I only own my OC, Taylor, I do not own Tess, or any of the Coraline characters.
Coraline looked down and said, "I... I'll try." Soon Tess sees some arms slowly moving at Coraline from behind. She sees them and gasped, as they grabbed her, covering her mouth, and pulled her with Tess out of the room, and out of the mirror. Coraline grunted as she shook off whoever is holding her, until she got the person off, and saw the person on a chicken mask she removed it, and she asked to her surprise, "Wybie?" Coraline sees him cringing, she removed his hands, and gasped as she sees some thread on the corners of his mouth forcing him to smile. She asked, "Did she do this to you?" He nodded a bit, Coraline soon undid the thread, making the Other Wybie no longer forced to smile, he soon felt a bit better, as Coralin said, "I hope that feels..."
"Shh!" the Other Wybie shushed Coraline, then grabbed her, and guided her to the living room. The both soon pushed the dresser and tipped it over, leaving the door unblocked.
"Coraline? Is that you?" the Beldam asked.
"Let's go!" Coraline said, she soon opened the door, and sees the tunnel, which was covered with toys and other things covered with webs.
"Coraline!" the Beldam called, as the tunnel began to shake.
"Come on! She'll hurt you again," Coraline said, the Other Wybie shook his head, took off his glove to reveal his hand, which he blew at, and it turned to dust.
Coraline was shocked, but then heard the Beldam call, "Coraline!" It was louder, as she was approaching, as she yells, "How dare you disobey your mother!"
The Other Wybie soon grabbed Coraline pushed her into the tunnel with Tess, and closed the door, while Coraline gasped. She soon heard the Beldam called her name again, and she soon crawled through the tunnel, opened the door, closed it and locked it, and yelled, "I'm home!" Coraline soon asked while wiping the webs off her, "Anybody here?" She called upstairs, "Hello? Hello, hello!" She went to Charlie's study, and asked, "Real Dad?" She looked at the study and it was deserted, then asked, "Real Mom?" She soon then called, "Taylor!"
Taylor soon took off her goggles ran down stairs, and said, "Oh, thank goodness Coraline!" She soon hugs her friend, playing along so Coraline won't arouse suspicion.
Coraline was happy too, and so was Tess, until she smelled something, and said, "Something really stinks here."
Coraline looked, and said, "Oh, Mom's groceries!" Coraline went into the kitchen, and found a paper bag, tipped it over, and causing her to say, "Ugh!" She and the others were disgusted as the food was spoiled and flies buzzed around it. "That's disgusting," Coraline said.
"Now I know where the smell came from," Tess said.
The girls soon heard a doorbell, this caused Coraline to smile, and walked toward it, and said, "I missed you guys so much, you'll never..." She soon opened the door, and saw the real Wybie was at the door, and she said in disbelief, "Oh. The Wybie that talks."
"Huh?" Wybie asked, then chuckles, and asked, "Yeah, so, you know that old doll I gave you?" He paused, then said, "Um... My grandma's real mad." He was rubbing the back of his neck, and said, "Says it was her sister's. The on that disappeared."
"You stole that doll, didn't you?" Coraline asked with a glare.
Wybie soon replied, "Well, it looked just like you, and I figured..."
Coraline interrupted him and said, "It used to look like this pioneer girl, then Huck Finn Jr., then it was this Little Rascals chick with all these ribbons and braids and..." Coraline paused, then she realized, and said, "Grandma's missing sister." She turned to Wybie, and said, "I think I just met her. Come on."
She soon grabbed Wybie, and took him into the house, with Taylor and Tess following her. Wybie soon said, "Listen, I'm really not supposed to... Whoa!"
Coraline soon let's go of Wybie, walked towards the door, and said, pointing at it, "She's in there."
Wybie kneels at the door, and asked, "Can you... Can you unlock it?"
He was about to reach for the key, when Coraline grabbed his hand, and replied, "Not in a million years. But it wouldn't matter. She can't escape without her eyes," she paused, and said, "None of the ghosts can."
Wybie exclaims in disbelief, Taylor and Tess knew that he doesn't believe Coraline, as he said while he tumbles out of Coraline's grip, "Yeah. So, I really need that doll."
"Great! I'd love to get rid of it," Coraline replied, while dragging Wybie, with Taylor and Tess behind her. She soon went into her room, but noticed the Coraline doll was gone, and asked, "Where are you hiding, you little monster?"
"You and Grandma been talking?" Wybie asked.
"The doll's her spy," Coraline replied as Wybie, Taylor and Tess were looking at her, rummaging into her stuff, as she continued to talk, "It's how she watches you, finds out what's wrong with your life."
"The doll is my grandma's spy?" Wybie asked.
"No. The other mother," Coraline replied, while still searching for the doll, and still talking, "She's got this world where everything's better. The food, the garden," she then turns to Wybie, and then said while approaching him, "the neighbor. But it's all a trap."
Wybie gulped, and said, "Yeah, I think I heard someone calling me, Jonsey."
"Don't believe me? You can ask your cat," Coraline said.
"The cat?" Wybie asked, he just soon left the room, and said, "I'll just tell Grandma that you couldn't find the doll." Taylor and Tess see Coraline took a shoe, and threw it at Wybie, and he said, "Ow!"
"You're not listening to me!" Coraline said.
"That's 'cause you're crazy!" Wybie replied, but screamed as Coraline threw the other shoe, while Coraline chases him while screaming in frustration, while Taylor and Tess went after them as well.
Wybie soon got outside, panting, and running towards his bike, while Coraline yelled, "You creep!"
"Crazy!" Wybie replied, as he got on his bike, and pedaled back to his home.
Coraline slipped, and asked, "Crazy?" She soon yells at Wybie as he rides off, "You're the jerk wad that gave me the doll!" She soon looked at Taylor and Tess, and asked, "You two don't think I'm crazy, right?"
"No, but of what we faced, you might think we'd be crazy," Taylor replied.
"What?" Coraline asked, looking a bit confused.
"I'll explain later," Taylor replied back.
Coraline soon sees her parent's Punch Buggy, and yelled, "Mom! Dad!" She looked, but saw the car was deserted, but saw Mel's phone, she soon called Charlie, and said, "Pick it up, Dad. Pick it up."
"Hi!" Charlie answered.
Coraline said, "Dad! Where..."
However, she stopped when she found out it was a recorded message, as it continued, "I'm digging in my garden right now, but leave a message and I'll get right back to you."
Coraline flipped the phone, and asked, "Where have you gone?"
Taylor soon thought, and said, "Maybe Miss Spink and Miss Forcible might help."
Coraline soon thought, then agreed, and the girls went to the apartment of Spink and Forcible, and they see that Miss Spink was making an angel costume for one of the dogs. Coraline soon asked Miss Spink, "Uh... Don't you only make wings for the dead ones?"
"Just looking ahead, dears," Miss Spink replied, as she continues knitting, and said, "Angus hasn't been feeling very well of late."
"April? Aren't you getting ready?" Miss Forcible asked.
"We've lost our ride, Miriam," Miss Spink replied, paused and then said, "Caroline says her parents have vanished quite completely."
"What?" Miss Forcible asked while being behind a changing divider, then used some machines to remove her wig, and said, "We've waited months for those tickets." She soon left the changing divider, and walked towards Miss Spink.
"Well, I suppose we could walk," Miss Spink said.
"With your gammy legs?" Miss Forcible asked, and then said, "It's nearly to miles to the theater."
Coraline soon clears her throat, the two stopped bickering, and Miss Spink said, "Oh, yes. Your missing parents." Miss Forcible opened a box, which had some more taffy, as Miss Spink continued, "We know just what you need." Miss Forcible took a glass of taffy dated 1921, as Miss Spink said, "Miriam, get..." She noticed she got the glass, and Miss Spink said, "That's right."
Miss Forcible soon puts the glass on the coffee table, and Coraline asked with a glare, "How is 100-year-old candy gonna help?"
Coraline soon noticed, that Miss Spink had her knitting needles and screamed, causing the other girls to scream as well, as Miss Spink use the needles on the taffy until it is all dust, then Miss Forcible looked at it, and blew the dust way, then Miss Spink took a triangular object in the middle, by using the needles as tongs, and said, "There you go, sweetie."
Coraline took the object, and asked, "What's it for?"
"Well, it might help," Miss Spink replied, as Coraline looks through the hole, as Miss Spink continued, "They're good for bad things sometimes."
"No. They're good for lost thing," Miss Forcible said.
"It's bad things, Miriam," Miss Spink said.
"Lost things, April," Miss Forcible said.
"I suggest we leave, for they're going to bicker for a while," Taylor whispered, Tess and Coraline nodded in agreement, and they leave Miss Spink and Miss Forcible's apartment as the bicker.
