Author's Note: Please review my story because I am quite new here and would like to know what you think.
"Coraline, dear, I am sorry for my behavior to you these days. Actually I am not that surprised about the fact that you are a daydreamer. And… Maybe too much affected by what you see or read. But…err…Nevermind, I love you."
-Mel J.
Coraline had found this card on her drawer. This might seem strange to you but Coraline hugged the card for ten seconds. Then she put it on her drawer and went downstairs to have breakfast. Her mom was making omelets and his father was reading the newspaper. She thanked her mother about the card and her mom was just like "Err…No problem." In her annoyingly emotionless voice. Her mother filled the plates. She walked to them to give them the plates. Just then, her father looked up from the newspaper to her mom. Then pointed Coraline with his head. Coraline turned her head to her mom. She looked hopeless and shook her head sideways so fast like she was afraid to be seen. Coraline thought that it was suspicious. Was there anything that they weren't telling her?
She thought, yes. Because her father gave her mother a look like "Tell her." And he seemed to be reading the same page and the same part of the newspaper. "What's the matter? What's the issue you aren't telling me?" If her parents weren't saying something that was supposed to be told, it was probably something really really really serious. "I can't!" whispered Mrs. Jones with a sad expression on her face. Mr. Jones just murmured "Smart kid." "Wybie fell to the well, honey." Said Mrs. Jones quickly, feeling like getting it off her chest." "But this… This doesn't make any sense!" She ran to the forest, crying.
When she went closer to the area, she saw some wheel marks. She touched the ground, which was in a mud form and slippery because of the rain the day before. "Little idiot! That's why he… he…" Coraline ran away home , her face was white and under her eyes was pink-red.
Coraline laid on bed till her mom called. "Coraline! Miss Lovat wants to talk with you!" Coraline ran downstairs and took the phone in a quick movement from her mom. Mrs. Jones left to have a chat with Mr. Jones (Hmm…Strange!) "Coraline, dear, how are you?" "Not bad, Miss Lovat, and you?" "Quite bad dear, quite bad. I tell people that I don't tell the police because I can't stand seeing Whyborne dead. But the truth is, she is kidnapped by… You know who she is. No one except you, would believe me, right?" "Unfortunately yes, Miss Lovat." "Unfortunately that's because of you, Miss Jones." She laughed at the part she said "Miss Jones" but then continued her speech. "I found a note in Whyborne's desk. If to summarize it, Whyborne had written me that that sick creature kidnapped you. And that the sick creature told Wybie that she could let Coraline go if he sacrificed himself. But there was one condition: He had to come with his motorbike and leave it on the stones of the well so it would look like an accident. Whyborne finally says where it was told to her. By her, near the well, so this means that only access isn't the little door. But how could he know that it's a portal to the Other World too? He wouldn't believe it if she said so, would he?" "Maybe she convinced her by telling him 'Why would I make you die (And you have probably realized that I came from there too) when I have a chance of lying and eat both souls? Anyway, you still must save Coraline, mustn't you? You must have known that I made it impossible for her to escape all alone, if I don't let her do that (Which I wouldn't if there's nothing else to eat)?" offered Coraline, which was the exact way of convincing Whyborne (almost the same speech, so continue daydreaming, you did a good job Coraline! You don't know yet but it's not that important) "OH MY TEA! I FORGOT TO GET IT FROM THE OWEN! BYE CORALINE!" shouted Miss Lovat suddenly. "Bye Miss Lovat!" replied Coraline but the phone call was already finished.
She went back to her room and played with her toys. Mr. Turtleboy said, "What was that? Where have you been?" "I was with her, long story…" said Mr. W.L. Soldier (stands for: Wise Guy, Liar) "Are we going to rescue him?" asked Coraline. "Who?" asked Mr. W.L Soldier. "Wybie of course, silly thing!" Soldier was upset with this comment but said "We have to." Coraline laughed.
"Coraline?" said Wybie. His voice echoed. Someone opened the door of the well. It was CORALINE! "Wybie! You are here for me?" then he hugged him. Wybie blushed then saw the buttons. "Oh no!" The fake sweet voice said "Oh yes! You were stupid enough to fall in this trick." It was transforming as it said this. After that, Beldam clapped her hands and then lid of the well closed. From its little hole little paper pieces fell and when they touched the ground, they turned into rats (remember from the film: before the first time Coraline was entering to the Other World, there were paper mice swirling in front of the bricks) "Coraline will save me, that's for sure, you evil witch!" "We'll see." Said Beldam ignoring Wybie saying "evil witch". "But why don't we just go and sew the buttons for you while waiting for that little brat?" Wybie gulped. He felt that it wasn't easy defeating Beldam this time.
Feeling a bit worried for Wybie? Hope you enjoyed this chapter please review!
