Coraline 2: Beldams Revenge

Returning To the Pink Palace

Mavis sighed as she read her book. She's been in the car with her mother for a countless amount of hours, driving to their new home. She was born in Michigan, but her mother, Coraline, told her they had to move to Oregon. "Mom?" Mavis closed her book and looked at her mother. 

"Yes?" Coraline looked at her daughter. Looking at Mavis reminded her of when she was a child, she looked at if she would have been her twin. 

"Why are we moving to Oregon again?" 

"Well, when I was your age I lived in an apartment complex called The Pink Palace. Stuff happened there that made your grandma and grandpa pack everything and move us back to Michigan. One of my old neighbors, Miss Spink, called and told me her sister Miss Forcible died. She wanted some help for a couple of months since I'm the only person she really contacts anymore, so we're moving back into my old complex." 

"Will I enjoy it?" Mavis looked at her mother. 

"I imagine so. There's a lot of land, it's a beautiful home. You're even getting my old room," Coraline smiled. "It's right up the road actually. You can see it from here." Mavis smiled and excitedly looked ahead she could see the large, pink building. 

She sat back in her seat as her mother began to pull into the driveway of the apartments. She could see an old lady with bright pink curly hair, and thick blue eye shadow. "Is that Miss Spink?" 

"Yes." Coraline parked her car and Mavis got out. 

"Oh Caroline! You're still so young after all these years!" Miss Spink grew a large, excited smile. Coraline got out of her car and laughed,

"No Miss Spink, I'm Coraline. That's my daughter Mavis." 

"Oh! Hello dear, I'm Miss April Spink! You look exactly like your mother." 

"Hello Miss Spink." Mavis smiled.

"Mavis," Coraline gave her a key then pointed to their new home. "Go ahead, go inside, and look around. I'm going to stay outside and talk with Miss Spink." 

"Okay mom." Mavis took the key and ran to the door. She unlocked it, then ran inside. She walked around every room smiling. She found the home beautiful already. When walking around downstairs she looked around again, and something immediately caught her attention. It was wallpaper, but looked like a door was behind it. Mavis sat down on the floor in front of it, and slid her index finger across the lines of the wall paper.

"Mavis?" Coraline yelled. 

"In here mom!" She responded still staring at the door. Coraline walked in the room and when she saw Mavis at the door, she froze. She felt like everything began rushing around her. All she could see in her mind was her when she was fifteen, and Wybie, fighting the hand of the Beldam. 

"Mavis, get away from there." 

"Mom I think there's a door behind here. Can we open it?" Mavis smiled and stood with excitement. 

"Absolutely not." Coraline shook her head. Her daughter grew a frown. 

"But why not?"

"It doesn't matter." Coraline walked over and put her hands on her daughter's shoulders. "Mavis, I want you to promise me something." 

"What is it mom?" Fright and worry grew in her eyes. 

"You promise me right now you will not go near that door. You will not mess with the wallpaper in front of it. And you will not, not ever, open that door. Do you understand me?"

"So it is a door?" Mavis grinned. 

"Mavis. This isn't a joke. Promise me." 

"Okay mom, yes I promise." Mavis frowned a little. Coraline kissed her forehead. 

"Thank you. I'm sorry for scaring you. I love you. I'm going to get boxes, come help." Coraline walked out of the room. Mavis backed away from the door, when starting to leave the room she thought she heard a voice. She turned around and looked at the door. She wondered what happened in the past, but considering her mother's face, she knew it had to have been a haunting experience.
