Chapter six: nightmares
Aleera looked at dinner and bared her teeth. Ruined, the whole damned dinner was ruined because of all the adults. The made it and messed with it and put it on her plate. Sickened, she climber gracefully up the later and went to bed.
"Windmills play charades!" call the old woman proudly
"Nightingales that live will sing of passing times!'' Aleera called out before falling to sleep.
At the table Charlie sat glumly, he liked Aleera, but he really had hoped to sleep in his own room.
"what's wrong love?" asked his mother Charlie shrugged, just was wondering where id be sleeping tonight."
"Oh darling I forgot all about that!" Mrs. Bucket cried "honestly darling I really don't know!"
"Oh come now Alice, why can't they share a room?" asked Mr. Bucket.
She looked at him "because Aleera is 17 years old! She's practically an adult!"
Mr. Bucket nodded "pint taken." After a moments thought, turned to Willy. "Would you….have you …" his voice trailed away as Willy began to look wide eyed at him
"Willy. Charlie said in his "important voice"
Willy's eyes darted from person to person. "Oh all right!" he said throwing his hands in the air. "I'll give her a guest room!"
"Right Mr. Wonka!" said Mr. Bucket cheerfully "I'll go fetch her!" he got up from the table and went up stairs. Finding that she was already asleep, he simply picked her up, which wasn't hard to do as she was extremely light. Carring her down stairs he tried to place her in Willy's arms. At first he just stared at her but then her voice rang in his ears "Afraid of germs that much are you? As one who is alone, I'd say your fears are better placed in that which is unknown." Just to prove a point to the sleeping girl, he took her in his arms and bide the buckets a good night.

Oompa loompas ran wildly around preparing the room as Willy gently set her still sleeping form down on the bed. Throwing a lit blanket on top of her, he turned off the light as the last oompa loompa cleared the room. "Good night star shine." He whispered before closing the door and preceding to his own room two doors down.

Aleera tossed and turned in her sleep. She was running. Always, always running. The chased after her and she ran faster. She could feel her mother's presents be hind her as the elder woman fought to keep up. Grabbing her mother's hand she ran even faster, but it was no use. They were quickly gaining on her. Her mother stumbled and fell. She stopped to help her but they caught up to the two girls. Aleera screamed and woke up. Not again, she thought, oh god please not again!
Looking wildly around she realized she didn't know where she was. Leaning against the head board of the bed and hugging her knees close to her chest, she began to cry.
