A\N: Hi! Welcome back to me and my viewers to another writing section in my life. For the people who don't know where the hell they are right now then here's my say: this is a sequel to Believe in what you want to Believe in. If you are here just because, I advise you to keep scrolling down the page and then you may have meaning in your life. If not then you honestly have more problems then I can deal with. If I sound harsh then I must be the one with the problems. Which I already know I do. So here is the beautifully written sequel that I know you will love! And please, don't forget to comment, I love feedback and love letters about how good my story is! (or isn't, but I know you guys aren't heartless like that, at least I don't think?)

"Coraline."
"Coraline."
"Coraline, why did you leave us?"
"We loved you as much as we could."
"But, you left us."
"We were alone."
"Now we are going to suffer."
"But not as much as you….."
"No, I didn't mean to leave you." I replied as I ran after the shadows of two figures that went into a dark room. "You know I love you."
"No you didn't."
"You left us for Her."
"Why Coraline? Why?"
"It, I…. I…..I wish I knew….." I said as I cried. I still walked in slowly into the dark room. As I walked in, the door closed behind me. I jumped, but still pressed forward, farther into the room.
"Coraline." Said another voice that was different than the one's I heard before.
"Coraline. I have a secret."
"What is it?" I automatically answered.
"I love you, but your parents didn't."
"Your lying! They did love me!" I objected. I was scared at my mind. At first I wanted to leave but, I knew I had to stay. The voice was soft then went hard.
"If they loved you then why did you leave?"
I was speechless. Did I have to have a reason for leaving? I already knew it was wrong but, I was younger back then. No common sense was in my mind. Some? Yes. A lot? No.
"It's time."
"Time for what?" Something in my mind told me I should've ran when I had a chance, because when I asked that question a bright light shined in my face. When I was able to see clearly I looked down. What I saw wasn't floor. It was a hole. And, in that hole was bugs. Lot's of them too. But, that wasn't what scared me the most. Then I saw my parents on the other side of the hole. They weren't looking at me, they were looking down into the hole. Then I saw another figure behind them. It flashed a grin at me and then I screamed to them, "Look out behind you!"
They didn't hear me and I continued screaming at them to move, but then it was too late.
The figure raised his arms and shoved both of my parents into the hole. I screamed as tears over flowed my eyes, making my vision blurry. I almost jumped in myself but stopped when I saw who the figure was. It was Connor and behind him was the Beldam, Other Mother. They both smiled at me like nothing just happened, like they were my neighbors or something. Then Connor pulled a gun and pointed it at me, then said,
"It's time for you to die." Then he shot me in the heart…….
I awoke up, screaming. Damn, I thought, another nightmare. I checked the time. 2:38, great. I have the job interview today and I need to pay my rent also for the last time. I'm finally moving out of the Pink Palace into my new home in California that I bought with my old job money I have been saving for years. I figure that if I quit my old job then I could get a new job in California. Even though the job I'm tying to get hired in is in San Diego, California and I'm in Michigan, one of the company's many locations are located here and they agreed that if I did the job interview here they will send my results there and get back to me as soon as possible. Most of my stuff is already there in San Diego and whatever isn't there I can take when I leave on a plane.
Sam, my best friend since we were 11 years old moved out when she earned her Bachelors Degree when she was 22. She then met her "Soul Mate", as she would put it, and left to start a family. We still stay connected, talking on the phone, E-Mails, postcards and letters. I didn't leave the Pink Place though. I stayed and went on for a Masters Degree that I earned at S.U.M (State University of Michigan). Here I am, at age 24, still living in my childhood home. To my surprise, both Connor and Wybie finished the same year I did in college. (Connor was years, no about a century behind at school, thanks to the beldam and Wybie was always a little lazy and sometimes slow. I guess that didn't stop him.)
I went out with Wybie first, we actually hit it off pretty well, then we kinda went far and I mean far. We did it a little after our last year of high school together. I still can't believe I didn't become pregnant. Then he, supposedly fell in love with this anorexic girl in my Advanced English class. I was like whatever, then I hit it off with Connor. (I'm still happily with him.) Wybie got real mad after he found out that we…….
"Coraline are you ok? I heard a scream, and your they only one at night who screams like that." I looked at Wybie who was tying to see my face in the dark. I was thankful for that, he would have thought I looked like a drunk, guessing by my scared face I had on. Then he asked, "Did you have another nightmare again?"
I wasn't sure if I should tell him with or without the details or not at all. I just shook my head and said, "Yeah."
"Want to talk about it?" Oh, hell no. Talk to Wybie about something and then he's knocked out, sleep.
"No, I'm fine."
"Want me to stay in here?"
I just rolled my eyes. What do I look like? A 4 year old?
"No, you go ahead and go back to sleep."
"Ok, but if you need something, you know where to find me." And with that he walked out the door, gently closing it behind him.
I don't know why he wants me, but he knows that I'm already with Connor. Speaking of Connor why didn't he come in here? Oh, right, Mr. Deep-Sleeper always goes to bed late, expecting me to talk to him all night. He's probably passed out on the couch downstairs.
Again, thinking about other people besides yourself. I wanted to go to sleep but these cramps been killing me for the past few days. I don't think I missed my period, but if I did then I already know what that means. Something I don't need until I have money from my job first. I don't even want to think about that job right now, so I forced my eyes close and then before I knew it, I was sleep.

Well that's the end of chapter one! And, if you noticed I did something different, this time I wrote from Coraline's point of view. It's not going to be like that all the time so try to look for clues to see who's view it is. But, I hope you enjoyed and enjoying my sequel right now from where it is. I have to go but, don't forget to leave a review and see you guys in chapter two!
