Coraline woke in a panic, looking around her room a dream it was all just a dream, a nightmare more like it, but she knew it was real because she had lived it the same nightmare every night, replaying over and over

She stretched  as she got out of bed and descended into the kitchen. "Morning, Mom. Morning, Dad," she mumbled, her voice heavy with sleep.

Her mother, had prepared pancakes, accompanied by  her favorite Mango Milkshake. Suddenly, a pair of arms enveloped her, and a high-pitched voice shouted, "Booo!" Coraline turned to face her nine-year-old sister, Cora, clutching her cherished blue blanket.

"Morning Coraline, did I scare you?"

Cora's vibrant purple hair and outgoing personality made her the opposite of Coraline, and unmistakably, the apple of their parents' eye. The normal child they wish they had.

"Coraline, I believe your sister asked you a question," their mother reminded, gently.

Coraline rolled her eyes, irritably as she sat down at the kitchen table. "Good morning, Cora..no you didn't scare me..." she muttered as Cora followed her to the table

Coraline watched as Cora mimicked Coraline's every move, seated beside her.

"Mom, tell her to stop!" Coraline exclaimed.

"she only wants to be like you sweetie just give her some love and attention too..." Mother muttered as Coraline scoffed loudly throwing her plate to one side and storming out of the room, Her mother always stuck up for her sister and never her. Part of her envied her sister wishing she was treated like that at her age.

Just then the Crystal Ball Cuts off.

A sly chuckle escaped the beldams lips. "Ah, Coraline has a sister... How delightful."

She turned and slowly walked towards her dusty worktable, the Beldam threaded her needle, beginning to craft a doll with unsettling precision. Each stitch, each button, each strand of purple hair was meticulously applied. The doll's smile and freckles eerily mirrored Cora's.

"Perfect," the Other Mother hissed, her eyes glinting with Malice as she lifted the doll up and sent it out of the window to find its way to Coraline's Sister.

She was weak she didn't have alot of magic left but soon she would, and this time she would not fail
