Chapter 2.
A/N: - You know what? I'm gonna shut up for once and let you read the fic..enjoy!
Dory knew that they would be dead as soon as their enemy's jaws clamped around them. It was all over. She could hear Marlin gasping for water beside her. 'So this is how you're gonna die, Dory.' She thought to herself. If only she could distract the fish then they could escape, but her fins wouldn't move. Her eyes were fixed on the barracuda's fast approaching teeth. Suddenly, Dory had a brainwave.a very rare thing for her! "Marlin! Swim for the anemone!" "But what about you?" "The barracuda will look at you and I can swim for it and meet you back here when it's gone!" "Are you sure this will work, Dory?" "Just trust me, alright?" Dory asked, pleading for Marlin to hurry up. She hoped that by saying for him to trust her he would remember the jellyfish, and the scars on her fin that were a faded dark red colour. She looked up at the barracuda again and it was almost upon them when Marlin darted out and into the anemone. Dory seemed to unfreeze and she swam as fast as she could go. She just hoped it would be fast enough. She didn't look back until she reached the drop-off. It was there that she stopped and tried to get her breath back. She had no idea why she had swum away so fast and what she was swimming away from. She turned round and started to make her way, slowly as she was exhausted, back to where Marlin and Nemo lived. She waited outside, trying to remember what happened, when she heard quiet sobbing inside. "Nemo? Is that you?" "Dory?" he sniffled as he poked his head out, "Dory! You're ok!" Nemo flung his fins around Dory and hugged her. He knew that their little family would've fallen to pieces had Dory not come back alive. He turned to hug his dad but he wasn't there. "Where's dad?" "Dad? You mean Marlin, right? I.uh.don't know.I can't remember." "Dory! Try and remember! PLEASE!" Nemo begged. He couldn't bear to think that he had sent his own dad to his death. "Oooh.I know what it was, I know it! The barracuda! He swam for the anemone to distract it and I swam away because there was something he could do that I couldn't but I forgot..hang on! Nemo! You should be in the anemone, hiding in case that barracuda comes back. We should both hide! Come on!" and she rushed forward towards the anemone. "Dory - No!!!!!!!!" Nemo cried as he rushed forwards to drag her back, knowing that she wouldn't last inside the anemone, but she reached it a split second before him and could only watch in horror as Dory brushed against the poisonous sea plant and jerked back in agony only to realise her tail was tangled in a tentacle. She struggled desperately for a couple of seconds before breaking free. She gasped and swam weakly as far as she could make before collapsing on a soft piece of coral. Nemo hurried to see if she was ok. Her breathing was laboured and she was coughing raspily. "Nemo! Thank goodness you're alright. I was so worried something might happen to you. Where's....Dory! What happened?" Marlin had appeared by his son's side and his eyes were wide and alarmed. "She tried to go into the anemone, dad. She forgot it was dangerous and I didn't have time to warn her." "Another lesson learned the hard way! The only way she remembers anything is if she experiences it. You can be sure she'll never go near an anemone ever again." Marlin sighed as he lifted Dory and hauled her into a hollow in a large rock and checked for any severe injuries she may have received. Finding none, he went back to Nemo to examine him for any damage that may have been done. When he was satisfied, he sent his son to bed. It had been one of the longest days Marlin could remember and he couldn't wait for it to end. He turned, taking one last glance around him and then at Dory, before heading into his home to join his son.
As he fell into an uneasy slumber, he thought of Coral and her sacrifice in the hope to save her eggs. He thought about Nemo and recalled the long journey he had taken to find him and bring him back again. The memories of seeing Nemo belly-up, seeing Dory in the middle of the jellyfish tentacles, being stuck in the whale, being chased by an angler fish, being chased by sharks and Dory and Nemo stuck in the fishing net. His mind was full of jumbled thoughts and he wished that he could turn back time and save Coral. If only he could have her back then his life would be complete. He knew he had to go back to his old home and see his and Coral's families. They probably still thought she was alive and well with 400 little ones to care for. Marlin made his decision fast. He would take Nemo and Dory and go back tomorrow. It was time to face his past.
