I got two reveiws for the last chapter, Mohegan and Hermionewiz27 this chapter is dedicated to you guys.
Disclaimer: I do not own Coraline. Maybe I should talk to Neil Gaiman or Henry Selick...
"Hello, Coraline, dear"
Coraline made a growling noise in her throat "Where's Wybie?"
"That's what you're here for"
"Yeah I know. Where is he?"
The Beldam tapped her button eyes "You'll have to find him"
"You want me to find him?"
Cat hissed distrustfully at her "Don't do it. Remember who you're dealing with, she'll cheat for sure."
Coraline nodded and the Beldam looked hurt.
"I would never cheat" She claimed
"She also lies" Cat muttered.
"SHUT UP VERMIN! YOU ARE RUINING MY PLAN BY JUST BEING HERE!"
Coraline looked startled by the change from the sickly-sweet Mrs. Jones replica to the yelling, insane one and stepped back a little bit.
"Just Wybie, though? There's a catch"
"Well there is another child or two…"
"What!?"
"I was hungry!"
"You're just- you're a monster!" Coraline had started shaking with anger "I can't believe-"
"One was before you came along; the other however-"
"I have to find their eyes?"
The Beldam nodded.
"Good thing Ms. Spink and Forcible made another one of these for me, then!"
The Beldam growled and lunged for the item in question, a blue triangular object with a clear, round hole in the middle, but once she got a grip on it Cat snatched it away from her and dropped it in Coraline's palm, smirking at the now livid witch.
She snarled, she didn't plan on Coraline having that.
"You'll have to give me that."
"Not a chance. It wouldn't be fair that way, you would be cheating."
The Beldam growled "Fine, but if you lose, not only do I sew buttons on your eyes I sew them only that other kid's."
"Wybie?!"
"That's the one."
"So he's still button less?"
"Not for long"
"What about hints?"
"The same ones as last time apply"
Coraline pulled down on her hat. "Okay"
Coraline ran out into the garden quickly picking up the eye candy (A/N that's what they called it on the website) and looking through it.
She finally saw a bright red dot on the bridge.
"Yes!" She ran up to it and saw that it was in a snapping dragon. She pulled out her gardening shears and snipped the stem, then she opened the petals and retrieved a small orange ball. The eye candy she used on it confirmed that it was an eye.
"Huh- that was easy." She shrugged and started down the bridge.
Then a clear, sharp scream echoed through the night.
Coraline held onto the part of the bridge that was still intact. A huge section that she had been walking on had broken underneath her feet and nearly caused her to plunge into the small pond below, where other father had fallen.
She took a couple of short jagged breaths and tried to pull herself up the undamaged part of the bridge.
She nearly got onto it but her knee slipped and this time her bag, including the newly found eye, ended up plummeting toward the depths of the pond before it got caught on her foot.
Through many difficult maneuvers she finally got the bag resting back on her shoulder and could focus on getting back up.
When she finally got back onto the bridge she ran out of the garden and looked up at the moon. It was already half covered by a button-like shadow.
"Oh no…"
I've been doing a lot of cliffies lately... *shrugs* you'll have to deal with it.
Reveiw people! Thanks again to Mohegan and Hermionewiz27, who had a chapter dedicated to them for reviewing.
