Okay I know it's been like, another month since my last update *Coughs* But I still updated, and this was a big scene. Even though it's a lot like what happened in the movie I tried to make it different by adding some stuff and leaving others and yeah... Once again, thanks so much to Mohegan, Hermionewiz27, Fredd16, and Nightflame-of-Rainclaw for reviewing, I really appreciate it.
Disclaimer: I do not own Coraline. Or do I... (Just kidding, I wish I did)
"You've come back." The beldam stated, glaring at Coraline. She swung the key from her index finger. Coraline noticed it was the hand that got cut off before.
Coraline glared at her defiantly, clutching Cat a little too close for his comfort. She wished she could grab the key, so she could leave. But then Wybie would be left behind.
"You have the eyes?" The beldam asked, already knowing the answer, but needing to make sure. Coraline let go of Cat who leaped out of her arms, but stayed within close range.
"Yep." Coraline held out the eyes briefly, and before the beldam could snatch them away she thrust them back into her bag.
"Do you know where the boy is?"
"I-" Coraline faltered, not sure of what to say "Behind the door…?"
The beldam grinned evilly "No, Coraline. You lose."
"Can't you- you need to prove he isn't behind the door!" Coraline objected, picking Cat up again, to his dismay. He could tell what was coming up next.
"Do I? Or are you having trouble accepting the fact you've lost?" The beldam sneered "I think black would be a nice color for your buttons. Maybe blue…"
"You have to be fair!" Coraline countered, trying not to shudder.
"How do we know Wybie isn't behind the door as we speak?" Cat added.
The beldam sneered "I'm not opening that door. None of you will see it open ever again, especially you Coraline. That vermin has a slight chance of getting out."
Coraline took a deep breath. When it looked like she was about to say something she threw Cat at the beldam's head.
Cat clawed blindly, until he got one button off and safely in his teeth. One more to go. It was much harder than he thought it would be.
Coraline raced up to the beldam who was trying to swat Cat off her head desperately, and grabbed the key.
She jammed the key into the door and swung it open.
She was wrong. I'm looking at the door open right now. Coraline thought. It gave her more hope.
She crawled in and was about to slam the door shut when she remembered Cat. She looked at him expectantly.
"Go!" He yelled, muffled by the button in his mouth.
"Why do you need both?" Coraline shouted over the beldam's screaming "Wybie could only be in one of them!"
"How do you know he's in this one?" Cat pointed out and then yelled "Just go!" He continued to claw at the button.
The beldam turned around to the sound of Coraline's voice, ignoring the Cat clawing away at her remaining eye. The eye she had left glared at Coraline, and the beldam loped towards the door.
Coraline shut the door and scrambled through the passage way until she finally got to the end and locked the door on her side, feeling awful about leaving Cat behind.
All I have to say is review please! Thanks again to the people who actually do review...
