I've been writing this for the last month. When I started, I told myself I wouldn't post it till I have about twelve chapters, which I have now! =D So, I'll start off by posting the first three chapters here and continue once every week, but the day might change depending on if I remember to update or not. Please leave comments. I need to hear what those who read it think of it. And don't worry, there aren't any rabbits that enjoy hurting themselves.
In this world, there are many creatures known to as evil by humans. Vampires, Werewolves, and the other usual monsters small children dress up as on Halloween. After years of trying to coexist, eventually these other creatures gave up, and found their ways into their own planes that the humans aren't easily able to enter. These planes have many names, but that is not important. This takes place in one of those planes, one where those ghastly creatures coexist and interact in their daily lives.
Each type of creature is represented by the greatest of their kinds. The representative of the witch's is a fearsome witch who over time has gained the name Black Widow, due to the fact every man she has ever married has been murdered, which in this plane is just a fine, like parking in a paraplegic's parking place. But once again, this isn't about her and her great power over the other witches and warlocks, it's about one of her children, a girl named Delilah.
Delilah was an eleven year old girl, with dark brown hair, in a braided pony tail that dropped to her butt, and coca brown eyes. She never knew her father, so she had been raised by her mother's servants, since her mother was always so busy. Delilah only had dinner with her mother once a month, except this time, it had been four months since Delilah had seen her mother, and in that time she grew a love for sweet treats. Since she was a witch, all sweet treats were good for her, so she ate them all the time.
When the time came that her mother had time to eat with her daughter, they had a meal that made Delilah get more excited about dessert because everything was so spicy. Something nice and cool like cake or ice cream would have made it all better. She sat and waited for her mother to finish, and when she did all she did was get up and start walking away.
"Mom, where's dessert?" Delilah asked, wanting badly for there to be one.
All her mother did was scowl a bit and said, "There is none. Sweet things are bad for you."
Delilah glared at her mother and yelled, "I want dessert, Mom, and the meal isn't over until there is a dessert!"
"If that is how you feel, then close your eyes." Black Widow said with a grin. As Delilah did as she was told, she felt chains on her arms and legs holding her in place and heard her mother start to cast a spell. "Since you want dessert so bad, you'll have it so you won't be mad, but you'll live it just like a cake, and maybe you'll cure that tummy ache."
As the spell was casted, with the full power to Black Widow's use, Delilah felt something strange go throughout and around her body. When Black Widow told Delilah she could open her eyes, she did and saw a mirror in front of her. Instead of her black dress that went down to her knees, and her common witch hat, she saw herself covered in snacks and desserts. Her silky dress and been turned into a brownie with a scoop of ice cream on top, and her quite simple hat had become a topless smore. Along with that, her hair turned to chocolate liquorice making her braid become like a twizzler, and her eyes became like a swirling pool of chocolate. When Delilah looked at her feet, she saw shoes made of cake and started screaming, trying to get all this crazy stuff off her, failing completely.
"What the heck did you do to me, mom!?" She screamed, falling down.
Black Widow grinned and said, "You asked for a dessert, and I made you one. Don't worry about spoiling or being eaten. Your body has a force-field that will clean anything within two inches of your body, and your organs, skin, blood and such are now fused with cake and frosting, so you are now a complete living dessert. I think I've done well with this job."
"YOU'D TURN YOUR OWN DAUGHTER INTO FOOD FOR ANYONE TO EAT!?!" Delilah yelled, starting to cry, surprisingly coming out as chocolate milk.
"Nonsense, silly child. If you are eaten you'll simply be auto resurrected. You could be eaten a million times and still be perfectly fine. Trust me; you're better off than your sisters were when I got annoyed with them. They got turned into clothes. Isn't that right Sally?" Black Widow said, calling her boots Sally to indicate she is wearing one of her daughters.
Since Delilah was terrified, she ran out of her home and into the fields that were not too far from it. Delilah was afraid now. She had nowhere she knew she could go was safe, and if she returned home she was sure to be eaten or turned into something worse. As Delilah thought out what she could do, something slowly crept around the hills of the valley and got closer and closer to Delilah.
When Delilah laid back to try and relax, she saw a giant looking down at her. The rumor was that if you didn't move a giant wouldn't be able to see you, but that wasn't true, and the giant picked up Delilah and looked at her, smiling. "Looks tasty to me." The giant dangled our poor innocent witch-turned-dessert over his mouth and before he dropped her into his mouth, a man came from nowhere and grabbed Delilah as she was about to fall into the giant's mouth.
"I don't think such a young child should be playing around with giants. What were you thinking dressing up like a dessert?" The man looked into Delilah's eyes hoping to break a point to her, them seeming a bit fixated on Delilah. The man was clearly in his mid thirties, quite large compared to Delilah, with short blond hair and green eyes that looked as if they were glowing.
In this man's arm's, Delilah must have looked like a doll in a child's arms, and asked the man to put her down. He did as told and then asked, "So, who are you anyway?"
"My name is Delilah. I kinda got cursed by my mom. I probably should have put my guard up." Delilah said this noticing the giant was leaving. The man lifted Delilah up again and said, "Well, if you need a place to stay, you can at least spend the night at my place, right? By the way, my name is Adam." Delilah had nowhere else she could go, so she saw no harm in it and went with Adam.
Delilah never left home often anymore, since witchcraft was normally taught at home, so she also didn't know that a man offering to take an eleven year old to his house was a bad idea. Adam clearly didn't look like he was going to harm her, but that hypnotic look he had after looking into Delilah's eyes didn't seem like a good sign.
As night drew closer, they made their way to Adam's home, which was an apartment in the more rundown district, which Delilah thought was supposed to be just the style of the location. Adam sat Delilah down in a chair and said, "You know, they shouldn't call you Delilah. Dessert fits much better in your current state."
Delilah giggled and said, "You are right. I'll go by that, at least until the curse has ended." Delilah, or should I say Dessert, remembered that all her mom's spells had a catch to them, so there must be a simple way out of it, or some kind of time limit. The next thought in her head was that she didn't know what kind of creature Adam was, so she asked, "Adam, what kind of creature are you anyway? You're not hairy enough to be a werewolf, and you don't have fangs, so what are you?"
Adam simply stood up and said, "You know, I don't exactly know anymore. Once I thought I was human, but my abilities are greater than that of a human. I guess I'm cursed like you, but in a good way. It gave me abnormal abilities like being able to run faster, jump higher, and hit harder. That's why I was able to save you today."
Dessert wasn't sure what to think of her new friend, but knew that she we tired. Dessert asked where she could sleep and Adam pointed to the counter in his kitchen, saying, "I don't have anywhere else but there that you can sleep. I already sleep on the couch."
Adam turned off the lights and said goodnight to his guest. As Dessert slept, she felt as if she was being poked by one of the servants back at her mother's home who would always wake her up. When she opened her eyes, Dessert looked down and saw her body was gone. She was about to scream but Adam, who had crumbs on his face, put his hands over Dessert's lips and said, "Just shut up and let me put your out of your misery."
The man had eaten all of Dessert except her head, and had just finished her hair. As Adam ate what was left of Dessert, with her having to watch, he belched and laid back. Minutes later, Dessert was auto re-summoned as her mother said, and it had been morning by then. Dessert knew she could no longer trust Adam and left as soon as she could. The man chased after her, but by the time Adam opened the door she was already gone, clearly having used her magic to get herself out of there. With nowhere to go, Dessert wandered the streets, holding a sign and walking around everyday, saying she needed a place to stay.
Along this long wait, a young vampire, a seventeen year old teenager with red eyes and gray hair, smiled at Dessert and said, "What do we have here?"
Dessert frowned for a while then mumbled, "I'm cursed…"
This young vampire felt very bad for Dessert and didn't even know the full story. "Please miss, come with me. I'm sure my uncle can help you with your problem, he's half warlock!" Dessert sat there, now untrusting of anyone, annoying this young man. "Ok, at least look into my eyes."
Dessert turned away and said, "I can't. Anyone who looks into my eyes become infatuated with the thought of eating me."
"You shouldn't worry about that with a vampire. I've seen your curse before; it makes your skin fuse with cake and your blood turn to cream. Vampires don't have a sweet tooth for treats and desserts. We're people pleasers. Sometimes animal pleasers, too. Ever seen bats fly in formation?" The young vampire spoke with such a clear a lucid voice, not hesitating at all, bring Dessert to eat least trust him not to eat him.
So, Dessert looked into the vampire's eyes and as their gazes caught, and Dessert was quickly hypnotized into following him to his home. As they walked to his house, the young vampire explained some simple things to Dessert. To start off, his name was Jason, and he was named after his great grandfather, who was one of the few vampires since him to marry another vampire. Jason's grandfather married a witch, leading to his uncle being half warlock.
As for his father, he was born with almost no warlock powers, and married into a family of royal vampires. Jason was his father's only child, and according to his mothers traditions, their family could only have one vampire child. Any other children would be adopted or staying there for miscellaneous purposes.
Once they got there, Jason snapped Dessert out of the hypnosis and said, "If you want to turn back now, you can. But if you come with me, I promise you won't have to sleep in a gutter, and tomorrow we'll go see my uncle." Jason opened the door and waited to see how Dessert would react.
After five minutes, Dessert got up and walked in quietly. She was amazed at Jason's home, for it was a huge mansion, which she didn't think was as common, since she grew up in one too and thought it was just something her mother had. When Dessert looked at a crack in a pillar, Jason said, "My parents have been fighting, so many parts of the house are cracked, but you shouldn't worry too much, they don't get others involved in the fight."
Jason walked Dessert to a room and said, "You can sleep here. And I really hope in the morning you're more willing to talk. I feel pretty bad keeping you here and not knowing your name yet."
After Dessert walked in and lay on the bed, Jason started walking out and Dessert mumbled, "My name…is Dessert…"
Jason smiled and thought to himself, "Heh, what a sweet name for such a poor person. I hope uncle can help."
Dessert tried to sleep but felt weird sleeping in her cursed form, so when she curled up, she suddenly noticed her clothes were changing form. Her usual sweet clothes turned into colorful candy wrappers, which she felt were easier to sleep in, so she curled up on the bed in the room and slowly dosed off, unsure of her fate the next morning.
When the sun came, Dessert had already been awake trying to figure out why she didn't turn back into her wrapperless self, and realized that the sun controlled it when she focused on the sun and the moon. Dessert figured it was safe enough to leave the room and tiptoed down stares, seeing two adult vampires arguing. These terrifying vampires didn't even notice Dessert, but Dessert noticed a broken bracelet on the ground.
Dessert quickly slid underneath the vampires and started trying to fix the bracelet. After a couple tries, and a few crashes, Dessert finally got the bracelet fixed, and the vampires stopped fighting. They finally noticed the walking, talking concoction of sugar and asked, in unison, "Where did you come from?"
Dessert told them she was there all night, but they didn't believe her, until a Jason walked down, half awake, and said, "Mom…Dad…what're you doing to our guest?"
Jason cleared up the whole thing with his parents and explained that next they were going to his uncle's home, in hope that he can lift the curse left on Dessert. The next thing that Jason's parents asked was how she was cursed, and Dessert barely mumbled, "My mom…Black Widow…"
All the vampires gasped. Being upper class vampires, they knew who Black Widow was, and were almost honored that one of her daughters was in their own home. After hearing that they offered to give her almost anything she wanted, and all Dessert could do was back up in fear. Jason quickly grabbed Dessert's arm and pulled her out the door, saying, "We'll be back later!"
Jason's home was pretty far from the others, because the house itself was up on a hill a couple feet taller than the other homes. It was a long walk down the street, but they easily got to Jason's uncle's place, which looked in worse shape than the other houses in the area. As they got closer to it, a giant puff of smoke blew out from the windows and Jason and Dessert ran in to see what happened.
"Uncle Merlin! Are you ok?" Jason yelled, looking into his uncle's private study. What he saw was kind of funny but very strange at the same time. The entire room was filled with frogs, all sitting around Uncle Merlin, croaking.
Merlin got up and said, "Yeah, I tried summoning lizards with a potion, turned out frogs. I'll probably have to sell this batch just like the last failed potion's recoil."
Jason sighed at his uncle's failure, but Dessert started rolling on the floor, laughing herself into tears, of the usual chocolate milk. "Your uncle must be nuts! Potions are so out of date!"
"Oh, and you think you could do better little miss…whatever the heck you are!" Merlin said, never being able to come up with a good comeback all his life. Merlin wasn't very good with magic, and potions were the easiest way to make something, because almost anyone could.
Dessert got up and said, "Well, I think I'm the daughter of Black Widow, and even with my magic jammed, I could do much better than you." Dessert's depressing fear was replaced with joy after seeing such a great failure.
"I'm sorry that she's so excited," Jason said, "It's been kinda tough getting her to even talk much. We came to you because we need help removing the curse her mom put on her."
"Well, if you're as great as you claim you are, they why couldn't you undo it yourself? Huh, little miss…laughing….person!" Merlin said, slowly sounding lamer than before.
"You think I can undo a full witch's curse? She's at the top level, I'm still a child, and I'm only three fourths of the way there!" Dessert said, kicking a frog off her foot.
Merlin thought for a second then said, "Well, there is a pendent I have that could counter the magic for about an hour, but I'd need to know the exact spell your mom used to curse you, so flip through that book over there."
The book Merlin pointed to was a cook book, or so it looked. When Dessert opened it and stopped at a page, it showed a hologram of a witch performing it. After the hologram finished, it showed a picture of the finished work, listed the ingredients in the creation, the spell itself, and any pros and cons to the person that was cursed.
After watching about twenty holograms, Dessert realized the book was written by her mother, and was constantly updated, even to this day. She checked the index, which also had dates added, and noticed one was dated recently and looked at it, realizing it was when her mother turned her into a dessert. It was listed as "Adorable Daughter Dessert" and required a cute girl between the ages of eight and twelve. The pros list was very long, but also included a list of abilities that could be used as weapons, which she copied down.
Dessert showed Merlin the book and he said, "Wow…your mom's getting much better with cooking. I remember the first spell I read from this book…let's just say there's a reason why you don't know all your sisters. But yeah, I could easily alter the pendant to work with it. Just be glad she didn't make you into "Smoked Sister Steak". She got the idea from two of your sisters. They were twins…very long story. It's in your mother's "My Family" part of her autobiography if you want to read it."
Since she had to wait a couple hours, Dessert flipped through the other books, realizing her mother was more homicidal than she thought, and seems to have cooked all her husbands and daughters into food. The book Dessert was in was titled "Black Widow's Guide to Cooking Daughters", and the one her father and step fathers were in was titled "How to Cook Your Man". In short, Black Widow was not only homicidal; she was also a great chef.
Merlin finally finished, and handed the pendant to Dessert saying, "Please only use this once a day. If you leave it on for over an hour, it will fall off, so only wear it when needed."
Jason thanked his uncle for his great work, and before they left, Merlin gave them one warning, and it was to keep Dessert protected all the time, and no matter what, don't let anyone else get her unless they want Black Widow to destroy everything within a 500 mile radius. Since it sounded like Merlin knew what he was talking about, no one took any chances and Jason knew where to keep Dessert so she would be safe.
Dessert and Jason returned to his home, with "Black Widow's Guide to Cooking Daughters", How to Cook Your Man", and Black Widow's autobiography so Dessert had something to read, and could keep an eye on her mom. When they entered Jason's house, Dessert and Jason noticed his parents sitting in the living room with a blond man who was constantly grinning. Dessert dropped the books and started mumbling in shock.
Jason shook Dessert, trying to snap her out of it, but the man on the couch said, "Oh, it's so great to see you've found my Dessert! I've been so worried about her!"
As the man got closer, Dessert mumbled his name into Jason's ear and said, "Stay away from her! It's impossible! Black Widow kills all her husbands!"
"Did she say she was Black Widow's daughter again? She should really learn not to lie. Come on Dessert, its time to come home."
Jason's parents told their son to listen to the man, but then he picked up one of the books and opened to the page Dessert was on. Everyone looked at the book and Jason said, "Last time I checked, Black Widow only puts her daughters in this book, and you can tell very well that this right here is Dessert."
"He makes a good point….but she could have easily got cursed too just like her…" Jason's father said. His mother agreed, hoping their child would understand.
Jason then picked up Black Widow's autobiography and read from it. "It's been almost three months, and I know the child he seeded me with was a girl, but I can also feel more power in this child than any of the others before. He's clearly more powerful than he acts, or maybe even knows. I'm sure I'll cook him into something well." Then he skipped a couple paged and went to the next week. "Now that I finished off that fool, who made a great roast, I'm feeling even more power from the child. I've already planned to keep distance from her. If my powers rubbed off onto her, she could easily become more powerful than me." Finally he skipped to the birth and finished with, "She's born, and even her innocent smile could kill thousands of beasts, I shall name her Delilah, for she won't need this name for too long."
Jason's parents believed it all, guessing the reference between Delilah and Dessert, and grabbed Adam by the arms and threw him out of the house. Jason then went to the door and said, "If I ever catch you here or near Dessert again, I'll suck you dry."
Adam left with a scorn face and walked away, already planning his next way to get Dessert into his stomach. He knew if he put a bounty on her, he'd be sure to be able to get her, so he submitted it saying she traumatized him physically and mentally. Clearly, he didn't get many results because the cute faces normally are never thought to be worth much.
Witch's Dessert
Chapter One: Where's Dessert?
Chapter One: Where's Dessert?
In this world, there are many creatures known to as evil by humans. Vampires, Werewolves, and the other usual monsters small children dress up as on Halloween. After years of trying to coexist, eventually these other creatures gave up, and found their ways into their own planes that the humans aren't easily able to enter.

"Mom, where's dessert?" Delilah asked, wanting badly for there to be one.
All her mother did was scowl a bit and said, "There is none. Sweet things are bad for you."
Delilah glared at her mother and yelled, "I want dessert, Mom, and the meal isn't over until there is a dessert!"
"If that is how you feel, then close your eyes." Black Widow said with a grin. As Delilah did as she was told, she felt chains on her arms and legs holding her in place and heard her mother start to cast a spell.

"YOU'D TURN YOUR OWN DAUGHTER INTO FOOD FOR ANYONE TO EAT!?!" Delilah yelled, starting to cry, surprisingly coming out as chocolate milk.
"Nonsense, silly child. If you are eaten you'll simply be auto resurrected. You could be eaten a million times and still be perfectly fine. Trust me; you're better off than your sisters were when I got annoyed with them. They got turned into clothes. Isn't that right Sally?"

Chapter Two: Can I Trust Him?
Along this long wait, a young vampire, a seventeen year old teenager with red eyes and gray hair, smiled at Dessert and said, "What do we have here?"
Dessert frowned for a while then mumbled, "I'm cursed…"
This young vampire felt very bad for Dessert and didn't even know the full story. "Please miss, come with me. I'm sure my uncle can help you with your problem, he's half warlock!" Dessert sat there, now untrusting of anyone, annoying this young man. "Ok, at least look into my eyes."

Dessert tried to sleep but felt weird sleeping in her cursed form, so when she curled up, she suddenly noticed her clothes were changing form. Her usual sweet clothes turned into colorful candy wrappers, which she felt were easier to sleep in, so she curled up on the bed in the room and slowly dosed off, unsure of her fate the next morning.
When the sun came, Dessert had already been awake trying to figure out why she didn't turn back into her wrapperless self, and realized that the sun controlled it when she focused on the sun and the moon. Dessert figured it was safe enough to leave the room and tiptoed down stares, seeing two adult vampires arguing. These terrifying vampires didn't even notice Dessert, but Dessert noticed a broken bracelet on the ground.
Dessert quickly slid underneath the vampires and started trying to fix the bracelet. After a couple tries, and a few crashes, Dessert finally got the bracelet fixed, and the vampires stopped fighting. They finally noticed the walking, talking concoction of sugar and asked, in unison, "Where did you come from?"
Dessert told them she was there all night, but they didn't believe her, until a Jason walked down, half awake, and said, "Mom…Dad…what're you doing to our guest?"
Jason cleared up the whole thing with his parents and explained that next they were going to his uncle's home, in hope that he can lift the curse left on Dessert. The next thing that Jason's parents asked was how she was cursed, and Dessert barely mumbled, "My mom…Black Widow…"
All the vampires gasped. Being upper class vampires, they knew who Black Widow was, and were almost honored that one of her daughters was in their own home. After hearing that they offered to give her almost anything she wanted, and all Dessert could do was back up in fear. Jason quickly grabbed Dessert's arm and pulled her out the door, saying, "We'll be back later!"
Jason's home was pretty far from the others, because the house itself was up on a hill a couple feet taller than the other homes. It was a long walk down the street, but they easily got to Jason's uncle's place, which looked in worse shape than the other houses in the area. As they got closer to it, a giant puff of smoke blew out from the windows and Jason and Dessert ran in to see what happened.
Chapter Three: Can He Really Help Me?
"Uncle Merlin! Are you ok?" Jason yelled, looking into his uncle's private study. What he saw was kind of funny but very strange at the same time. The entire room was filled with frogs, all sitting around Uncle Merlin, croaking.
Merlin got up and said, "Yeah, I tried summoning lizards with a potion, turned out frogs. I'll probably have to sell this batch just like the last failed potion's recoil."
Jason sighed at his uncle's failure, but Dessert started rolling on the floor, laughing herself into tears, of the usual chocolate milk. "Your uncle must be nuts! Potions are so out of date!"
"Oh, and you think you could do better little miss…whatever the heck you are!" Merlin said, never being able to come up with a good comeback all his life. Merlin wasn't very good with magic, and potions were the easiest way to make something, because almost anyone could.
Dessert got up and said, "Well, I think I'm the daughter of Black Widow, and even with my magic jammed, I could do much better than you." Dessert's depressing fear was replaced with joy after seeing such a great failure.
"I'm sorry that she's so excited," Jason said, "It's been kinda tough getting her to even talk much. We came to you because we need help removing the curse her mom put on her."
"Well, if you're as great as you claim you are, they why couldn't you undo it yourself? Huh, little miss…laughing….person!" Merlin said, slowly sounding lamer than before.
"You think I can undo a full witch's curse? She's at the top level, I'm still a child, and I'm only three fourths of the way there!" Dessert said, kicking a frog off her foot.
Merlin thought for a second then said, "Well, there is a pendent I have that could counter the magic for about an hour, but I'd need to know the exact spell your mom used to curse you, so flip through that book over there."
The book Merlin pointed to was a cook book, or so it looked. When Dessert opened it and stopped at a page, it showed a hologram of a witch performing it. After the hologram finished, it showed a picture of the finished work, listed the ingredients in the creation, the spell itself, and any pros and cons to the person that was cursed.
After watching about twenty holograms, Dessert realized the book was written by her mother, and was constantly updated, even to this day. She checked the index, which also had dates added, and noticed one was dated recently and looked at it, realizing it was when her mother turned her into a dessert. It was listed as "Adorable Daughter Dessert" and required a cute girl between the ages of eight and twelve. The pros list was very long, but also included a list of abilities that could be used as weapons, which she copied down.
Dessert showed Merlin the book and he said, "Wow…your mom's getting much better with cooking. I remember the first spell I read from this book…let's just say there's a reason why you don't know all your sisters. But yeah, I could easily alter the pendant to work with it. Just be glad she didn't make you into "Smoked Sister Steak". She got the idea from two of your sisters. They were twins…very long story. It's in your mother's "My Family" part of her autobiography if you want to read it."
Since she had to wait a couple hours, Dessert flipped through the other books, realizing her mother was more homicidal than she thought, and seems to have cooked all her husbands and daughters into food. The book Dessert was in was titled "Black Widow's Guide to Cooking Daughters", and the one her father and step fathers were in was titled "How to Cook Your Man". In short, Black Widow was not only homicidal; she was also a great chef.
Merlin finally finished, and handed the pendant to Dessert saying, "Please only use this once a day. If you leave it on for over an hour, it will fall off, so only wear it when needed."
Jason thanked his uncle for his great work, and before they left, Merlin gave them one warning, and it was to keep Dessert protected all the time, and no matter what, don't let anyone else get her unless they want Black Widow to destroy everything within a 500 mile radius. Since it sounded like Merlin knew what he was talking about, no one took any chances and Jason knew where to keep Dessert so she would be safe.
Dessert and Jason returned to his home, with "Black Widow's Guide to Cooking Daughters", How to Cook Your Man", and Black Widow's autobiography so Dessert had something to read, and could keep an eye on her mom. When they entered Jason's house, Dessert and Jason noticed his parents sitting in the living room with a blond man who was constantly grinning. Dessert dropped the books and started mumbling in shock.
Jason shook Dessert, trying to snap her out of it, but the man on the couch said, "Oh, it's so great to see you've found my Dessert! I've been so worried about her!"
As the man got closer, Dessert mumbled his name into Jason's ear and said, "Stay away from her! It's impossible! Black Widow kills all her husbands!"
"Did she say she was Black Widow's daughter again? She should really learn not to lie. Come on Dessert, its time to come home."
Jason's parents told their son to listen to the man, but then he picked up one of the books and opened to the page Dessert was on. Everyone looked at the book and Jason said, "Last time I checked, Black Widow only puts her daughters in this book, and you can tell very well that this right here is Dessert."
"He makes a good point….but she could have easily got cursed too just like her…" Jason's father said. His mother agreed, hoping their child would understand.
Jason then picked up Black Widow's autobiography and read from it. "It's been almost three months, and I know the child he seeded me with was a girl, but I can also feel more power in this child than any of the others before. He's clearly more powerful than he acts, or maybe even knows. I'm sure I'll cook him into something well." Then he skipped a couple paged and went to the next week. "Now that I finished off that fool, who made a great roast, I'm feeling even more power from the child. I've already planned to keep distance from her. If my powers rubbed off onto her, she could easily become more powerful than me." Finally he skipped to the birth and finished with, "She's born, and even her innocent smile could kill thousands of beasts, I shall name her Delilah, for she won't need this name for too long."
Jason's parents believed it all, guessing the reference between Delilah and Dessert, and grabbed Adam by the arms and threw him out of the house. Jason then went to the door and said, "If I ever catch you here or near Dessert again, I'll suck you dry."
Adam left with a scorn face and walked away, already planning his next way to get Dessert into his stomach. He knew if he put a bounty on her, he'd be sure to be able to get her, so he submitted it saying she traumatized him physically and mentally. Clearly, he didn't get many results because the cute faces normally are never thought to be worth much.
