After the incident with the door the first day Mavis got there she never touched it or went by it but she wondered about it a lot, like why was her mother so terrified of it and what could be so bad about the door being opened. Shrugging the though off she went to find her mother, walking down the poorly decorated hallway Mavis heard her mothers voice from the study.

She sounded highly agitated, so she figured her mom was on the phone with her dad again; talking about the money he failed to give her after the divorce, having that thought in her mind she turned around sighing and went to her room. It was already 11:03 at night so Mavis just figured she would sleep.

One thing she noticed when we woke up is that it was nighttime but there was a strange haze, like when your not fully awake. Mavis blinked trying to sleep out of her eyes when she heard a faint meow come from her window. Glancing up, she caught a silhouette of a cat, sitting there staring at her.
"Hi kitty." She spoke as she walked towards the window, the cat meowed once more and scratched the window.

Reaching were the cat was she pried the window open and let the cat in; it hopped unto her floor and swirled around her feet. Mavis scratched the back of it's head and it purred appreciatively " Whats your name?" she thought out loud while looking for a name tag on the cat.

"I don't have one, friend." Mavis jerked up eyes wide with fright 

"Who said that?" 

"I did Mavis." She looked down to see the cat, staring at her tilting it's head.

"How do you know my name?"

The black cat chuckled, "I have approximate knowledge of many things, and speaking of that I have came here to warn about this house and that door. As your mother said, do not try and open it. It will only lead to evil." He just stared back at Mavis's confused face. 

"But why? What is so bad behind it that it is 'Evil'?"  The cat sighed,

"I can't tell you, but just listen to your mother." He finished sternly and hopped out the window.

"Okay I guess," She tried to quietly shove the wooden frame down but failed.

The window came down with a loud thud, she stood there frozen squinting her eyes shut listening for footsteps or any sign of her mother being awake but heard none. Letting out her breath she was holding in her and looked up at the window. A scream ripped out of her mouth at what she saw in the reflection, her mother was standing behind her. But she had no eyes...only buttons.

Mavis' eyes jerked open and she started thrashing around, only to realize that she was on her bed and it was only a dream. She unwrapped herself from her blankets and laughed half heartily, still shaken from the nightmare. Deciding she should spend a little while out of the house, she decided to take a walk. Heading for the door her mom stops her, "And where do you think you're going?" She turned and looked at her mom.

"For  a walk, didn't know it was against the law here also." She huffed

"Watch the attitude and I was going to let you go. I just wanted to know where you were going and what you were doing." Coraline laid her newspaper down and stared at Mavis.

"Can I go now?" Mavis folded her arms, Her mother nodded. 

"Oh, and while you're out if you happen to find a well, stay away from it." The only answer she got in return was a door slamming and she laughed, Mavis reminded her way to much of herself in her younger years.

Stomping her way down a rocky path she started to go downhill, leading to a small group of apple trees and buckets of them. Mavis walked over to one of the buckets and grabbed a ripe red apple "Who are you?" She turned around abruptly, dropping the apple in the process.

"Sorry I didn't know anyone was down here! Please don't hurt me." The man laughed, 

"Why would I hurt you? My name is Wyborn, but you can call me Wybie."
