A/N can I point out that I am aware that this story isn't authentic to the
1800s; this is just a fic about Cole and his parents.
Part 12
Ben followed his wife through the forest, not quite believing what had just happened. There is no way
that his peaceful, loving Elizabeth would just kill someone with supernatural powers. He must be going
crazy- he must have imagined it. He called after her,
"Liz! Stop!" Elizabeth skidded to a halt and spun around, her faced twisted in pain and fury,
"How could you do this to me? Your wife? How could you do this to your son?"
"Liz... there's nothing going on between me and that woman. I've never met her before in my life."
"Right!" Elizabeth hurled another energy ball, this time at Ben. He dropped to the ground and the bolt
missed him. He looked up in shock,
"What are you?"
"I'm someone who won't let you near my son again." She waved her hand and murmured a few words
in a language Ben didn't understand. His eyes widened in shock, not knowing what was about to
happen. Before his very eyes, his son appeared before him.
"Cole?" Cole looked around him. His beautiful blue eyes alternated glances between his parents,
"Dad? Mommy? Where am I?" Elizabeth pulled him closer to her,
"It's okay sweetie. You're safe with me." She looked up at Ben and she transformed into Dakan. Her
soft yet chiselled featured mutated into a hideous beast. Her pale skin turned purple and black tribal
markings appeared on her face, and her hazel eyes became like two black holes: absorbing anything
and everything, destroying all. When Cole saw what he mother had become, he backed away with tears
running down his face. He clasped onto his father's shirt and refused to let go.
Ben, trying to suppress the mounting horror in his heart, scooped his son into his arms,
"You... you're a demon." He backed away, first slowly, then he spun away and ran for his life. His
beloved Elizabeth was no longer there. This demon was in her place, and there was no way in Heaven
or Hell that she was going to get her hands on his son.
The thoughts were barely registering in his head. First, the woman who pretended to be Ben's lover;
then Elizabeth killing her; and her conjuring Cole from nowhere and turning into... that. Ben had
always wondered if demons and witches existed, which he knew for sure four years ago when
Elizabeth protected him from a demon. Now, after three safe heavenly years, his greatest fears were
true: the thing that tried to kill him is also what his own wife, his soul mate, had become. Although he
couldn't even begin to understand it, every fibre of his being was telling him to run for the sake of his
own life... and Cole's.
"Give me my son!" Dakan ran after Ben and gained on him. She grabbed Cole and pushed him away.
"No!" Ben cried out. His heart began to pump faster, telling him to fight. But he knew that no matter
how hard he tried, the battle was over.
Elizabeth conjured a fireball and threw it at Ben. The flames licked at his skin and consumed him in a
matter of seconds. The last thing he heard was Cole wailing in distress.
The battle was over. And Ben had lost it.
