Chapter 2: Sugar Wonderland

Though Becca wasn't left entirely defenseless. In fact someone was watching the entire scene. They were watching the moment Becca touched the main gate. It was one of the Oompa Loompas that informed their boss of what happened. Normally Willy Wonka wouldn't have cared too much about what was going on outside of his factory walls but the chief Oompa Loompa gave him a look that suggested they couldn't let someone freeze to death on the doorstep. Rolling his eyes and heaving a sigh Willy decided that it would be best to deal with this now and nodded.

"Very well stay here, I'll check it out then, but I'm telling you it's probably just children"

The chief nodded and crossed his arms in agreement. And Willy stopped his inventing to go topside once again. He too agreed that something wasn't right. No one ever dared to scale the walls of the fence. After all, the town all knew he closed his factory a few years ago. And only now barely a few days since the notice for the golden tickets had been sent. Of course he could have left it alone, but He knew better, he knew it would be gnawing at the back of his mind until his curiosity was quenched.

However Willy Wonka mind was easily distracted by sudden brainstorms of new ideas for candy to be made. And his brilliance would not be denied what ever it was could hold for an hour or three. Finally Willy remembered that he was on his way to see what the problem was on his doorstep.

Quickly making his way to the main entrance of the factory via his glass elevator, he shivered as he began to feel the temperature change. It was a cooler temperature here than the rest of the factory as there was no real need to keep it at it's warmest as Oompa loompas came here. Pulling on his usual coat of burgundy velvet and heading to the rather large iron door he merely gave a wave of his hand and the doors opened automatically.

He gasped a bit as a suddenly cold wind blew through the opening door as well as a few big and sticky snowflakes. Turning up his collar a bit he stepped through the door and took a look around. It was now dark outside, and Willy knew any passer by would not see him very easily. Deciding that nothing was out in the courtyard he merely shrugged and decided that a few emboldened children were playing their little games again. He turned but stopped. Something had caught his eye, even in the fast darkening twilight he has seen the lightly snow covered shape still on his steps.

Turning his head then his body, Willy inched closer to the mass wary he poked at it with the top of his cane. No movement, no sound came from who ever it was. Crouching down to examine closer a cold breeze blew away some of the snow revealing the face of a girl. Leaping back a few steps Willy brandished his cane like a club incase the girl made her move to attack. But she never moved, didn't even bat an eyelash, or even take a deep breath.

Inching forward again Willy crouched and slowly extended his gloved hand and pecked at her shoulder with an index finger rather quickly. She still hadn't moved, but even in the cool air there was a rather pleasant scent on her. It reminded him of the anesthetic called chloroform his father used for rendering patients unconscious while he worked on their teeth. Feeling a little braver he pulled her on to her back, as he looked at her in closer inspection, he seen her skin was looking a light shade of blue. He could not tell if it was the waning sun or if she had been outside in the cold far too long.

Steeling himself he easily picked her up and carried her inside. Upon closer inspection in the factory's hidden lighting, he could see that her skin was indeed a very light shade of blue. Though he was a candy maker, he knew the signs of hypothermia, from one of his father's medical texts of course. And of course Willy wasn't a heartless man to let a person die on his factory grounds. He carried her through the door that closed by it cutting off the cold evening air. Thinking quickly he called for a few of his Oompa Loompas that appeared dressed in heavy fur parkas and gloves. He kneeled down

"Can you get me a warm bed? It seems we have an unexpected visitor."

Again the Oompa Loompas crossed their arms over their chest and ran off to get what their boss had asked for. Laying the girl down on the warmed floor Willy got a good look at her. She wasn't older than he was; in fact she wasn't all that young looking either. He reached over and caressed her cheek; even through his thin gloves he felt the coldness of her cheek. Knowing enough that the cold could hurt her terribly. Willy simply took hold of her hands and rubbed them gently between his own to start the warming processes.

"Dear me I've never felt a person grow so cold…"

He looked down at her still feeling a bit nervous. Finally the human sized bed came, pushed by four of his little workers and stopping barely half a foot away. Once again picking up the girl Willy lay her on the soft pre warmed bed. And lastly removing her shoes and drawing the goose feather over her chilled body. Tucking one arm under the blanket while wanting to keep his hold on the other. Almost immediately she began to tremble. Willy was surprised, never realized that she wasn't shivering until he felt her hand trembling in his own. He gave it a gentle squeeze as he sat on the edge of the bed next to her.

"Strange, Strange even stranger than the last…you think she is here to steal my recipes?"

The chief Ooompah Loompah looked at his boss for a moment and then finaly shook his head no. Willy just looked at the girl lying on the bed still asleep, the color seemed flow back in to her cheeks as she continued to warm up. He looked at the chief and breathed out slowly.

"What am I to do with her?"

He asked out loud and tapped his lavender clad finger against his cheek.

"Nothing at all…"

He heard a tired sounding voice very much new to him and he looked at the girl with more than shock in his eyes.

"Who are you?"

She hissed as she sat up, the chief just looked at her but didn't dare get within arms reach, fearing the tall person.

"I asked you a question…"

The girl growled out again, putting both the chief and Willy on guard.

"Now just a moment! I'll be the one to ask the questions! After all, you seem to be an unwelcome guest"

"But first things first…why are you here?"

Willy snapped at her then raised an eyebrow in question when she realized that she was indeed in his factory. Relaxing her aggressive posture she nodded.

"M-my name is Becca, B-Becca St. T-Thorn…security officer, f-free lance o-office number…o-office n-number…"

And without completing what she was saying she fell back to sleep sitting up, much to Willys' surprise. But finally able to relax again that she was asleep, Willy had tucked her in after he lay her gingerly back down also making sure the blankets were snug around her. Finishing up and taking in a deep breath Willy and taken up a position at the end of the bed and proceeded to push the bed and the girl further in to the long corridor. Satisfied that she would be fine while she slept Willy once again sat at the edge of her bed and looked at the girl. His curiosity was much piqued and though he made himself a hermit inside his factory, he still found he liked to talk, even if it was to himself at times.

As he sat there and studied her sleeping face, Willy wondered just what she was dreaming about. The second thought that came up, what was he going to do with her when she did wake up from that dream? Feeling the urge to move he stood up and paced. Finally he couldn't just stand there and be idle, he needed to move, and when he needed to move, new candy ideas came to mind. Adjusting his jacket lapels he looked at the girl once more and finally asked on of his workers to stay and watch over her.

"Now if she awakens, come and get me immediately. Or if she hasn't come around in oh say, three hours come and get me alright?"

Again the red jump suited Oompa Loompa crossed his arms over his chest and nodded. Willy walked towards the elevator and stepped inside. Without looking at the wall of buttons he pressed the one for his inventing room. He watched the bed as long as he could before the elevator took him away.
