Okay, here's chapter 10, I'm seriously going to try to update faster, but reviewing helps : ) Thanks to Coraline Pevensie and Hermionewiz27 for reviewing, and I hope you like this chapter!

Disclaimer: I do not own Coraline. Now I'm sad.


Coraline put her hand in her pocket and pulled out a button. Or at least what was left of a button.

It must have broken on her way through the door. She wondered if that was good or bad.

She fumbled in her bag for the key and looked at it hesitantly. Could Cat get out of the otherworld some other way and bring Wybie? But what if the beldam could get through the door?

Eventually it was the fear of the beldam being able to have access to her world that made her jam the key into the lock and turn it.

Then she looked at the key again. The well obviously wasn't good enough. Should she try to burn it? Throw it out? Flush it down the toilet? Crush it with a rock? Coraline frowned. She would just… keep it safe until Cat and Wybie got out. Then she would do something with it. She pocketed the key.

She stood up and realized she was shaking. Then she noticed that it the sun was starting to rise. "How long was I in there?" She whispered. It must have only been a couple of hours, but it felt much longer than that.

Now that she wasn't frantically trying to find the eyes she realized another thing; she was exhausted. She climbed onto the couch to find that she couldn't sleep. She got up again. She could watch TV. Or read a book. Or do something.

She glanced at the clock. It was 6:37 AM. Her dad would wake up in about half an hour. She usually slept in until around 9:00 AM on weekends, but she would just have to think of some excuse.

She turned the TV on. It was some random cartoon. She turned it down all the way.

"Cat probably lost the fight. He's probably in mirror right now. With buttons on his eyes." She thought shivering, "And Wybie too, what am I going to tell his grandma?"

She glanced at the door. Maybe she should go back… yeah, she could help!

She grabbed the key and was about to unlock the door, then she heard something. She strained her ears. It sounded like Wybie's grandma was yelling at someone.

Coraline thought of something. Maybe Wybie's grandma was yelling at Wybie, that would explain why the button broke, didn't her parent's snow globe break when they got out.

She turned the TV off and slowly got up. She could just run over to his house to check. It wasn't that early. She ran out the door and went in the direction of his house, listing to his grandma yelling: "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN, DO YOU REALIZE HOW LONG YOU WHERE GONE, MR?"

It definitely sounded like she was talking to Wybie. Coraline got to his house and looked through the window.

Wybie was sheepishly looking at the rug and trying to explain himself while his grandma was sitting on the couch yelling at him. Then Wybie's grandma stood up and hugged him.

Feeling like she was intruding on a moment Coraline walked back towards her house, silently cheering. Wybie was back, so Cat must have gotten out somehow. Either that or she had gotten Wybie out and Cat was still in the other world risking his life over a button that didn't matter.

She really hoped it was the first explanation.


Cat paced the mirror. The beldam had finally managed to pull him off her face, and practically threw him in here.

He hoped Coraline had gotten the right eye and that Wybie was back in his own world. Cat also hoped that they didn't come back, he would be able to figure out a way to escape and once he did he didn't want to have to rescue Coraline and Wybie all over again.


Wybie was confused. One second the beldam was falling on him from the ceiling the next he was walking through the front door of his house and his grandma was screaming at him, then hugging him.

He didn't know what happened. But he was glad he wasn't in the other world.


Well, I don't really have anything to say so review please : )
