A Willy Wonka: Secret Family AU drawing.

For more context,

When Lillith was 8, she was trying to make a new candy with a mysterious berry Willy had brought home with him, not even he knew what it was.

Once she created a stable looking out of it, she gave it a taste test. Her biggest mistake... The results were horrendous, dedicating her life to try and cure herself and never told anyone about it. The only people who knew about it was Doris and Bliss. Over the last couple of years, she was able to make something that could keep it at bay for a while, but it wasn't really enough. She would only transform when she feels a strong sense of anger, so over the years she learned how to control her anger.

But one day, a few weeks after Charlie and his family moves into the factory, a very heated argument happens between her mom and dad, caused hurtful words to be said. Lillith became very overwhelmed and was trying to control her anger from rising, but the nail in the coffin was when her father had punched Willy when he tried to intervene, causing her to snap. She punched her dad in the stomach with inhuman strength, causing him to double down in pain as she screamed words she's wanted to say for years to her family but didn't due to the fear of losing the family she loved. As she ranted with tears in her eyes, a rainbow like substance began to drip from her mouth, burning through the floor when it landed. Slowly but clearly, she began to transform into the monster she created within her, her body becoming huge with colored spots around her body, gaining another pair of eyes, growing a long hammer like tail.

With a terrifying roar, she smashed through a wall and out to the streets of the small town, causing destruction in her wake. Observing her, Willy noticed how she somewhat covered her ears when she heard loud noises like beeping cars. That's how he got the idea to help calm her down by leading her somewhere where there's no noise, which is his father's place since he's the only person living in that area out of town. With quick thinking, he got into the glass elevator and began to lead her away from the town and to his father's place, the family following them from behind. As he was close to his father's home where his father was outside waiting for them, Lillith roared, a glob of her rainbow acid landing on a jet of the elevator, causing him to lose control of the elevator and crash into the snowy ground. Luckily, he was okay but badly injured from the crash.

Once in the quiet area, Lillith began to calm down and with Willy's comfort, though injured, he managed to have her relax and turn back to normal, falling asleep in his arms. With the help of his father and the family, they were able to place her on the dentist chair in his father's house. With relief washing over him, Willy released a soft sigh before saying, "Now that THAT'S out of the way. I need to lay down.", before passing out from his injuries. Luckily his father caught him in time before he fell to the floor.

The next morning, Lillith woke up with a sore throat from the acid but she was fine. But when she went to check on Willy, tears began to swell in her eyes at the site. Willy was laying in bed, covered in bandages from head to toe, still unconscious. Guilt filled her heart, she gently took his hand and began to sob, apologizing again and again.

Three weeks had passed and Willy was still unconscious, which worsened Lillith's guilt. She spent every day in Willy's room, crying on the edge of his bed, praying for him to wake up. When she began to lose hope, a miracle happened. As she cried on the side of the bed as usual, she felt a hand on her hand. Looking up, a smile formed on her face. Willy was finally awake, his usual goofy smile on his face. With tears of joy flowing down both of their faces, they hugged each other, very happy to see they're both okay.

A bit later, her parents apologized for their behavior and her dad apologized to Willy for punching him that day. Afterwards, they all decided to get some therapy to help with their issues.

As for the monster, well she's learning how to take out her anger in a healthy way without piling it on inside her, trying to make peace with her inner monster.
