She was a little girl, a peaceful one that had turned into an evil monster; an evil Witch.

Jenny woke up from the dreaded nightmare. She got up, she was still wearing buttoned-eyes and was in her same clothing. Jenny looked around her surroundings, there was a little girl under a big shadow. She looked up at Jenny and Jenny saw that she'd buttoned-eyes also.

"She forced me to wear this, forced me to!" The little girl yelped. Jenny soon realized that this was the Beldam's backstory. Jenny saw the shadowy figure grow bigger and darker. A women with buttoned-eyes looked at Jenny.

"It was for her own good, Jenny. For her own good!" The Lady shouted. Soon, Jenny realizes that this isn't Coraline. The Lady doesn't look like her at all. The Beldam lied about the future, about Coraline being her mother, about everything. Jenny closes her eyes and sees all of the backstory of The Beldam, how her Mother was abusive. How The Beldam just wanted to rage at the children, how The Beldam got her buttoned-eyes. Everything comes back to Jenny, and she also realized that her real mother is The Beldam! Jenny falls back into reality, were war is going to happen.


It was dark, cold, and wet. I got back up, and stretched. I yelled in pain, because almost all of my bones were broken and sore. I opened my buttoned-eyes to clearly see that I was in the same room I saw the ghosts. Except, I didn't see any ghosts at all, just dark nonsense around me. Nothing was making any sense to me, why didn't The Beldam eat me? I had so many questions in mind, it was almost as if I was ready to explode from all of it. Then there was a quiet, vague shriek near the bed. All of a sudden, Wybie's great aunt's ghost appeared and she was smaller than before. I walked towards the bed, but I didn't see the other ghosts.

"The other ghosts died, they all died except for me. I'll die soon." The ghost whispered.

"I... I won't let you die, I can get you out of this," I replied. "can't I get you out of here?"

"You can't, it just won't work. No matter how you try, I hope my nephew is doing alright..." The ghost said. It was Wybie she was worried about, I remembered I had to save him before The Beldam gets him.

"You can do it, you have to save Wybie and Jenny. Jenny already knows who The Beldam is, because she's her daughter. Wybie is very quick and smart. You, on the other hand, have a very special power with the buttoned-eyes, but you need power from eating children." The ghost explains. I widened by eyes, now everything was making sense to me. I have to save all of us to weaken The Beldam's power. Otherwise she'll rule the real world.

"Eat me," The ghost interrupts.

"What? No, I won't do that!" I responded.

"Eat me, it's you're only choice." The ghost repeated. I look at her saddened expression, the tears coming from her buttoned-eyes.

"How, how do I eat you?" I asked. But then the ghost floated towards into my soul, I was then recharged. I felt power surging through me, I didn't feel evil, I felt good. I knew what needed to be done and stopped. I got up onto the bed, and layed there to fall asleep.

Jenny looked at Wybie, she clenched her teeth.

"She's my mother, The Beldam is my real mother." Jenny claims. Wybie shoots a look at her.

"Wait, what? So Coraline's your grandmother?" Wybie questions.

"No! Coraline isn't really The Beldam's mother. The Beldam was just lying to keep us all in an unbalanced pace to stop her." explains Jenny.

Jenny and Wybie then look at the tiny circular circus tent. It was full of rats, disgusting little rodents. Jenny shrieked in horror, they were everywhere in the roof. Then, the biggest rat of all, no. A human rat, began to curl up. It was a horrifying image.

"You there, the little girl with the buttoned-eyes," The Human Rat shouted.

"You mustn't tell anybody about The Boss' plan, or else you die!" The Human Rat roared and leaped for Jenny and Wybie.

"Look out!" Wybie screamed. Jenny ducked and Wybie got smacked. Luckily, he was okay; and so was Jenny.

"You fools cannot escape my wrath of rodents," The Human Rat shrieked. He then leaped forward again towards Jenny and Wybie. They both ran for cover and The Human Rat was soaring towards outdoors. The Human Rat screamed as he flew off into the ground with lots of momentum to stumble upon him once he hits the ground.

"That was close, we need to find Coraline. Before it's too late," Jenny said.


The Beldam crunched the carmel coakroach. It was delicious to her, but repulsive to all the others. She looked at the door to the overworld. Soon, I will come through there to take all the children I need... The Beldam thought. Maybe I can get Coraline to help... that's a great idea. The Beldam considered. She got up on her legs, and walked to the kitchen. The Beldam heard a noise from the hallway, she followed it. It was through the mirror, The Beldam slowly walked towards the mirror. Then threw her arms in the mirror. I screamed as The Beldam grabbed me, and I was frightened at the scene. The Beldam managed to pull me out of the mirror, and picked me up.

"Yes... now that I have you in my hands. I can now start my plan," The Beldam said. She threw me perfectly onto a couch. My heart was pounding fast now that The Beldam has me in her control. I'm paralyzed with fear. My palms are really sweaty. The Beldam slowly walked towards me, things were about to escalate.

"Wh... what do you want from me!?" I yelled, in a weak tone.

"So many things, revenge, help, even more I can't list" The Beldam replied.

"Wait, you need help from me? But why? You hate me, you'd rather choke me to death," I asked.

"Yes, that is an option, but that isn't necessary right now. I need you to help me obtain all the children in the world, for me and you to eat," The Beldam said.

"EAT!? I'm not going to become you! I'm a child myself!" I shouted.

"Yes, but now that you finally have buttoned-eyes, you've the chance to become like me..." The Beldam snickered.
