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrE3u3p7wr
As he walked down the lane back to his home, he was confident that everything was gonna be fine.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWGxq6Dhcr
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxzJm0jjrM
And as he did so passed by the various denizens of Calliope, who were all heroes of their own story, noticed him.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ve0Gm8lHv
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8W4DyGED2y
And made plans to investigate this 'strange' denizen of their town and his mystery.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxqMK9rJDl
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zUVm44ev7
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.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MHAS9f0oG
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0casX0Dw7H
"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.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TqhvoJUDL
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9v4biLKXpW
As he did so he received a text from Hexen.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZR9XazfdR
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡag7dVTEPe9
"Coffee and sweets so I can complain to you? XOXOXO." 164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91U9F2kGiS
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MDMpn0OKG
"Oh no." Ross added again as he then felt the wind pick up a bit, that was never a good sign.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uVjuAyp90
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2pfi2u7V5
Whenever a sudden gush of wind blew it was always a sign of impending chaos.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0nVsucYnc
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NDEjRln91
"Oh no, no, no, no." Ross said as he felt the world crash around him, he felt like everything was horrid.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliqHc3hA70
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjYWgEPWaJ
Teenage drama, the supernatural, impending doom, chaos with you as the epicenter, madness, vampires and dating.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFv0vnlUGc
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgrsYbsYXQ
Just another walk down this untroubled lane that Ross found himself on.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn35H8I2ZRh
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcGOZg7ahf
The bell rang there and then to signal the start of Highscool.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkufZbMLPMt
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0w6hgBJw7E
Just another day in Wonderland.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbX9ZunSvNG
