Coraline ran, feet carrying her as fast as she could to Danny. He was going to die, he was going to die and she couldn't save him. She loved him, he was her friend and he was going to die. Just like Adam. Just like Sarah. Just like everyone she loved. He was going to leave and then he was going to die and she couldn't do anything. She couldn't

Trained by the distraught calls of his daughter for eight years, Danny knows that when a little girl has that tone of voice, you drop everything. It's the case when he hears Coraline and the book he's reading gets shoved under the pillows (considering it was one of the Harlequins) and he's taking determined strides out the door immediately, concern written all over his face. "Hey, sweetheart, what's wrong?" he demands instantly, beckoning her closer.

"Danny! Danny!" Coraline said sobbing as she ran to him. Throwing herself at him Coraline wrapped her arms tight around him as she buried her face against his shoulder and cried. He was smaller than her but it didn't feel that way. She had never felt so small. She had never felt so lost before not for years, not since the Other Mother had kidnapped her parents. "He's going to die and I can't- can't stop it. I don't want him to-to d-die."

"L-Luke, he's going to go home and he's going to die. And Percy won't stop him, he's going to give him the knife and then he'll die. And I don't want him to," Coraline said half sobbing, half speaking as she clung onto Danny. Coraline pressed her damp face against his shoulder, her body shaking as she cried.
