Chapter 10
It's Not Over
Coraline opened her eyes at the blinding light that shone above her head. The sky was a brilliant blue and waves of gold and stars twisting and dancing with each other. It was warm on the golden grass…wait…grass?
Oh great…she was dreaming.
She should have known better; she was back in the realm where she met the three ghost children, at least that's how it looked. And when she saw globes float down towards her, she felt that that's who wanting to see here. It was the three children but with them…there were three more.
Mr. Bobinski, Miss Forcible and Miss Spink…from the Other world.
Coraline's heart sank, they really did die in the end; Cora would be saddened to hear that when she told her. The six of them floated around her, the look of concern on their faces as they looked at the blue-black haired girl.
"It is good to see you again Caroline," Miss Spink stated.
Coraline nodded, "yes, likewise…I'm so sorry I couldn't save you."
Mr. Bobinski shook his now golden head, "do not vorry yourself about it Caroline."
"It is better this way, to be free from the Beldam's grasp," Miss Forcible explained.
"So…then why are you all here?"
The curly haired girl spoke up then, "girl…it is not over yet."
"…wh-what?"
"I'm afraid she's right my dear, we have come to give you a warning."
"But, Miss Spink we here! Me, Cora, both the Wybie's! What's there to warn us about?!"
Wybie's grandmother's sister touched Coraline's shoulder, "now that she knows where her daughter is, she will never let your Other's go!"
Coraline gasped, "no…"
The boy shook his head, "we are sorry miss, but it is far from being over…you must be ready…"
Coraline awoke from her dream, jumping up into a sitting position. She was back in her room now, safe in her bed, Wybie Lovat snoring on the air mattress next to her bed. It had been over a two weeks since they saved Wyb (their nickname for Other Wybie, despite the fact he hated it) and things had been going so well. Besides…it was only a dream.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Coraline let out a quick yelp at the scream that echoed through the house; even Wybie woke up and scrambled to stand up. Wybie was about to ask her what was going on, but another scream was heard.
It was coming from up in Cora and Wyb's room.
It didn't take long for the two of them to climb up the ladder and be by their bedside. The sight was needless to say, frightening. It took all their strength not to scream.
The Other Wybie was cradling the screaming Cora in his arms, her body writhing in pain. The boy was clearly suffering, but in a mental way due to seeing the girl he loved wracked in agonizing pain and not being able to do anything to make it better. The button clipped girl gripped Wyb's shoulders as she pulled herself up; this was the sight that frightened them.
Cora's mismatched eyes held tears of black blood.
It truly wasn't over…and they were not prepared for this.

It might be awhile before I update next, but I hope to do update again by the end of the week.
