Here it is! A Michael and Isla section! Enjoy!

-

Michael

“Which one do you choose to be captured…and killed.

The love of your life…or your loyal, beloved Night Fury…”

No.

I love them both. I truly do. There is no way to choose out of them. That’s way too hard.

Just after Isla and I confess our love to each other…

Just after everything was getting better…

“You will have five minutes to decide, Haddock,” Havardr spat at me in fury. He carelessly pushed me back to the ground, causing my head to crash into a hard, pointy rock, and to make it a whole lot better, Havardr kicked me in the back, and in the head (even harder than before) more times. I whimpered in pain. No, not pain from what Havardr did to me, but pain from the decision I have to make. This choice is the most painful thing I have ever experienced in my life.

I love Isla, I even just told her…

But I also love Shade, she has been by my side all of my life…

I moaned in pain, trying to turn on my other side to face Shade.

She was breathing calmly and still tranquilized, not aware on what was happening obviously.

''My best friend, I can’t leave her. She was my first dragon friend! Our friendship is something no one can describe…''

I turned to my other side to see Isla.

She had turned around too, looking at me in fear. She had a big bruise on her head, and she was mouthing something to me. Knowing Isla, she was most likely trying to say, “Choose me. I don’t care if I die. Keep Shade safe.”

''But I can’t just leave you. I can’t just let you die, ''I thought. ''You don’t understand how much you mean to me. I can’t imagine a world without you in it, Isla. I can’t let you or Shade go…''

My vison started to become blurry, and I got even more dizzy than before. Though I ignored it, all I was thinking about was the decision.

I looked over at my brother. Jeremy. He was talking to Havardr, and it easily looked like he was trying to change Havardr’s mind.

I gazed back at Shade and Isla’s faces. Shade was stirring now, nearly waking up, and looking more terrified. Isla looked terrified too.

Then all of a sudden, I knew my decision.

And I’ll make sure we go with this decision, no matter what.

Isla

Please, please, please, I thought in fear, ''choose me. Save Shade. I don’t care if I get hurt. Choose me…Michael, CHOOSE ME!''

Although I knew Michael wouldn’t just let me or Shade go. It must be so hard for him…

At the corner of my eye, I saw Inferno open his eyes,. He looked like he had one of his constant dreams about food. However, when he noticed what was happening around him, he looked like he woke up from a nightmare about someone stealing his food.

He quietly growled and gazed at everything and everyone around him. He noticed Shade still sleeping, growled even louder, then he noticed Michael, and then growled even louder than before.

He looked at me. Oh Thor…I knew what was going to happen…

Inferno suddenly roared and ripped the ropes off him. He roared a second time, swatting Harns’ away with his tail. He looked at me, then at Havardr. It was weird. Havardr was acting as if Inferno hadn’t woken up at all. He had his back on Inferno, and was calmly talking to Jeremy (Jeremy, on the other side, looked frightened, and was moving back slowly).

Inferno, who had knocked down more Harns’, charged at Havardr. I really hoped Havardr gets what he deserves. He made Inferno miss his lunch.

Until…I saw Havardr get out a crossbow from a Harn nearby.

That’s when I realized. He knows Inferno is coming. He is going to shoot Inferno.

“Inferno!” I called. I immediately stood up, now feeling less dizzy. I also noticed Michael trying to get up, but Harn pushed him back to the ground and held him there. I think I saw Shade moving, but I didn’t look. “Come back!” I yelled.

But Inferno didn’t.

No! I thought. ''No, no, no, no, no! NOT INFERNO TOO! ''“Inferno!” I kept on shouting. “Come back now!”

It was too late. To my horror, Havardr calmly turned around, aimed his crossbow…

…and shot Inferno.

Inferno roared in pain. He fell to the ground right at Havardr’s feet. Blood poured from his thigh. I yelped and fell to the ground next to him. “Oh, no, no, no!” I cried. “No!” I whipped around to face Havardr. “How dare you!”

I clenched my fists, ready to attack him, but I stopped, realizing that Havardr was aiming the crossbow at Inferno’s chest. “Don’t bother,” he snarled.

I was about to protest, but I reluctantly didn’t. Havardr can shoot Inferno again if I make the wrong move. “Ah, that’s better,” Havardr smiled. He walked around Inferno and I (still aiming at us), and went next to Michael. “So,” Havardr smirked, not taking his eye off us. “Thought of your decision, Mikey?”

I couldn’t help it, I shouted, “Don’t make him choose! Just kill me! I don’t care! Michael and the dragons here are innocent! I am one of the people you want!”

Havardr shrugged. “Oh well,” he said cheerfully. “I don’t care if I make people’s life hard and bad, so just shut up and let me hear his decision!”

Harns’ pointed their weapons at me, but also Jeremy. I heard Jeremy whimper, and I noticed Shade being shot by another tranquilizer dart just as she was waking up. “No, please…” I pleaded. “We—we could make a deal—”

“SHUT UP!” Havardr suddenly shouted. A Harn came out of nowhere and kicked my leg, making me fall to the ground. Havardr grabbed Michael’s face. “Who do you choose?” he impatiently asked.

Michael looked so confused and scared, but to my horror, he said his decision. “To be killed…” he whispered. Havardr leaned closer to him to hear him properly. Michael continued louder,

“I choose myself. For Isla and Shade, anything for them. I don’t care if I’m not supposed to choose myself, you are not stopping me from doing so,” he said confidently. Havardr’s eyes widened in anger.

No…

“No!” I cried. “No! Michael! Please, no!” Tears escaped my eyes. “No!”

Jeremy was also shouting. “NO!” he roared. “Michael, don’t do it!”

Michael, however, ignored Jeremy and I. “You can hurt me,” he said. “You can take my soul away. You can do whatever you like to me. You can kill me,” he took a deep breath. “But for the love of Thor…” A tear escaped his eye too. “Don’t hurt…them…”

“No…” I stammered. I felt like I couldn’t breathe. I felt like I have been stabbed in the heart.

I…he—he can’t leave though… I thought, trying to figure out ways to fix this. ''I can’t imagine a world without you in it! You mean everything to me! You can’t! ''“No!” I shouted again. “Choose me! Kill me! Not him!”

Havardr yawned. “Ah, so weird,” he muttered to a Harn. “Everyone sacrificing themselves for other people. It’s just not right.” The Harn nodded in agreement.

I ignored Havardr. I immediately got to my feet and ran to Michael. I collapsed to my feet next to him. “You can’t leave me!” I yelped. “I won’t let you!”

Michael sadly smiled. He got a strand of my hair and put it behind my ear. “I might never see you again…” he whispered. “But I’ll never leave you. I’ll always be with you, in here.” He placed his hand where my heart was. “Forever.”

Jeremy was arguing with Havardr. “You—you can become a bigger target! Michael’s a descendant…”

“And then you will be Chief,” Havardr grinned. “''Hooray! ''Plus, no one will be able to defeat us anyway! We’ll kill the boy!”

“I love you,” I cried to Michael.

“I love you too,” Michael whispered in my ear, holding in tears, knowing he might never see Shade and I again, “and I want you to be safe. You know that’s all I ever wanted.”

“Hold down the Night Fury!” A Harn suddenly yelled. Shade had woken up, and knocked down some Harns’, and ran to Michael. She licked him in concern. Havardr surprisingly stopped the Harns’ from coming to us.

“Shade…” Michael groaned. “You’re…stepping…on my—on my leg…”

Shade quickly hopped off Michael, but still was next to him. “I have to go, Shade,” Michael sadly said. “For a very long time, for you and Isla to be safe. I love you, girl.” Shade roared sadly and nuzzled Michael’s hand, trying to make him stay. “I can’t…” Michael said, looking down.

Shade looked at me and all of the Harns’ and Havardr. They were aiming their bows at her, but not shooting. She looked back at Michael, and all of a sudden, gave him a dragon kind of hug. (HTTYD 3 REFERENCE I’M SORRY!) 

Shade let go after a while, and reluctantly moved backwards. Michael turned to me, smiling warmly. I hugged him too. I heard Harns’ approaching us. “Go, Isla…” Michael told me. “Go…” He quickly kissed my forehead (too far I know I’m sorry again), and then before I knew it, someone grabbed me and pulled me away from Michael. I yelled as I saw Harns’ tying Michael up, but he didn’t look away from me. He gave me a small nod, and then looked at Jeremy.

“Goodbye, little bro…” Jeremy looked down sadly.

“See you later, Jem,” Michael nodded at Jeremy too.

Inferno was trying his best to stand up, but didn’t in the end. “Take care of them, will you?” Michael called to Inferno. Inferno nodded, and then it happened…

The Harns’ dragged Michael away.

“NO!” I yelled, and ran to them, hoping for the best.

I will never see Michael again…

Jeremy held me back, however, and I tried my best to fight him off and keep on running to Michael.

Michael will get tortured…

“PLEASE! NO!” I yelled again. Jeremy still didn’t let go.

Michael will die.

That’s when I stopped. All of the energy and confidence drained out of me. I felt frozen to the spot. The thought of Michael getting tortured and killed made me feel completely useless and weak. So I just stood there, helplessly watching as Michael’s forest green eyes, shaggy light brown hair, and reassuring smile disappeared from my sight, I fell to the ground and let all of my tears out. Shade howled sadly, and Inferno threw his wings over us. Jeremy had his face in his hands, whimpering, but stopped.

After what felt like an eternity, we heard some people were coming. We had to go. “Je—Jeremy…” I stuttered. “C—come to the Guardian…clubhouse…”

“W—why?”

“Because…maybe…maybe we can get Michael back before….he gets…k—” I couldn’t say the word ‘killed’. It made me scared, with the thought of Michael being killed.

“OK…”

After treating Inferno’s wound, we were  quickly off. Jeremy and I flew Shade, and flew beneath Inferno, just in case he didn’t want to fly halfway. It was a silent flight, and halfway through it I nearly fell off Shade because of how dizzy I felt and how my eyes were burning from tears. I nearly burst out crying a couple of times.

I know Michael wanted to keep Shade secret, but with him now gone, I’ll need extra help keeping Shade secret and safe. Michael trusts the Guardians, and so do I.

After a while of flying, the Guardian Clubhouse came into our view. We landed at the front. Jeremy, Shade and I helped Inferno inside.

Everyone was in there, except Rita. Katina was showing them something, and it looked like they had finished whatever they were talking about.

Aud turned around to look at me. “Isla!” she said happily. There you are—” She suddenly paused, eyeing Shade in confusion.

“Don’t move…” Vix said whispered slowly.

“Isla…” Katina whispered. “There is a Thor flippin’ Night Fury right next to you!”

“I know,” I said quietly, looking down. I didn’t want to talk about what happened, but I would have to sooner and later. Yet again, I nearly burst into tears.

Everyone else looked shocked and deeply interested about Shade and what had just happened.

“Isla,” Aidan said slowly. “What happened, and why is there a Night Fury here?”

“You’re bleeding!” Aud yelped. “And Inferno! Are you OK!?” She rushed to my side, but stopped, eyeing Shade. Shade, on the other hand, didn’t look at anyone, but stared at the floor sadly. Aud quietly and slowly walked around Shade to me.

Kate was coming closer too. “Everything OK?” she asked worriedly.

No, I thought. ''Nothing is OK. Everything is terrible right now. ''“Yes,” I lied. “No. Yes. No. I don’t know?”

“What happened?” Everyone said again impatiently and in concern.

Jeremy threw his face into his hands again, and I couldn’t help it, more tears fell. Both Inferno and Shade howled quietly, and Aud hugged me in concern.

“Michael…” Ugh, it hurts saying his name, but they have to know.

“Yeah?” Katina asked. “What about him?”

“He—he got captured…captured by Havardr…and is going to be…to be…to be…k—killed…”

And with that, I collapsed to the ground again and let all of my anger and tears out.
