Coral - Coraline's daughter

Shadows of the Corridor Part.1

Coral was restless, everything had collapsed and it was all her fault. Now she put her full trust in a ghost and she would follow him wherever she went. But I did not want to show it.

"So how are we going to destroy your Mother?"

Rudy looked around, seemed to be feeling something.

- There's something in this house. He said, staring at the ceiling.

"Of course there's something in this house." All! Monsters devouring children ... ghosts. Coral still had a good mood, but she was more nervous than they could imagine.

Amanda Spink came back with a bag and tossed it to the floor at Rudy's feet.

- That's what I got.

He looked at the bag, there was a lot of dirt in it, and soon Amanda Forcible came back with a bag of green herbs and Balt back with a bucket of water.

- What's all this for? Coral was confused and no one listened.

"We have to cast a spell by joining the elements of nature. Balt replied.

Rudy looked up again.

- There's something in this house. He said and disappeared in front of them.

Coral was scared, but the others just kept doing what they were doing. All this still seemed like a nightmare, and she could not understand anything.

"My parents are going to save Toby. Coral spoke to himself.

- I did not want. Coraline is very powerful ... "Amanda Spink said.

"But the Other Mother is more at the moment. - Amanda Forcible finished.

The three children made a circle in the middle of the room while Coral watched without understanding.

- This is our lucky day! Rudy reappeared in front of them, was holding something, Coral then noted that it was a long pointed crystal.

- The crystal of creation! The three children spoke cheerfully.

"Coral, that crystal, in the right hands, is the only weapon that can destroy the Other Mother." Rudy held out the crystal and handed Coral's trembling hands. "Keep it carefully, little doll. He laughed and winked at her. She blushed, but she hid her face quickly, the only thing that mattered now was the craziness she was in.

- What is the plan? - she asked.

- First, we have to get to the other world, but Coraline sealed the house, so we have to enter through the only entrance that exists here. They all looked in the direction of the drawing-room, where her mother kept the old furniture.

- It's locked. Well locked. Coral said.

- And we'll open it. - Amanda's talked together.

Everyone gathered in the living room, everyone was facing the wall, staring. Back there was the little door, the main entrance to another world, to Another house. Everyone there could feel the bad energy emanating from there. Rudy moved his hand and made the whole wall, all the lock disappearing and now they were in front of the small door. Rudy had few powers, he was weak, and every use of magic made him weaker still.

- We do not have the key. Coral said.

"And that's why we brought it." Balt said pointing to the things they brought. "Let's use the magic of the five elements to open the door.

- Yes, Coral. The small door opens only with the key. Spink said.

"But if we know the right magic, we can open it for a little while." Forcible completed.

The children and Rudy began to pick up the elements, Rudy was using magic to manipulate everything, he seemed weaker than ever and Coral watched closely. The elements gathered and floated before them and suddenly turned into a brilliant key.

- Everybody hold the key. Rudy said. The hands of Amanda's and Balt's hand. Rudy's too. He looked at Coral. "You too, doll.

"Do not call me a doll. She muttered and then held the key.

They stuck the key in the lock and made only a movement, the door swung open causing them all to go back, and inside, like a puff, a rotten odor appeared and made them retreat even more. The hallway was long and dark, something seemed to move inside, and the scent resembled something old and very old. It was totally scary, the darkness seemed to have life and terrible things seemed to be born of it. Coral did not know if he could get in there. A cold hand caught hers causing her to be frightened. It was Rudy. He was cold as ice.

"Do not be afraid, it'll all be over soon.

"I'm not afraid of your mother." Coral tried to sound brave.

"And you should not have. She is nothing compared to Elzarella." He said and shivered looking down the hall.

- Elzarella? - Coral spoke loudly, and everyone cringed at that name.

- Shiii ... She's my grandmother." Rudy spoke and looked back down the corridor, and this time the fear crossed his eyes. "And we should not wake her up under any circumstances."
