Author's Note: Alrighty darlings, I am so sorry that I haven't updated in forever. I've had major writers block next to college work, so both of those put together don't equal anything positive, that's for sure. Well, I only got 1 review so far (thank you Wormtail96), but don't worry, I'm not going to stop with my writing whether anyone reads this or not. Nevertheless, for those of you who did read it, I hope you enjoyed the first chapter of my story. Now we are at the point where Coraline 2 will make her mistake and receive her "just desserts." Reminder: this chapter does not contain cp (corporal punishment), but it will in later chapters, so if you are uncomfortable reading this kind of material, please do not do so and then leave me any unkind comments. This is strictly for those who like these kinds of stories.
Now, at the request of my friend Wormtail96, the future chapters will not have as severe of a punishment scene as my first story did, but it will still be dramatic enough to get everyone excited so don't worry lol. Anyway, please enjoy, and if anyone else has any requests for other stories, please don't hesitate to ask me. Have a blessed day dearies!
Love,
Maternalluv20/ Other Mother
Big Mistake
Later that night, the other mother and her daughters were all gathered around the dinner table for the scrumptious meal. The other mother had finished making her Macaroni Casserole as planned, which went along with a side of Caesar Salad, garlic breadsticks, Italian sausage soup, cheese sticks, sliced pears, and Tiramasu for dessert.
Coraline 2 stuffed her face no more than usual, but ever since her mother had scolded her sternly earlier, she had suddenly lost the desire to over eat. Of course while she felt convicted of her behavior, her stubborn pride wouldn't allow her to actually feel sorry for her selfishness and greed. However, though she still took more than her fair share of the portions, she was still cautious; eyeing her mother to see if she would send her a look of disapproval while scooping out the delicious, cheesy noodles.
Overall, dinner wasn't very exciting. While it was delicious, it was also very quiet. Occasionally, conversation between Caroline, Coraline 1, and the other mother could be heard at random points during the meal, however Coraline 3 merely at her meal in revered silence while continuously reading her book, and Coraline 2 made a point to glare at her sisters and other mother during the entire dinner.
She wanted nothing more than to smack that pretty smile off of Caroline's perfect face, but she could only dream of that fantasy, seeing as it would not get her good results with her mother. As for Coraline 1, she wanted to saw off all her mechanical limbs for taking part in Caroline's smug insults. But she would wait and do that in her sleep.
Coraline 2 chuckled evilly to herself while rubbing her fat hands in anticipation at the idea. Revenge would be so sweet.
"Thank you so much for dinner dearest mommy! It was delicious." The sweet voice of Caroline interrupted Coraline 2's thoughts. She looked up to see her loathed sister wrap her arms around her mother in a loving embrace.
The other mother smiled happily while lifting Caroline onto her lap and returning the embrace. "Oh you're very welcome sweetheart! Thank you for thanking me." She then planted a kiss on Caroline's cheek before petting her head.
Coraline 2 felt like she was going to hurl.
"Dinner was delicious mama, you'd make France jealous of your skills. Thank you for making dinner so delightful." Coraline 1 thanked shyly, trying to outdo her sister's suck up words of appreciation. The other mother looked upon Coraline 1 adoringly while reaching over to cup her repaired face, "You are most welcome my special little doll. I enjoy making delicious food for grateful daughters." Coraline 1 beamed triumphantly as her mother planted a kiss on her cheek as well.
Coraline 2 gritted her teeth angrily. She knew that her sisters were just trying to provoke her and make themselves appear as better daughters compared to her.
"Now then, why don't you go play my lovely lambs? Mommy will clean up, and then maybe we can all play a game." The other mother suggested cheerfully while getting up and beginning to clear the table.
"Okay mommy! Come on Coraline!" Caroline exclaimed excitedly, while grabbing Coraline 1's hand and dragging her into the living room.
As the other mother was clearing the table, Coraline 3 finished up her meal and brought her dishes to the sink before rinsing them off and putting them in the dishwasher. "Dear, you didn't have to do that." The other mother said softly while walking in with an armful of dishes and setting them in the sink.
"Now mother, what kind of daughter would I be if I didn't show my appreciation?" Coraline 3 asked inexpressively. "If anything, you shouldn't be cleaning up this mess, considering you slaved over making dinner."
The other mother felt touched at her daughter's unemotional, though considerate words. "Well darling, that's what mommies do. But thank you for being so grateful and understanding of my hard work." She replied fondly while kneeling down to embrace her blank daughter as well, wishing that she could see her smile for once.
After the embrace, both mother and daughter glanced back at Coraline 2 who was still sitting at the table, almost as if expecting her to say "thank you" as well.
They may as well have wished for the real Coraline to come back willingly, for this one certainly wasn't wiling to comply. Coraline 2 met their stares with her indignant, heated one, and merely stood up, banged her chair under the table, and stomped off furiously without so much as lifting a finger to put her own mess away.
The other mother sighed in defeat while shaking her head. "I'm afraid your sister will never change for the better." She said to Coraline 3 while standing up.
"Don't worry mother, it's only a matter of time before she comes to her senses." Coraline 3 replied blandly. Although she may have had no life in her voice, the other mother swore that her daughter almost sounded as if she knew something the other mother didn't.
"Yes well, why don't you go read some more my little bookworm? I'm going to finish up in here."
"As you wish." Coraline 3 answered obediently before walking out of the room and joining her laughing sisters in the living room.
As Coraline 3 entered the living room, she happened upon a conversation between her sisters Caroline and Coraline 1, as they played with their own dolls.
"I'm so glad that mother finally stood up to Coraline!" Coraline 1 laughed triumphantly, "I was beginning to think that she was a pushover or something!"
Caroline chuckled in response while braiding her doll's hair. "Now now my dear sister, remember that mother is gentle and loving. I believe she is always trying to maintain a patient stance, and maybe that's why it took her awhile to finally get strict with Coraline."
Coraline 1 shrugged, "Still…can't help but rejoice."
Coraline 3 sat in a chair near the fireplace, and continued to read the book while secretly listening to her sister's talk.
Coraline 1 began to attempt to braid her little doll's hair, but her mechanical hands didn't quite have the grace like her mother's did. Instead, she ended up tearing bits and pieces of the hair off with her needle-like hands.
"Oooooh! These damn hands!" She grunted in frustration while throwing her doll down impatiently. Caroline looked at her sister sympathetically before gently picking up the little doll. "Now Coraline, don't keep on fussing dear. Let me help you with your doll."
Coraline 1 scooted over to her sister while pouting. Caroline began to gently brush out some of the ripped blotches of hair, and smoothed the longer strands over the patches, covering up the damage. All the while, she continued to hum soothingly, the same tune that their mother often hummed when she was working in the kitchen.
"There now sweetie, Caroline is going to make you look very pretty for your poor mommy." Caroline said sweetly to the doll as if it were actually alive.
Coraline 1 looked at her sister with surprise before snickering. "Are you kidding me Caroline? You're talking to a doll…it's not exactly real." She giggled uncontrollably at her sister's motherly behavior towards the little toy.
Caroline gasped quietly while shaking her head disapprovingly. "Oh hush now Coraline! Even dolls have feelings. After all, isn't that what we are?"
"Yeah but we're actually breathing and talking…there's a difference ya know."
Caroline ignored her sister while finishing up the doll's hair, applying a lovely bow to the top. "Be that as it may, I love on my little dolls as if they were my own, and you should too dearie. All things should be loved…why do you think my dolls are in such good shape as compared to yours? Because I take care of them like a mother should."
Coraline 1 frowned, feeling a little insulted at her sister's words. "You don't have to rub it in Caroline. It's not like I purposefully ruin my dolls, but it's kind of hard when you have machinery for hands."
Caroline just smiled as she held up the now beautiful and cleaned up dolls. "There now darling! Don't you look lovely? Go back to our mother now." She then handed her sister the doll before returning to her own.
Coraline 1 shook her head in disbelief while awkwardly cradling the doll. "I swear Caroline, sometimes I think you and mother are twins."
Caroline sighed while changing her doll's dress. "A simple 'thank you' would suffice Coraline."
"Fine. Thank you 'other incredibly short mommy.' She looks beautiful. There, happy now? Mother?"
Caroline shrugged while tying the bow on her doll's dress. "Well one of us has to be the mature daughter you know Coraline dear. And who could be better for the job than me? Mother did make me to be like her after all." She praised herself almost snobbishly.
Coraline 1 glared at her beautiful sister while snorting. "No dear, mom designed you to be like the original Coraline just like the rest of us. But somehow, even though you do look like her except for the black button eyes and black hair, you're just a little 'mother.' And what do you mean you're the only mature one? What about Coraline 3?" She asked indignantly, while crossing her arms.
Coraline 3 could really care less what anyone thought of her, but she was curious to hear what the response would be.
Meanwhile, Caroline glanced at her sister with a look that made Coraline 1 think of their mother whenever she was cross. "Well, of course Coraline 3 is very wise for her age, but she has no emotion and is incapable of feeling. And maturity requires the ability to express emotion besides the capability of knowledge." She responded nonchalantly before finishing up her doll with a bow in her long hair.
"Gee thanks Caroline." Coraline 3's voice could be heard from the chair. Although there was no emotion in it, Coraline 1 could tell it would be sarcastic if she had any personality to her tone.
"Awww look at you my precious little doll!" Caroline praised lovingly while planting kisses all over her doll's scratchy face.
Coraline 1 just rolled her eyes while stroking her own doll's hair, feeling self-conscious that she was too embarrassed to act as maternal as her sister. Sometimes, she wished she could be her sister.
"What about me Caroline? Am I mature at all?" She asked curiously, hoping to receive some praise from her envied sister.
Caroline giggled while taking her sister's mechanical hand. "Oh dear, of course you have your moments, but even you can't deny that you sometimes act like a baby when no one pays attention to you. That's why you have me around when mother's too busy."
Coraline 1 opened her mouth to protest, but then shut it again when he realized her sister was partially right about that. "Okay, you're partially right about that." She admitted while suddenly feeling needy, before laying her head on her sister's lap, proving her words. Caroline chuckled softly while shaking her head. "See? Point proven luvy." She replied sweetly while tenderly stroking her sister's hair.
"No, seriously though, if you wanna talk about babies, that category would fall under Coraline 2." Coraline 1 laughed at the mention of her engorged sister. Caroline also joined in the laughter while nodding her head in agreement. " Oh no darling, she would fall under the category of spoiled, selfish, brat." The sisters both burst out laughing, as they knew this was true.
"Oh really Caroline?!" An angry voice interrupted the girl's laughter, silencing them both abruptly. "And what pray tell, would you be classified as, hmm? Mommy's perfect little princess!? Because that's what you are!"
Caroline and the other two Coralines all looked up to see their giant sister, towering over them, looking furious.
Caroline quickly stood up, and Coraline 1 moved with her. "Now don't be difficult Coraline," Caroline said sweetly while smiling at her enraged sister. "I was only stating the truth you know. Both of the other Coralines admitted to theirs, so you should as well. You can't deny that you have an act for being greedy, rude, selfish, and a bit bratty sometimes. But it's nothing a little diet or some therapy can't handle."
Coraline 2 felt something inside of her snap as she heard her sister syrupy words. Obviously she knew these were true, but she would be caught dead before she admitted that her precious sister was right. Her stubbornness was tested, and her pride had been hurt…and she was fed up now with her sister's convictions…
Coraline 1 cowered behind her confident sister, as Coraline 2 stalked towards them like an angry bull who had just seen the red flag waved in front of its eyes. "The truth eh?" She questioned angrily while stopping in front of Caroline, who looked into her eyes defiantly.
Coraline 2 grabbed the doll that was being cradled in Caroline's hands. "HEY!" She screeched, before jumping up from the ground alarmed. "GIVE ME BACK MY PRECIOUS DOLL!!!"
But Coraline 2 merely blocked her sister with her protruding gut, while holding the doll above her head. "You want TRUTH?! I'LL GIVE YOU TRUTH PRINCESS!!!" Eyes blazing, Coraline 2 began to calmly rip off items of the doll in her hand, one by one, while calling Caroline a list of obscene names.
"YOU…are a little spoiled brat!" She ripped off the doll's ribbon before ripping it in half and throwing it onto the floor.
Caroline gasped horrified.
"YOU…are a snobby little bitch who thinks she's the cream of the freaking damn crop!" She ripped off the doll's right arm off.
"NO!!!" Caroline cried while jumping up to snatch her precious doll away from her vicious sister's grasp.
But Coraline 2 merely grinned evilly and pushed her sister onto the floor hard.
"YOU…may look sweet, but if you were food, any poor fool would vomit you up as soon as they could get a taste of your disgusting, sickening, flavor!"
The doll's left leg was ripped off.
Caroline looked up from the floor, her eyes filling with glistening tears. "STOP…please…" She croaked out.
"YOU…are just an annoying little fungus that NO ONE IN THIS HOUSE WANTS AROUND!!!"
The doll's full head of hair was brutally ripped off, splitting the top open as fluff began to spill out.
Coraline 1 gaped disbelieving at the scene unfolding, while Coraline 3 just stared on expressionlessly, the book in her lap the only sign of her interest.
"And last but not least…" Coraline 2 sneered while slowly ripping the doll's button eyes out, one by one, "YOU…are a NOTHING! AN IT! A NOBODY! UNLOVED, UNWANTED AND PATHETIC…just like this useless DOLL!!!"
Caroline watched in horror as Coraline 2 ripped the doll completely in half, the fluff flinging everywhere like snow.
Caroline grabbed her own hair and let out a blood-curdling scream. "YOU HEARTLESS WITCH!!!" Caroline screamed as tears streamed down her face. She then lunged at Coraline 2 and attempted grab her neck, but she wasn't even close before Coraline 2 administered a loud slap across her sister's face that could be heard throughout the house.
Caroline fell on to the ground hard, sobbing as Coraline 1 quickly knelt down and enveloped her arms around her injured sister.
"MOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Caroline wailed at the top of her lungs while flailing in her sister's arms.
Coraline 1 held her sister soothingly, while rocking her. "Coraline…what have you done?" She whispered with shock at all that had occurred, as Coraline 2 continued to fume.
The footsteps of the Beldam could be heard rushing towards the living room. Coraline 2 seemed to realize what she had just done, and snapped out of her angry stance when the doors to the room slid open with a bang!
There, the girls' mother stood breathing heavily at the doorway. She seemed to freeze as her eyes frantically scanned the room. The doll completely destroyed; its remains spread throughout the room. Coraline 3, staring expressionless at her sisters; Coraline 2, looking incredibly guilty; and Coraline 1, holding her sobbing sister, who was cradling her injured cheek.
The other mother immediately rushed toward her crying child. "Darling! Whatever is the matter?! Talk to mommy precious." She took Caroline from her sister and turned her to face her.
"Mommy…" Caroline sobbed in response while burying her face in her mother's arms.
The other mother quickly held Caroline away for a moment, and her eyes immediately saw the angry red hand print that was planted on her pale cheek. The room seemed get colder as the other mother's eyes narrowed wrathfully at the sight. She looked at the remains of the doll again, before turning her gaze back upon her poor daughter. "Sweetheart, tell mommy who did this to you." Caroline only hiccupped while shakily pointing at Coraline 2, who was frozen in fear as the realization of the position she was in dawned upon her.
The other mother slowly turned her head around, and she glowered at her naughty, bloated daughter.
"You…" she growled dangerously as she felt herself begin to shift into her Beldam form. She quickly stopped herself before she lost control; she didn't want to frighten her other daughters with her true form, especially since she was this angry. "Coraline, darling," she began to say sweetly to Coraline 1, while stroking Caroline's hair gently, "would you and Coraline 3 please take your poor sister upstairs to her room? Give her a cold washcloth for her cheek, and stay up there until I come get you please. I need to speak to your sister for a few minutes."
The other mother didn't pull away her piercing gaze from Coraline 2 as she finished saying this.
Coraline 1 nodded fearfully, while quickly gathering Caroline into her arms, "Come on Coraline!" She waved to Coraline 3 anxiously before helping Caroline out of the room.
"Oh and Coraline dear?" The other mother said with a calm, yet dangerous tone, pausing Coraline 3 in her steps. "Yes, mother?" She responded non-chalantly at the door.
"Close the door please."
Coraline 3 nodded obediently in response, and softly closed the door.
Coraline 2 watched with fear as her mother slowly walked towards the door, and locked it. The soon to be, very sorry doll felt her heart stop when she saw her mother begin to grow taller, and more anorexic looking in front of her terrified button-eyes.
"My dear…" the now beldam form said before turning around. Her usual smile was twisted into an atrocious, incensed scowl, and Coraline 2 backed up against the wall feverishly, knowing there was no escape from the wrath of her mother.
"You…" the other mother continued to hiss dangerously, while grabbing one of the bug chairs behind her, "have just made a big…horrible mistake young lady!!!"
