Coratale Prologue-Lingering Nightmare

It was nighttime at the Pink Palace Apartment. Coraline Jones was tossing and turning in her sleep, murmmering something........."no..........I won't.......get away.......NO!"

She woke up in a cold sweat, breathing heavily. Looking around, she saw that she was just in her bedroom, and not in the Other World cornered by the Beldam. "It was just a dream." she said to herself, as she sat there alone in the dark.

--
"You do not want to leave too, do you?' Jesus asked the Twelve. Simon Peter answered him, 'Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. We believe and know that you are the Holy One of God." - John 6:67-69 NIV

----------------

The next day, she drearliy walked down the stairs to get herself a bowl of cold cereal for breakfast. Upon sitting down to eat, her father walked by and said with a smile "Good morning, my twitchy-witchy girl. And how are you this fine morning?"

Coraline said nothing, and with a tired look, continued to eat her cereal. "Bad dream again, fuss-bucket?" he asked with an endearing smile.

She simply nodded, too tired to come up with one of her snappy remarks she'd usually give him.

"Coraline dear," her mom said as she sat next to her "we're starting to get concerned about you. Why don't you just talk to us about these dreams? I'm sure that talking about them would make you feel better."

"I'd rather not." Coraline replied weakly as she ate her cereal.

"You know what would be good for you?" her dad asked with a grin "Going out to take a walk in the woods. I'm sure that would help clear your head some."

"I'll think about it." Coraline said, as she got up and put her empty bowl in the kitchen sink.

-----------------------------------

"Why don't you talk to them about it?" Wybie asked Coraline as they walked around the garden.

"I think you know why, Why-were-you-born!" she replied irately "My parents would think I'm crazy! And if it weren't for what happened near the end of my experience, you'd still think so too!"

She allowed a moment of silence while The Cat next to Wybie simply looked on at her "My dad thinks I should take a walk in the woods to help clear my head. Like THAT will do any good!"

"That reminds me," Wybie said "my grandma once told me that somewhere in those woods was a huge mountain called Mt. Ebott. People say that if you climb up that mountain, then you'll never be seen again. Or at least, that's what I've heard.

My grandma would never let me go up there. I'll admit that I didn't believe all that disappearing mumbo-jumbo, but after the incident with the evil little you-doll, I guess ANYthing is possible!"

"I suppose I could use the walk to clear my head at least." she said, thinking back to her dad's words "I'll go get my things.

-----------------------

No sooner had Coraline packed up to go on her hike than her mom sent her on a quick errand to deliver some things to Miss Spink and Miss Forcible.

She'd told them of her intentions to go out hiking, which led Miss Forcible to go on about how she and Miss Spink used to do the same in their younger days, but Coraline was too busy sipping her tea to really focus on their long-winded story.

Just as Coraline handed the cup over to Miss Spink to read the tea leaves she looked in the cup with a curious look on her face. "That's odd."

"What's odd?" Coraline asked.

"I see a smiling flower." Miss Spink replied "I'm not sure what it means though." "Perhaps it is a sign that you shall find a young prince on your hike!" Miss Forcible remarked with an amused smile.

"So then what should I do?" Coraline asked them.

"Always go the path of the pacifist." Spink replied. "Beware the man who speaks in hands!" Forcible said dramatically. "And above all," Miss Spink concluded as her scottie dogs stood next to her "no matter what happens, stay determined!"

"Thanks." Coraline told them as she left "I'll take your advice."

Shortly after Coraline had walked up from the abode of the two elderly women, and before she could go any further, she was greeted by Mr Bobinsky who had cart-wheeled in front of her, taking her by surprise.

"Sorry 'bout that Caroline." he told her, getting her name wrong for the millionth time much to her annoyance "but before you go anywhere, the mice asked me to give you important message."

"What did they say?" she asked, for she felt that just as before, it might be important.

"The mice," he replied "they are saying that although you saved the children from the other side of little door, there are even more children trappned under big mountain, and only your determination can free them......or.....something like that I suppose. Maybe too much bree in their diet?"

"Thanks for telling me, Mr B." she replied. "Take this for your hike." he said with a smile, handing her one of his beets "You never know when you be needing it. Do svidaniya, Caroline." and he back-flipped away back to his apartment.

Coraline chose to put the beet in her backpack out of politeness, and she figured it would be a good snack......if she got REALLY desparate!

-------------------

After walking through the woods for fifteen minutes, she came upon Mt. Ebott.

If the message the mice had given her was true, then there were kids (possibly dead as the last ones were) that needed to be freed.

"Maybe this little side-trip will be enough to finally put the whole 'Other Mother' business behind me once and for all!" she said to herself "Can't hurt to try, right?"

As she arrived at the base of the imposing mountain, she looked up at this mass of rock where people supposedly vanished at. 

No sooner had she climbed a few feet up than the ground underneath her gave way, and she fell into the depths of Mt Ebott.

Close by, certain figure watched Coraline fall, and was certain that this was where she could at last have her revenge!
