-Personal journal, 22nd day, unknown date.557Please respect copyright.PENANANdgW606nZc
557Please respect copyright.PENANABQU4d95KQF
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.557Please respect copyright.PENANAV4J0Ob0Sos
557Please respect copyright.PENANAsfJ9FqIRSY
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.557Please respect copyright.PENANAJphq6gSnGG
557Please respect copyright.PENANAU7u66rnTXL
Am I crazy for thinking that or not crazy for thinking that?557Please respect copyright.PENANAMNOy9ymNOo
557Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZYehyWXt1
Guess we'll find out soon as another day comes.557Please respect copyright.PENANAm9HMLUCtUd

557Please respect copyright.PENANAS9XhSi9Uqf
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.557Please respect copyright.PENANA8WSxypRbKY
557Please respect copyright.PENANAI7Khoi1a8P
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.557Please respect copyright.PENANAcVlf7xSnDP
557Please respect copyright.PENANAnGNGQF2oaN
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.557Please respect copyright.PENANAC1UZJQjVNw
557Please respect copyright.PENANA44dj5vQx2M
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.557Please respect copyright.PENANA3E8SVYa6ch
557Please respect copyright.PENANAzp99rwOhah
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.557Please respect copyright.PENANAnsyhYPZZSr
557Please respect copyright.PENANAXlaFW173lQ
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.557Please respect copyright.PENANACdSDj3guZS
557Please respect copyright.PENANAZgnWkDOo0T
How could the world forget about magic?557Please respect copyright.PENANA1Qmz7PSkMT
557Please respect copyright.PENANAcS8GedP1fs
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.557Please respect copyright.PENANAmamNBLRt4a
557Please respect copyright.PENANAw4Hq7F7ONM
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.557Please respect copyright.PENANAcvZGgM8BoM
557Please respect copyright.PENANAd4M5opWARL
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.557Please respect copyright.PENANAChvp9yyWiT
557Please respect copyright.PENANA93Ck2QqdTL
"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.557Please respect copyright.PENANAYnejdF9ZQc
557Please respect copyright.PENANATTFSqWJSJa
"This is by far the most unique hallucination that I've ever had up until now."557Please respect copyright.PENANAH1CmhV16wq
557Please respect copyright.PENANAxuKFrJ9YLq
"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.557Please respect copyright.PENANAUA4HPG8Kxt
557Please respect copyright.PENANA8oY7p5MfCb
"You know me?"557Please respect copyright.PENANAlvu3jQ9kPA
557Please respect copyright.PENANAblNoxW0ZMW
"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.557Please respect copyright.PENANAvvmLD3AHcP
557Please respect copyright.PENANAm4pWi28CJn
"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.557Please respect copyright.PENANAyX18h8zSYn
557Please respect copyright.PENANA7gutLibyzD
"And yet there's no fear. Why is that? Don't you think that vampires are reason enough to fear." The leader asked.557Please respect copyright.PENANA7rL53NisTm
557Please respect copyright.PENANAkU7l1ppXKL
"Why? You don't kill." Ross said and the group of vampires did a double take.557Please respect copyright.PENANAD3TBY9IDPM
557Please respect copyright.PENANAV8yQgAeVRC
"H-how did you know that?" The blonde vampire next to the leader said.557Please respect copyright.PENANAnPEZTj0CGc
557Please respect copyright.PENANAdXaU007ZOn
"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."557Please respect copyright.PENANAOouNEydKu3
557Please respect copyright.PENANA940tqxdwxR
At that the leader gave a smile and light clap of her hands.557Please respect copyright.PENANAaMRv6nrG85
557Please respect copyright.PENANAjKONGN8eEr
"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.557Please respect copyright.PENANAqevM1iBsht
557Please respect copyright.PENANA2oVEMLuQMT
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.557Please respect copyright.PENANACx2ZoYcXAQ
557Please respect copyright.PENANAmHyXL1aXrl
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.557Please respect copyright.PENANAz8Dli62Lc3
557Please respect copyright.PENANAB58s2s4TeE
"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.557Please respect copyright.PENANAdNIDdIXkgY
557Please respect copyright.PENANAEPRNAy1QP5
"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.557Please respect copyright.PENANAM2VNyozUh3
557Please respect copyright.PENANAhUcs9xEJ9q
"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.557Please respect copyright.PENANAYrMVOb5V1A
557Please respect copyright.PENANAfTpn6cZWfo
"You're dating?" Ross asked in surprise.557Please respect copyright.PENANA9KpT5SF5Rd
557Please respect copyright.PENANACmjikR8gvK
"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.557Please respect copyright.PENANAFELozMoQLK
557Please respect copyright.PENANAVJoXYdZpwy
"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.557Please respect copyright.PENANA2rrW2E8I9S
557Please respect copyright.PENANALRRvW7pTpj
"No, I'm just a muggle." Ross replied.557Please respect copyright.PENANA4xnBpGCfX4
557Please respect copyright.PENANAG41derAqpp
"How are you taking this so calmly?"557Please respect copyright.PENANAPIe1Z7z08i
557Please respect copyright.PENANAW33vefv5e9
"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.557Please respect copyright.PENANAFVA6ubP4a3
557Please respect copyright.PENANATeF3XqPR9O
"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.557Please respect copyright.PENANAqqcIvPrPYh
557Please respect copyright.PENANAy2ULgfsOWR
"Sorry about that....I shouldn't have shouted at you." Belladonna said after calming down and morphing back to human form.557Please respect copyright.PENANA9l3g0nH3Ah
557Please respect copyright.PENANAgKKq8sO3Xp
"Apology accepted, I'm also sorry for my words, didn't mean to offend you."557Please respect copyright.PENANAZJEE1BI3Gb
557Please respect copyright.PENANAzFqn76Wng1
"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.557Please respect copyright.PENANAjbUrm4HwXY
557Please respect copyright.PENANAyNGHKIbpf1
"Same. Well, I gotta get back and change. See you girls latter, Mickey, Jessie, Belladonna...everyone...bye." Ross said and started jogging again.557Please respect copyright.PENANAnXgezuqu0u
557Please respect copyright.PENANAuKncYIdIUr
"See you later. And please call me Donna."557Please respect copyright.PENANA5JSudDuO80
557Please respect copyright.PENANAJDQUvbKl9T
"Whatever you say Miss Belladonna."557Please respect copyright.PENANAkGzF6eWsBz
557Please respect copyright.PENANA2PbvgY5sf8
"Ross, toying with a vampire is never good for your health. So do as I say and call me Donna."557Please respect copyright.PENANAe0lEt6g2g8
557Please respect copyright.PENANA7LKVMyvpJ3
"As Miss Belladonna commands." Ross shouted with a smile on his face as Belladonna could not help but chuckle a bit.557Please respect copyright.PENANA65pn5YTwkN
557Please respect copyright.PENANAhSafiDdphH
And that was how an encounter with vampires ended, nothing like the stories, but weirder than fiction.557Please respect copyright.PENANAvBNqPF1bcR
557Please respect copyright.PENANAjFTMDo5p1t
"Wait, does that mean that this is all real?" Ross asked himself as he held up his medication and wondered whether this was confirmation.557Please respect copyright.PENANAeUGTM9M5L7
557Please respect copyright.PENANANuNkIqFpaQ
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.557Please respect copyright.PENANAGs9KHLTEjP
557Please respect copyright.PENANAmFbLaNQh5G
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.557Please respect copyright.PENANA7sFBPbhLuY
557Please respect copyright.PENANAWdna0pOGc2
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.557Please respect copyright.PENANAmzFQdY65KD
557Please respect copyright.PENANAmrgwoBqV6o
As he walked down the lane back to his home, he was confident that everything was gonna be fine.557Please respect copyright.PENANAStZ0UJS76g
557Please respect copyright.PENANA20fLG1yLca
And as he did so passed by the various denizens of Calliope, who were all heroes of their own story, noticed him.557Please respect copyright.PENANAxnmLqCAdUH
557Please respect copyright.PENANAW0jcO4SPEV
And made plans to investigate this 'strange' denizen of their town and his mystery.557Please respect copyright.PENANAYBJRgZXzxQ
557Please respect copyright.PENANALdC0x0wiLT
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.557Please respect copyright.PENANAVKBAZiBkQR
557Please respect copyright.PENANA1B3XZk5K9K
"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.557Please respect copyright.PENANAoQTRbZDgei
557Please respect copyright.PENANAScSlaLwmJF
As he did so he received a text from Hexen.557Please respect copyright.PENANAJzFnvKlV0V
557Please respect copyright.PENANA2CULOAPXwU
"Coffee and sweets so I can complain to you? XOXOXO." 557Please respect copyright.PENANASl53Gyh2Z1
557Please respect copyright.PENANAZUKHNHqaKw
"Oh no." Ross added again as he then felt the wind pick up a bit, that was never a good sign.557Please respect copyright.PENANAYrTPQvUqsR
557Please respect copyright.PENANArCiMphDP8S
Whenever a sudden gush of wind blew it was always a sign of impending chaos.557Please respect copyright.PENANADWNjnqddka
557Please respect copyright.PENANAjgDvqbxq8c
"Oh no, no, no, no." Ross said as he felt the world crash around him, he felt like everything was horrid.557Please respect copyright.PENANAxRFGZLXbI1
557Please respect copyright.PENANAm3qu1OAgFw
Teenage drama, the supernatural, impending doom, chaos with you as the epicenter, madness, vampires and dating.557Please respect copyright.PENANA8QPVlK8n8q
557Please respect copyright.PENANAXBAOHtVK1K
Just another walk down this untroubled lane that Ross found himself on.557Please respect copyright.PENANAEjiJfDOlF6
557Please respect copyright.PENANATg74mbllM8
The bell rang there and then to signal the start of Highscool.557Please respect copyright.PENANAuEz2jrZX5m
557Please respect copyright.PENANA5WMA779mv8
Just another day in Wonderland.557Please respect copyright.PENANAcbHXtmpZ2Q
