A/N: - Hello, again! I hope you enjoy this next chapter……I know I will!!!! Writing is coming first at the moment but if I get more homework then I will have to update with one chapter at a time instead of two! Hopefully that won't ever happen!

    As he journeyed through the dark and gloomy passageway towards the source of the voices, Nemo's feeling of unease grew larger. The anemones had been no problem and so far Dory hadn't shouted any warnings down to him, but he still felt like he was being watched.

    He reached a slightly brighter cavern and instantly hid behind a rock. He was directly behind his father's captor. He had a perfect view of everything. When Marlin glimpsed Nemo he started trying to get a message across to him. He asked his captor various questions while putting his emphasis on certain, carefully selected, words.

"Nemo, what are you doing about Nemo?"

"Shut up!" Coral's brother yelled.

"Your name is Linus, isn't it?"

"Yes, you know it is. I don't know what sort of little game you're playing here but I hope you have a reasonable explanation!" Linus snapped angrily.

"What's happened to Dory? Where is she? What is your plan?" Marlin said loudly and clearly to make sure he gave his son a good chance of picking up at least some of the messages. Nemo gave his Dad an affirmative nod before turning lo leave and update Dory on the situation. A new plan would have to be made. Nemo swam frantically but wasn't moving anywhere. He had banged right into a large clownfish.

  Dory swam in circles around the opening to the tunnel. She paused and looked around her. 'What am I doing here?' she thought, 'oh well.' She hummed along to the tune of Just Keep Swimming. As she reached the end of the last line, a voice repeated the last line of the song behind her in a much deeper voice. She turned and saw Bruce floating behind her.

"G'day Dory." He greeted cheerfully.

"Oh, hi Bruce!!!!"

"Anchor and Chum are on the way. We heard that there was a party up on this reef and thought we'd come and see what the fuss was about. You know, advertise the Fish Eaters Anonymous, and gain the shark world a better reputation."

"That's really good! I think that we should get some more members!" Dory agreed cheerfully before remembering Marlin and Nemo, "ooh…umm…can you help me? I think Marlin and Ringo are in trouble."

"Certainly we'll help!"

  Dory beamed,

"Thanks!" she smiled.

    They waited a couple of minutes for Anchor and Chum and then set off into the hole. It was extremely dark and Dory shivered in the cold. Her head was aching and so were her fins. She didn't feel great. 'Maybe I've caught something off of one of the fish at the party.' She decided not to say anything because she wanted to go through with rescuing Marlin and Nemo and not be made to wait outside on lookout post again.

    They reached the wall of anemones but the angler fish was no longer anywhere to be seen. Dory wasn't really very worried as she was accompanied by three sharks – 'what could possibly go wrong?' she thought, 'no, wait, I mustn't ask myself that question or something will go wrong!'

    When they were trying to figure out how to get past the anemone, Chum slipped off. He was gone for a short while before calling back to his companions.

"Hey, guys! There's a small opening over here! I think Dory could easily get through it," he shouted.

  Bruce, Anchor and Dory went to investigate with him. Dory looked into the gap apprehensively. She was experiencing a feeling that strongly resembled how she'd felt when Marlin was trying to persuade her to go over the jelly trench and not through it – the result was the three scars by her right fin. She glanced at them in remembrance. Bruce noticed the expression on her face and moved next to her.

"Listen, Dory, do you want Marlin and Nemo to die or are you going to help them? We promise we won't let anything happen to you. You are the only member of the FEA who's not a shark!"

    Next thing Dory knew she was swimming through the gap. She couldn't see very far behind or ahead of her. She gulped, took a deep breath and continued. Hearing rapid, heavy breathing from somewhere she slowed. It wasn't her. She looked behind her again. Still nothing. However, when she turned back to face the front, the angler fish was directly in front of her. She shrieked and tried to get away in the opposite direction and back into the area which was too narrow for the predator fish to fit in after her.

    Gasping, she rested on the bottom of her refuge. She turned round but was surrounded in all directions. Somehow, she had followed the wrong path through the anemones and got stuck in a dead end. She had to choose her death. 'Who'd have thought it would come to this' a voice in her head said, 'choosing your own death.' Dory knew the voice was right. It was either going into the anemones and hoping to get out alive – or risk trying to get past the angry angler in front of her.

"Tough choice." She stated, even though she knew no-one could hear her.

    Bruce couldn't tell how long they'd waited but he was beginning to get restless, as were Anchor and Chum. He started concocting a plan of action when he was interrupted by a mild voice beside him.

"You must be Bruce from 'Fish Eating Anonymous.'"

"Yes, but how did you -"

"Easy, my friend. Marlin told me all about you and what parts you played in his search for Nemo."

"You know Marlin? Then you must know Dory too right?" Anchor asked eagerly.

"Marlin is my brother and he introduced Dory to me."

"Really? So what's your name?"

"Morris. Now, what's going on here?"

"Dory's on a path somewhere in the anemone. She's on her way to rescue Marlin and Nemo. She should have been back by now. Can you see if you can find her?"

"Sure. Wait here," and Morris was gone.

    Meanwhile, Dory was bracing herself to try and speed past the angler fish when Morris arrived.

"Dory! Thank goodness I've found you! Come on!"

"Where?"

"Look, up here. There's an opening we can slip through."

    They slipped out of the maze and reached the place where Marlin and Nemo were being held. Nemo, seeing Dory, forgot where he was almost instantly.

"DORY! ---- I mean…err………oops?"

  But it was too late. Dory was caught. Thankfully, Morris still hadn't been seen.

    Linus circled Dory.

"I don't know how you got in here but I can assure you that you're never getting out!"

    Dory looked petrified. Marlin felt sorry for her.

"Hey, Linus! Pick on someone your own species!"

"Oh, but it wouldn't be nearly as much fun!" Linus sneered, "the Blue is easier to hurt with insults even if she won't show it."

"Leave me alone!" cried Dory almost an hour later after finally being reduced to tears.

"You're right," Linus said, "it's getting late. I really ought to be killing you now."

"No! You can't hurt any of us. Please! We'll go and never come back!" she pleaded.

"Not gonna work, love. You're a dead fish."

    And trembling, Marlin, Nemo and Dory awaited their inevitable fate.
