-Personal journal, 22nd day, unknown date.268Please respect copyright.PENANAkgl06Oxbfb
268Please respect copyright.PENANA46ivKhobvh
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.268Please respect copyright.PENANAgC9lIb0CaN
268Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZLQ12gkAb
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.268Please respect copyright.PENANAehXSPTl397
268Please respect copyright.PENANAC6ITIxWTfF
Am I crazy for thinking that or not crazy for thinking that?268Please respect copyright.PENANADY0XPYbWr7
268Please respect copyright.PENANAktoedx9dl5
Guess we'll find out soon as another day comes.268Please respect copyright.PENANAYGAkwMjkwY

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.268Please respect copyright.PENANANi6MYXX5Rd
268Please respect copyright.PENANAKxHG7JA7JB
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.268Please respect copyright.PENANAgHxp5cpO4U
268Please respect copyright.PENANAUsG2W3Chjk
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.268Please respect copyright.PENANA0f1qfN6fXp
268Please respect copyright.PENANAo5pRRdYl2l
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.268Please respect copyright.PENANAnd0GPcUINO
268Please respect copyright.PENANAnOMG4kY8wD
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.268Please respect copyright.PENANALIkFh4eCl0
268Please respect copyright.PENANApiwHReHxHG
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.268Please respect copyright.PENANAICPNnLQP61
268Please respect copyright.PENANAPOQrIsP7Tj
How could the world forget about magic?268Please respect copyright.PENANAd6o20U5eDN
268Please respect copyright.PENANAlK60ySkp33
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.268Please respect copyright.PENANAAk90Ts3sO5
268Please respect copyright.PENANAEWOkm4m25g
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.268Please respect copyright.PENANAegB2XxToj0
268Please respect copyright.PENANATBgmFeMyoE
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.268Please respect copyright.PENANAp0QO3mqGpI
268Please respect copyright.PENANACd61B3ZCIT
"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.268Please respect copyright.PENANAoVxrczo3LB
268Please respect copyright.PENANALePYIOiMdK
"This is by far the most unique hallucination that I've ever had up until now."268Please respect copyright.PENANArBZfeod1k3
268Please respect copyright.PENANAA4hsQ4V8T9
"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.268Please respect copyright.PENANAtNdg7Tzx2o
268Please respect copyright.PENANAH4lsH1VVPf
"You know me?"268Please respect copyright.PENANAoMrwlxu6PZ
268Please respect copyright.PENANA7O94MgYYZT
"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.268Please respect copyright.PENANARbJH5rjbVK
268Please respect copyright.PENANAtsxQARQcg2
"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.268Please respect copyright.PENANAaXDmD1BYTS
268Please respect copyright.PENANAs6i18E0INq
"And yet there's no fear. Why is that? Don't you think that vampires are reason enough to fear." The leader asked.268Please respect copyright.PENANAnOzf4GpZ2y
268Please respect copyright.PENANA5n8Zmmvwpw
"Why? You don't kill." Ross said and the group of vampires did a double take.268Please respect copyright.PENANA8IeZlxhPy7
268Please respect copyright.PENANAZdFhm2MOa6
"H-how did you know that?" The blonde vampire next to the leader said.268Please respect copyright.PENANASqRXUx1DaL
268Please respect copyright.PENANA0XUAh9XwaJ
"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."268Please respect copyright.PENANA1A8MQGpRfk
268Please respect copyright.PENANAkyYT7JBFPM
At that the leader gave a smile and light clap of her hands.268Please respect copyright.PENANA1OGHrdfeFw
268Please respect copyright.PENANAi5fsmzcT46
"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.268Please respect copyright.PENANAIYMd68AP7H
268Please respect copyright.PENANAnaoWyud0y9
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.268Please respect copyright.PENANA0FB4yPzenX
268Please respect copyright.PENANAB4KaP42iJV
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.268Please respect copyright.PENANAX14REATzKG
268Please respect copyright.PENANArqEZ3Rzo65
"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.268Please respect copyright.PENANAjygyBK0BS3
268Please respect copyright.PENANAfIkB10YH4B
"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.268Please respect copyright.PENANAsWmnUBzDO4
268Please respect copyright.PENANA2Ey5oOG979
"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.268Please respect copyright.PENANA8zZCrlEwyt
268Please respect copyright.PENANAmcNpwTwxZQ
"You're dating?" Ross asked in surprise.268Please respect copyright.PENANA6hoaQc3gNz
268Please respect copyright.PENANAk4Ksra09ys
"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.268Please respect copyright.PENANARWxOAKer8z
268Please respect copyright.PENANA143YKNzt34
"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.268Please respect copyright.PENANAF3vZXQC0DJ
268Please respect copyright.PENANAVmlRZUOEx9
"No, I'm just a muggle." Ross replied.268Please respect copyright.PENANARaw1ysMbTi
268Please respect copyright.PENANAaoWLTDwVKt
"How are you taking this so calmly?"268Please respect copyright.PENANAXUMVAREjIh
268Please respect copyright.PENANAkdzGJ7nUt3
"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.268Please respect copyright.PENANATk4ArMTKK7
268Please respect copyright.PENANAs5I9dgOgWi
"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.268Please respect copyright.PENANANe3dX1LoJZ
268Please respect copyright.PENANAUisb1cTqOi
"Sorry about that....I shouldn't have shouted at you." Belladonna said after calming down and morphing back to human form.268Please respect copyright.PENANAmIzvq2LEfl
268Please respect copyright.PENANAyXHF7YCOLj
"Apology accepted, I'm also sorry for my words, didn't mean to offend you."268Please respect copyright.PENANA59DzUUi7xx
268Please respect copyright.PENANAQtwufkEW1t
"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.268Please respect copyright.PENANAmm1lupWaEK
268Please respect copyright.PENANAfTHsTNlH81
"Same. Well, I gotta get back and change. See you girls latter, Mickey, Jessie, Belladonna...everyone...bye." Ross said and started jogging again.268Please respect copyright.PENANARP4KC2nFk4
268Please respect copyright.PENANArxMmNH3QBs
"See you later. And please call me Donna."268Please respect copyright.PENANAvRaJVYsrrv
268Please respect copyright.PENANAharGHQx0Zt
"Whatever you say Miss Belladonna."268Please respect copyright.PENANA7NFmiohXdA
268Please respect copyright.PENANASxwuXIYKnN
"Ross, toying with a vampire is never good for your health. So do as I say and call me Donna."268Please respect copyright.PENANAiR5PqaG7WU
268Please respect copyright.PENANAWwVMM5Raq4
"As Miss Belladonna commands." Ross shouted with a smile on his face as Belladonna could not help but chuckle a bit.268Please respect copyright.PENANAYilwoDcQSE
268Please respect copyright.PENANAuhBJT3IJHN
And that was how an encounter with vampires ended, nothing like the stories, but weirder than fiction.268Please respect copyright.PENANAnpJ0QYYZOO
268Please respect copyright.PENANAfQk4r08V1u
"Wait, does that mean that this is all real?" Ross asked himself as he held up his medication and wondered whether this was confirmation.268Please respect copyright.PENANAwMeFp2vhss
268Please respect copyright.PENANAxPkl2is5E0
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.268Please respect copyright.PENANAgcqM6Ylzqo
268Please respect copyright.PENANArrdIesAkHp
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.268Please respect copyright.PENANAI4WuE2Wizw
268Please respect copyright.PENANA0Ss7s2RE7C
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.268Please respect copyright.PENANAKX7YB4gmeO
268Please respect copyright.PENANAloMZgwzWrZ
As he walked down the lane back to his home, he was confident that everything was gonna be fine.268Please respect copyright.PENANAxb1bV4PFp2
268Please respect copyright.PENANAWMEVdFzLLV
And as he did so passed by the various denizens of Calliope, who were all heroes of their own story, noticed him.268Please respect copyright.PENANArgbTDRZnOy
268Please respect copyright.PENANADtQsZciCKm
And made plans to investigate this 'strange' denizen of their town and his mystery.268Please respect copyright.PENANA5F7vPIW00k
268Please respect copyright.PENANActWYuoldlg
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.268Please respect copyright.PENANAAHYfn8DSRE
268Please respect copyright.PENANAOXNqlcvxzK
"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.268Please respect copyright.PENANAOPmB1nQB1a
268Please respect copyright.PENANAQAbWksqSQo
As he did so he received a text from Hexen.268Please respect copyright.PENANAM7aOtT7Iro
268Please respect copyright.PENANA70BNC1Bbn6
"Coffee and sweets so I can complain to you? XOXOXO." 268Please respect copyright.PENANAYTFJ6xCu4i
268Please respect copyright.PENANA8SRnSkreTw
"Oh no." Ross added again as he then felt the wind pick up a bit, that was never a good sign.268Please respect copyright.PENANAqkhLQa1Pl4
268Please respect copyright.PENANAHJeJgMYaIN
Whenever a sudden gush of wind blew it was always a sign of impending chaos.268Please respect copyright.PENANA7oQPce46aM
268Please respect copyright.PENANAwsHk00i2dG
"Oh no, no, no, no." Ross said as he felt the world crash around him, he felt like everything was horrid.268Please respect copyright.PENANAas0XU0wS8p
268Please respect copyright.PENANAs0daQHUX2U
Teenage drama, the supernatural, impending doom, chaos with you as the epicenter, madness, vampires and dating.268Please respect copyright.PENANAhSvWyd0sFU
268Please respect copyright.PENANATo28k6oSpC
Just another walk down this untroubled lane that Ross found himself on.268Please respect copyright.PENANAQXHMdjTBry
268Please respect copyright.PENANArpxxAzSBnX
The bell rang there and then to signal the start of Highscool.268Please respect copyright.PENANAIIehRCDj2S
268Please respect copyright.PENANAYVO3P7oGjk
Just another day in Wonderland.268Please respect copyright.PENANAutbmcvWY04
