I only own my OC, Taylor, I do not own Tess, Bentley, or any of the Coraline characters.
Outside some woods, there was nothing, but then a portal opened, and out came Taylor Fearbrave, and on her shoulder, an ottsel named Tess. Taylor soon went towards a hill, and saw a sign, it read "Pink Palace apartments". Taylor looks up ahead, and saw a pink house, and on top of it a blue man with a strange attire was exercising on the roof. Taylor soon sees a grey Punch Buggy with stuff tied on top of it, and near it was a big truck, as if someone is moving in. The Punch Buggy honked its horn, this caused the man to lose his concentration, and he walked off toward the back of the house and jumped. Taylor soon heard a man from the truck saying, "We're here! Time to muscle up."
Taylor's goggles soon vibrated, she put them on, her face was on the right lens, and a turtle named Bentley was on the left lens, Taylor soon said, "Seems someone is moving in Bentley," she looks at some arms of a woman signing something to one of the moving men, she was about to closed the door, when he put his foot on the door, this caused the woman to open it and he put his hand out, as if asking for a tip. She gave him one, which was just one dollar, and he groans in disappointment. Taylor soon then said, "But whoever's moving is a lousy tipper."
Taylor soon heard a door creaking open, she looked, and saw coming out of the door was girl with blue hair wearing a yellow raincoat and a red satchel. Bentley soon said, "That must be the girl that resemble the doll the Beldam made, I say you follow her, maybe you can help her out."
"Okay, we will," Taylor replied. She soon took off her goggles, then tapped the top of the diamond on her staff, and went invisible. She sees the girl went to a bush, took out a branch that was Y shaped, then moved it around, while closing her eyes, until she felt something, and ran to the stone area pointing the branch at the direction. Taylor was about to follow her, when a black cat got in her way, she soon was visible, and stopped in front of the cat, who was shocked when it saw her. Taylor soon said, "Sorry little guy, I just want to follow the girl." The cat then nodded in agreement, and went off, following the girl, Taylor followed her as well, up a hill, until Taylor soon sees the Pink Palace, and said, "My what a lovely view, I wonder I can see my house from here as well." Tess giggled to Taylor's joke, and Taylor soon sees the cat looking down at the blue haired girl, and saw Taylor as well, who waved at it, until some pebbles fell off from the cat and it got out of sight, the girl looked up to where the cat was and saw just some rocks.
"Hello?" asked the girl, she paused, and then asked, "Who's there?" She soon glared, and threw the rock at the other rocks.
This caused the cat to screech in pain, and the girl to gasp, and soon ran up the hill. Taylor soon said, "Well that wasn't nice." She soon ran to chase after her, while seeing the cat on a rock glaring at the blue haired girl, then looked at Taylor chasing after her.
The blue haired girl soon stopped running, and went to a circle of mushrooms, panting from running, but then heard a twig snapped, and gasped. Taylor soon saw the cat going on a stump, then meowed, causing the girl to scream. She soon looked at the cat with a glare, and said, "You scared me to death, you mangy thing." The girl took off her satchel, then said to the cat, "I'm just looking for an old well. Know it?" The cat was glaring at her, and she asked, "Not talking huh?" She moved branch, then chanted, "Magic dowser, magic dowser..." The wind was then blowing, and she said, "Show me the well!" Then both girls jumped by the sound of an airhorn, they both turned, and saw someone on a bike and a strange mask, and thunder and lighting clapped when he reared the front wheel up to perform a wheelie, and revved up an engine. The girls gasped, and then screamed as the biker was approaching her, and yelled swinging the branch, "Get away from me!"
Taylor then ran in front of the girl, and tried to swung her staff at the biker, which she missed, and the biker took the branch from the girl, got off his bike, jumped onto the stump, and moved what looked like lenses, he threw his head up, to reveal a boy, and he said, "Ooh. Let me guess for the blue haired one. You're from Texas or Utah. Someplace dried-out or barren, right?" While he was talking he moved a stick in his hand, and then said, "I heard about water witching before, but it doesn't make sense." The girls gave the boy a bored and annoyed look. He continued to look at the branch and said, "I mean, it's just an ordinary branch."
The girl then had enough, and said, "It's a dowsing rod." She soon hit the boy, causing his mask to fall on his face with him saying ow, and she took back the branch, and said, "And I don't like being stalked, not by weird girls with their rats, psycho nerds or their cats!"
Tess was angry, and said, "Hey I'm not a rat, I'm an ottsel!"
This surprised both the girl and the boy, the girl then said, "It talks!"
"Uh oh, we're busted, way to go Tess," Taylor said.
The boy soon shook his head said to the girl, "Despite this shocking discovery, but back to about what you said, he's not really my cat. He's kind of feral. You know wild." He knelt down and pet the cat's head, and continued, "Of course I do feed him every night, and sometimes he'll come to my window bring me little dead things."
The girl soon said, "Look, I'm from Pontiac."
"Huh?" the boy asked.
"Michigan," the girl replied, paused, and then said, "And if I'm a water witch, then where's the secret well?" While the girl asked she stomped her boot.
The boy replied, "You stomp too had and you'll fall in it." The girl yelped, and jumped stepped back outside the circle of mushrooms. The boy soon dug into the dirt, until he showed the girls something wooden, and asked, "See?" He then knocked on the wooden thing, and a sound came as if it was hollow, then said, "Suppose to be so deep, if you fell to the bottom and looked up, you'd see a sky full of stars in the middle of the day." The boy grabbed a big branch, put an end of it near the wooden thing, then with the help of a rock, lifted the wooden thing to reveal a wooden lid. The girl laughed a bit, then the boy looked at the house, and said, "Surprise she let you move in." He then looked at the girls, and said, "My gramma, she owns the Pink Palace. Won't rent to people with kids."
Taylor knew it might be due to the Beldam, but the other girl asked, "What do you mean?"
He stammered a bit, and said, "I'm not supposed to talk about it." He then extended his hand, and said, "I'm Wybie. Wybie Lovat."
The girl extended her hand and they shook, and the girl asked, "Wybie?"
"Short for Wyborne," the boy Wyborne "Wybie" Lovat replied, and while the girl wipes the mud off her hand, as Wybie continued, "Not my idea, of course." He turned at the girls, and said, "What'd you two get saddled with?"
Taylor replied, "I'm Taylor. Taylor Fearbrave." Taylor then gestured to Wybie and the girl her friend on her shoulder, and said, "And this is Tess."
"Hello," Tess said, waving.
The girl waved at the two and said, "Nice to meet you two," she then looked at Wybie, and said, "I wasn't saddled with anything. It's Coraline."
"Caroline what?" Wybie asked, while looking at the cat.
"Coraline. Coraline Jones," the girl, Coraline Jones replied.
Wybie scoffed, and said, while following the cat, "It's not real scientific, but I heard an ordinary name like Caroline can lead people to have ordinary expectations about a person."
He soon pet the cat, while Coraline growled, until the group heard someone yelled out, "Wyborne!" Coraline looked, and the cat opened its eyes in shock.
"I think I heard someone calling you, Wyborne," Coraline said, glaring at him.
"What?" Wybie replied, standing up and letting the cat fall on its back, and then said, "I didn't hear anything."
"Oh I definitely heard someone, Why-Were-You-Born," Coraline replied back, still glaring, approaching Wybie.
The voice called again, "Wyborne!"
"Grandma!" Wybie said in a scared tone, he then chuckled uncomfortably, while Coraline still glares at him, squinting her eyes, he then scratched the back of his head, and said while grabbing his bike and helmet, "Well, great to meet a magical water witch, a strange girl, and an ottsel," he looked at Coraline holding the dowsing rod, and then continued, "but I'd wear gloves next time."
"Why?" Coraline asked with an annoying tone.
"'Cause that dowsing rod of yours, um it's poison oak," Wybie replied, causing Coraline to exclaim and drop the branch, which was poison oak.
Wybie smirked, then shook his head to cover his face about to leave, when Taylor got in front of him, and said, "Hold it right there Wyborne, before you go to your grandmother, I just want you to keep mostly Tess talking a secret, I don't want anyone getting the wrong idea, just call her a ferret, understand?" Wybie nodded, and drove off, while Coraline wiping her hands with her coat blew the boy a raspberry, then glared at the cat, who shook his head, and walked away, following Wybie. Taylor looked a Coraline, and said, "Look, we're sorry if we stalked you, but there is one thing, you think your parents wouldn't mind if we crash in your home, we do need some place to stay for a while," she paused looked up in the sky, and said, "especially since it looks like it's going to rain." Coraline thought, nodded in agreement, she then looked at the well again, looked at the little hole with her eye dropped some mud into the hole, and put her ear on the lid, and after a while, heard a splash. Suddenly they saw some raindrops, and Taylor said, "I knew it was going to rain, let's head back quickly before we get drenched."
Coraline nodded in agreement, and ran down the hill, and went into the house.
