Thnx u guys 4 the reviews! Just to let you guys know, Dib was knocked out by the Beldam when he was pulled through the doorway. I forgot to put it in the last chapter. Sorry! Invader Zim belongs to Johnen Vasquez. Coraline belongs to Neil Gaiman and Henry Selick. Enjoy!
Dib woke up with a bunch of sewing needles and such dangling right above him. He tried to get away, but couldn't move. He realized that he was strapped down to a sewing table of some sort. Dib turned his head to see Gir strapped to one as well.
"Thank you for freeing me, Dib. That's very kind of you." Said an unfamiliar voice. Just then, a strange woman walked in, but she was different from most women. She had eight legs instead of two, looking like she had been mauled by a bear, with one hand missing along with most of her skin, and instead of normal, human eyes, she had two, large, black buttons.
"Who are you, creep? What do you want with me?" Dib was getting freaked out.
"Why, I'm nothing more than a dear friend."
"Then why am I strapped to a table?" He struggled to get free.
"Because I want you to be part of our family. Would you like to meet them?"
"YES!" Gir loved meeting new people.
"If it means I'm free, then yeah, I guess." The woman released Dib and Gir, and lead them downstairs.
Meanwhile...
"Guys, where are you?" Holly was the first to notice Dib and Gir were missing, and she told Coraline and Zim.
"Are you sure their not at the well? Or maybe at Spink and Forcible's?"
"Jonesy, I asked them, Bobinsky, even Wybie, and neither of them had seen them." They were getting pretty worried about them missing-all except Zim. He was pretty glad they vanished. He was thinking about how much better life would be without them when he felt something brush up against his leg.
"AH!" Holly looked at him weird again.
"What?" Then they heard a small meow coming from the hallway. Coraline recongnized it, and went out into the hallway. Holly and Zim shared a confused look, then followed her. In the hall was a black cat with blue eyes.
"How'd you get in here, cat? Do you have any idea where our friends are?" The cat blinked, then led the trio into the living room. Coraline gasped at the sight of the key in front of the door.
"But how-? Dib, you IDIOT!" Holly slapped herself in the face as she said so.
"What?" Coraline was shocked. She turned to the cat. "How did this happen?" It nodded as if to say, well, what do you think? "She stole them, didn't she?"
"Who? The Other Mother?" Coraline turned and nodded her head at Holly. She gasped and covered her mouth.
"We have to save them." Zim didn't like the idea.
"Why should I, the AMAZING Zim, have to rescue the DIB-HUMAN?"
"Pretend it's a mission from the Tallest." That got Zim's attention.
"Alright. I'll go as well." They prepared themselves well. Holly had her special knife, Zim had some spare Irken wepons for him and Coraline to use, and Coraline had her pliers. They opened the door. The other door was farther than before, the way it was before the Beldam pounded on the locked door, pushing it toward hers. Holly turned on her flashlight, and Coraline led the way.
"You know, once again, you're all walking into her trap." Zim freaked out that the cat was talking. Holly told him to shut up, which he did.
"We have to go back. They're our friends." This time, Coraline was more determined than ever to save her friends from the Beldam's clutches.
"Well, you need another plan."
"You're right. But what should I do?" Holly thought of an idea.
"You could try to challenge her, again."
"Yes, you could."
"Hm. Ok."
Suddenly, the other door flew open, and a blue light flew over their heads, locking Coraline's door with the key. Then it grabbed Coraline's hand, and pulled her through the door. It shut and locked, leaving Zim and Holly trapped in the tunnel.
I'm sorry, I have to do another cliffhanger. And for Dib and Gir fans, sorry they have a short part in the chapter. Please read and review!
