Shall We Dance

Part Eight

The dance had begun some hours before and everyone was completely enjoying themselves. All except Missy; who sat at one of the tables; watching Coraline and Josh with a look of slight disappointment at seeing Coraline with actual date but was still proud of having her date with Jeremy Princeton; who was the star quarterback of the high school, and to have the white and pearly pink dress; which seemed very expensive.

Coraline, on the other hand, had an extremely beautiful, glittering snow-white and sapphire blue evening gown; which went to the ground; along with silver chained diamond necklace; which belonged to her mother. Josh was dressed in a pure white and jet black suit and tie. The dance went on as everyone enjoyed the night. Just then, a sudden noise broke through the joyful evening.

"The ugly old witch is back!" Wybie screamed, suddenly bursting through the gymnasium doors.

Everyone had stopped dancing as everything went quiet. The lights to the gym came on abruptly as everyone stared at Wybie in shock. Coraline stood where she was; Josh standing beside her. After what seemed like a small eternity, the lights dimmed again and everyone began to dance again as the music began to play. Soon, Josh stepped forward.

"Um... Are you okay?" He asked, placing a hand on Wybie's shoulder.

Wybie gave him an angered look.

"Oh don't give me that," Wybie said; swiping Josh's hand off his shoulder. "I know what you're thinking," He continued. "You think I'm just making stuff up."

As Wybie continued, Josh gave him a somewhat confused look.

"Well, I don't care what you think, because I know Coraline will believe me, right Jonesy?"

"Um..." Coraline began, a bit uneasy. "Yeah, Wybie; I believe you."

Wybie smiled but frowned again.

"Okay, this is how it went," Wybie began. "I was at home when Cat began to act a little weird, so I followed him to the old well."

"You followed a cat?" Asked Josh; laughing a bit. "What kind of kid follows a cat?"

"When I got to the well," Wybie continued; ignoring Josh's remark. "The cover had been torn out of the well!"

Coraline stared at him in shock.

"When did this happen?" She asked.

"I don't know, Jonesy; but I know that it must mean the 'Other' Mother is back!" Wybie replied.

Josh chuckled.

"You mean that lady from the other world?" He asked with a smile.

"Yes, and she's out to get us!" Wybie replied.

Coraline looked at him for a moment. Soon, she spoke.

"I'm gonna go check this out." She said, finally.

"What? You're actually going along with this?" Josh asked, in disbelief.

"Wybie might be onto something, Josh," Coraline replied. "I have to go check it out."

"Coraline, you can't be serious," Josh argued. "You even said yourself that the Beldam is gone for good,"

"Josh, I have to see what's up." Coraline replied.

On that note, Coraline and Wybie made their way out the doors as Josh stood where he was; watching them with an angered look on his face.
