When Coraline got hold of the three souls, the children came to life but because they were so old, they started to age very quickly and eventually they became zombies like the ones Beldam had turned the other father into. The other mother laughed maniacally and explained to Coraline that the children were actually evil and that all of it was a part of her plan all along.

Coraline then threw the cat onto the other mother’s face and snatched the key from the other mother’s pocket. The three now undead creatures grab hold of Coraline’s arms and legs. They quickly carried her to the nearest chair as Coraline struggles to break free of their hold. They tie her to the chair and eventually she couldn’t move. At that moment, Coraline knew what they were going to do, she could clearly see the sharp needle and thread and big black buttons that would soon replace her eyes.

She refused.

She screamed and kicked and kicked and screamed when she felt a thin but painfully sharp needle pierce into the skin of her arm in a quick and forceful movement. She began to feel herself getting drowsier and drowsier. Her vision began to blur around the creature that she would soon be forced to call ‘mother’ and watched her take the key into her hand and swallowing it, smiling viciously with yellow stained jagged teeth. And though her heavy eyes were slowly closing, she could clearly see that that the other mother is a monster. An evil, soul- sucking, beast of a living hell. Then everything went black.

She woke up to find that she could not see colour and everything was in the shade of black and white. Maybe this was what it was like to be wicked and see through the devil’s eyes. She was freaking out. Running to the mirror behind her door suddenly taken aback by the monster she saw in the mirror that was her. Her other mother stood smiling as if the sun had never shone brighter.
She remembered when the cat had said that the Beldam liked to play games. That she liked to be challenged and so Coraline decided that a game was exactly what she was going to give her, it may not be fun at first, but it was worth a try.

Coraline gave the other mother a bright cheeky smile and greeted her politely which had caught the other mother off guard; she clearly had not expected this from Coraline. She wanted so badly to vomit. She couldn’t believe that she could even look her in those empty soulless eyes and pretend to be happy. After the other mother complimented Coraline’s new shiny black button eyes, she revealed the big breakfast surprise. When Coraline walked into the kitchen, she could not believe her fake eyes! There was food all over the table from pancakes to bacon to eggs and everything that Coraline loved! It certainly would not be hard for her to be happy this morning.

Then she had an idea.

She offered the other mother some food very courteously remembering that the other mother liked manners and then she grew furious explaining rather rudely to Coraline that it would make her sick and Coraline’s smile grew bigger. She explained to the other mother that it was unfair that Coraline was obliged to use her manners but the other mother wasn’t and so the other mother became flushed and apologised but Coraline did not accept her apology. The other mother did not get angry but begged for forgiveness and so Coraline said that she would forgive her if she ate one blueberry and she made sure to elucidate her point.

The other mother became anxious but then decided that one little blueberry wouldn’t hurt and when she swallowed the berry, her skin became scaly and dry. Her button eyes began to melt. Her fingernails curled into demented spirals at the end of her fingers and she looked as if she had suddenly run out of breath with her mouth wide open and tiny eerie screams escaping her mouth. As she fell onto the floor everything started melts very quickly. Coraline saw that the other mother was nothing but a puddle of multi-coloured wax and barely noticed the gleaming key.

She picked it up hastily then ran for the door whilst the house and everything in it continued to melt. She quickly opened the door running across the dark narrow passage way between the two worlds and safely made it into her real house, with her real parents. She heard her mother yell out her name and she hurriedly walked towards the sound of her loving mother’s voice. She saw  them both stand in front of her frozen in shock and they saw her standing there with her big black button eyes staring blankly with black liquid running down her cheeks. Her mother and father became very scared and had told her to leave and that if they ever saw her again, they would call the police. Coraline tried to explain but they thought that she was crazy and so they ended up calling the police when Coraline ran to the well and jumped in.

hey! So here's another please tell me if you like it or not because I don't really want to do this for no reason so yeah....

Thanks, bye :)
