things are picking up!


Coraline was filled with anger and sadness. She was still shocked at what he had done. By now Wybie was gone, and Coraline was left alone in her large apartment. She had sent Wybie away and told him not to come back. I hurt her to say the words, but he deserved it, after all he's done. And at the moment, Coraline wanted to do nothing more but sink into a deep sleep, and let the problems melt away.

But before she could make it up the stairs, the worst sound hit her ears. Her parents car door. Goody . She thought. Her mother rushed through the door, by now, it was pouring rain outside. Coraline was surprised that she hadn't noticed. Her mother was sopping wet, and so was her mothers precious computer case.

Expecting a hello, well, there was none. But Coraline wasn't surprised she didn't get one, she'd be surprised if she actually got one. It would be like getting a birthday present of a thousand dollars. " My laptop!" her mother yelled. Course. Her mother frantically opened the cracked leather case, quickly ripped it out and turned it on.

She sighed a sigh of relief to know that her laptop had not been broken, and was working perfectly. Without even noticing Coraline, she pulled out one of the chairs from underneath the kitchen table, and started writing. The retched clicking of the laptop keys hit Coralines ears like led bullets. Constant clicking was heard throughout the house almost twenty-four hours, a day, every day, for an endless three-hundred- sixty-five days a year. Annoying.

Coraline resumed making her way up the stairs to her room to change. The creaks of the wood floors added to the annoyance of the clicking keys. Just wait 'till dad gets home. Joy!. She thought sarcastically .She made her way to the bathroom, and did her duties before bed. All changed and ready for bed. Coraline made one more walk down the hall to her room.

Getting into bed, Coraline noticed something. It was a box. What is that? The box was orange, blue stripes, with a bow on top. Hey! That looks familiar. With curiosity taking hold, Coraline reached to the end of the bed, and picked up the small box. Before opening the box, she examined it. She felt strange, how the box looks so familiar. With shaky hands, she tried to open the box.

She couldn't help but think someone was watching her as she lifted up the cover. Before taking it off the cover, she took a careful look around, nerves taking over. Noone was there. Hmmmm... taking off the cover, a look of horror formed. Coraline saw the two things that haunted her most.

The buttons.
