I bet you guys are tired of this and tired of hearing this but I'll say it again. I'm sorry for updating this late... I'm a procrastinator -_- This is another Coraline POV.


Macey, Wybie, and I were placing the finishing touches on our project when my mom walked in with a plate full of cookies.

"Here are some cookies kids. I hope you enjoy them. I baked them with love!" she chirps happily as she places the plate on the table before us.

"Thanks mom!"

"It's no trouble at all Coraline. Just call me when you need something." She said before she left.

"Okay mom!"

The two each took a cookie from the plate and they took a big bite into it. I got my own and tasted it; it was delicious.

"I didn't know your mom could bake." Wybie says.

"Yeah, I didn't know either..." I replied. That was rather peculiar really and the fact that my mother baked is surprising enough.

I looked at my two friends Wybie looked at me with concern in his eyes while Macey looked apprehensive and worried. I gave her a questioning look.

"Hey Macey! Is something the matter?" I asked.

She heaved a big sigh before finishing off her cookie. "Maybe we should take a walk..." her expression became calm.

"Sure"

I called out to my parents that we're going out. We took our coats and headed towards the door. Wybie brought the plate of cookies. We walked a good distance before someone spoke up.

"Cookie?" Wybie offered.

"No thanks." we said simultaneously.

"More for me then!"

"Alright Macey, What's up? I asked.

She started to look worried once again. She closed her eyes and sighed before proceeding.

"I'm just a little suspicious." She admitted.

"Suspicious? of what?" I asked.

"Your house... Look, I haven't told this to anyone but I think I must tell you I first moved into this neighborhood I did a little exploring. I sneaked into the empty flat of the pink palace. I heard a few mice; I didn't know why but I was drawn to follow them. They lead me to the drawing room and I saw this doll and it looked like me. Except for the button eyes that is..."

"What did you do?" Wybie asked her.

"Well, I'm a coward so I freaked out and rushed towards the door. I could've sworn that the doll move before I left."

"What are you saying? My house is haunted? And why is it that you got so anxious when you saw my mom? Are you going to be like the other now? Are you going to call me freak?" I flamed up at her. I didn't know why but I did.

"N-no, I'm just saying you must be careful..." she said.

Everything then went quiet. Macey broke the silence.

"Sorry Coraline. I have to go home now." She then walked away. Great, I feel sorry now... Maybe I shouldn't have done that.

"She might be right you know... You do remember the-"

"Yes Wybie, I remembered but she's not coming back. I'm sure of it."

"Whatever you say Coraline. I'll see you tomorrow." he said before he left.

I seated myself on a fallen log. It's impossible to happened. The beldam is stuck there forever. She can't get out; Macey and Wybie are just being paranoid. I then felt soft fur brush against my arm. I winced a little before I saw who it is.

"Cat!"

He glared at me right before he bit a part of my shirt and pulled.

"Okay! Okay! I'll follow you!" he then ran through the woods. He was fast and I could barely keep up but I did. He led me back to my house and into the kitchen. He pointed towards a drawer.

I walked towards it and opened the old drawer. I then saw it; the key that should have been rusted and resting peacefully in the old well was sitting inside the very drawer in our kitchen, in my house.


Again, sorry for the late update -_-
