There were six dark bruised patches covering her head and her face and her ribs as if she had been struck by something. There was one long red scrape against her cheek as if bark had been resting against it. There was one terrible thought of a dark haired little girl standing over her body dropping something on her. And there was one teenage girl unsure what to do.
Coraline Jones did not trust the police. She loved Danny and liked a lot of the police but she did not in fact trust them. When you went to the police they didn't do anything, they thought you were lying and just a kid and maybe a little jealous. They never believed you. And she needed someone to believe her. But the thing was she didn't know who to tell.
She could tell Bill but what if she hurt him, Bill was all the family she had left and she couldn't lose him. She could tell Johnny but he'd probably ask if she was um, sure and Coraline wasn't. She could tell Percy but things were really weird with him and she couldn't face him at the moment. She could tell Danny, she should tell Danny but he wouldn't believe her and she couldn't find him anyway. She didn't know what to do.
Head ducked down in thought, Coraline looked up spotting Kate and wincing at the tug at her ribs as she lifted her hand in a soft wave. Maybe she could tell Kate.
