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.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpB1HiPT6E
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPMCXH7Kb5
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.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dmvxODfFR
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCEAUgvab3
Am I crazy for thinking that or not crazy for thinking that?252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIe117mbASP
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uu93suiO5
Guess we'll find out soon as another day comes.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0nu7Vcbvu

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.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRyXYgEl4G
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHckhNeNQ9
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.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAtq6eok8D
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXrM5spBaC
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.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbkfIm5at1
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulAGrXMwxh
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.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGlwKlGxPX
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguHOun5k2M
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.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHaoIxs32G
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXuPLexIWG
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.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0dROLAKP6
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7onwfWqmrm
How could the world forget about magic?252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzvpwGvq3E
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡct9ifzfVN8
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.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFkXTtDN7T
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uAn2fo5UK
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.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46p5cczXQj
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2UdGHqG5u
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.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFA3n4ILjn
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYURFSHnvm2
"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.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybwYs9swNZ
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXWPW21zH7
"This is by far the most unique hallucination that I've ever had up until now."252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kJGRxaG27
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIyRifhwuM
"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.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHym6v0otiV
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15JNQpWLkh
"You know me?"252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGm0TPUbeYZ
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXToR7X4Vxm
"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.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yffoyDqp3
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu09hft9zko
"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.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXr8KZAPLSw
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPzy0UjTXO
"And yet there's no fear. Why is that? Don't you think that vampires are reason enough to fear." The leader asked.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fb7RrZDvI
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eF7B3lUW5
"Why? You don't kill." Ross said and the group of vampires did a double take.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjQeaREVda
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVtiOYMJDa
"H-how did you know that?" The blonde vampire next to the leader said.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQg80NRbYU
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzhhfgKJzL
"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."252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbZnrcU8AR
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaZvZTrKAq
At that the leader gave a smile and light clap of her hands.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6f8Dv6oK4
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0PHbzCz0q
"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.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTs6gTOiv2
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTWagwkzCQ
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.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOatFa1crT
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQboAN88WH
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.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlNRsdf36i
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoJCmHOvH6
"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.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzjxov0Nz8
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aFNOCy8w6
"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.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nz0PRCiSf
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQqwnYrPSH
"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.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykMXLPAuXz
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKmbO3fepx
"You're dating?" Ross asked in surprise.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkasxRIZfT5
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7VTXDLZbL
"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.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFhkLdVIr9
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVU0PHRZzly
"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.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhL4Xeg0X49
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsdGiw2YIa
"No, I'm just a muggle." Ross replied.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZJqZY6ybc
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEfQh4bGUM
"How are you taking this so calmly?"252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XRNKZr9EP
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVilczGkZdu
"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.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0YS5f2hG9
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEP53zkEDDb
"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.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvomkB04heL
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskITRpsEdy
"Sorry about that....I shouldn't have shouted at you." Belladonna said after calming down and morphing back to human form.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyX3pob6aM
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaZ5rv1YOU
"Apology accepted, I'm also sorry for my words, didn't mean to offend you."252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFBEzOG3CR
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkbMGD2bIy
"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.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ05SZVyWY7
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1R7Qesfax
"Same. Well, I gotta get back and change. See you girls latter, Mickey, Jessie, Belladonna...everyone...bye." Ross said and started jogging again.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JHlPIlno4
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xsARjhcLb
"See you later. And please call me Donna."252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdevx36HkPy
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngkBfKhbwy
"Whatever you say Miss Belladonna."252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FzFcSYdRB
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93YIzFcViF
"Ross, toying with a vampire is never good for your health. So do as I say and call me Donna."252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCt4P9TTwP
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBiaBNJWCP
"As Miss Belladonna commands." Ross shouted with a smile on his face as Belladonna could not help but chuckle a bit.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WTAZucKEo
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCV3b7hzJA
And that was how an encounter with vampires ended, nothing like the stories, but weirder than fiction.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XeXx8kCvO
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUy8pHNR9a
"Wait, does that mean that this is all real?" Ross asked himself as he held up his medication and wondered whether this was confirmation.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6F7OgIrNez
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOMQBl8WmW
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.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpw9jF7xPB
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4eBo1LGvc
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.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5Ru8wOJPk
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjIG6dzRzK
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.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqqqEDCz5g
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTr0qklNfJh
As he walked down the lane back to his home, he was confident that everything was gonna be fine.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUcQX2Tneo
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIA5eu9w739
And as he did so passed by the various denizens of Calliope, who were all heroes of their own story, noticed him.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2uAPCveGV
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1O0HEMgQE
And made plans to investigate this 'strange' denizen of their town and his mystery.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0kUjtm2i6
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwV9MxUt8S
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.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo969nu1iSr
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AZpiCupCO
"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.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eFCIvBZtc
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVLu16zsGr
As he did so he received a text from Hexen.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEcoC10oow
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzdY0UvALJ
"Coffee and sweets so I can complain to you? XOXOXO." 252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vnHPRFA8U
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoc97Ohgmf
"Oh no." Ross added again as he then felt the wind pick up a bit, that was never a good sign.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMIogzgwUv
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTV0VvsYD0N
Whenever a sudden gush of wind blew it was always a sign of impending chaos.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBXZYOPuDW
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlObWxL0uIH
"Oh no, no, no, no." Ross said as he felt the world crash around him, he felt like everything was horrid.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1Ghfx2BGx
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhozJl1DP6T
Teenage drama, the supernatural, impending doom, chaos with you as the epicenter, madness, vampires and dating.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MGxTdTWl5
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGv7oYDhzXf
Just another walk down this untroubled lane that Ross found himself on.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXkd7vt0CM
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyLeKe6gB3
The bell rang there and then to signal the start of Highscool.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rvVA5JpK6
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75d6hjGJwD
Just another day in Wonderland.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezZHSFzZMp
