Forbidden Sweets

Chapter 14

The family was in the middle of a deep discussion when a loud knock was heard at the door. Lelia opened the door and was in bewilderment to see Harlow, the head witch standing in front of her.

"BLACK!" Lelia called out, but it was too late.

At that instant, Harlow injected Lelia's chest with something. In doing so, caused Lelia to fall to the ground.

"LELIA!" Black yelled out as he immediately reflected to Super Saiyan Rosé

"You stupid demon, have you forgot what I had told you! She will always be mine!"

"What does that even mean?" Daxton asked.

"Oh, ain't you a cutie!"

Black growled through his clenched teeth and said.

"BRING HER BACK, NOW!"

In response, Harlow only giggled.

Suddenly, the witch vanished outside, where Daxton and Black raced after her.

Harlow, the head witch, creeps back inside and stops at Lelia's deceased figure. The witch spoke an incantation and then the additional pronouncement. "Now, it's time for you to be on the right side and destroy that demon, named Black."

Lelia opened her eyes, once auburn was replaced with yellow ones.

"Go exterminate Black and his son! They want to only see death! If they talk to you, ignore their lies!"

"Yes, master!" Lelia replied, as she orbed out in a lime shade.

As Black and Daxton came back they crossed paths with a certain person.

There stood a woman with ebony hair with yellow streaks through it. The woman's outfit seemed very familiar. Her aura was greenish-yellow and an enraged expression was upon her face.

"You demon vermin!" The woman fumed.

Black was confused. The voice from this hideous being sounded like Lelia, but how? When-

"Dad, it's mom! I can feel it. Don't you?"

"Yes, son. I do."

"My love, come on. What's going on with you?"

"Demon, shut up! Don't talk to me as you know me, you impertinent bastard! YOU'RE KILLING ENDS HERE!" Lelia screamed out, as a higher glow engulfed her body.

"She has no knowledge of us! There's only one thing to do!" Black stated.

"You're not talking about-"

"Yes."

"But this is mom!"

"I know, but your mother and I promised one another this. You stay out of the way!"

Daxton answered in a nod.

At this time, Goku and Vegeta appeared before them.

"I can't believe I keep on doing that!" Vegeta flabbergasted.

"I could sense a change this way!" Goku acknowledged.

"Yeah, it's mom. If I had to guess, that evil witch put a spell and brainwashed her and now she's wanting to eliminate us!" Daxton expressed.

Lelia charged at Black, in riposte he blocked her. She was much stronger with this new evil power.

"So all this time, you were holding back!" Black jest and chuckled.

"Shut up!" Lelia thundered and threw an energy attack at him, which created an explosion to occur.

"Had enough, yet?" Lelia quizzed, when she realized it didn't harm him.

"Not even close! My Enchantress-my love, let's-?"

"DON'T CALL ME THAT!" Lelia interrupted, angrily.

After that, Black was receiving the heated impact that she conflicted on him. There were just a few hits that he managed to block from her. Whatever had come over her-something like a spell. Black's eyes widened for he knew what exactly happened. This was Harlow's plan-her words echo in his mind, "She will always be mine!" Those words meant Lelia was her puppet to do her bidding. As long as that batty witch was around. Lelia would not be safe!

Vegeta and Goku watched as they commented that Black was having trouble and neither one knew what to do.

As the last blow landed Black on the ground. Lelia commanded him to get to his feet.

"My, my Enchantress! I must say this side of you really excites me to no end!" Black admitted, as his blade was hidden underneath his body that was formed seconds ago.

All of the sudden, and one sneaky strike, he slashed his sword into her chest.

Instantly, the spell was broken. Lelia transformed back to her old self. She whispered the following.

"Thank you, my love, I'm free."

Black's eyes began to get wet, rapidly he brushed the liquid away. He didn't want to do this, but they had talked about if one went rogue, it was the other's responsibility to take care of it. Even if the result was death. In all, he couldn't believe it was happening.

Black put his hand on her chest, where seconds ago his blade had cut into.

"I am so sorry, my love, please forgive me!"

"I forgive you," Lelia mumbled in a raspy voice.

She looked into his darkened, sad eyes and enounced.

"It's so peaceful, my love. I'm so at ease."

With that she closed her eyes.

Black took the same hand that he just placed on her wound, which now was soaked in Lelia's red body fluids and spread his hand on her cheek, leaving smudges of blood.

"NOOOO! You can't leave me! PLEASE-my love, open your eyes! I want to see your hazel color stare up at me. I want to see that twitch in your cheeks when you get furious at me!"

With all of Black's pleas, Lelia's body had not once moved.

Black's tears flow down his cheeks. Next, he wrapped his arms around Lelia's lifeless body and pressed it to his very own.

"NOOOO!" Daxton shouted.

Goku and Vegeta felt sad for this family.

Black situated her limp frame carefully onto the ground, where then the boy ran to his mother's dead body. Daxton's weeps of water splashed onto her cold skin.

"Dad?!" Daxton questioned, for he noticed his father's pivot movement.

"Son, I gotta take care of someone. You stay here with your mother!"

After that, Black faded out from view.

In a matter of minutes, Black found Harlow, the head witch, who was unaware of his presence. Directly, Black pulled out his scythe and sliced through the witch's body, destroying her.

Black reappeared, sadness filled within him.

Three spirits came to Lelia's side and each of them held out their hand to heal her abrasion. One of them mentioned that since they were late on arrival for the ceremony. They decided to exchange it to use their healing powers to bring her back to life, instead.

Lelia awoke and thanked them and soon the spirits were gone. Black was relieved that Lelia was among the living.

Unexpectedly, the scenery altered and they all were in a court setting.

"What's going on?" Lelia requested, complex.

"Ah. Lelia Madris. We need to speak to you!" The voice boomed out.
