Soooooooooooooo................ it's an Update! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!

it's also the last chapter of Ark 2! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy!!!!

Which means i'm officially taking a break from writing B.B. for a while! Yaa-........... wait what? Boooooo!!!!! you suck author!!! how could you-...............

yes, yes i know that the hate is coming, but hey i told you this was coming up soon..... it just turned out better story-wise if i ended the ark here instead of trying to force something with the Mating challenge AND Alt's sisters being born. that would just be to much, and really wouldn't make sense with having them take place at the same time or one after the other...... so i did things like this....

here's the worse news, even after B.B is back from break you wont be seeing updates like you used to. gone are the days of a chapter a day almost every day for a month. when i return to writing B.B. next there will be like a few random chapters a month, likely somewhere between 2-5 but i might also have those weeks where i'm compelled to write a chapter a day and post them for reasons only Sally knows............ but yeah expect the lessened post amounts coming, and don't freak out.... this isn't a sign that the author is bored so he's dropping the series, this is a "Holy shit i went off the working plot outline back in chapter 24..... i got to rework EVERYTHING now so that it all works together with the story, and then there are those other stories i have that i want to write, and then researching for A.N.G, and then life, and then school, and then............"

Plus if i'm being honest i've written over 40 chapters of content for JUST this story and i have kinda burned myself out on it..... i find writing other stuff more fun right now because i'm so used to B.B., i figure that giving myself some time away from Alt and the gang will help curb that feeling some and i can get back that "OH writing B.B. is the best, i wonder what i should do next with it?" feeling instead of the "Oh..... yeah, B.B...... i GUESS i should work on that shouldn't i..... Man i wonder what twists i should give to this other series or what it's characters should be like?" i have right now. i still Love B.B., but i also have that new story fever so...............

anyway for those of you who didn't know i've started two new stories which you can find here: D.I. , L.Z:I

so you can check THOSE out while you wait for your vampire crack to return... if you liked B.B. you'll like those, or at least you'll like D.I.....

anyway next ark, ark 3 we have Alt's growing ark which will have him learning new things, taking a more active role in stuff, training and gaining new powers, and adding people to his inner circle of followers...... the ark will end around when he's 12-13 and is ready to go to school which will be the long awaited ark 4(school ark/cluster fuck)

so that's about it......... enjoy this chapter since it's the last you guys will get for quite a while......

ENJOY!!!!!

I opened my eyes only to immediately close them tight once again. EVERYTHING hurt, it was like I had spent all of the day before trying to drown myself in strong alcohol and then decided I only needed an hour of sleep… I think I groaned something that was meant to be “fuck that’s bright” but was instead something like “fffrrrrgggghhbbbrrraaa”.

Ok, is everything working right in my head? Goku>Super man is a mathematically proven fact….. SAO would’ve made a real shitty game in real life with its weird no magic or class system gimmick….. The cake is and always has been a lie……. Heh, lie cake….. I could go for some lie cake right about now…….. Wait ummm, how did I get here laying in my bed in pain again?

I thought back to what I was doing before, it turns out it wasn’t a drunken bender that had me like this but fighting a dragon. Fighting a dragon, ALONE. Fighting a dragon alone and without any real abilities or skills that could ever hurt it besides bleeding on it really hard.

…………Oh, so I’m just going to go out on a limb here and say I didn’t win that first trial…… what was the next one again, Intelligence? Yeah let’s do that, something like a quiz game or chess should be MUCH easier than trying to beat a FUCKING DRAGON in UNARMED COMBAT!!!!!! Why did I think I ever had a chance at that again? Her skin was soft? ………I really should start thinking things through more before trying them………

“Oh, don’t beat yourself up so much Alt, you managed to get a dragon to want to fight you in its peak state. That isn’t some minor accomplishment you know, most warriors can only dream of that honor….” (Lizote)

When I heard that voice I opened my eyes wide and sat up to see Lizote sitting on the side of my bed and looking down at me. I also felt like the room was spinning and like my eyes were about to pop out of my head any moment now.

“Woah…….. W-when did you get back Aunt Lizote?” (Alt)

The woman gave me a small but genuine smile.

“Oh, just a few hours ago…. I just had a chat with Natasha, and now I’m going to have a chat with you. But first I heard about how you handled the Frayed Assurance group, it seems like you managed to quell them and revenge yourself on them even if there were a few problems. I myself have completed our family’s revenge on the arcanes that aided them….” (Lizote)

I can only imagine what Lizote would’ve done with them, a Tepestia with as strong mental powers as hers was not one you wanted seeking revenge on you.

“Oh, well that’s nice to hear. What did you talk to mom about? And what is it you want to talk to me about?” (Alt)

Lizotes expression turned sad as she looked down and away from me.

“Those two issues are much the same thing, I won’t be staying here any longer which means that I won’t be here for my child’s birth in what looks to be only a few days’ time at most. I won’t be here to raise her for much of her early life either, it would put her at risk.” (Lizote)

I just stared at Lizote, I knew already how important this was to her. I knew just how important family truly was to this woman, and now here she was telling me she wouldn’t even be here to see or hold her new child when she was born.

What could ever make Lizote say something like that? I can’t think of anything that would ever get her to…….. Unless………

I thought back to what Lizote told me about her relationship with her own mother, and what that horrible thing did to her and her mind.

“Yes, it’s exactly that. I can’t trust myself around my own child, I might be the biggest danger to her as I am right now after all. I’m returning to my kingdom where I can begin to work through my mind to try and find any other hints of mother’s influence lying in wait inside my mind. At least there any damage that could’ve happened already has and I can be assured that I won’t prove to be a threat to anyone, besides Tessa is there now and at least I already know that I’m not a danger to her…… I can at least protect her from the evils of the Tepestia house while I’m there, that is all I really seem to be good for right now after all….” (Lizote)

I just looked at her, I couldn’t even say anything to that. For all I knew she could have all sorts of hidden shit still in her mind that was implanted by her mother, maybe it WAS for the best she wasn’t around my sisters until she was sure that she was ok to be near them. Even if I wanted to try lying to her to get her to stay, Lizote would just pick that up as the thought formed and it would only hurt her more. There was really only one thing I could do, what I didn’t have the chance to before when she left.

“You know, I can see the healthy souls of both your children inside mom. If they are really going to be born in a few days’ time, then you will be gaining two new children and not just one.” (Alt)

“Alt, I just checked on Natasha’s condition myself. There was only one baby, it seems to have been able to recover by absorbing its twin’s body to restore its own….” (Lizote)

……….Well that is actually kinda creepy…….. But I do know that there are two souls, even if there is only one body….. Fuck, I hope the divines didn’t ACTUALLY make one of my sisters some sort of ghost baby…….

I looked at Lizote, if there was nothing else I could do I would at least make this woman believe that both of her unborn children were still there. Even if one might now have a greater than not probability of actually being a sort of ghost baby or something…..

“Listen Lizote, there may be only one BODY, but there are two SOULS. Two souls that I know belong to your and mom’s children, you can even examine my own mind and memories if you need proof….” (Alt)

Lizote looked at me for a while and was quiet before another small smile broke out on her face and tears formed in her eyes.

“………….I see, so at least the souls of both my children are safe and still present. That makes me happy, there are many ways that a soul may gain a body to live on in. So this is what Natasha meant by fixing things if that was the case…… Alt, I would like you to tell Natasha that my choice for a name is Deliara.” (Lizote)

Lizote got up and walked to the door leading out of my room, she turned back once and gave me one last smile and a wave.

“Thank you for this gift son-in-law, knowing that both my children live despite my own failures in this matter relieves me beyond words. When we see each other again I’ll have to find some way to return this favor, and good luck at your school. Don’t let that Altoria girl you were dreaming about distract you too much while you both are there….” (Lizote)

…………I don’t remember dreaming about anything………… oh well, it couldn’t have been that bad if……. Wait what exactly did Lizote mean by “distract” me? ………….Oh fuck, I hope I didn’t have another of THOSE dreams….. That would be seriously fucking embarrassing for her to see while I slept……

I sat in my bed as I waited for my head to stop spinning and tried to convince myself that whatever Lizote saw was clandestine and not some BDSM sexy time fantasy. I really tried to convince myself of that….

“So, you, Fera, Till, and myself are now all members of the guilds of merchantry and innovation, the explorer's guild wouldn’t accept any new members that weren’t there in person though. As you asked I had Fera, Till, and myself registered as under your direct supervision and direction in both guilds, though I did have to offer a rather substantial bribe to both this branch and the higher ups in the guild of merchantry. There will be formal meetings with representatives with both guilds in a month’s time as they conduct a mandatory evaluation, but I do not think that this will prove to be a problem for us.” (Yan)

I was walking down a hallway with Yan on my way to meet with mom and find out where Rin has been for this past day. Yan was filling me in on the progress she made with the various guilds that had branches in mom’s capital city.

“Yan, we are going to have to refine and remake all of our plans from scratch now, Aren’t we?” (Alt)

“Not all of them Lord Alt, with the new direction that you have chosen to go in much of what we had planned need only be revisited. All that must change is those things that might interfere with your creation of a kingdom of your own, or stand in the way of your gaining power.” (Yan)

………..Yes, but there are so many things that do that……. I had been treating this world as a playground, nothing was off limits and if I ever got into trouble either Sally, mom, Fera, or someone else could pull me out of it……. Not anymore, Sally is gone for now and mom has already been hurt once……. I have to gain my own power, power that I can use myself……

“Yan, now that we have membership to the guild of merchantry I want to begin expanding our drug trading operations. I think it is time we begin to actively cultivate an easily attainable and highly addictive drug that will put all others available to the common people right now to shame, it is also time to begin increasing the level of attention placed in our legitimate business ventures. I would like to play a far more personal role in things this time around too.” (Alt)

“Yes lord Alt, I’ll work on drawing something up and we can begin visiting and directly managing our trading ventures’ stores and production facilities as soon as two weeks from now.” (Yan)

I turned a corner, we were almost to mom’s room now.

“It was also made abundantly clear to me in my fight with Rin yesterday, I need magic and it can’t wait until I attend the courses about it at school. Yan I want you to find a magic tutor that is good at teaching and is trustworthy, I think it’s about time I learned what I can do with my mana.” (Alt)

“…..Very well, but that could take some time lord Alt. Until then I would suggest learning all you can on your own or with those mages that are in Angelic Guard, they may not be great teachers but talking with them still may help.” (Yan)

“Your right, why did I never think of that? …..Huh…. Um Yan do you hear something?” (Alt)

There was a strange panting and heavy breathing sound coming from mom’s door.

Now normally I would have just turned around when I heard sounds that meant mom was “playing” with one of her personal servants since I had a strange mix of understanding acceptance, "Wow that's actually really hot!", and "Well... as long as mom loves me more..." sort of feelings on that habit of mom's, but this sounded different. It almost sounded like someone trying to breathe through something REALLY painful, and not someone gasping and trying to catch there breathe from pleasure. Since it was coming from mom’s room and the one most likely to be inside and the source of these sounds was in fact mom, I opened the door ready for either the mental scaring and confusion that would result from seeing something really hot happen to mom by another woman or to bleed the utter hell onto whatever might be hurting her.

What I didn’t expect was her leaning heavily on a wall with trembling legs standing in a rather large puddle of clear liquid. My brain kinda just shut down at that point, I knew what was happening but my mind refused to process it.

“They’re coming……..” (Natasha)

…………………………..What?..................................

“Who is coming, mom?” (Alt)

I think Yan and mom both looked at me like I was an idiot at that point. I don’t blame them, what I just asked was stupid beyond all belief. I just wasn’t really prepared for something like this to happen yet, especially not today when I had filled my head full of random factoids that I could use in a trial of intelligence against a dragon. I was not mentally prepared for something like this right now, not at all.

“The……….HAH-HAH…….. Babies…… HAH…..” (Natasha)

“Lord Alt your mother’s water just broke and she’s in labor! Don't just stand there!” (Yan)

“Oh, yeah. Right. I’m going to go get Fera then……. Yan, you…. Um…. Help mom? Yeah, you help mom! I’ll go find Fera she’ll know exactly what to do in a situation like this!” (Alt)

I turned around and began running through the palace screaming for Fera.

Wow…. I apparently had Three PHD’s in my last life, but in the face of the miracle of birth I’m a gibbering idiot……. Where IS Fera anyway? Normally I’d have found her by now! Wait, this means I’m going to be a big brother right? I’m not READY to be a big brother!!! Oh Sally, if this is just what getting siblings feels like, what am I gonna do when I become a dad and have kids!?!?!?

I put that scary thought away as I continued running through the palace like a madman shouting for my assassin maid.

“FERA!!!!!! FERA I REALLY NEED YOU RIGHT NOW!!!!! FERA WHERE ARE YOU!?!?!?!?!?..............” (Alt)

I was sitting outside of a room in one of the palace’s medical wings, inside where mom, Fera, Yan, and a quickly cuteness-mind-washed healer were trying to safely usher in the miracle of new life.

I of course was sitting outside like a coward trying to pretend that the shouts and sometimes the screams of the healer that were coming out of that room were all just figments of my imagination. Twisted and disturbing figments of my imagination….

………I feel like I should be inside doing that hand holding thing and telling mom to breathe or something…….

“Yan, you help that girl fix up her hand! And for the love of Altorus don’t try holding the queen’s hand like that again you idiot!!! You can’t help me if your hands are just fleshy paste!!!” (Fera)

……………..or I could be out here not holding anyone’s hand…. Being out here is fine by me………..

“She’s letting out those dark tendril things again!” (Yan)

“Just don’t react when they cut you and they won’t do anything too serious! Could someone PLEASE hand me a pair of sterilized scissors!?!?” (Fera)

“I…. Hic-Hic….. I-I thought you were using those daggers?” (Healer)

“She means for the cord when the baby is fully out you stupid human! Here Fera, Wait what is that!?!?!” (Yan)

“By the Angel……. Are those teeth? So that would make that a mouth, right? But….. All the eyes…….” (Fera)

…………………I hear nothing, nope nothing at all…….. The miracle of birth is a beautiful thing, something that totally doesn’t involve daggers or mouths with eyes…….

“I-I-I don’t want to do this anymore!!!! Even getting spoiled by little Alty isn’t worth something like this!!!! Let me out!!!! Let me out now!!!” (Healer)

“Yan, stop stabbing whatever that is and stop her! I’ll hold these things off!” (Fera)

…………………If this is what happens at all births then I will NEVER have children…………. What could be so bad that it snapped the healer out of my cuteness brainwashing? People have DIED for my cuteness and the chance to be spoiled by me……….. Wait Alt don’t think about that, just sit here and wait for the miracle of birth to be over so you can go greet your new sisters…….

“Is that the Dragonesss?!?!? What HAPPENED to her!?!?!?” (Fera)

“Should we go try and help her?” (Yan)

“NO!!! We have to focus on this and bringing Alt’s sisters into the world, I’m sure the dragoness will be fine!” (Fera)

“Hehehehe……… Lots of darkness! Scary Darkness! Bad darkness! HehahahahahahahahahahaHAHAHAHAHA!!!” (Healer)

“What do we do about this one!?!?!” (Yan)

“She’s too far gone to be any help now, use her like a shield if it comes down to it!!!” (Fera)

I just looked up at the ceiling and hopped that everyone made it out of this ok, but I sure as shit wasn’t going in that room.

…………..Miracle of birth my ass……………………

“Isn’t she beautiful, Alty? This is your sister!” (Mom)

I was trying desperately to ignore the utterly destroyed state of the room with blackish liquid everywhere but on mom and the bed, claw marks all over, and that there were actual big ass dark hued TEETH stuck in places. Fera and Yan were laying in the corner and panting, I didn’t see the healer anywhere.

Didn’t they mention Rin last night? Where is Rin? ………..You know what I don’t want to know, she’s probably fine……… At least everything turned out ok, and my sisters were born……… It’s just, why is one of them immaterial and what looks like about seven years old?!?!?

“Um, yeah she’s cute. I like her hair, it’s like a mix of yours and Lizote’s all at once.” (Alt)

Honestly the baby was really cute, and she was looking at us all and making noises when we talked or clapping and gesturing. She had some fluff on her head that looked to be mostly black hair with a big streak of white down the middle like a racing stripe. It was kinda really cool, but I was a bit more distracted by the seven year old girl who kept waving at me and jumping in place where she floated that my senses were telling me was the soul of one of my sisters.

She was a cute looking kid with clear features from mom and Lizote, but there were also some more exotic features that I didn’t recognize in her face. Like the cheek bones being less sharp and softer, and how she had dimples and what looked like a cute sprinkling of freckles as well. Her long hair that reached her waist was a whitish silver color, and her skin was the same hue of pale white as Lizote’s, but her eyes were different. Her left eye was black and her right eye was a sort of off white color. She was also stark naked and it was clear the she was not very shy about that fact, but then again since she looked to be all of seven there really wasn’t anything for her to be shy about having show yet.

I looked back and forth between the baby, the girl, and mom before just pointing at the girl where she floated next to the bed. The baby started giggling and clapping when I did that and the girl did this sort of happy jumping clapping thing.

“Um, mom do you see her too?” (Alt)

“Nope, but I can sense that something is there! I’m assuming that’s where the soul of my other little baby girl is?” (Mom)

The girl nodded her head, before turning into a sort of white mist and flowing into the baby before another black mist flowed out and turned into another girl that looked basically the same just with a different hair color scheme of black and the eye colors were reversed. She gave me a thumbs up and a bright happy smile.

This is sooooooooo weird……….. I honestly don’t know if I should actually understand what just happened or not……..

“Umm…….. Yeah, but I don’t think the word baby is quite right….. And I think they just switched places or souls or something…….. Um by the way, aunt Lizote said her name choice was Deliara?”

“Oh so my babies are sharing the same body for both souls? They’re so smart and already so good at sharing! That’ll make things MUCH easier later on….. Hmm, Deliara huh? Well I guess That’ll be the name of the one that’s inside their body right now, and the one outside will be my little Seriaya….” (Mom)

I watched as the newly named Seriaya entered the baby’s body and looked closely as I noticed the baby’s eyes change from just straight white to having both eyes being a sort of tie-dye mix of white and black.

“Oh, I sensed that! They’re both in the same body now aren’t they Alty? Oh this is so wonderful! I only wish Lizote was here with us…..” (Mom)

I just nodded as the baby stopped playing with moms fingers to turn and look at me. She winked at me and smiled before giggling and focused back on mom’s cooing and baby talk.

I looked back as Fera shakily got up to stand beside me and Yan appeared to have lost the battle against unconsciousness. I looked at Fera and then looked back to where mom and my sister…… er…. Sisters were having a nice parent-child bonding moment in the middle of this trashed room.

“You saw that too right? I’m not THAT crazy, am I?” (Alt)

“If you mean your baby sister appearing to give you some sort of signal, than yes. I must apologize my angel, but I think I will need to rest from last night. I’ll find someone to retrieve Yan as head to the room, is it alright if I sleep through the day today?” (Fera)

I just nodded and went back to watching my mom and my new sisters playing together. I was going to change, and now I had just gained two new sisters that I wanted to be able to protect with my own power. I wasn’t really sure yet what I was going to do about that, but right now I was sure of one thing…. Well TWO things really. I was sure that I would be the best brother I could, and I was also sure that………..

My sisters are DEFINITLY not normal…….. They probably understand everything we’re saying, and they might even be the same mental age as what their souls or ghosts or whatever those forms are appear to be………. I wonder if they’ll find the happy-family-bonding-bath-times as awkward as I did at first, too?

I felt a smile form on my face as I watched my new sisters turn to look at me and make a sort of grabby “come over here” gesture at me. As I walked towards the bed to be with my newest family members I couldn’t help but start to laugh.

Really, mom really can’t catch a break……. She may never get to raise a normal baby at this rate……….. But then again, I don’t even think she really cares……… And weirdly I don’t think I really care either……. Deliara and Seriara huh? Welcome to the world little sisters, I think you’ll like it here…… and if you don’t I’ll just have to do my best to change it so that you do………………………………………………………………….

so that's it........... please don't now go on a negative rating and reviewing streak on all the other stories since "THIS is the reason we have less vampire crack!!! kill it! kill it with half stars!!!"

Yes Twincest is now confirmed......... also Natasha did NOT handle birthing pains well........ no one died though, so i guess thats a plus........ feel bad about Rin getting abandoned without a second thought about rescuing her though, but when battling darkness itself one does not wade deeper into it to save the smexy dragoness stuck inside.... one just tries to survive long enough for the darkness to go away.....

I'll be back with more Vampire crack by fall at the latest, thats a promise! ...............Unless i die... or get paralized or crippled so that i cant write anymore........... then this would probably be the last chapter of B.B unless i give one of my friends the outline and tell them to carry on my vampire crack dealing legacy and they don't just throw it away because old AaronDragon was writing some crazy shit..........

anyway, hope to see you in my other stories!!!

Author Out..............
