Isla

This wasn’t a dragon you see every day.

In fact, this was a dragon that’s species is supposed to be extinct.

I’m not lying, this dragon with purple eyes who has been saving me on my missions, and also my friends, was a…

Night Fury. I’m not crazy. I’m not blind. There was a Thor flippin Night Fury RIGHT THERE in front of me!

I gasped. The Night Fury sat up and stalked to us, growling. A growl a dragon makes when someone is invading their territory. Did Michael know this dragon? Or not? Was Michael bringing me down here to show me a NIGHT FURY or not? Did he bring me here to kill me? WHAT’S HAPPENNING?!

It was so hard to see the supposedly Night Fury, but I saw it’s purple eyes getting closer and closer, about to, I don’t know, KILL US?! “Michael…” I whispered. “Move back slowly…” He didn’t however, but instead, he brought his hand to the Night Fury, trying to calm it down. What is he thinking?! Does he want to get his hand chopped off or something!? Although the Night Fury wasn’t calming down.

And then it leaped.

At us.

I immediately made a move. I pushed Michael to the ground and fell on top of him. I quickly got up off Michael and looked where the dragon was. Weird thing…I didn’t see it anywhere…

Night Furies, I tried to remember facts about Night Furies, but it was hard remembering and thinking when you got one of them who looks like it wants to kill you in a cave with you. Wait, hasn’t this dragon been saving me? Why does it want to kill me all of a sudden? ''Aha! I remember one fact! They can blend in the dark with their pitch black scales! ''

I gazed around me, and Michael quickly got up. “Isla, she won’t hurt you—” he said, but I interrupted him.

“Won’t hurt me?!” I snapped. “Oh ''really?! Sure, I’ll just think a Night Fury for Thor’s sake who is trying to kill me won’t hurt me! ''Shhh!” I ordered him. Michael tried talk to me but I put my hand over his mouth.

“Mhmmwhaphmw!” Michael tried to say, though I left my hand over his mouth. I inspected the cave. It was creepy. Alright, ''very creepy. ''A Night Fury was in the cave with us and now there is nothing but pitch black and silence. I wasn’t planning on killing the Night Fury, gods no, but I got out Cross Bar just in case. I tried to see any purple eyes. Nope. None. Now we should go.

“C’mon, Michael! Let’s go!” I dragged him out of the cave, but before we exited, we heard a growl. The Night Fury is back. And we couldn’t see it.

They can blend in the dark with their pitch black scales…

WHAM!

I felt my hands slip out of Michael’s, and before I knew it, I was tackled to the ground by a great amount of force. I heard a deafening roar, and I closed my eyes. Don’t wanna see my own death…

“NO!” I heard Michael yell at the dragon, and the dragon obeyed and stopped roaring, but was still growling. I opened my eyes to see purple eyes in front of my crystal blue eyes, and the Fury’s head was inches away from mine. I yelped in fear and tried to fight away.

That’s when I stopped.

Looking at this dragon more, why did it seem so familiar?

A quick, small flashback came into my mind while staring at the purple eyes of the Night Fury.

''“Hey, Midnight,” I softly said, placing the tiny dragon in the palm of my hand. She was beautiful! She had purple eyes, and had the biggest dragon smile ever! I loved her already.''

It makes sense…

And makes no sense at the same time…

The Night Fury seemed to stop too and stare at me. It looked deep in thought, and it’s grip on me loosened. I would’ve ran away. I could’ve ran away. But I didn’t. All of these flashbacks filled my mind that I couldn’t move a muscle.

Until—

''A Light Fury came. Growling dangerously. The grown up Fury violently pushed me way from Midnight, then…then…''

Michael was tugging at the Night Fury and trying to get it off me, but it didn’t budge. It stopped growling, and seemed unsure of what to do.

Took Midnight away.

An adoptive parent of Midnight.

And I never saw her again.

Now it makes so much sense. This Night Fury…

Is Midnight.

Midnight was still alright! I’m sure this is her! I’m super sure of it! Those flashbacks I just had was when I was seven years old, when I escaped The Hidden World when I found out about my parents death. When I found my mother, she gave me her necklace which had a Night Fury on it. And what a coincidence, after that I found two Night Furies who had been killed by hunters, but they had an egg, who hadn’t been destroyed by hunters. So I looked after the egg, and when it hatched I called her Midnight, since she was born on exactly 12:00am, but then she got taken away from a Light Fury. This has to be Midnight!

“M-Midnight?” I whispered. The Night Fury’s face wasn’t a hostile face anymore, but instead she put on a huge smile. I was right! It is her! “Midnight!” I yelled happily. “It is you!” I said in joy. Midnight hopped off me and bounced around happily.

“Wait, you know her?” Michael suddenly asked, coming up to me to see if I was OK.

“Yeah!” I answered. Midnight tackled me over again and started licking me. “Oh you are still as cute as the day you hatched!” I said in a voice you say to a puppy dog. “Yes you are! Yes you are! Whose the good, cute dragon? Whose that dragon? You!” Midnight continued licking me.

“I have got no idea on what’s going on…” Michael rubbed his forehead.

“I’ve met Midnight before!”

“I’m sorry what?”

“Long story.” I continued playing with Midnight.

Then—

ROARRRR!

Suddenly, someone threw Midnight off me, slammed her to the ground and held her there. I yelped, getting up. It was Inferno. Protectively guarding me, he roared at Midnight. “Shade!” Michael acted first, who was getting Inferno (sword kind of Inferno) out to get Inferno’s attention off Midnight.

“Inferno!” I yelled. “It’s alright! She is a friend!” Inferno finally calmed down and got off Midnight, although he was still guarding me. Midnight sat up, growling viciously at Inferno, also protective of me, and Michael. “She is a friend,” I told Inferno again. Inferno’s wings dropped and he let out a breath, and nuzzled my hand with his snout, which told me he was sorry. He must of have thought Midnight was attacking me when she tackled me. Inferno inspected Midnight. His jaw dropped and his eyes widened when he looked at her more. Midnight stopped growling when Michael told her something. Inferno seemed like he has seen an angel. I nudged him with my shoulder. “Looks like you got another crush,” I teased. Inferno rolled his eyes. “Gotta up your game with dancing,” I reminded him.

I turned to Michael. “Did you call her ‘Shade’ before?” I asked curiously.

“Yeah. It’s her name,” Michael answered. “Although I guess it’s your choice if you want to call her ‘Midnight’.”

“I’ll think about it,” I explained. I turned my attention back to Midnight and Inferno. The small Typhoomerang nuzzled Midnight and made apologetic noises. Midnight nuzzled back. ''AWWW! ''I fangirled in my head. ''Now I got someone to tease. Revenge time baby! ''“We urgently have to think of a ship name,” I whispered to Michael, giggling.

Michael laughed. “Love at first sight. A beautiful thing.” Inferno and Midnight twined their tails. Michael held my hand. Made me feel safe. “I ship Infernight.”

I laughed. “Isn’t it ‘Infernshade?”

“We can call it whatever we want,” Michael smiled. “Now seriously, I need to know how you met Midnight. Or Shade.”

I chuckled. “Sit down,” I ordered. “This is going to be a long story.”

“So then I never saw Midnight from that day, and I’ve never thought I’d see her again,” I finished Midnight’s and my story, leaving Michael and Inferno just sitting there with their jaws wide open in surprise. I laughed and scratched Midnight under the neck. “So how did you and Midnight meet?” I asked curiously.

“When I say it,” Michael said, “it’ll make a lot of sense. I had an argument…with my…with my dad…I was so angry that I escaped The Hidden World on Fatty, and after a lot of flying, I found hunters. I decided to stop, and later on heard a woman and man scream, and dragons roar soon after. I saw hunters come where I was and they luckily didn’t see me, and I found out they were trying to shoot down a Light Fury.” Michael sighed. “The hunters shot the Light Fury, and the Light Fury dropped something on a tree before it crashed…and…you know…died sadly…” Michael rubbed his head. “I looked in the tree,” he smiled. “And found Shade.” I widened my eyes. Wow.

“So I decided to look after Shade,” Michael continued. “I realized her parents had died, and no one else can look after her, also the hunters would come back for her. That decision I made was something I’d never regret.” He reached over to pat Midnight, Shade…oof OK, Shade is now her name. I’ll call her that now then. Michael added, “The more I was with Shade the more we got closer. It’s like a remake of Great Hiccup Haddock and Great Alpha Toothless. Our friendship and bond will never ever break. I don’t know what I’d do without Shade, and you too, Isla,” he winked at me. I blushed furiously. Inferno growled playfully. “Yes you too, Inferno,” Michael laughed.

“That explains it then!” I explained. “The Light Fury that took Midnight…I meant Shade, away from me was the one you saw that died. And wait, you heard a woman and man scream?”

“Yup…” Michael put his face in his hands. “Just…I had a thought…isn’t it weird and suspicious how two Night Furies died soon after your parents died? I mean, your parents seems to have a thing for Night Furies.” Michael looked at my necklace with a Night Fury on it. “It’s just…”

“Weird,” I finished for him. “I know. I always thought the same thing.” Inferno and Shade ended up running away from us and tackled each other, playing. “Go on, Inferno!” I cheered. “You can win!”

Michael moved closer to me and put his hand over my mouth. “Nah, nah,” he shook his head. “Shade, go on! Beat Inferno!” I laughed and moved his hand from over my mouth. I punched his shoulder gently and pushed him over. “Aww…” Michael whined, staying on the ground.

I giggled and laid down next to him. It was silence (except for the playful roaring of Shade and Inferno) and Michael and I just laid there on the ground and looked at he stars. “So,” I said. “Why did you keep Shade away from everyone? Why keep her a secret? You could of have shown everyone you’ll be an awesome Chief with a Night Fury!”

“It’s for her safety, Isla,” Michael pointed out. “Every morning and night I fly her though. We have known about Harns’ for a long time. We have seen how much men they have got, and how strong and powerful they are. They have hunters, dragon hunters. Not just dragon hunters. But Night Fury hunters too. There are Night Fury hunters everywhere and we just don’t know it. Valen’s father is one of them too! Shade is most likely the last Night Fury, somehow. We’ll become a bigger target…” Michael sighed. “I hope keeping her away from others was the right decision. Fatty visits though.”

I slowly nodded. “Now that makes more sense.”

Michael looked at me. “Really?”

“Yup. Shows how much you care for your dragon.”

“Oh…good…thanks…”

“Michael,” I said. “I know it’s you and Shade who has been saving my friends and I.”

Michael sadly nodded. “Yup, and I’m actually sorry. I didn’t want to keep on saving you without you not knowing who it was. That’s why we are here now. Are you angry?”

“Now I feel like you are just stalking me,” I joked. “But now that you have told me, I’m fine with it.”

Michael smiled. “I just had an idea!” he suddenly said, standing up. “You beat me at everything, Isla! So let’s have a race! A dragon race!”

“You’re so going to lose!” I joked again, hopping on Inferno, who had just lost his play to Shade. I started flying to wherever. And I heard Michael call to me, “You think you really can beat a Night Fury!? Hey! You’re cheating!”

And thirty seconds after that, Michael and Shade were already god knows where in front of us. I just laughed. “I should’ve seen that coming, Ferny,” I patted Inferno under his neck. “Yup, that’s your nickname from now on. Ferny.” Inferno just rolled his eyes, and his face clearly said, “If you start calling me that, I’ll start calling you Isly.”

Inferno spotted Shade on a hidden pillar, and we landed in front of her. “Hey, girl,” I said. “Where is Michael?”

Shade looked in the direction of a house. I heard two people talking. One voice was Michael, and the other was…ugh, Valen…I heard Michael shout, “Get away from me, Valen! I don’t want you!” I then heard Valen shout back, “But I want you!” I smirked. Valen is too desperate. And it explains why Shade is here by herself. Valen was probably here and Michael had to hide Shade and then try to get Valen away. ''Oh well! ''I thought, marching to the random house. ''Better help Michael with telling her off then! I hope Michael is telling her that he doesn’t love her and then I hope Valen will cry like a baby and leaves us alone.''

Forever.

I entered the house, and saw the complete opposite of that.

Michael and my new sworn enemy…

Was hugging each other.

I was jealous. OK, very, VERY jealous. I also felt quite betrayed. They are HUGGING?!

Oh, but trust me, my jealously when they hugged was nothing compared to when they kissed.

Yep, you heard me, they kissed.

On the lips.
