Wow. I got no reviews. Not only am I depressed, but I'm disappointed in ALL of you.
I was tempted stop writing all together! If I don't get any reviews I won't continue writing. 2 seconds is all it takes.
Chapter 12
Never thought I'd be in this place
It's someone else's life I'm living
Wish I were living a lie
The hardest part is when the bell breaks
Falling down and then forgiving
You didn't kiss me good by
I'm choking on the words I didn't get to say
And pray I get the chance one day
I still run, I still swing open the door
I still think you'll be there like before
Doesn't every body out there know to never come round?
Some things a heart won't listen to
I'm still holding out I'm still holding out
For you…
Willy ran to the door just in time to see a large truck pull out of the factory. He ran out of the building only to be pulled back by a bedraggled Charlie. "Willy! Mr. Wonka! No." he said grabbing his sleeve.
"what are you doing!" Willy exclaimed "they have her! They have Aleera!" the chocolateer became very distressed. He wrung his hands together unsure of what to do. "they…they have her and I don't even know who they are!" he sat down on the cold hard ground. "this is horrible! Absolutely horrible. What am I going to do?" he sounded so dismal and helpless compared to usual flamboyant self that Charlie almost began to cry
Charlie patted Willy on the back. "don't worry Willy, we'll find out who they are." He promised
Aleera struggled against the leather straps that held her to the white sheeted bed. They were tight enough to cut off the circulation in her hands, but even so it took several grown men to hold her down when she saw the large needle the doctor was planning to use to draw her blood.
"NO!" she protested loudly "you can't have my blood! Thieves! You steal my life, my blood. You take it away. Damn you!"
The doctors rolled their eyes. One of them dampened a white cloth with an odd liquid and put it over the screaming woman's mouth.
Aleera froze, her bicolored eyes widened in fear. She remembered this, this horrid chemical that made one fall asleep against their will. She stopped breathing. Grabbing a good amount of the cloth between her teeth she yanked it out of the startled doctor's hand. "go to hell!" she shrieked, then spat on the man's face.
He jumped back, yelling in disgust. Two more doctors took his place, having to practically lie on top of her so that she was still enough to take blood from. Aleera began throwing curses at them. Most of which weren't even in English….
About two hours and three doctors later, the remainder of the people willing to work with the deranged young woman threw her into a small room with only an old wore out mattress. They closed and locked the door behind them.
Aleera threw herself against the door so many times that her shoulders were bruised. She banged her fists against it and let out a heart wrenching scream of anguish and fear. Tears streamed down her face as she sagged against the door, her only thoughts were of her darling chocolateer, would she ever see him again?
