A Whisper From the Journal

Part 2: How Everything Began

Chapter 18: Coraline's Past

It was still bitter cold, frost glazed upon Coraline's woolen mittens. Coming back from the daydream of her mother, she stood listening to her friends laughing and talking, but something in her made her not want to feel happy not to laugh. As far as she knows, the world may be coming to an end. But inside she knew it wasn't maybe the end, it was the end. And she couldn't say or do anything to fix what whas going to happen. She couldn't save Sarah, she couldn't save Jared, she couldn't save Carson and she couldn't even save herself. Everyone was going do die soon and it was all her fault. Coraline soon said "I can't take this! I am going to kill my self and no one is going to stop me." She rushed down stairs and grabbed her dads hunting knife. What she didn't know is that Sarah was at the door peering in. As Coraline got back in to her room, she gently put the knife to her heart. What she thought were her last words she said " Okay this is its! ". Suddenly Sarah burst in to the room and yelled "STOP!" Coraline shook with fear. The knife slipped from her hands on to the floor. Her heart stopped. After Coraline caught her breath she looked down at the knife and it looked normal. Sarah asked Coraline " why did you try to kill your self?"
" You always tell me how I should do what makes me happy, and at the moment being dead is the only thing that could make me happy. Sarah fell silent, she was starring at the ground. " Coraline you didn't stab yourself?, did you?"
" No, what are you talking about?
" I don't know if you want to know at this moment but that knife you were going to use is now covered in blood." Sarah said trying to stay calm.
" let's just leave the house and go meet up with Jared and Carson." Coraline suggested
"good plan " Sarah replied.
