Chapter 11

Mia sighed as she swam in the water. She didn't mind being a fish, she actually liked it. She just wish Flounder was there. She began ti hum a song.

Flounder continued to swim through the labyrinth. The cave had so many twist and turns it was very frustrating. He paused. He heard singing up ahead. It was Mia! He recognized her voice. He swam toward her voice.

"I'm never going to get out of here," the fish girl mumbled.

"Mia!"

"Flounder? Is that really you?!" she questioned.

"Of course its me. Who else would come down here to get you?" the voice replied. The blue and yellow fish came into veiw. His green eyes seemed bright in the cave.

The two hugged each other the best that a fish could. "I missed you so much," she whispered.

"I kept searching for you. How did you become a fi-"

"Oh how sweet," Morgana's voice said through the darkness. The octopus came out of her hiding place. "I kill Wyrd and now I have two fish I get to fry."

"You killed Wyrd?!" Mia yelled. Flounder backed away in the shadows, hiding. He put the the shell down gently.

"Naturally , child, how else was I suppose to get the shell of the ocean's heart?"

"Yo- you monster! That was my big brother!"

Mia lunged toward the octopus. She stopped before she could do anything to her; Morgana wrapped her tentacles around the female fish.

The sea witch laughed. "Who do you think it was that got him to cause you all this pain?" She then began to choke the sea animal.

"Hey, ugly! You want the shell? Come get it!" Flounder yelled. His voice echoed through out the labyrinth's walls.

Morgana ignored him and continued to choke Mia. The fish's body went limp.

Flounder could feel tears coming through his eyes. She had killed his love! He should have been able to stop her, but he was scared. He began to leave his hiding place, before he could move Sebastien appeared. The crab dragged him back before the octopus could see them.

"I will distract Morgana. You get Mia."

"B-"

"Go, mon."

Sebastien came out and began to pinch Morgana's tentacles. She began to try to hit the crab, but the crustacean had tied her them in knots!

"Mia, I am so sorry," Flounder tears in his eyes, he carried her dead body away from the fighting scene and to the place he had hidden the shell.

"Stupid shell," he murmurred. "You caused this!"

The shell began to roll. It touched Mia. The female fish let out a breath.

"Flounder?"

"Mia, I thought I lost you!" He gave her a quick kiss.

"For a moment you did. The shell did it." She siad when they broke off their kiss.

"Huh?"

"The magic in it. It used it all up. No one can use it again."

"How do you know?"

"I felt it."

A loud crash interrupted their conversation. The two fish began to swim.

"Slow down, you guys!" Sebastien yelled. The crab followed them.

"I am glad we are safe," Flounder said.

As soon as he said that, Morgana appeared behind them. She had gooten free from her tied up tentacles and was now ready to use them. She grabbed the three sea animals and began to drag them away.

"Morgana!" King Triton's voice yelled behind them. He lifted his weapon and fired it before he could hit her she disappeared. The lighting was headed straight for Flounder. Mia jumped in the way. The lighting hit her and she went limp. Her form began to change back to a human.

They began to head to the surface. Once they reached it, King Triton handed Mia to Prince Eric on his boat.

Flounder stared at her. He began to pray that she would be okay.

...

"So what exactly happened, Your Majesty?" Sebastien asked the next day.

"After I turned Flounder into a fish, I had this strange feeling to get the shell. The power for it had me for a second."

"So that's why you wanted it so badly."

"Yes."

The king looked over at Flounder. He smiled the fish was worried sick for his girlfriend. "Come on, lets head to the surface to see Mia."

The three made their way up.

...

Ariel and Eric sat on the beach. "You do realize that our child will be here in a few months right?" The queen asked her husband.

"Yes, its just hard to belive."

"I know. Look daddy is here!"

"How is she?" Flounder asked.

"She will be fine. She will have a long recovery, but she will be fine." The two royal answered their friend.

Flounder let out a sigh of relief. Mia was going to be all right and that was all that mattered.

So what do you think? Good? Bad? I have the epilogue left so enjoy.
