Lord Darnital said, "Well look. Mister Charlie Bucket and Miss Violet Beauregarde. You've been quite a little thorn in my side. Well let my introduce myself. Lord Everett Darnital, future ruler of the world."
Violet said angrilly, "Are we expected to bow?"
Lord Darnital smirked and said, "Yes, you are. Sergeant make them bow." Several hands gripped both kids and forced them onto their knees. "That's better. Now for your fates. Have the boy executed. The girl we can use as a hostage when we take the Isle of Machines."
Two soldiers grabbed the ropes and pulled Charlie and Violet to their feets between forcing them into a side hallway. After a bit of walking, Charlie heard a snap as Violet broke her bonds, and hit both soldiers with a roundhouse kick.
Charlie said as Violet undid his bonds, "You got a plan to get out of here?"
Violet said quickly, "Not a one. And these two are coming round. I'll hold them off, you find a way out."
Charlie said, "I'm not leaving you!"
Violet yelled, "I'll do much better if I don't have to worry about you! GO!"
Charlie nodded and ran down a hallway, when at the end of the hallway he heard two guards come. The only other choice besides heading back toward Violet was to run up a nearby staircase. He ran up to a door, which he quickly discoverd was locked. However he noticed the door was not very thicks, and he remembered the board he was able to break. He said to himself, "Can I do this?" and thought back as he realized several guards were quickly going to kill Violet if something didn't happen quick, and with quick anger he swung his fist around and put a big hole in the door. He reached through the hole in the other side, and unlocked it. He saw a giant window and looked through it and realized it was the same window the glass elevator hovered near earlier. He then saw the two books. The first was a giant book bigger than Chalies entire body, written in an obscure language. The second was a smaller notebook. Reading the notebook, and the spells it listed, he thought back on what he overheard. He realized the big book was the main spellbook, and the notebook was where Lord Darnital was writing down the translations for the spells. He quickly paged through the translation book for something that would get him out of this situation. After several seconds of scanning through pages, he suddenly smiled.
Downstairs Violet moved with an amazing precision but even with incredible speed, strength far outdoing her age, and abnormal flexibility, she was vastly outnumbered, and just as the soldiers managed to surround her, a voice called out, "VIOLET!"
Everyone turned around to see the effects of the spell Charlie cast, and saw him magically defying the laws of gravity. Charlie burst out the hallway and flew over the heads of the solders while putting the translation book in his pocket, swoop down and lift Violet up, and they turned around in midair, flew up the staircase, and fly out the window toward the Isle of Machines. Violet said, "You saved me, I knew you could do it!"
Chalie said between grunts, "Vi, ugh, can we wait until were on the ground, you're heavy."
As they landed on the front yard of the Cheif's house, Violet said, "Quick we have to tell my father what happened!"
Charlie grabbed Violets hand and said, "Violet, wait a sec!"
Violet turned and said, "What is.." but Violet was cut short and Charlie grabbed Violet's face and pulled her into a kiss which looked like it could exchange souls.
As soon as they separated, Violet whispered, "What was that?"
Charlie whispered in reply, "That was me being fearless."
Violet smiled and pulled Charlie in for another kiss, but they were inturupted by the sound of "Ahem." and Charlie and Violet turned to see Chief Beauregarde standing at the doorway.
After a few seconds of looking through the translation book Charlie brought with him Chief Beauregarde said, "Violet you're in big trouble for putting yourself into danger like that. You need to help me tomorrow as punishment."
Violet whispered, "That's fair."
He continued with, "And Mr. Bucket, you are to meet us in the forest behind the west beach tomorrow at two in the afternoon. We need to have a serious discussion about any of your intentions toward my daughter."
Charlie said quietly, "I'll be there."
Cheif Beauregarde yelled out, "Ericson!" An soldier of the Isle of Machines came in and stood at attention. Cheif Beauregarde said, "Send messengers to the other islands to ask them to prepare an emergency council. And ready the troops. We are to prepare for war immediately."
