The Chocolatiers

The Crazy Glass Elevator

Hey guys! I'm sorry that I haven't updated in a while. I've been busy with school. Anyways, here you go!
*************************************
*Grace's P.O.V.*
I broke the kiss, and looked around. "How did you all get down here?" I asked. "We all knew you would take him somewhere, we sort of ease dropped on you guys, sorry." Bob said, looking down at his feet. "It's alright. But how did you know where?" "Well, Jerri, Minni, and I asked around the factory; looking for you guys. We couldn't find you. You guys weren't in any of the known rooms in the factory, so we went with the room that was unknown, and no one has been down here. We didn't even know about it." Bob said. "But I knew about the unmarked button." Minni blurted out. I nodded in understandment.
"Well, how about we go and give Charlie his prize?" I asked Willy. He smiled. "That's a terrific idea!" We then turned to Charlie. "You ready?" I asked. "Yeah!" He exclaimed excitedly. "Well, what are we waiting for?!? What is it?" I asked. Willy just winked, and started walking. "Where are you going?" I asked. " To the glass elevator." Willy called back to me. "Your going the wrong way." I laughed. He stopped, turned around, and smiled at me. "I knew that." "Really? Then, why where you headed over to the tiger's rock?" His eyes widened.
"There are tigers down here?!?" He asked. "Yep. But don't worry, they won't hurt you, or anyone else." I smiled, walking down the path to grab his hand. I then began to play with my locket. Willy noticed. "What's that?" "Oh, um, it's my locket. My parents gave it to me on my tenth birthday, just before... the incident." I said, looking down at it. He seemed to panic a little. "Oh, um, what does it say?" He said, changing the subject. "It says, 'Heart that I filled, O Virgin in your hand, Enclosed is my prayer,bless the future.'" "I don't recognize the words." Willy said. "That's because it's an old language, forgotten about by humans, it is the language of the Keepers." I explained.
"You're gonna have to teach me, sometime. As I said before, I'm a fast learner." I smiled at him. "Of course, but no promises." I stuck my tongue out at him. He laughed. I turned to look at Grandpa Joe and Charlie. Grandpa winked at me, Charlie smiled at me. I smiled back at them. We reached the elevator. I pressed the button.
The elevator doors opened, and we got in. Willy pressed the button. My eyes widened, and I looked at him. "You're not serious, are you?!?" "Up and out? What kind of room is that?" Charlie asked. I looked at him with worry. "Hold on." Willy said. "But, Willy, you haven't even tested it yet. Besides, the speed and the velocity of the elevator needs to go at least fourty miles an hour, that is not even counting the wind density and how many people are in the elevator. (A/N: I don't know what things go into account here, but I'm just guessing here.) Plus the different weight of each person. And-" "don't worry about it." Willy cut me off. I looked down. Which I instantly regretted. I grabbed ahold of Willy.
After a little while, Willy looked around. "Oh my goodness. We're gonna need to go much faster otherwise, we just never break through." Grandpa looked at Willy, with realization. "Break through what?" Charlie asked. I looked at Willy, and sighed. Willy looked at Grandpa and grinned while saying, "I've been longing to press that button for years." He laughed a little. "Well, here we go. Up and out!" The last part he said in a song-song voice. "But do you really mean-" "yeah I do." "But it's made of glass. It'll smash into a million pieces." Willy just laughed. I shook my head. "This is why I like to fly." I mutter. Willy looked at me questionably. "Later." He nodded. All the while, the elevator was speeding up, and headed up towards the glass chimney top really quickly. Grandpa grabbed onto Charlie. I prepared to get them to safety, of the elevator didn't work. I just really hope I can save them all.
We broke through, and went soaring into the air. We all looked up, then we started falling, and looked down again. The ground was coming up quickly. Willy was just staring off into space, clinging to me. "Willy?" I said. He turned to the panel, and looked around. He found the button, and pressed it. The boosters on the ends of the elevator started up, and we hovered. Grandpa let out a breath of relief.
The front door to the factory opened, and the others started walking out. I sighed sympathetically. "I feel sorry for them." I said. Willy looked down at them. "But they are rotten, they deserve it." "I know, but still." He smiled at me. Augustus was sucking on his fingers. With my heightened senses, I could hear everything their conversation. Heck, I can hear their heart beats and breathing.
"Augustus, please, don't eat your fingers!" His mother exclaimed. "But I taste so good." Augustus argued. They walked down the steps, and kept walking. Violet and her mother walked out next. Violet was having the time of her life, while her mother... Let's just say that she was upset. Violet was doing flips and other Acrobatic things. She was on all fours backwards, and she put her head under her, looking up at her mother. "Look, mother. I'm much more flexible now." She said, smiling. Her mother turned to her. "Yes, but you're blue." She said, clearly upset. Is it just me, or is she jealous of her daughter. She then started walking away. She turned her head and saw us in the elevator. She saw Willy and I together, and made a 'Humph' sound. I smirked. Next, Veruca and her father, Mr. Salt came out. Covered in garbage. He looked at his daughter, and then started walking again. Mike and his father came out as well. They did as both Willy and I had thought of. But, he was extremely tall. Look at who's going into basketball. I smiled. Now he can finally join a sport. Then I frowned. He probably won't do that. Veruca looked up at the elevator, then excitedly turned to her father.
"Daddy, I want a flying glass elevator." I sighed. Doesn't she ever learn? "What are you sighing about?" Willy asked. "Veruca. She just asked her father for-" but then Mr. Salt turned to his daughter and said, "Veruca, the only thing you're getting today is a bath, and that's final." "Never mind. Her father just turned her down." Willy smiled. "At least someone learned something." "Yeah, though I'm sure that Violet has learned her lesson too." I said. He nodded a bit. "But I want it!" Veruca said. Her father, just gave her a look. Mr. Teavee kept looking up at his son. "And I'm sure that Mike has learned a few things." "Probably." Grandpa said. "But you never know." I nodded. The gates opened, letting the others out. Willy then looked at Charlie and asked, "Where do you live?" They turned and Willy and I looked. My smile slowly faded. "Right over there. That little house." Charlie said. It's more like a shack. It's slowly disintegrating. I wonder what Willy is giving Charlie. Hopefully, it's some money or something. Because, I can tell just by looking at their home, that they barely have enough money. Only to eat. Not enough to fix their house. The poor things. But, they seem happy. And that's all that matters. I looked down at Charlie and smiled. In just this short day, they have become like family to me. And I want to help them in all the ways I can. If Willy isn't going to help them, I will.
