I honestly don't know what this is XD. I wrote it for fun, but there are probably a few mistakes in there, since, you know, I haven't written in forever. It probably doesn't even make sense too but here you go! (By the way, I feel like Isla is a bit out of character in this... oh well.)

Isla

Why do I have to be such a scared fool?

I had my chance right there, but I blew it. I blew it when I didn’t want to. I blew it when my dream come true was happening right there. But of course, I was scared and ran off.

Stupid me, stupid me… I probably made Michael feel like he ''messed up. Stupid me, stupid me…''

I got snapped back to reality when Inferno landed onto the spot Michael first confessed he loved me, aaand then got captured straight after – you’d think our lives is just one big, dramatic movie – so I scowled at Inferno. “Thanks for making me feel a lot better by taking me here, of all places,” I said rather harshly. Inferno looked down sadly, and walked away, still with his head down in unhappiness. “Hey – I didn’t mean that! Where are you going?”

Inferno responded by whining. “You serious, now?” I called after him. I tried to lighten things up by jokingly naming him, “big baby boo”, but that only seemed to make him snarl in annoyance at her. Inferno leapt off the edge and flew away after some birds. “Fine!” I yelled, throwing my hands in the air in defeat. “I’ll stay here by myself then.”

I sat down and folded my arms, wishing I brought my jacket and started to already wish for Michael’s company and warmth. I heard giggling and happy chatter at a pillar not too far away. I looked over at a male and female, cuddling next to each other, and laughing with each other. Suddenly, I envied them deeply. “Oh, stop rubbing it in!” I found myself calling over to them.

They stopped chatting and laughing, and looked at me in confusion. “What?” the woman asked curiously. I immediately hid back and stared ahead of me.

“This is just stupid,” I muttered under my breath. “This isn’t like me… I need to go back and say sorry and then everything will be OK and then Michael and I wouldn’t feel like idiots and Inferno would be happy and—”

“Who are you talking to?” The same couple was in her view again, and was on a different pillar.

“How could you hear me from there?!” I yelled in frustration. The man was holding the woman’s hand, no fair – for the love of Thor, snap out of it, Isla!

“You were, uh, talking very loudly!” the woman responded. “Who is Michael?” She winked at me. They flew onto my pillar on their dragons, grinning.

I didn’t know whether to tell them to go or keep on staring at their holding hands.

''I am totally a different person now. ''

I just stared at them, not their hands, in astonishment.

“I’m guessing something involving love, and then a fight, am I correct?” the male said with a cocky tone.

Dammit.

“Ooooo,” the woman squealed. “We can help!”

They could be relatives of Aud.

Don’t ask me why I started filling in complete strangers on what happened between Michael and I.

“Michael… I am so sorry for running off like that. I don’t even know why I did it. Well, I mean, I was just really scared. I mean, it’s different, you know. Is it different for you? Actually, no, you don’t have to answer that, because – well, you know. Um, I’m probably making this really awkward right now, sooo… wanna try that again—?”

“You are horrible at this,” Luis sighed disapprovingly and crossed his arms, looking like he was about to give up. Liana was sitting on the floor of the pillar, looking like she was about to sleep. Inferno, however, found the whole situation entertaining and amusing.

They’ve only been here on the same pillar for an hour, and it turns out that couple, Luis and Liana, are actually pretty helpful. They have been helping me with what to say to apologise to Michael.

I was on one knee, kneeling in front of Luis (who was pretending to be Michael), and I groaned in frustration. Now standing, I said, “I thought that was better!”

“It was better than your other practises, yes, but still horrible.”

“Gee, thanks.”

“You need to sound sorry. You need to not be awkward. You need to… try,” Luis explained with great difficulty.

I gasped over dramatically. “Excuse me, but I was just kneeling right there in front of you, I had tears running down my cheek, because I am very good at fake crying—”

“That was from water, Isla.”

“—and I’m saying sorry so yeah, I’m trying!”

“Just say sorry, you were scared, and you love him too, and whatever happens next after that, Isla, just go with the flow.”

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

Luis ignored the question, and went into a pose he thought Michael would look like (which doesn’t). “Try it again.”

I sighed in annoyance and collapsed on one knee again. I was about to try again before Luis interrupted me again. “Don’t kneel. Now that I think of it, it’ll look weird.”

''Thank you! ''Because who knew kneeling could make your legs feel so sore?

I stood back up, scratched the back of my head, sighed for what felt like the thousandth time today, and, trying to sound somber, said, “Michael, I am so sorry for running off like that. I don’t even know why I did it. I was just… I was just really scared. Don’t think I don’t love you, because I do, Michael. I really do, you fishbone.”

I wiped my eyes as if there were tears there, and when I opened them, I saw a surprised Luis and a proud Liana. “Was calling him ‘fishbone’ really necessery? I mean, it was going perfect until you said that,” Luis said.

“I think it was beautiful,” piped Liana. She stood up and clutched my shoulders. “My friend, you are ready.”

“Hell yeah, I am,” I grinned.

“Go get him,” Liana whispered. I nodded and broke the moment as I hopped onto Inferno. Inferno leaped off the edge, and I turned to them.

Luis looked angry. “Isla, we are not done! I came to the decision that that was—”

“Thanks for the help, Luis!” I interrupted him, waving bye to them. “Bye!”

“GO GET HIM, ISLA!” Liana squealed, waving and dancing around, making Luis to facepalm himself.

I couldn’t help but laugh as we made our way back.

We landed outside the clubhouse, and I suddenly ran into the clubhouse, finding Aud, Kate, Aidan, Katina… and no Michael.

I had to take a breath before saying, “Where’s Michael?”

Aud, who was smiling before, looked concerned and answered, “I thought he was looking for you?”

“He was?” I asked. Aww… 

I turned around to go back to Inferno but instead I saw ''Michael. ''Right there. Hopping off Shade. As he saw me, he nearly jumped in surprise. “There you are!” Michael yelped in relief. “I was looking everywhere for you!”

“Michael,” I said seriously. Crap, I almost kneeled. No, I can’t kneel. Too weird, according to Luis. “I am—”

“GUARDIANS!” Vix’s voice suddenly shouted. “GET READY FOR ANOTHER BATTLE! THE UH… BAD GUYS ARE HERE!!!”

I stopped dead in my tracks. “Oh, you gotta be—”

A boulder on fire interrupted me by landing on where I was standing.

I guess I was lucky Michael saved me and pushed me out of the way just in time.
