"Okay kids, dinners in the oven, I want you in bed by nine. And I'm taking the T.V remote, Don't sulk, last time I left you two alone I caught you watching Nightmare on Elm street. Trust me I don't want to get any phone calls from you kids because you can't go back to sleep!" Mel said while putting the T.V remote in her bag.
Wybie fell backwards into the sofa while groaning while Coraline stayed quiet, they wouldn't have time for T.V tonight anyway.
As soon as Charlie walked into the room Mel bounced on him with all the questions she could think of.
"Did you get the papers?"
"Yes"
"Did you sort out the files?"
"Yes"
"Did you remember to bring the files?"
"Yes"
"Did you get our bags?"
"In the car"
"Do you remember what room were in?"
"Room 23, floor 5. Look were fine, were ready to go, stop freaking out already" Charlie said before Mel could hit him with another question.
Mel was about to argue but instead took a deep breath. She walked over to the kids who were sitting on the sofa, Coraline looking at the small door while Wybie was staring at the T.V longingly.
"Okay were going now, bye kids" she said before kissing Coraline on her head and ruffeling Wybie's hair.
Charlie waved goodbye before he and Mel walked out the door and locked it behind them.
Coraline turned to face Wybie, "Come on lets go" she said before walking over to the door.
Wybie followed while cursing under his breath. Then something suddenly dawned on him, "Wait how we going to open it, we threw the key down the well" he asked.
Coraline stared at him like he was an idiot, "Do you really think I'm that dumb, I thought about it earlier and I got someone to go get it for me" she said before she walked over to the window.
Wybie stared at her confused, "Really? Who?".
Coraline rolled her eyes before she opened the window. A small black feline jumped upon the window still before Coraline scooped it up in her arms.
"You sent my cat!" Wybie said dumbstruck. He had decided it would be much easier to give the small creature a real home and keep him as a pet instead of calling him feral all the time, he had even brought him a red coller from the pet shop two months ago.
Coraline again rolled her eyes before Wybie took cat out of her arms. Coraline took the black buttoned key out from the cats mouth with slight hesitation.
Wybie watched as she walked over to the small door in the corner of the room, she slowly kneeld down beside it. Shacking, Coraline put the key into the lock but did not turn it.
"Jonesy?" Wybie said as he came to her side. The cat padded her arm with his paw to show her his support while Wybie gave her an encouraging smile.
Damn them boys and their nicey'ness.
Coraline slowly returned the smile, their was no way she was going to give up after what her friends have done for her in the past.
She opened the door.
They were greeted by a grey dark tunnel that looked as if it led to nowhere.
Dust and cobwebs danced around gracefully as two children and a cat entered inside.
Wybie nervously eyed his surroundings as if something was going to come out and grab him at any second.
"Jonesy I just want you to know, if I die... then you can forget me buying you that cookie" he said still looking paranoid.
"How people call you smart I shall never know" said a deep gritty voice from behind.
Wybie froze. He slowly turned his head around to see the person that was following, all he found was the black cat staring back at him.
"What?" cat asked casually.
Wybie screamed and jumped backwards which made the entire tunnel shake. This only achieved in making all three of them fall over and getting a load of dust in their eyes.
"Wybie you idiot I told you he could talk" Coraline said angrily before getting back on her hands and knees.
"Well its freaky" Wybie said in his defence.
Soon after a long explanation about the cat talking they made it to the other side.
Coraline pushed the door open slowly to reveal a dark room with the fire place as its only source of light.
Coraline looked around but saw no one around. Slowly she stood up, she felt nausea and thought she would faint at any moment, this place gave her so many nightmares. Wybie and cat soon followed her lead and stood up by her side.
Wybie bent down and scooped the cat up into his arms, he told himself it for cats protection but deep down he knew it was for comfort.
Coraline looked around again to make sure nothing came out at her, but at the same time wished someone would.
She had to find the Other Mother, she needed to know if she was the one killing all the other children.
"Hello!" Coraline yelled out, her voice echoed through the room.
"I-I don't think she's here" Wybie said while walking to her side, "Maybe we should come back later..."
"No, she's here, she's in this very room" the cat said while looking behind the children, he finished with a hiss.
Coraline and Wybie gulped before they turned their heads to look at what was behind.
Fear was written all over their faces as they jumped back, Coraline linked arms with Wybie while his grip on the cat tightened.
There behind them was the Other Mother sat on the bug like sofa, she had her arm reached out for them and only one button was sown on her face. Peaces of her face had fallen off and her hair was nearly gone, she only had a few short strands left.
She was week and nearly lifeless.
She was dying.
