The Wybie That Talks

     Sitting alone by the newly decorated garden, Coraline Jones found herself struggling to adjust herself after the horrendous events that happened during the first weeks of staying from their new residence from the Pink palace, it did not come to her mind of such small and secluded place could hold greater secrets that lies beneath those walls from the fireplace that she wished she had never discovered from the start

But the scars of nightmares had already marked her mind, instead of recalling all the wonderful childhood memories like other kids at her age in school, hers was just tormenting, unable to forget those horrible experience that other world had made her, it didn't help her much when she would randomly think of all the possible outcomes that might have happened...

what if the cat wasn't there to warn her about the beldam's evil schemes? What if the Other Father haven't given her the chance to give the lost soul? What if the Other Wybie is not as kindhearted as he was that would save her from that witch?

What if...she let that manipulative of a wretched being from sewing her eyes and ate her soul?

Coraline immediately avoid herself from thinking deeper and quickly shove off the thought, coming back from her senses, her focus went towards her freshly planted tulips, gripping the shovel tightly, she started to dig the ground more forcefully than what she expected to when a slight startled scream made her head to turn around, it was one of her oddly best friends, her close one in fact, Wyborn Lovat.

"W-why are you holding the shovel like that?! You almost hit me in the head Jonesy!" He cried as he covered his head in a protective manner, Coraline rolled her eyes and threw the shovel on the ground

"Well, I never said that you should stalk behind me Why-where-you-born.." she remarked, crossing her arms as he scratched his head uncomfortably, dusting off his black and silver lining coat

"I-I wasn't stalking you.."

"Ahuh..." Coraline raised her brow unamused from his shy and slouching posture that he would ususally do

"I-I just happen to wander around and see you here, all alone..which is..rather unusual for a type of outgoing person like you..."

"Wybie, I'm always alone whenever I go out.." Coraline laughed in mockery

"But you're quiet all along.." he reasoned

And that made her to widen her eyes in surprise, who knew, even at the slightest, Wybie already knew how she acted from everybody..

"Wow...you, really knew me that much huh?" She gritted her teeth in regret

He snap his fingers in victory "ha! See? I was right!" Crossing his arms just as she was, he leaned his worried face to look at her with sincerity

"Jonesy, just tell me what's bothering you?"

Coraline groan in defeat, rolling her eyes "Ugh...Fine, I was thinking about the other world..."

After hearing Coraline's reply, Wybie felt a chilling sensation running through his body as he remembered the horrifying hands made of metal tried to throw him off the well almost successfully...

"Eugh..that place..." he replied, wrapping his arms as if a cold wind just passed through

"h-how did you even manage to escape in the first place?"

"Your better version pushed me back to the door actually.." Coraline replied, averting her gaze from him

Wybie widen eyes in shock

Another version him?

And did she just said better?

"What? There's another me?" He asked as Coraline nodded silently
