Hey It's me.

I know this seems idiotic to do this as I do find myself without much for a job and am living off of scraps but hey, Moms always said this black little book would help if you wrote in it.

Man I hope she's right.

So I woke up from a bad head ache after travelling here from home trying to start a new life and figure out what my mother meant by "A lost secret", but that'll have to wait till I figure out my whole situation.

I have a terrible feeling about my future I find myself without any of my money, none of my belongings, and a bad feeling this place this place is a little more than it appears.

I'm getting weird vibes of this town as not only has there been strange activity of the animals here, the people seem to talk of whispers of supernatural things here. I bought a gun for protection, I am not great with it at the moment but I do think I need it, and I feel that my boxing would be a bad idea against wolves, so I did by a bat just in case they get too close. I just have a feeling I'm being watched from the shadows, somewhere and someone seems to be eyeing me.

Damn I wish this head ache would go away so I could think straight. Hell I wish my shoulder didn't hurt so much so i could write without stopping.

OK this place is fucked up as hell.

I woke up to people yelling and Immediately grabbed my pistol and ran out thinking it was some wolves attacking, I wish it was. I exited my apartment to find people fighting.

I immediately found that one was being bitten by the other as I realize that the person who was biting on to the woman had entirely faded eyes. They smelt like death, as I chopped down on hit arm it broke off, and instead of screaming it kept coming. I knew I needed to put him down or we were both in trouble so I pulled out my pistol and fired a round dead into the mans chest, and he stumbled back.

But he didn't go down. Out of fear I fired 3 more shots and finally it went down as I fired the last shot at it's head, it slammed into the ground and finally stopped moving.

I was sweating and swearing as I started to look around and found many things like this. I began to run around and start helping in any way as I started taking down more of these people. Every situation I started to see people do the same and we started leaving multiple people in the streets as we cleared the streets of these things.

I was then approached by a man named Gerard Dratch, who spoke of these people as zombies. At first I was extremely skeptical as I can't believe what he was saying, yet after looking back on what just happened, I began to believe him.

As he spoke he told me he was the Captain of the militia arm of the North American De-animation Unit was tasked to recruit citizens to aid with the containment of these zombies and similar creatures. He told me of this being an opportunity to do a service for my nation while also making money, with each zombie being 100 dollar. You know what I said I would like to join the militia, not only as a way to make money, but also this might help me understand what's happening in this town. As this is starting to open my eyes to the idea that the super natural exists.

And hey, being able to buy a bed would be nice.

Alright I think I lost it.

I found this old lady who people were referring to as the Oracle. A homeless middle aged woman who looked to have done a bit too much skooma.

She spoke as if there could be fate hidden behind her words and 1000 dollars.

I decided, "**** it not gonna be the strangest thing I'll do today". So I ran off to kill some zombies and pay for it like that, which only took like 5 hours so that was fun.

But I came to get a prophecy, so that is what I better get.
The woman took my money, and with a voice as clear and articulate as can be, which defiantly not expected she spoke of the Melrose Venue She told me to hurry as she put it, fate waits for neither mortal, nor immortal. Which doesn't give me much hope for my future.

The dumbest part is that I'm planning on going that way now. I want some form of understanding of what is going on in this town. And maybe this migraine would go away. It's been following me since I got here, its been waning and then it spiked again today I. No medicine has helped me and I just want to walk around and not have my brain feel like I was hit in the side of the head with a baseball bat.

I hope what ever is in here, I can find an answer or two.

**** me this hurts.

I went to where that woman told me to go I followed the street lights and I found myself out side an Auto Body shop. I asked "Why here?" when I heard a man yell.

I ran over to find a man biting down on another mans neck. Put it as a gut reaction of taking down zombies, I fired a shot directly at the mans head to put him down fast.

Instead he pulled away and dodged the shot in as blur of motion. And unbelievable feat that I've never seen before as he rushes me like a lightning bolt.

He shoulder tackled me and threw me a few good yards as I was slammed into the brick wall of the shop. As he came over and locked his teeth down onto my neck.

As I felt him sucking out my blood I remembered the hunting knife I bought this morning since my bat broke the night before. I pulled out the knife and slammed into his ribs as it dug deep. It cried out in pain and threw me off to the side.

I ran off to hide and cover up my wounds. I heard the man began to crawl around, and hunt me down as he began to say, "Come on out, I want a little bite". As he came closer I slinked away and back to my gun.

As I grabbed my gun and turned I found the man right on top of me and grabbing my neck. I pulled the trigger three times aiming for his chest. Hoping any one of these shots would make him scurry away, as he seems to be tougher than most.

It worked as he let go of me and yelled in pain and allowed me enough time to run off.

I made it back home safe, yet I feel extremely light headed from the blood I lost.

Thankfully I spent a good bit on medical supplies so I can patch myself up, but now I'm left with more questions, what was that? What else is in this town? And what kind of stuff in store for me following this trail?

I'm gonna visit the Oracle again, she seems to know when and where things are happening, if nothing else. Maybe I'll find more answers through her knowledge. I need to know what that was before anything else, he wasn't human but he had the mental capacity to think and speak, but he was beyond reason of human ability for strength and speed. Maybe this place is holds darker things. Hmm maybe I should look online to see if any one has found anything on this.

That cafe nearby should do for access to the internet. Ir'd be a start at least before throwing myself into harms way like that again.

Alright so after a bit of research I found some interesting information on what I saw.

Vampires, werewolves, cannibals, a new breed of zombies, or I was high off my ***. The last one sounds most believable as it is the one that makes me feel the safest, yet I know is false.

I dislike how far I'm going down this rabbit hole of the supernatural. I feel that if I go too much further I will find myself heading too far in to get out, and that Oracle chick might be more and more believable every time.

Hell I feel as if I'm already too far in.

But I'm this far, this might lead me to what mom spoke of. Hell it might give me some better closure than it was a zombie.

So I did some research. I found some interesting things yet the most terrifying one is: If you are bitten by any one of these things does that make you that creature? Or well I assume transform into that creature.

I'm going to assume not as those being bitten by Zombies are fine, they just need to treat the bite with caution from the high risk of infection that the human mouth brings.

Whatever it was I should be fine of all normal concerns. I cleaned the wound, I don't feel bad or sick, and I am regaining my footing so I should be fine of any sickness. Hopefully.

I still can't get the idea of what that thing was. If I had to take a guess vampire? Would explain the different actions it took. It spoke proper English, it moved with a higher form of function, and went for the neck. I can't quite believe it. The sun was out, how could it be? Don't they die in the sun? We were out of the sun, maybe it was worried about the sun getting too high and actually reaching it?

I hate thinking like this. It makes me seem like I'm becoming like that damn woman. Yet she pointed me there and I found myself in a strange circumstance.

I wanna try another 'prophecy' and if nothing shows up I'll know it was a fluke. But if I get something else, I. I don't know what I'll do.

Jesus I am in way over my head.

I am way in over my head, what did I get myself into?

I asked the woman for another prophecy. She asked for another 1 grand. Having spent a good bit of time getting money by hunting down more zombies, I begrudgingly passed the money along as she told me to head into the woods and fate will unraveled.

Man was that a terrible idea to follow those directions.

So I traveled into the woods and hoped to have found nothing other than just some trees and maybe some strange looking rabbit. Nope this was not that.

I began to hear a strange and hauntingly beautiful melody deeper in the forest. I found myself nearly forced to follow the magical song.

Why did I follow? I should have just turned back.

Along the way, I began to notice little white spiders going in the same direction as I did. I should have left when I arrived at the destination, there sat on a large rock was a beautiful woman. Who began to sing with a voice that enchanted me with every word. And she held a bewitching beauty that no man would deny. And without my knowing I moved towards her.

As I moved towards her, it seems I wasn't the only one who heard her song. Before I could get near her, a random man looking as if he had become a ravenous animal charges forward in and throwing me to the side.

And by god I'm thankful for whoever sent him in my place as when he neared her, her arms came out to embrace him. As he grabbed onto her I saw him cuddle in as her head began shift as her mouth became this large maw and her forehead opened up to show 6 more eyes, with her arms began to shift and form into these grotesque appendages that appear to be like spider legs.

She did not hesitate in beginning to devour the man. I was in shock as I began to feel a sick feeling come from my stomach as a cold chill ran up my arm as I looked and found the spiders that came had started to wrap my arm in webbing, as I screamed and ran.

I ran all the way home and have locked myself in the bathroom washing myself of the webbing. Over and over I could not get the feeling of them crawling on me, and then that giant one put the fear of god into me as I am now baring my windows up right now in hopes to stop that thing from coming into my apartment.

God, I'm gonna have a nightmare or two tonight.

Nov 3rd, 2019

So I spent today recuperating from yesterday.

More like spending the entire day coping with what happened.

I left my apartment once to procure a stronger weapon, as a small pistol and a baseball bat would probably ineffective against something that big.

I'm still slightly scared, but after a night of constant watch I can be sure that I was not chased and eaten by that spider thing. And now my fear for spiders has grown from a dislike to outright phobia.

Other than calming down and getting my head on straight I have came to terms with the supernatural existing. I hate to admit to it, but I gotta say that Oracle is starting to seem more legit every time I talk to her.

Now I have to figure out where I'm going from here. I want to answer these ever flowing questions in my head, yet I am also afraid if I go too deep I will find something that will bring upon me something worst than death.

I don't know what I'm looking for, a big mystery? A Death? Who knows? All I know is I want to fill this craving of the unknown.

That part doesn't matter right now, I'm gonna go to that café tomorrow to do some research on vampires and all myths around them. It would help as not only my first encounter was a near confirmed vampire, but also, with them, being supernatural I could feasibly find some info on what I saw yesterday.

I wonder what else the North American Deanimation Unit hunts other than zombies? Vampires? Would make some sense as they are undead. Maybe Vampires are a touchy subject with them? Who knows. I hope I find some answers tomorrow.

Alright so i just found out Vampires are very real.

So real that they are already known about and has already been introduced to the general public.

Was I just unaware or something? I did live in the US when this was reported, but still. I would assume a good portion of the world would already know, and I just feel like I missed something huge. Like life changing huge. Like that 'What the **** how did I miss this?' huge.

I tried to remember what I was doing during that time and I could not figure it out. It might have been with my grandparents during that time. I did go through that whole depression and near lifeless phase. That is a thing that I do need to remember for later, however, I found some interesting information:
- Vampires live among us quite normally.
- They are tracked and monitored.
- And they even are marked to show they are vampires.

First off, Jesus Christ I am way behind on things. I seem to have not even been living in the same place as everyone else. Am I the only one who doesn't know about this whole vampire thing? Or is it just that it wasn't publicized properly? Second off, I'm slightly thankful that they are marking vampires out of my own fear, however I know that's very wrong as people shouldn't be sticking labels onto others. But my experience with vampires so far have been not so great so my opinion is skewed a bit as I can still feel the damage left by that vampire.

I'll need to start looking into that whole thing of vampires, but right now I have a bigger problem. No where it says anything about what that spider creature was, nor did it say anywhere that vampires could transform, then past that it seems even stranger as it ate him instead of sucking him dry. I am terrified to now know that there are even more **** hiding in the dark.

In all honesty I think this was a terrible choice, coming here seems to have left me with more questions and no answers. I am here following my Mother's word and all I'm getting right now is just more questions and leaping deeper into the pits of hell.

In all honesty, I'm terrified, and I don't know what I'm gonna be doing. I have a bit of a thing going on here with the whole militia thing, but I don't care about that. Sure I'm helping people, yet . why stay? Why would they stay when people know vampires, zombies, and strange beings of the such are running around? Is it their love of their home town? Maybe they don't know? But what about all of the missing people? What do they think? I have too many questions right now.

I think I'm gonna
I think I will
Maybe I shouldn't
Why would I
**** THIS

I think I might be going crazy but my mother has sent me here for a reason. I should at least get to the bottom of it, if not get something more out of this than just questions. Maybe an answer or two. First I should send them a letter seeing how they are doing. Also informing them my phone is gone so it would be hard to contact them and I lost their email, so we should get that settled right away. I'm gonna ask them how Pops and Gram are doing. I wonder how it is in their estate? Man it has to be warmer than here, that's for sure.

It would be good to hear from them again. Kinda starting to miss them. Or really any proper friendly faces.

Nov 5th, 2019

Alright so I wrote my letter.

It mostly was very simple as I don't want to bother them with my own troubles here:
- Talking about as how getting here was alright and I seem to have lost my luggage while transferring through customs. Lying so neither of them worry about my strange awakening here. And getting like worried mothers would and start worrying more.
- I did however talk about the zombie militia thing, As they will ask about work eventually, and I know I can't lie to them about that. God I hope they Don't get too worried.
- I did ask them if they did know about vampires. Talking about how they are actually real and I saw one. But not that I was attacked by it, that would be very bad for both of their hearts.
- But after that I did start talking about how while I was here it has been pretty good, I have seen many friendly people and had found my job fulfilling as it allows me to help and protect people.
-Finally I ended it with a simple I love you both and hoping that the both of them are doing well, as well as asking if Gram and Pops is doing well.

Hell I wish I didn't feels so worried, I feel as if something is wrong, but I don't know what it is. I'll probably take a walk at night to clear my mind. Sure things could be out there at night, but I did join the militia. Hunting the zombies at day or night is a normal thing. I might be able to rid the world of some more zombies as I try to clear my thoughts. I just hope I don't run into that strange spider again.

Oh please don't be there when I'm out. I don't know what I would do versus it.

Nov, 6th 2019

Well, I last night was incredibly crazy.

Last night was a great time to take a walk, it was nice and cold out with the street lights making a nice dim lit walk. Yet I felt a strange pull towards the forest, out of morbid curiosity, I headed in for a bit until I decided it was a good time to head back. Yet when I was about to turn I saw a small one man plane began to plummet towards the earth. Out of a gut reaction I began to sprint towards the crash sight to find a woman already there and the strange plane there. As he both worked to get the person inside out we broke open the door to see a woman in a red coat, and once I pulled her out of it to get her free she had a black dress on. It was weird to say the least yet I was there to help so I did.

Yet it started to get stranger as... [To be continued when the thread is finished]
