Charlie and the Chocolate Factoy: The Loneliest Abyss

Chapter 16: Revelations

Isabella's POV


As we were zooming off I noticed that we were heading up. Hm...

"Where are we going exactly?" I questioned. Willy grinned at me, "Up and Out of course!" He then looked down and back up, "My goodness, we're going to need to go much faster or else we'll just never break through." I raised an eyebrow.

"Break through what?" Charlie questioned. I wanted to know as well. Willy smiled at us.

"I've been longing to press that button for years." He said before looking back up, "Well, here we go. Up and Out!" I looked up to see a glass ceiling.

"He's not..." I thought somewhat frightened. Willy contined to smile as we gained speed. He is!

"Willy..." I started delicately, "Don't you think that smashing glass against glass will...you know...cause the elevator to smash into pieces?" He didn't answer me. I gulped and prayed for safety as we smashed through the ceiling...with the elevator still in contact.

I was about to sigh, in relief, but noticed we were now headed towards the ground...uncontrollable.

"Just think of it like a drop tower at an amusement park." I thought reassuringly, "And not an elevator that's about to crash and killed you." That didn't help at all. So, preparing for what may be my demise, I grabbed hold of the closest thing to me...which was Willy's arm.


-Willy's POV-


As I looked at the frightened expressions on Isabella and Charlie's faces, I couldn't help but feel a little bit horrible. But that all went away once Isabella grabbed my arm. Immediately a shock when through it before fading away, but I still felt funny about it, in a good way that is...I think...

"I think it's time to end this." I thought before pressing a button. I then watched as the silver handles on the outside turn up and into rockets, which kept us suspended the air. I then looked down at Isabella, who was looking around, then her eyes landing on me and her arm position. She was silent before backing off. An empty feeling settled over me for a moment before I shook myself out of it.


-Isabella's POV-


Once I let go of Willy's arm, and backed up a little, I couldn't help but notice a disappointed expression cross his face before leaving. Hm...maybe...

"No...it can't be..." I thought. Even if it was true there'd be no point in it.

Anyways, looking around, I noticed that we were at the front of the factory. I looked down and saw the previous children, with their parents, coming out. Each one different than when they came in. Augustus was covered in chocolate, Violet was doing sumersaults and, surprisingly, not chewing gum. Then came Veruca and Mr. Salt, both covered in trash. As soon as Veruca saw the elevator she pointed to it and looked at her father.

"Some people never learn." I thought before smiling, since it looked like Mr. Salt wasn't going to give her what she wanted. Then I saw Mr. Teavee come out, but where was Mike? Willy, Charlie, and I had to lean forwards a little before we saw him. I winced, he was probably the worst out of all them, since he was stretched to the point that you couldn't see him sideways. Anyways, as they all left through the gates, I smiled at the possiblity of all their lives being changed for the better. I then felt a nudge in my side.

"Where do you live at?" I heard Willy question. I shook my head, "I don't live with Charlie, I have a seperate house. But he lives in that little shack over there." I said pointing towards it. I watched as he looked in that direction before a slightly guilty expression came over his face. I blink, confused...what was there to be guilty about?

Anyways, as we got closer, I noticed that we weren't heading towards the ground. Before I could say anything we crashed through the ceiling of the shack. I blinked as dust and fallen wood surrounded us before turning to, slightly, glare at Willy. I hit him in his arm, "Was that necessary?" I questioned. He held his arm with shock before smiling, "Yes...I wanted to make an entrance." He said. I rolled my eyes with a smile before exiting the elevator, "You're Willy Wonka, you don't need an entrance." I didn't notice a blush come over his face before he too exited the elevator. Charlie ran around the both of us.

"Mom! Dad!" Charlie called out immediately going over to hug his parents, who were looking at the hole in the ceiling. After coming out of their shock, they looked at Charlie before looking at Willy. I noted that he seemed really uncomfortable now.

"Who is he?" Aunt Bucket questioned. Charlie smiled, "This is Willy Wonka." He explained, "He gave us a ride home." Uncle Bucket looked back up at ceiling.

"I can see that." He commented. I watched as Willy gave a nervous smile, "You must be the boys..." He, once again, struggled with the word.

"You don't have to say it and yes they are." I told him. He gave a grateful smile before turning back to the others. I smiled, "He says that Charlie has won something." I commented to move things along. We all then stared at Willy, as he took a look around the house, "Yes, but not just something." He said looking up. "The most 'something' something of any something that's ever been. I'm gonna give this little boy my entire factory." I blinked, not thinking that heard right.

"Did you just say you were going to give him your entire factory?" I questioned. Willy smiled, "Yep. You see, whilst I was having my semi-annual, I found a grey hair. And that's when I saw my whole factory and the Oompa Loompa's pass before my eyes. Who would watch over it and them when I'm gone? So at that moment I realized that I must find a heir. And that heir is you Charlie." He said. I couldn't help the smile that came over my face.

"So that's why you sent out the Golden Tickets." Charlie realized.

"Yep." Willy and I answered at the same time. We looked at each other, for a moment, before looking back at Charlie. Uncle Bucket, who was closest to me, whispered "What's an Oompa Loompa?" I chuckled. He'd find out sooner or later.

"So, do you want to come live with me at the factory?" Willy questioned Charlie. He nodded, "Yes, but can I bring my family along with me?" I noticed Willy flinch at the word family.

"Sorry..." He said after amoment, "You can't run a chocolate factory with a family hanging over you like an old, dead goose. No offence."

"None taken...jerk..." Grandpa George said. I ignored him as I listened to Willy explain his choice.

"A chocolatier has to run free and solo. He has to follow his dreams." He explained,"Gosh darn the consequences. Look at me. I had no family, and I'm a giant success."

"But your still traumatized by that fact." I could help but think.

"So if I go with you to the factory, I won't ever see my family again?" Charlie questioned. I sighed. I already knew the answer to that question.

"Yeah...uh...consider it a bonus." Willy said. Charlie frowned, "Then I don't want to go. I wouldn't give up my family for anything. Not for all the chocolate in the world." I smiled at how close he was to all of us. It was sweet...

"Oh..." Was all Willy said before an uncomfortable expression came upon his face. His eyes then flased towards me and back for a moement. I took this as my cue to say something...


-Willy's POV-


After I took a quick glance at Isaballa, to see her expression, she started walking over to me. It was obvious that she cared for Charlie, so, she was probably going to yell at me about my choice. I tried to prepare myself for it.

"Thank You." Was what I heard. I blinked, confused.

"What?" I questioned as if not hearing right. Was she thanking me?

"I said Thank you." She said, "Even with your choice, Charlie and I still had the experience of a lifetime today. Who else can say, besides the other contestants, that we've seen what was seen today? Nobody can. And, honestly, you've given a new meaning to the word imagination. I've never seen anything like the inventions you've created." She then chuckled a little, "Anyways, thanks for the experience Willy." She then headed back over to Charlie and his family. I blinked. Could I really leave them like this after all this? After all that she just said? After everything that I've felt and done today?

"Hm..." I thought before entering the elevator. I was about to close the doors when I heard, "Willy." It was Isabella. I looked up and she smiled, "I understand." I gave a small smile, knowing what she meant, before leaving the tiny shack. I had a lot to think about.


-Isabella's POV-


Once Willy, and the elevator, were out of site I turned around. I noted the knowing looks on everyone's faces.

I blinked, "What?" I innocently asked. Why were they looking at me like that.

"Nothing." Charlie said shaking his head. "I'll be upstairs if anyone needs me."

"Charlie." I said stopping him. He turned around, "What?" He questioned. I smiled, "Everything's going to be alright. Obviously you were meant for this position and like my dad used to say: When fate decides something it's permanent. So, don't worry about what just happened now, just think to the future and hope another chance comes around." He gave a small smile before going up the stairs. I frowned. After all this could I really tell him that I was going back to England in just over a week? It's either now or never.

"Um..." I started. Uncle and Aunt Bucket looked at me.

"What is it dear?" Aunt Bucket questioned.

"Could one of you..." I froze a thought coming to mind.

"Could one of us what?" Uncle Bucket questioned. I shook my head, "Nevermind that, I just wanted to ask if Charlie could come over to my house tomorrow. I kind of need to tell him something and now's not the greatest times."

"Is it about you leaving?" Aunt Bucket questioned. I looked at her in surprise. How did she know?

She smiled, as if reading my thoughts, "I knew that you had to leave sooner or later, you don't live here after all, and I'm your Aunt. I can tell these kind of things." She said. I blinked, not quite understanding that concept, but smiled nevertheless. As I walked over to the door, to leave, my eyes went up towards the hole in the ceiling.

"If you need any help with that..and I mean material wise..I can find something for you." I told them. Uncle Bucket shook his head," You've done enough for us, especially Charlie, we'll be able to take care of it." I didn't doubt that for a second.

"Tell Charlie that things will get better soon." I said before leaving the shack. As I went over to my car I couldn't help but look at the Chocolate factory. A quick wave of sadness came over me before it was washed away.

"Look towards the future Isabella." I said, "There's no point in brooding over something like this...you'll probably get over it once you leave anyways..." And with that I was off.
