Lucys Pov
A few minutes later, Mrs Scrubitt came barging into the kitchen, and she looked mad. She then grabs Noodle forcefully by her ear and drags her to the most cold and horrible place ever the coop. "I want to teach you a lesson, you miserable little book worm!" She shouts at her. I tried to grab her, but Mrs Scrubitt shoved me so hard that I fell to the floor. I cried out in pain. "You can't do this. What did she do wrong?" I cried.
"She knows exactly what she did, you brat. Now stop squirming! And you stop helping her, or I'll do something much worse to her than put her in the coop for a few hours!" Mrs Scrubitt said. I nodded and kept my mouth shut. And watched as she dragged Noodle to the coop. When she was gone, I ran to my room and closed the door. I then sat on my bed with my head in my hands crying slilently. After a good crying session, I washed my face with cold water. I then walked across the hall and found myself at the man's door.
I knocked and waited for him to awnser. After a few seconds, I heard a faint "come in." I opened the door. "Are you stalking me or something?" I asked as I entered his room. "No, I'm not. I didn't even know you were here five seconds ago, but it is really nice to see you again since we didn't get a chance to talk to each other. Im Willy, by the way, Willy Wonka." He said and outstretched his hand for me to shake.
I placed my hand in his and shook it. "Nice to meet you, Willy Wonka. I'm Lucy Lucy Upton." I said with a tiny smile. "It's nice to meet you too, Lucy." He said with a smile. "You know you really could've picked a better place to sleep for night." I commented after a moment of awkward silence. "And why is that? Besides, I don't have a sovereign to my name, so where else was I supposed to go?" He asked with a chuckle.
Im not sure, actually, but I guess you're right. You said it's all about to change tomorrow. How come?" I asked, curiosity, taking the best of me."Well, let's just say I plan to make a lot of money with what I'm planning tomorrow." He stated proudly. I just chuckled and looked up at the clock above me. " Well, Mr Wonka, it's time for me to bid you farewell." I said, but as I was about to leave, he grabbed my wrist. "Will I see you tomorrow?" He asked.
I blushed, but luckily, the light was dim, so he didn't see my face. I hope. " Maybe maybe not depends on where I am." I said, smirking at him. He just chuckled and let's go of my wrist. "Goodnight Lucy." He said. "Goodnight, Willy, and good luck tomorrow. You're gonna need it." I said, and with that, I walked away to my room, changed into my pajamas, and got in bed trying not to think about Noodle.
A few hours went by, and I couldn't sleep. And I think I know why. I looked at the clock on my wall and saw it's about 10:30 am. "It's not too late. I can still get her." I mumbled to myself. And a few minutes later, I got her. " Thanks for saving me." Noodle said with a smile and hugged me."Of course, Noodle, I couldn't leave you alone down there." I said and led her to the bed where she snuggled up beside me.
A few minutes later, she was fast asleep.I smiled and kissed the top of her head. " Don't worry, Noodle, tomorrow will be a better day for the both of us. I can feel it." I said and hugged her close to me as I fell asleep.
