The sunlight shone through the window and onto her skin.

She groaned quietly before yawning. She ran a hand through her hair before propping herself on her elbow. She looked at the nightstand and saw a note.

She picked it up and read it:

Dear Brianna, I hope you slept well. Meet me At the Buckets house for breakfast. I laid some clothes for you on the bed.
-Willy

The buckets? Who were they? Where was their house?

She looked at the foot of the bed and saw clothes.

It was a black skirt with a red blouse and black flats. She slightly smiled before getting up.

She walked to the bathroom and showered before drying herself off and changing. She looked at herself in the mirror and sighed quietly before walking out of the room.

She saw a tiny man and raised an eyebrow.

"Do you know where the buckets house is?" She asked politely. He nodded and pointed down the hallway, into the chocolate room.

"Thank you"

He bowed before walking off. She walked down the hallway and came across two doors. She had to duck down slightly. She knocked on the door and waited.

The doors opened, revealing Willy.

"Good morning Brianna.."

He gently took her hand in his and placed a soft kiss on her knuckles, making her blush.

"Good morning Willy."

She looked over his shoulder, her eyes filled with awe. "Whoa... what is this place?" She asked, just above a whisper.

Willy smiled and led her inside.

"This my dear, is the chocolate room."

Her hair covered her swollen eye, her right eye sparkling. "Its beautiful..."

Willy smiled as she looked at her. "It's very beautiful..."

He realized he was staring at her before shaking his head. "Let me introduce you to the bucket family."

Sitting right by the chocolate river was the bucket house.

They walked towards it and Willy opened the door.

"The earth says hello!"

Brianna couldn't help but giggle softly, which made Willy's cheeks heat up.

The buckets looked at him. "Good morning to you too..."

Mrs bucket said before looking at Brianna. "And who are you dear?"

She asked as they walked inside. "Brianna..."

Mrs bucket looked at her and frowned. "Oh you poor dear. You must be starving..."

She led her to the table and sat her down. She looked at the others who gave her reassuring smiles. Charlie walked towards her and sat down next to her. "Hello. My names Charlie."

She smiled softly. "It's nice to meet you Charlie..."

Willy sat down next to her on the other side.

After being introduced to everybody and eating, Willy decided to take Brianna on a small tour.

They walked out of the chocolate room and into another room...

Candy paradise

"This room... I think you'll love..."

He opened the doors and Brianna's eyes widened.

Gummy Monkeys were swinging from tree to tree, birds cawing. The trees were licorice and there was a beautiful crystal blue river.

"It's... amazing.." she whispered. A white bunny hopped towards her and rubbed its head against her leg. She knelt down and rubbed its head, smiling softly.

"Close your eyes..." Willy said softly.

Brianna stood up and closed her eyes.

"Open your mouth"

She did as told, wondering what he was doing.

Willy placed a light brown circular object in her mouth.

Brianna's mouth closed and her teeth bit down on it. Her mouth was filled with a sweet caramel, mixed with whipped cream.

Brianna grinned in delight and swallowed, feeling the warm gooey goodness slide down her throat.

"What was that?" She asked as she opened her eyes and looked at him.

"Caramel delight..."

Brianna smiled. "It was wonderful..."

Willy sat down on the grass and patted the space next to him. She sat down beside him and looked at him.

"If you don't mind me asking... why were you out in the cold yesterday?"

Brianna looked down as tears filled her eyes.

"U-um... m-my f-father got drunk and h-he abused me... he kicked me out afterwards..." a few tears fell down her cheeks.

Willy felt awful.

He gently pulled her in his arms and rubbed her back. "I'm so sorry..."

She buried her face in his chest as he gently rocked her. He didn't mean to upset her.

"Ssh... he won't hurt you again. I won't let him..." he whispered in her ear.

He needed to protect her. Little did he know, he was falling In love with her. And she was falling in love with him.
