Chapter 2
Scene: Tina Black is sitting on a ripped, brown couch surrounded by stuffed dogs in angel suits perched on wooden wall shelves. Mrs Spink and Mrs Forcible are bringing over tea and biscuits to her.
'Now then Caroline, tell us where have you been?'
Tina looks uncomfortably down at her shoes. 'My name is Tina not Caroline, and I just moved in twenty minutes ago.'
Another woman leans in and stares at Tina with a smashed lens on a stick. 'Hmm yes April, not Caroline, not at all.'
The woman has bulging eyes and enormous breasts.
She leans out. 'Now here is some tea and here are some biscuits Caroline.' Mrs Spink pushes a plate of moulded biscuits towards Tina. 'Thanks, Em but I'm not hungry.' Tina pushes the biscuits away. 'Look at those lovely yellow locks you have Caroline, Did you dye it?'
'Im not Caroline, I'm- never mind.'
Ms Spink smiles. 'Oh Caroline, Caroline, Caroline, Caroline.'
'I'm pretty sure its Coraline , Ms Spink.' Tina stands up.
'I'm sorry, I better be getting home, Mum will be worried.'
'Very well Caroline, tell your mother to come visit soon!'
Tina opens the front door and walks out. 'I will!'
'What a bunch of weirdo's, do I really have to stay here forever.'
Tina mumbles as she walks up the creaky stairs.
'BOO!'
Tins jumps up and falls down the stairs. She lifts up her hands to see a long, bloody scar.
'DAD!?'
Mr Blacks comes into sight from the fog and chuckles.
'Here,' He offers his hand to Tina. Tina helps herself up.
'What is wrong with you honestly.'
Mr Black chuckles. 'Oh Tina, come inside Mom has made us dinner, A mother special.' Mr Black walks into the house, followed by Tina.
'Eww Gross!' The smell of burnt food wafts through the air.
Tina pushes the kitchen door open. Ms Black is dishing a Gooey, mess onto plates. 'Mom? What is that?'
Ms Black rolls her eyes and shoves a plate at Tina.
'Eat.'
'But!'
'Eat.'
Tina sits with her family and tries to eat the mess.
Her mother watches her. 'Oh, how could I forget, this came in the mail today, No address just presumed it was yours from Coven' Ms Black hands Tina a doll. Tina looks at the doll.
It is just like her. The stitching is pretty bad, like it was hurried and the hair is ruff and frayed. 'Buttons for eyes huh.'
'If its no good I'll bin it.'
'No mom, I'll keep it, maybe then I'll only be 99% bored all the time.'
'And then maybe we won't have to hear about it all the time.'
Tins drops her fork into the Gou.
'I'm going to bed.'
'Night T.'
'Its Tina mom.'
'Night my lil sugar puffs, daddy's lil girl huh?'
'Ew dad! I'm not two anymore!'
Tina storms upstairs. 'Great, no bed!'
She pulls out all her clothes from her case and makes a long row out of them. 'Guess I'll have to sleep here then!'
She lies down and places the doll beside her.
'Good night little me, hope you sleep better then I will.'
