Series 1 Episode 7: Happy Birthday

Bloom had been waiting for this day ever since her sudden transformation from vampire a fairy, with a pulse, as today Vlad and his friends were at chess club so they wouldn't disturb her and her father was avoiding her because she was pregnant and Ingrid didn't care and was too busy doing her own thing and Renfield was with her father, doing god knows what humiliating task.

Bloom sat down on the floor and began to meditate, she then closed her eyes and felt something, something inside of her, moving, giving her strength, she then focused on that feeling and felt warm, she felt energy surge through her body, she opened her eyes and looked down at herself and found that her clothes had changed, she was now wearing a sky blue, glittering teal top and skirt and boots, she glanced over her shoulder and sure enough she saw her fluttering wings, she took her left hand and lightly caressed her wings, she felt her touch on it and it sent a pleasurable shiver down her spine, she made a mental note how sensitive they were, she felt her wings flutter slightly from her soft touch. She started to flap her wings and found herself slowly rising up off the ground she got out of the meditation position and found her feet hovering off the ground, she stopped her wings movement and dropped down onto the floor, landing on her feet due to her vampiric reflexes even if at the moment she was more like a breather than a vampire, she had breath and a pulse.

"What am I?" Bloom asked herself slowly as she looked over her current form, she closed her eyes and felt the power that had been surging through her, she calmed her emotions and the power within her and she felt it begin to drain from her body. when she opened her eyes again she was back to normal which only added to her confusion especially since she could still feel the power within her, just hidden. However, what really added to her confusion was the fact she was now the size she would be at 12 months pregnant, Bloom sped down to the library, her vampire abilities restored and, the candles were lit the minute she reached the books and began flicking through countless books looking for answer to what she was and why she had suddenly was the size of a blimp.

2 Hours Later…

Bloom tried to pull a book out, to find it jammed and when she pulled to a landscape position to pull it out easier the book-case ejected itself from the wall slightly before sliding to the side to reveal a secret passageway, she looked down and aw old dusty stone steps that led into the darkness below and hesitantly began to walk down the stairs and looked into darkness if she hadn't been a vampire she would have been walking blind.

When she reached the bottom she found several more book cases, however, in the middle of this room was a wooden pedestal were an old dusty book laid closed, a clasp at it's side locking it, she approached the book, something was pulling her towards it, she noticed that the book had a latch on it and was locked, she placed her hand on the latch and traced it with her fingertips, as soon as her hand made contact with the book's latch it unlocked and flipped open as did the book itself, revealing its pages and its secrets.

The pages began turning on there own with such speed that even with Bloom speed she couldn't see the words on the page until the pages stopped and stayed open on a page that spoke of a power of the dragon fire, as soon as Bloom read about what the dragon fire was, where it was from and how powerful it was another old dusty book fell onto the floor from one of the higher shelves, it fell open, a cloud of dust arose into the air, Bloom flashed in front of the book and picked it up open, blew the dust off its pages and read it, it spoke of a royal family of a planet called Sparx that was supposedly either destroyed or dead after been the kingdom was attacked by three ancient witches, however, the two daughters supposedly escaped, Bloom turned the page and saw a picture of the family and instantly recognized them as the people from her dream, her eyes were drawn to the baby in the picture, she gasped, her eyes widening in shock.

"But that's me...but that's not possible...ah my head…" Bloom cried out, her palm flashing to her forehead, before dropping the book, she fell to her knees and clutched her head with a second hand, images flashed in her mind, images of Sparx, her original family, her sister her fate and the last image was that of her fairy self. Once it finished bloom fell back and sat on the floor with one hand on her head bloom then began to glow and she looked down at her lower belly and saw her baby through her skin but she didn't see one baby she saw two, one boy and one girl, the glow around her intensified and lit up the dark, musty room, Bloom felt pain thunder through her mind and body a like, a pain so great it couldn't be described, she felt like her insides had been set a light and the heat she felt continued to increase yet she didn't decompose into dust.

The glow dimmed and faded until it was non existant, Bloom slowly opened her eyes, they adjusted to the dark and recovered from the light, she felt something in each of her arms, she looked down with a curious expression to see a baby in each if her arms and her belly had returned to what it had been before that night, Bloom felt a warm smile grace her lips, her first genuine smile since Sky, since finding out she was pregnant, she felt warm inside, the babies smiled back at her, slightly giggling, however, what surprised bloom was that her babies already had a mouth full of small teeth, their canines began to sharpen into fangs, small but good enough to use to feed, a voice began to whisper within Bloom's mind.

"Bloom do not be alarmed…your babies are special, the only reason they have fangs as of how they came to be, you drank vampire blood which reacted to the power within you while you had two babies within you who also drank the blood causing the fangs to develop…the blood caused the fangs to develop which is how you will feed them, with your blood and the blood you drank reacted with your power allowing them to be born this way…do not ask questions as they will be answered in time" the voice whispered in a warm, comforting tone before fading away.

Bloom would of tried to figure the voice out and find its source, but now was too busy, she needed to name her babies and figure out the best way to tell her younger brother he was an uncles and Ingrid was an aunt and her father was now a grandfather she smirked at the idea of how he would react, but now the question of the hour was what to name her babies, she took them out of the secret room and as soon as she left the room the secret passage hid itself again.

1 Hour Later…

Vlad returned home and headed up to his room to play chess with Zoltan, mainly just to practise, her could barely understand the game and Chloe kept beating him, when he entered the room he froze when he saw his sister holding two babies in her arms. Bloom looked up and smiled at her younger brother.

"Hi Vlad, it looks you're an uncle huh Vlad, well meet my daughter, your niece Angel and my son, your nephew Talon" Bloom introduced while indicating to each of her babies as she said their names, Vlad approached Bloom and her new babies, he brought his hand near the one named Talon, Talon grabbed Vlad's index finger and let out a little cute laugh bringing a smile to the pre-teen vampire's face.

"But...how?" Vlad asked, to say he was surprised was a severe understatement, he'd only been separated from Bloom for an hour and he comes back to find she's had two babies, Bloom explained to Vlad what had happened, including the whisper in her mind and what she found in that secret room, not telling him how to get into it though, much to his disappointment, she told him everything else though, excluding anything about her turning into a fairy, she still didn't feel confident about telling anyone about it yet, heck she still didn't understand it herself.

Their dad flashed into their room.

"Vlad it's time I taught you how to become a chess master like m…" the stopped when he saw Bloom and her children, his eyes rolled into the back of his head and he fell on his back unconscious, Bloom smirked, chuckling at her fathers reaction, he came back to the land of the 'living' about an hour or so later, Bloom and Vlad had just waited for him to wake, Bloom wanted to get this over with and there was no way Vlad was going to miss this, the Count's gaze once again fell on Bloom and her children.

"And what…have we…here?" the Count asked as he glared at the babies in her arms. The count flashed to his feet and only inches away from Bloom and bared his fangs at Bloom and the infants, Bloom then held her babies so that they were looking over her shoulder, her irises turned crimson and she bared her fangs at him and glared right into his eyes, lightening was heard outside as the Prince Of Darkness and the Queen Of Darkness glared at each other and the castle shook slightly. The Count also made eye contact with Bloom and saw something that he had never seen in bloom before, it was like how she is when the family is threatened but only a million times worse and stronger, she was so protective of her children and it was easy to see even for the Count that even a clearly empty threat would cause her to unleash her wrath at full force, the Count stood back upright and took several steps back to get away from Bloom before he did something he'd regret very quickly, after all you don't live for six hundred years by taking unesassery and stupid risks, like pissing a woman off after she just gave birth, especially when said woman could make his life a living hell.

"These are my children dad, Angel and Talon" Bloom said, her glare vanishing when her father backed off, Vlad proceeded to explain to his father everything Bloom had told him, excluding information about the secret room. Bloom brought her babies back into the cradling position they were in before, she began to gently rock them back fourth, when Angel then bit her arm, causing Bloom some pain but she simply smiled down at her.

"What is she doing?" asked the Count, he'd never seen anything like this before.

"Feeding, since I tested Vlad's blood so many times and in result drank they did as well so they developed fangs and so this is how they feed" Bloom explained, the Count looked at Talon who let out a long and cute yawn and he saw no fangs Bloom noticed the Count looking at her baby's fangless mouth "They can retract their fangs" Bloom put in for her father.

The Next Day…

Bloom took her babies down stairs and placed them in a pram next to each other, the count had their old one in the crypt so it was like the castle, dark, dusty and creepy but it was the best they could do, the Dracula's were currently heading down to parents evening, bloom decided to go ahead with her babies (not affected by sunlight, not 16 yet and they're half human) Bloom walked at a normal human pace so not to cause her children discomfort.

Parents Evening…

Bloom had run into the Branaghs.

"Oh and who is this?" Elizabeth said in her usual cheery voice as she peered into the pram at the new borns who appeared older than new borns as they had features, Angel had red hair like her mother and blue eyes, Talon had black hair and also had blue eyes.

"Elizabeth meet my children Angel and Talon" Bloom said proudly as she smiled down at her babies lovingly.

"Really well you didn't look pregnant at all the last time I saw you and aren't you a bit young for…" Elizabeth asked while indicating towards the babies.

Bloom quickly looked into Elizabeth's eyes, her own turning a sickly yellow.

"This is completely normal" Bloom said in a hypnotic and simple tone before eyes returned their normal colour of cyan blue after she proceeded hypnotized the rest of the Branaghs who didn't know she was a vampire.

Half An Hour Later…

Bloom was wheeling the pram down the hall way in search of her father when she smelt something, something not human, it smelt like a rotting corpse yet the scent was moving, she followed the scent to one of the class rooms and pushed it open to find a zombie type thing with a stake she then saw the target was her family, Bloom's rage rose as did the temperature of the room, Vlad then turned to see bloom shoot a fire-ball, and a powerful one at that, which struck the zombie and forced him against the wall of the class room he sunk to the floor and looked up at her weakly, the stake he'd been holding was now a pile of ash beneath his rotting hand.

"Whoa sis I've never seen you so mad" Vlad gasped when he saw Bloom, there was a fire in her eyes and everyone could ractically feel her rage.

"No one and I repeat no one tries to slay my family" Bloom roared in a full on demonic voice void of anything human.

"Wait a minute Vlad how many black nights are on the board" Robin asked, he'd been trying to find a way out of checkmate in order to save him and thier family from been staked when he noticed something he'd previously over looked, his face lighting up.

Vlad then began to count the pieces slowly "1...2...3 he was cheating" Vlad declared, Bloom wore a confused expression so Vlad spoke up and explained about dad cheating at chess to marry Magda and since he cheated Shand Du had come back to slay him and his family before going off to find Magda and be with her and the Count ended up having a rematch with him, which only made Bloom roll her eyes at how pathetic the whole situation was, their was the sudden sound of crying filling the room.

Chloe looked at the babies "Why are they crying?"

"Because their hungry" Bloom replied in a simple yet caring tone as she sat her babies up in their pram and put her hands in front of them, they instantly bit into her and began to feed, Chloe went slightly pale at the display unlike Robin who looked upon them with excitement and a joyful expression.

"Don't worry Chloe they can only feed on me, it just means I'll be drinking more blood from dad's blood cellar' Bloom said getting an annoyed look from her father, but he dare not protest, besides he hoped with Bloom drinking human blood around Vlad may help him to become more vampiric.
