6 Hours Later
How far was Loompaland? Charlie had to ask himself, he always thought it was somewhere like the Amazon, or maybe even in the Amazon. But did it have to take this long?
Standing too long had made Charlie's legs hurt, he felt sleepy and in need of a long run. He looked up at his hyper mentor from staring at the foggy sea below him, he didn't look any different to what he usually did; but in fact he was in more pain than Charlie.
Mr. Wonka could hardly keep in legs up, he guessed Charlie was feeling the same way but just couldn't bring himself to ask if he was fine. The chocolatier rubbed his brow with his right arm and sighed, maybe he should have just gotten Charlie a puppy for his birthday; at least they didn't have to go far.
Charlie yawned and mumbled something to himself, folding his arms, his eyes closed and all he heard now were his mentor's heavy breathing and the sound of the Glass Elevator booming through the sky.
"Hey Charlie?" Mr. Wonka asked, Charlie quickly opened his eyes and stared attentively at his mentor. "Do you want to play I Spy?"
Charlie looked around, giving a 360 degree turn to look at everything around.
"I don't think there is anything we can use to Spy on." Mr. Wonka gave a small puppy-ish pount, Charlie could only smile and roll his eye. "O-Kay."
"Yes! I Spy with my little eye, something beginning with C."
"It's me, isn't is?" Charlie asked matter of fact. Mr. Wonka quickly opened his mouth to tell him he was wrong, but felt beaten by his heir. He slowly lowered his excitable manner and gave Charlie a nudge to tell him it was his turn.
Charlie looked around, while looking for something, the young teen said the lines anyone said while playing I Spy.
"I Spy with my little eye something beginning with ….. What is that?" Charlie quickly pointed under his feet. It looked like a bomb from where they were standing, fire was burning out one end of it but it was too small to be a bomb of any kind. Suddenly one end of the Glass Elevator rocked over and fell, knocking Charlie over to the lowered end of it. Mr. Wonka quickly threw Charlie his cane, he pressed an un-named room on the side near the door; the Glass Elevator stood upright and Charlie took a slow calming breath. Mr. Wonka swallowed some air and pulled the cane off his heir and knocking it calmly on his forehead.
"That was a cloase one." Charlie commented to himself, but as if he'd been jinxed, a small cracking noise told them it wasn't over yet. The chocolatier bit his bottom lip, noticing something that looked like a silver ribbon above Charlie's head, he gave a confused looked and stepped up to touch it. Inspecting the silver ribbon, he looked over at it as it got bigger, it wasn't a silver ribbon, the glass was breaking. Charlie turned his head, looking at the thing Mr. Wonka was touching, as his mentor continued to press gently onto it, the crack got bigger.
"How can this be happening? I told the Oompa Loompa's to check it twice as many times yesterday and this morning, how can this be happening?"
In fact the Oompa Loompa's had not been doing their job like they were meant to. The night before Charlie and Mr. Wonka left gave them the best opportunity to plan what they wanted to do while the two were away.
A small group of Oompa Loompa's had taken the good Glass Elevator to go around and play in all the rooms. The small group had taken a liking to the Willy or Wont He room of which Mr. Wonka had even forbidden Charlie from entering. Grandpa George had asked a number of times "Is that where you keep the stash?" thinking all the chocolatier's ideas came from taking drugs, all Charlie did was laugh at the thought.
"This is absurd." Mr. Wonka commented once again. A brown seagull, flying at full speed crashed into the Glass Elevator, the crack pulled its way from being a helpless little silver ribbon looking thing to a crack that couldn't be held down, almost scaring Charlie to death. Mr. Wonka continued to investigate the major crack in the Glass Elevator but his eyes did not fix onto it so quickly, his eyes were fixed onto the beautiful while light he saw ahead of him, his fears left him like a sponge draining water, slowly and by the bucket full.
The chocolatier smiled and followed along a never ending path towards the light, humming as he walked along. As he kept on walking he saw someone in the distance, it was someone with dark brown hair that came down to the middle of their neck, as he got closer and closer, he found the feminine features; it was a lady.
He started on a faster walk as he did when attentive to go somewhere, though at the moment he was totally clueless to where he was going or what he was doing, he turned his head, looking off into the long white area that seemed to end nowhere, and the lady had seemed to walk backwards for she didn't move much. Mr. Wonka swerved his head quickly, knocking himself over and on the ground, the chocolatier brought himself into a sitting position, rubbing his slightly saw head with a bare ungloved hand.
"The same usual tipsy Willy I know." Mr. Wonka looked up to notice the lady from before was standing right above him, he was feeling angry now that someone and made him fall. The lady looked a little older than what she did back far away, mostly about in her early 40s and her eyes were a shade of pale red, none like he'd seen before.
The lady passed her hand out towards Mr. Wonka and waited for him to take it. The chocolatier was very reluctant, not even blinking but staring into her red eyes; a usual rude comment said by the chocolatier himself broke most of the silence.
"You have funny looking eyes. Are you the old lady who lived in that shoe with all them kids? Now I see why they're blood-shot-."
"Just take my hand will you?" Mr. Wonka quickly closed his mouth and did as the lady said, taking her hand and pulling himself to his feet. As soon as he got to his feet, Mr. Wonka noticed the name tag on her shirt.
Hello, my name is
Lisa Anne Wonka.
"Mum?" Mr. Wonka said slowly. "Dad always said you took a plane trip to Australia and decided to become a –."
"Don't trust anything that old bugger says." Lisa said, Mr. Wonka felt them small weights on his shoulders been taken off and he relaxed. The chocolatier bit his bottom lip as he looked over at the place his was in, the light was gone yet his dead mother was standing right in front of him and talking to him; this day was just getting weird.
"I never really liked you father, anyway." Mr. Wonka gave a quick nod. "When we met he was crazy about candy, always telling me to do this and do that. I eventually gave up on him when I was having you." She nodded at Mr. Wonka. "But some things I guess you can't change."
They're was another really long silence and once again broken off by Mr. Wonka.
"Is this…one of them things….you know….as in…one of them…?"
"No but if I were you I'd wake up." Lisa muttered, almost a loud mumble. Mr. Wonka opened his mouth, trying to give a smutty remark but nothing came out. But he gave a disgusted look when the voice of Charlie came out of Lisa's mouth.
"Mr. Wonka!" She screamed, the chocolatier's head suddenly became painful.
Mr. Wonka opened his eyes faster than any cat beyond hissing point, he was always told 'Near Death Experiences' were terrible things to have but that was the first he'd ever had one. His breath was cold and he felt pain on both sides of his face and legs.
"What was that?" As he rubbed his head he heard a thumping noise and was greeted by the bruised face of Charlie. Mr. Wonka swallowed hard, growling at the pain that ran through his body.
"Is this Loompaland Charlie?"
Charlie shrugged and moved back for his mentor to sit up. Mr. Wonka watched as two fluffy penguins waddled passed the broken Glass Elevator.
"Holy sh-."
I really didn't expect to make Mr. Wonka have a near death experience or sorta swear at the end, the end part just came all together. Read and hopefully Review.
