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.249Please respect copyright.PENANAS1NrLKUXYS
249Please respect copyright.PENANANR2pYG36Dj
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.249Please respect copyright.PENANAQNphoWbXTA
249Please respect copyright.PENANAHTPrDrQdCX
Am I crazy for thinking that or not crazy for thinking that?249Please respect copyright.PENANABZX2hs75fF
249Please respect copyright.PENANAxa35lllHVL
Guess we'll find out soon as another day comes.249Please respect copyright.PENANA81XqBWYgjm

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.249Please respect copyright.PENANAdx32e4fPUI
249Please respect copyright.PENANAPidujTpP5g
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.249Please respect copyright.PENANAe9QqwFMzqU
249Please respect copyright.PENANA1LNsxr7UEz
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.249Please respect copyright.PENANAOFhrKip3Td
249Please respect copyright.PENANAFDZJW3iF5X
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.249Please respect copyright.PENANAzO5A2Bw24d
249Please respect copyright.PENANAW1TmBNaEn5
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.249Please respect copyright.PENANAmTvZLhA5W5
249Please respect copyright.PENANA1LHhhvyWAI
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.249Please respect copyright.PENANAE36uDFxauv
249Please respect copyright.PENANAgaYd3eLEEx
How could the world forget about magic?249Please respect copyright.PENANAak4AdDot0Y
249Please respect copyright.PENANAVsm6fMWgOF
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.249Please respect copyright.PENANABIzDZWUdZG
249Please respect copyright.PENANAo1bsvlpjUo
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.249Please respect copyright.PENANAVNMagzDsWa
249Please respect copyright.PENANAcGFWjNClTG
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.249Please respect copyright.PENANAoIQGEd4JRC
249Please respect copyright.PENANAfJu18JRLJt
"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.249Please respect copyright.PENANAiZS9NExPu9
249Please respect copyright.PENANAgoSVFCD0k9
"This is by far the most unique hallucination that I've ever had up until now."249Please respect copyright.PENANAx36CW0jx4N
249Please respect copyright.PENANAbXyooegsn3
"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.249Please respect copyright.PENANACSKvoXbHGk
249Please respect copyright.PENANAJSV70qUxZx
"You know me?"249Please respect copyright.PENANAG6D0FfQgWv
249Please respect copyright.PENANAl8azL1NHUq
"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.249Please respect copyright.PENANASe5QSVcE6E
249Please respect copyright.PENANALYlcFPZTbF
"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.249Please respect copyright.PENANAktchg3F9tJ
249Please respect copyright.PENANAByOdngqSeH
"And yet there's no fear. Why is that? Don't you think that vampires are reason enough to fear." The leader asked.249Please respect copyright.PENANADzva0cYnnI
249Please respect copyright.PENANAXERS7Q2e2B
"Why? You don't kill." Ross said and the group of vampires did a double take.249Please respect copyright.PENANAmkzmY86eq5
249Please respect copyright.PENANAIb4OAsyLnD
"H-how did you know that?" The blonde vampire next to the leader said.249Please respect copyright.PENANAJonXylRmlb
249Please respect copyright.PENANAn7BIU5IQ7m
"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."249Please respect copyright.PENANA8xYKbqprmW
249Please respect copyright.PENANAENecxNqhAx
At that the leader gave a smile and light clap of her hands.249Please respect copyright.PENANAttRV3Q39HG
249Please respect copyright.PENANA4JQYhSAEKR
"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.249Please respect copyright.PENANAJKpUrRCQFI
249Please respect copyright.PENANAzYV7lqPRi8
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.249Please respect copyright.PENANAdd3WM4QK4z
249Please respect copyright.PENANAKaUVOgk3Zz
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.249Please respect copyright.PENANA1n4uOpZHTk
249Please respect copyright.PENANANligh4cO4P
"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.249Please respect copyright.PENANAFvjyxnx0hb
249Please respect copyright.PENANACdod1JREzG
"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.249Please respect copyright.PENANAWC4pxcweVn
249Please respect copyright.PENANAAFzz8NvGUX
"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.249Please respect copyright.PENANApPxmlufZjQ
249Please respect copyright.PENANAyEjrPL8VvU
"You're dating?" Ross asked in surprise.249Please respect copyright.PENANA9xk21pqRs8
249Please respect copyright.PENANAKITn7XFQMS
"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.249Please respect copyright.PENANAsooITGTFeb
249Please respect copyright.PENANAlonylXa8Tm
"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.249Please respect copyright.PENANAL6MCT6N8N0
249Please respect copyright.PENANAUSs8rgp7kY
"No, I'm just a muggle." Ross replied.249Please respect copyright.PENANAjibnqRWv7s
249Please respect copyright.PENANAAhP181R7HV
"How are you taking this so calmly?"249Please respect copyright.PENANAuN71rwI1Bb
249Please respect copyright.PENANAK1kOA8MeIZ
"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.249Please respect copyright.PENANAgWARalJoFR
249Please respect copyright.PENANANoi44pdQKx
"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.249Please respect copyright.PENANA0T4LSalZVM
249Please respect copyright.PENANAkoAS8NS3B1
"Sorry about that....I shouldn't have shouted at you." Belladonna said after calming down and morphing back to human form.249Please respect copyright.PENANAtrevZueYgj
249Please respect copyright.PENANAX0UtF2IduI
"Apology accepted, I'm also sorry for my words, didn't mean to offend you."249Please respect copyright.PENANAUrcdlwSWmW
249Please respect copyright.PENANAgyPtPf974Q
"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.249Please respect copyright.PENANAVhuxO3DHqK
249Please respect copyright.PENANA4WEVSEBJa4
"Same. Well, I gotta get back and change. See you girls latter, Mickey, Jessie, Belladonna...everyone...bye." Ross said and started jogging again.249Please respect copyright.PENANAgs4ItvKR2Y
249Please respect copyright.PENANAIHRteC0kf5
"See you later. And please call me Donna."249Please respect copyright.PENANAJe1YyBOyOs
249Please respect copyright.PENANAXN01kG6Aqs
"Whatever you say Miss Belladonna."249Please respect copyright.PENANA6QmBTjOsOC
249Please respect copyright.PENANAFfmEVh39Hy
"Ross, toying with a vampire is never good for your health. So do as I say and call me Donna."249Please respect copyright.PENANANkrkbrzpjd
249Please respect copyright.PENANANlYnUYnevw
"As Miss Belladonna commands." Ross shouted with a smile on his face as Belladonna could not help but chuckle a bit.249Please respect copyright.PENANAOiuPT7dTqB
249Please respect copyright.PENANAJZD2jBdriH
And that was how an encounter with vampires ended, nothing like the stories, but weirder than fiction.249Please respect copyright.PENANAA4U7TWR6VJ
249Please respect copyright.PENANAvJ2bGKwbe8
"Wait, does that mean that this is all real?" Ross asked himself as he held up his medication and wondered whether this was confirmation.249Please respect copyright.PENANAvmrBc1uOqb
249Please respect copyright.PENANASCYaFd3bE9
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.249Please respect copyright.PENANAPGfer3OYVA
249Please respect copyright.PENANA5pErsklKRl
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.249Please respect copyright.PENANAkk7aVVYtkh
249Please respect copyright.PENANAUvawERDdR0
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.249Please respect copyright.PENANAbWBCEMaTlY
249Please respect copyright.PENANAj7CgTkUL9K
As he walked down the lane back to his home, he was confident that everything was gonna be fine.249Please respect copyright.PENANATyMpObn0Mo
249Please respect copyright.PENANACdzr7po2pi
And as he did so passed by the various denizens of Calliope, who were all heroes of their own story, noticed him.249Please respect copyright.PENANAbDzBuZcWEL
249Please respect copyright.PENANAKxeaE8VmS0
And made plans to investigate this 'strange' denizen of their town and his mystery.249Please respect copyright.PENANAKkD49JQcQ8
249Please respect copyright.PENANAbsNME18rIQ
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.249Please respect copyright.PENANA7A6Owy2L8r
249Please respect copyright.PENANAfI5WjnKGJ8
"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.249Please respect copyright.PENANA6x8NATql3d
249Please respect copyright.PENANAgKPMEciD1x
As he did so he received a text from Hexen.249Please respect copyright.PENANAZXxT9kNHlO
249Please respect copyright.PENANAD04nyskLe5
"Coffee and sweets so I can complain to you? XOXOXO." 249Please respect copyright.PENANA67NCwdiXKu
249Please respect copyright.PENANAdTQX2R9nQ5
"Oh no." Ross added again as he then felt the wind pick up a bit, that was never a good sign.249Please respect copyright.PENANAltUierAeRW
249Please respect copyright.PENANAU8zJLYVgie
Whenever a sudden gush of wind blew it was always a sign of impending chaos.249Please respect copyright.PENANARfSdz7ORDR
249Please respect copyright.PENANA6GaIgb89LC
"Oh no, no, no, no." Ross said as he felt the world crash around him, he felt like everything was horrid.249Please respect copyright.PENANAoGgfUjBWPT
249Please respect copyright.PENANAB9eunrn9KQ
Teenage drama, the supernatural, impending doom, chaos with you as the epicenter, madness, vampires and dating.249Please respect copyright.PENANARH7XriPabF
249Please respect copyright.PENANAiPLX7nj4rk
Just another walk down this untroubled lane that Ross found himself on.249Please respect copyright.PENANAvpov8zRljT
249Please respect copyright.PENANAez0EA79YCj
The bell rang there and then to signal the start of Highscool.249Please respect copyright.PENANAPsCtLYjJ7V
249Please respect copyright.PENANATAkHZcEVVZ
Just another day in Wonderland.249Please respect copyright.PENANAXooMYFOf4d
