Abnormal

Your eyes opened, The sensation of someone shaking You rousing You from unnatural unconsciousness, "Charles..." Peering up lazily, You saw a familiar face through stars, the sharp pale but beautiful face staring down at You coldly, Her usually neatly cut long bob a mess of unkempt scruff "Cleo?" You said the disorientation muddling Your thoughts as You sat up, looking around You recognized the ruins of Blue-Drake Manor, the rain was still falling, the cold drops washing over Your face "W-What happened, what's going on?" You muttered, noticing how angular and twisted her face was, she looked unhinged, like she hadn't fed in days, eyes burning wildly as she helped You get to Your feet.

"I... I came to see you, I needed a smile, just for a minute... but while I was watching You, the lightning strike-"

You felt a chill flash down Your spine, agency flooding into Your body as You pushed her aside "Diana!" You cried, moving through the ruins to the drive where You remembered the hideous flash that struck at Your sister.

Frozen in the broken entrance of Your home, You stared out into the drive which itself now had a small ruined crater in it, where Your sister had been struck, the smoldering smoking hole of blackened dirt and stone sizzled in the Rainfall, "Mr. Drake..." Cleo quietly muttered, appearing next to You, You didn't even hear her, running to the crater while a deep terror boiled in Your guts, You jumped into the small crater, searching frantically in the desolated whole while muttering over and over "Please... Please... Please..." but the Hole was empty, she wasn't there "She isn't in there?" Cleo said, looking down at You as Your eyes flashed, She seemed to know that You were coming, yet Your speed was incredible while adrenaline pumped through Your system, leaping up and seizing her by the throat You pushed her back into the Stone of one of the Manor walls, face twisting angrily as she gasped, Your grip tightening as You growled: "Where is my sister." You said in a low, monstrous tone, Cleo's fingers clutched at Your hands, trying in vain to get You off of her before slumping in defeat "Kill me, just get it over with, kill me like You killed my Lover."

FIND DIDI, MAKE HER TELL US WHERE SHE IS!

You shook Your head, ripping the beast's commands from Your mind "Listen to me, I don't care to deal with Your drama right now, I don't care about You, I don't care to discuss what happened with Hawkins, Just tell me where my sister is!" Cleo quivered under Your touch, her body twitching unnaturally at Your malice "Master!" Turning Your head, You saw Belle, peaking Her head out of the Cave's entrance, a grim terror on her face "Belle, where is Diana!?" She frowned, gesturing inside, You immediately dropped Cleo, allowing her to fall to her knees, Your sister's safety being the only thing on Your mind being Your sister's safety.

Rushing towards the Cave's doors, You noticed the trail leading there, string of black viscous liquid that smelt like singed blood and flesh, grimacing You charged at the doors, but found Belle blocking Your way with a distraught nervousness "What are You doing!?" You asked, afraid and angry "Please don't go in there, Master..." Your heart dropped, face twisting further as You grabbed her "Move out of my way, Belle!" You said, pushing her aside, the scent of burning meat filling Your nostrils.

But Your rush quickly halted, Rose rushing around as You slowly walked in shock towards the center of the room, splayed on the Large coffee table, pushed into the middle of the room where Rose quickly worked with several strange vials, was a body... charred, ruined, the blackened corpse was seared right down to the soft tissue, a disgusting mixture of red, sickening brown and charcoal black.

All of her hair was completely burnt off, You couldn't recognize her face anymore, the clothes obliterated and melted into her flesh, but You knew it was her, Her blood smelt the same, singed and destroyed as it was.

Rose paused for a moment, looking as You stood there in shock, unable to talk, unable to speak or even move, Rose's eyes flickered to the cave entrance, "I told You to keep him outside!" Belle stammered but Cleo sneered "I don't take Orders from You Inquisitor, Why are You even helping a Human!?" Rose walked up to You, her hands were stained with blackened blood as they touched Your face "I-I'm sorry... I think that we should take Her to a human healer, she is on the verge of ****." You said nothing, the shock keeping You from doing anything but just staring at Your sister's body.

"Charlie?" Rose said, she watched You watching Your sister, noticing Your expression suddenly change from shock to confusion, slowly turning to look at Diana's charred body... as it began to writhe vigorously.

Exploding with a sudden surge of insidious power, Diana's body began to convulse, bones cracking, flesh smoking, as she began to glow with scarlet energy, crackling with bolts of flashing electricity as an ungodly **** began to erupt from her, like a storm everything around You began to push back on the wave of power, You flew backward, digging Your claws into the ground to keep from being blasted into oblivion, Rose shielded her eyes with her arms, only barely keeping on her feet as dazzling red light filled all sight "WHAT IS HAPPENING!?" You heard Belle scream, holding on tight to a shower curtain as You grunted, the crackling electricity making Your hair stand up on end, the bellowing **** only just easing slightly as the Crimson light began to subside.

"Is everybody alright?" You called, looking around, Rose gave You a nod, Belle face down on the ground looked up with a thumbs up, though tears streamed down her face, Cleo was pressed against a wall, a shocked look on her face.

You turned Your eyes to Your sister, Your eyes widened, looking at the table where the corpse had been, naked as the day she was born and glowing red hot like an untempered bar of steel, Your sister lay there, skin smooth, unburnt and flawless, small embers rising from her form as she sat up to look around.

Diana's hair, Black as night, streaked down her naked form like a cloak, even longer than Rose's, the black locks stretched down to her shins, partially covering her as she raised an eyebrow, She touched at her hair in quiet confusion, noticing the long Ivory streak in the front part of her fringe "What the-" She flushed, noticing that she was naked, scrambling to cover herself as You, rose and Belle approached her "Does somebody want to tell me just what the fuck is going on..." Diana paused again, touching her neck and clearing her throat "Does somebody..." She paused, angrily clearing her throat again "Why do I..." Her voice was higher, softer, not the strong and imposing one that she had learned to develop as her normal self "Why do I sound like a teenager!?" She said, staring down at her breasts and squeaking like a church mouse "WHAT HAPPENED TO MY FUCKING TITS!?" it was true, they were smaller, perkier, her smooth body a little more petite than before, You mouthed wordlessly "You're... younger?"

"18 by the smell." Rose muttered, sniffing at the naked Diana who gritted her teeth "What do You mean 18, I'm 29!?" she said angrily, She caught You staring "Stop staring and Get me something to cover up Chippy!" She paused again, "Oh my god I sound like I did in College!" You nodded, looking at her in utter confusion "This is some serious Deja Vu, put You in an East-Wallace Jersey and it would be like a flashback or something?" Diana began to shake, terror on her face "I'm... I'm gonna have a fucking Panic attack." You rushed to her, "No, shhh it's alright, It's gonna be okay." You said trying to comfort her, remembering the insanity of her teenage emotional eruptions, a far contrast to the cool control that she would demonstrate in her later years, She hyperventilated, breathing hard and fast as You turned to Belle "Turn on the shower!" You commanded, she looked confused but did as You said, You looked at Rose who was still swollen in an enigma "Don't just sniff at her, get some water!"

Diana sat in the large tub, the cold water running through her insanely long Black hair as she rocked "This is insane, this can't be happening, I can't be a fucking teenager again I fucking hated being a teenager-" You interrupted Your sister, gripping her shoulders and looking into her youthful face "Less talking, More counting!" She nodded her head shakily, closing her eyes and beginning to count to herself.

Marching up to Rose, You rubbed Your eyes, the place was a mess "Please tell me that You know what is going on..." Rose frowned shrugging, "In all of my years I've never seen anything like that... although." Your head perked up "Although what, come on spill the beans!" Rose rubbed her chin "When she was restoring, it wasn't anything like us, it was more like an alchemical reconstruction." You tilted Your head, Rose rolled her eyes "When you Deconstruct an alchemical element, it releases a negative charge, leaving the element bare and blank..." You nodded, "when The lightning struck her?" Rose nodded, "But if the element is introduced to the right combination of Alchemical Partner Elements, it can reconstruct itself beyond its original form, creating something new, that same Crimson light occurs when an Alchemical circuit is completed in a crucible, and the **** and energy were created by the excess energy that she was producing during reconstruction!" You frowned "You lost me again." Rose took You by the Arm, dragging You over to the kitchen.

"In summary." Rose said, going over what she just showed You once more, "You take the blood sample and deconstruct it," Rose tipped the blood once again into the strange alchemical beaker, watching as it began to sizzle into a pool of blacked goop as red electricity struck into it, "Then we introduce The Nightshade and Belladona Elixer." She poured two vials into the tar-like blood, quickly swishing them around for a moment before pouring them into the large Crimson glowing bowl in the center of the setup, that she called a "Crucible" quickly placing a lid on top, a red light flashed for a moment, rose having to press down hard on the Lid so that it didn't fly off, after a moment, she removed the lit, You watched as Smoke and embers flew up from the mixture "The Blood mixes with the two partnered elements, the reconstruction beginning in the crucible and then..." She tipped the new contents into a vial, presenting the almost luminous red substance to You "You get ****'s kiss, Human blood with all of it's restored qualities but with a few new qualities added to it also."

You took the Vial in fascination, "So Diana was hit by the lighting, destroying her, but then something in her body made her reconstruct into something new?" Rose nodded, happy to see that You finally got it "New and More powerful." Rose whispered as You looked over to the shower area curiously "No normal Human body would react to energy this way..." You looked at her, "So what are You saying, Diana, isn't human?" She shook her head "She's Human, just... something else as well, it seems that Your father knew more than He told you, or her it seems." You crossed Your arms "She's always had her condition which was anything but normal, but Dad always said it was a Mental thing, this... this is something else entirely."

"I will have to conduct more tests if she will allow it." You nodded thoughtfully "Let's just make sure she is okay first, I don't want her under any stress if I can help it."

Diana looked scared as You entered the shower area, not as scared as she did, Her shower routine seemed to calm Her a little "Charlie, I don't know what's happening to me." You crouched by her, smiling weakly "Just breathe, try and calm down okay." Diana scowled "Don't tell me to calm down when I'm in the middle of the real-life sequel of seventeen again, calm down, god You're an idiot!" You raised an eyebrow "Jeez I'm sorry..." Diana looked at You, tearing up "No, no I'm sorry, I'm so scared, what am I gonna do, how am I gonna go to work like this, my life is over!?" She said, sobbing as You grimaced "Wow, I've not seen You this emotional in a long time." You wiped her eyes, "Just do me a favor and tell me how this all started from the beginning, the sickness, everything, maybe Rose can figure out a way to help You." Diana sniffled, her cute little button nose flaring as she muttered: "Well after... what happened, I started to get sick, the place where You bit me healed well enough, but then I started to get sick, I just brushed it off as a cold or something but it just kept getting worse!" You frowned "You should have come to me, I would have helped You." She crossed her arms, her perky breasts nestling in her arms, "I know that I just, I didn't exactly feel like talking after fucking my Brother!" she flushed furiously as she heard herself, "A-Anyway, things got worse up until I came here, We went to the chamber and..." You tilted Your head "You don't remember?" She shrugged "It's just foggy, ummm, I remember drinking that weird stuff that dad left me, then I felt really good, like really good. I just wanted to dance and sing, then... there was a flash and then everything went black, suddenly I was on the table and, well here we are." You cringed "You don't remember being struck by a massive bolt of lightning at all?" Diana looked at You like Your were being an idiot, god she looked like a student at the Academy, You had forgotten how petite she was until she had that growth spurt when she turned 20 "Struck by lightning, sure there's a storm right now but I don't think that I'd be struck by lightning when I didn't have anything conductive on me, that makes no sense?" You scoffed "Well alright Einstein Considering that You exploded and there is now a crater on the drive, I would rethink what sense there is in any of this!" She looked like she would retort, but paused, lips pressing together "Oh my god, I'm so fucking Horny." she quickly clutched her mouth in confusion, You were quick on the draw with the showerhead, spraying in her face without a second thought "Fucking my older sister is weird enough!" You thought, "Count again!" She shielded her face, scowling at You "I'm not having an episode You moron, I just... I feel, weird." Diana's hand reached down her body, down her smooth abdomen her fingers traveled, lightly touching at her exposed labia that shone from the shower water "Ew, what are You doing?" Diana held up a hand "Shhh!" she began to lightly press on the surface of her sex, a perplexed look on her cute face as she finally pushed one of her fingers inside "Diana, I really don't want to see this-"

"SHHHH!" She said, gritting her teeth as her finger fiddled around inside, She gasped, stifling a slightly pained moan as shock came on her face "No." She muttered, "You have got to be shitting me." You raised an eyebrow, she blushed fulling her finger free as she looked at You "My Hymen is back." Your face twisted "What!?" She blushed even deeper "Well... I was a virgin, until I turned 18, until Dad..." She cut herself off as You paled "DAD TOOK YOUR-OH GOD URGH!" She started to bat You away with her hands "Out get out, go and get me some clothes!" You cringed running away like she was made of silver.

You ducked back into the Cave, the Heavy trunk effortlessly slung over Your shoulder, Belle blushed when she saw Your strong form emerge "So strong..." She said biting her lip, You grinned, casually walking over to the lounging area where Rose and a still youthful Diana sat, Cleo was lent against the wall, staring at You intently as You moved past her.

The trunk hit the ground with a heavy thud as You set it down in front of them, Diana sat uncomfortably in one of Your new hoodies, the black article large on her slightly smaller form, other than that she wore a pair of black leggings, "I lent them to her," Rose said, hiding her face as You smiled at her, _"She is adorable." _Diana frowned as she looked at the two of You, "Can we hurry this up, I feel weird." She said, blowing a very long black hair out of her face, You chuckled "well, You look adorable." Diana flushed and crossed her arms "Whatever."

After pulling open the Trunk, the three of You began to look through the many contents of the Trunk, Diana shuffled through the many documents, looking with fascination at them "There is so much here, Legal documents, Letters... and recipes too?" Rose's eyes widened, "Alchemical Recipes, Potion notes, and these..." Rose took a bundle of small old looking papers "Spell diagrams." Rose said with fascination "Your father must have been a formidable man to have such deep knowledge in these subjects, no normal human could stand to know this much of the Monster's world." You nodded in agreement, reaching over to take the wrapped sword in your hands "Was He some kind of crazy Warrior-wizard Alchemist?" Rose contemplated the sword looking at it for a moment before scowling "That... let me see that." You handed it to her and she began to unwrap the fabric to reveal the weapon in its full form.

The Longsword was Black as night, it's handle a beautiful spiraling pattern ending in a Sharp pommel, the cross-guard branched out like Deer antlers and the shiny black scabbard held the blade inside tightly, Rose seemed hesitant to touch it, "Dark-silver..." she said, ever so carefully touching the black metal handle, Her skin burned a little when it contacted the metal, "is that like normal silver?"

"No, Dark-Silver is cursed metal, it not only burns us but can be extremely toxic kept in contact with too long... I've heard of this Sword before." You and Your sister looked curiously at her, "unsheath the Blade." Rose said to Diana, giving You a warning look "This may be slightly unpleasant" Rose warned as Diana began to pull the blade free.

Like a subtle wave, the sensation hit You as the Glowing Orange blade was set free, unlike the handle, the Blade itself glowed Orange like the sun, You tensed up, feeling the heat from the blade "W-What is that, it feels like a little sun" You said through gritted teeth, Diana seemed mesmerized by the glowing blade "Just as I thought, this is the Lugh" You tilted Your head, the heat beginning to make You sweat "Lugh, weird name for a sword?" Rose shrugged "In human Celtic myth, Lugh is a God of the sun and the Storm, this sword is legendary among Vampire's, a black sword with a Blade infused with Sunlight, wielded by The Black-Star." Diana closed the sword away, something for which You were very grateful, "That Black-Star, that is what Sol called Dad right?" You nodded, Rose seemed quite surprised "Your father was the Black-Star, that is... interesting." You raised an eyebrow "Gonna clue us in on exactly why it's interesting?" Rose's face became cold "Another time, come we should find a way to change Diana back." You were sure that Diana was just as suspicious as You, but she jumped at the thought of getting back to normal.

The three of You finally came to Your father's Black Journal, You and Your sister stared at it reverently "I can't believe that we actually get to see what's in this." Diana said in her girly tone, "Hopefully this one doesn't try to burn me alive." You said, very aware that at this point, an Anti-Vampire Journey was definitely possible.

Carefully opening the front of the journal You read "Property of Romulus Drake." You raised an eyebrow "Romulus?" Diana shrugged, pointing at the small post-it, not that stuck to the inside of the cover "In Regards to Diana, turn to page 50, Good luck. R."

"In regards to me?" You frowned seriously "He must have known that something like this would happen." just as the note said, You flicked through the many pages, skipping through the heavily filled work until You spotted the page marked with a neat 50 in the top corner, inscribed was "Project Alpha: Diana." You began to read aloud.

"Liz thinks that this one is bound for failure... but I cannot help but feel optimistic if I am successful in this endeavor then Victor will be turning in his grave with jealousy, I will finally be able to produce an heir, and give My love what she wants most: a beloved child." Your sister frowned deeply... but nodded for You to continue, You flicked through some of the contents rapidly taking in information "Attempt No.1: Creation in Subject Alpha has been troublesome so far, I have gathered all of the correct components, but it seems that despite having the correct materials, my theory on transmutation does not apply to living beings, I contemplate now on the impossibilities of replicating something so pure; that being the human soul. But I will not let one failure stop me, Liz seems hopeful and that is all I need to press forward." Diana became grim as You continued on, hugging herself as You spoke "Attempt No.5: Just as I feared, the Biological component rejected any attempt to infuse with foreign magic, It is also worth noting that Creating a Male subject seems to yield less than favorable conclusions, it appears that this is because the DNA that I am using: that, of course, being My own, rejects creating an identical subject, the result must be different from the source and so it seems that producing a female is much more likely. Liz suggested using her DNA but due to her condition, the Magic and Alchemy both reject her Undead physiology..." You paused, the shock of what You were reading... the implications it, "Don't stop." Diana said, eyes welling, heartbroken "...due to this setback, it seems I will have to change the core of my experiment, I think that next, I shall rely less on Magic and more on The Rule of Reinforcement, I hope that after this, I can finally put my Beloved's hopes to rest."

Continuing on, You found a large part of the text in bold, You read "Attempt No.20: I've done it, I've actually done it, I have created life... My success was routed in The Rule of reinforcement, I took all necessary components, destroying them as is custom, infusing the remnants with my DNA and just a touch of Soul manifestation, the Crucible nearly destroyed the Manor when the Restoration process began, but Liz helped keep everything under control, After many hours of incubation, she was there, An artificial human being, Infused with My DNA: A real-life Homunculus." Tears began to fall from, Diana's face, frozen in shock "I wondered if Liz would protest having a Baby composed of only my DNA and none of hers, but when She cradled that baby-no, Diana, I could see nothing but love in her eyes, It was unfortunate that I could not produce a Male Heir, but that can wait for another day, for now, I can just hold my beautiful baby girl and say that I have succeeded." __
