Belladonna's Lair/Dixie's Transformation

As Dixie, Roscoe, and Desoto traveled deeper and deeper, the waters became darker and colder where the light cannot penetrate. Dixie felt much nervously scared as she swam past the anglerfish, gulper eels, and viperfish, and she even also felt like she was being followed. She thought she saw glowing eyes in the dark.
Sebastian, Tod, Copper, and Annabelle tried to swim after Dixie, Roscoe and Desoto, but it was too dark for them to find them. Oliver was scared of being in the dark. Luckily, Annabelle used her necklace with heart on it as a light. The heart glowed neon bright like a flashlight, so she, Sebastian, Tod, Copper, and Bess can find Sasha. Suddenly, Annabelle and her crew saw the entrance of Belladonna's Lair. It was a big black coral rock shaped like a sea monster. It scared the group until they realized it was a rock and not a real monster.
Dixie stopped right in front of the entrance thankful that the jaws were so large that there was plenty of room to swim between the teeth of the sea monster entrance, but still stalactites and stalagmites filled the entrance like razor sharp teeth. Taking a nervous gulp, she entered the cave following Roscoe and Desoto. The hallways were dark, and the two mer-dobermans led the way. Nervously, Dixie followed behind them, but as they swam further, she heard moaning and howling sounds as they entered the next hallway. Dixie looked down and noticed something moving along the bottom. She then paled in fright as some light shined in and showed the horrifying polyps. Then suddenly, one of them shot at her, wrapping around her wrist. She struggled, trying to pull it off, until the final tug, she broke free. In fear, she swam fast to the mer-dobermans' side as they reached their final destination.
Dixie was very frightened at polyps as Roscoe and Desoto laughed at her. When they entered Belladonna's lair room, she noticed a huge conch hung from the ceiling, a few shelves full of strange concoctions, a vanity mirror, and a cauldron shaped like a closed claw hand in the middle of the room. "This is where Belladonna lives," she thought. "Hello Dixie. Remember me? we spoke at Laila's party?" Belladonna spoke up from the conch. Dixie nervously came in, and she saw Belladonna swam her way out of the conch, as she said quirking, "I'm glad to see that Roscoe and Desoto didn't scare you off and that they safely led you here from the Coral Reef Inn." Dixie nervously said, "Uhhh... This place is spooky. Do you live here?" Belladonna grinned as she touched Dixie's black mertail with her paw feeling the black fish scales, and then she said, "Why yes, This is my home. I'm glad you find it creepy. So Dixie, I feel like you are in love with Cash. You see, Your father is wrong about him." As Dixie and Belladonna talk, Annabelle, Sebastian, Tod, and Copper made it to the lair and watched from behind a rock and they heard Belladonna saying, "If your mertail is pure as pretty and beautiful like your mother, your father, your sisters, and my dear cousin, how come my mertail is beastly and hazardous?" She showed Dixie her mertail that it had sharp spikes on it and it is used as a defensive mechanism with deadly and poisonous spikes. Dixie said, "Your mertail is very intimidating. Why do you try to overthrow my father and Annabelle?" Belladonna laughed and said, "Never mind your father and my goody fishtailed cousin Angelfish who was lucky to be your aunt and friend. I know she showed you the way up to the surface. How about I help you get your perfect dog Cash?" Then Belladonna broke out singing, "Poor Unfortunate Souls." When she finished she said, "All I want from you is your voice. I will make a potion that will turn you into a land dog to be with Cash for three days. Got that, three days. If he kisses you before the sunsets on the third day, you will remain a land dog and you'll regain your voice. If he doesn't, you'll turn back into a merdog, and I will keep your voice and soul! All you have to do is sign this agreement and drink this potion!"
A stern look came onto Dixie's face as she looked at the agreement and grabbed the pen. Dixie then turned her own head away while shutting her eyes and clenching her teeth as she signed "Dixie" on the dotted line. When Dixie finished signing her own name, she opened her eyes and Belladonna took the contract scroll. The deal was done! Belladonna smiled evilly, spread her hands over her cauldron, chanting a spell, and her cauldron then started glowing blue and a blue whirlwind appeared around her and Dixie, who looked extremely nervous. Then two huge green phantom-like paws, symbolizing Belladonna's hands appeared, and the whirlwind turned green as well. Each was to her left and right, and Belladonna looked towards Dixie as she stated, "Now, sing!" She looked at Dixie with an insane look in her eyes and an evil toothy grin.
Without any hesitation, the mer-Saluki dog sang out, or vocalized, the tune of her song. But as she sang, a small golden sphere glowed in her throat; the small golden glowing sphere in her throat was none other than her voice. The spell was working!
"Keep singing!" Belladonna shouted. As Dixie did so, the paws reached out for her. As one paw reached for her, Dixie flinched a little, but still held her tone. And then, like a viper striking for a mouse and getting it, the paw shot into her mouth and ventured down Dixie's throat. And in a few seconds, it pulled out, along with Dixie's voice as it continued to hold the notes in her song. Dixie saw the golden orb that was her voice, and held her throat, knowing it was lost forever. And then the hands were reeled right into Belladonna's shell necklace, which she insanely grinned at as she cackled like a maniac.
Then Belladonna began to laugh wickedly as Dixie got trapped in a yellow bubble, as the whirlwind also turned yellow and she began to completely change. Annabelle gasped in shock. Sebastian shook, and Tod and Copper closed their eyes as they watched in complete horror as Dixie was transforming from mer-dog to land dog. Dixie felt her fins splitting into two, her lower fish body began to disappear as it started to lose its color and match Dixie's fur tone. Her legs emerged, a long bushy tail appeared at the end of her back, and her tail fins became feet or paws. She was still wearing her black seashell bra, her black hair bow, and her black collar. The bubble disappeared, but now Dixie was left unable to breath underwater, and she couldn't swim either. Annabelle, Sebastian, Tod, and Copper darted from their hiding place and went on either sides of the female now land Saluki dog and swam to the surface as fast as they could. Belladonna cackled evilly as they left her lair. The group kept swimming and swimming until finally managing to get Dixie above water. Dixie took a huge breath of air upon reaching the surface. With that problem solved, everyone guided her to the nearby shore. 
Meanwhile, Belladonna watched the group make it to Cash’s castle through her crystal ball. She cackled evilly that she turned Dixie into a land dog. “Yes! My plan is complete!” Belladonna smirked triumphantly. “Now, time for phase 2...”
