Isla

“AUDDD IS ALIVE!!!”

Wait, what?

Did I hear that right?

Phhh, surely not! My ears are hearing some random stuff. Or I’m turning into a crazy person.

Actually, let’s face it. I am a crazy person.

So now that Aud is…gone…I don’t have a fellow crazy person…with Aud gone I feel horrible. Like, think of horrible, and times it by like, ten, and that’s how horrible I feel. I shouldn’t of have let her go to capture her father, or I should’ve went with her. I feel like this is all my fault. For some reason. Argh! I always have this daily think about Aud. It hurts me. Imagine how Rita will feel—

WHAM!

I yelled as I fell to the ground. It didn’t hurt, but it certainly startled me. And surprised me. Why? Well, Michael has finally tackled me to the ground, and I didn’t see it coming.

Another reason on how Aud’s death affected me.

Michael grabbed my hands and held them tight behind my back while I was on my belly on the ground. “Yes!” he cheered. “Could it be? I, Michael Haddock, has actually tackled a quick, strong, brave warrior to the ground and she didn’t see it coming? Is this possible?” he joked.

“Oh, nonsense!” I chuckled. “I’ve been tackled before! I’m not always a good fighter!”

“That’s…quite hard to believe,” Michael rolled his eyes.

“Well, thanks for calling me a quick, strong, brave warrior,” I smirked. His face went all red, or was it just from the sun? Michael let go of me and helped me up. I sighed, still thinking about Aud.

“Hey,” Michael said softly. “I know it must be hard for you. I could tell Aud and you got along well,” he took a deep breath. “So it’s obvious that you are heartbroken. Sad. Outraged. Listen, I’m not meaning this to sound like we are…more than friends, but I absolutely hate seeing you like this. It breaks MY heart seeing you like this. I just want you to be happy. That’s all I want. For you to be happy. So…” he scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. “If you need or want anything, I’ll always be here for you. I know what it’s like loosing a best friend. So I want to help you. I really do, Isla. Forever—”

I broke him off by giving him a hug. A hug that made me feel safer, calmer, I’ll admit it, ''happier. ''I felt a tear go down my cheek. Michael was definitely surprised. Though soon after he rested his hand on my hair, stroking it, and his other hand around my waist. “Thank you, Michael,” I quietly said. “For everything. For being there. For making me happy. I really appreciate it.”

I could tell Michael had a smile that was so long, nobody could smile bigger. “Anything for you, m’lady,” he calmly said.

“Oh now we are doing nicknames from Hiccup and Astrid, right, fishbone?” I looked up at him. I was right. That smile was big. I also saw Inferno and Fatty over his shoulder, dancing around and celebrating.

This is just great. Our own dragons have weird brains and is teaming up together to make the Michla ship grow bigger and sail.

Oh Thor…I better not have admitted I have accepted Michla…

“You asked for it,” he challenged.

Suddenly, we heard a bit of screaming and chanting. I sighed and broke away from the hug. “We should have a break and see what they are doing,” I suggested. Michael’s face easily looked like, “Why did our hug have to get interrupted?”

As we awkwardly and silently walked back to the clubhouse, I was so confused.

Rita was extremely happy.

Kate and her were cheering something.

And my ears weren’t letting me down and I actually heard something that made me feel like I can explode into nothing but happiness.

Aud is alive.

AUD IS FREAKIN ALIVE!!!

We can get her back! We can get those laughs together again, have fun, train with each other, get annoyed at her when she teases Michael and I.

Actually, I’m not excited for that last thought.

But the main point is, is that AUD IS STILL ALIVE!!!

I joined in the celebrating and dancing. I cheered and laughed. It felt great after a few days of mourning of Aud’s now not death. Oooo, I think I beat Michael with that smile. I think my smile was bigger than his was before. Hehe…

When we were done our crazy thing of whatever, the boys were just there, amused and confused of how us girls are like. “You guys are crazy,” Michael laughed. I jabbed him in the side. He chuckled and looked really happy too. Probably happy that Aud is actually alive, and happy that I’m happy. (I’m guessing after our conversation before.)

“Wait. What are we doing? She is still with that jerk face. We have to get her back!!!” Rita remembered, marching out of the door. ''That’s the spirit, Rita! ''I thought. ''I like it! Let’s go get her! ''

“Woah, woah, woah you two! We need a proper plan before we do anything. Vix knows her whereabouts so give me a half hour to just put a plan together with him. Okay?” Aidan ordered, grabbing Rita, and with Michael grabbing…me…

''OK, fine, you’re right, Aidan. I know it should be a good plan.''

''So, when it’s rescue time. It’s time for revenge and getting our friend back.''

''This is it. We are here. Where Aud is. Where stupid Harns’ is. This is not a dream.''

''This is real. It’s happening right now. A battle.''

While Rita and I were waiting for Katina and Vix to get the guard’s attention, I thought back to earlier.

''“Isla, just promise me you’ll be OK,” Michael worriedly ordered me. I sighed.''

''“Maybe I will, maybe I won’t. But I don’t care if I get hurt. I don’t care if I die. I just want to make sure Aud gets back safely,” I sadly said. Michael looked down.''

''“I should’ve seen that coming,” he mumbled. “OK, but try not to die? And make sure Aud is alright.”''

''“Sure thing, Haddock,” I smiled. “Though you really worry if I die, don’t you?”''

''Michael scratched the back of his head. “Nooooo…I just need a trainer to train me for Chief.”''

''I rolled my eyes and chuckled. “Yeah right.” I hopped on Inferno, who was nuzzling Fatty goodbye. “Well, see you later, maybe.”''

''“Goodbye, Isla. Be safe.”''

Now in present time, I thought how he really cares for me. I really appreciated it. It was…I don’t know how to describe it…

“You ready?” Rita asked me, snapping me from my thoughts. I nodded and did the hand signal for, “Fire”. Inferno and Nebbie fired the guards quickly, knocking them out. We both ran to the direction of where Aud is. I looked back, only to see a guard catching up to us, a bow in his hands. I got out my crossbow too (I didn’t bring Cross Bar this time). Then, in a sudden, from the shadows, something snatched the guard and immediately pulled him into the shadows. I heard a yell, then silence.

What in the name of— My thoughts got interrupted by someone whispering, “Duck”, to me. I had no idea who it was, but I ducked anyway. I figured this someone may be helping me. Again from the shadows, came someone on a…dragon, maybe, fly extremely fast past me and pick up a guard who was secretly behind me, who was about to…gee! Chop off my neck! The dragon flew up with the guard and dropped him somewhere else. I had no idea what the dragon was, but let me tell you, it was fast. So fast that I didn’t see what it looked like. Though…did I dee purple eyes? Whatever it was, it saved my head, and my life.

“Isla!” Rita whispered-called to me. I whipped around to face her, breathing heavily in fear, still in wonder on what had just happened. I nodded and followed her to the exact person I’d die for just to see if she was alright.

Aud.

She was there, but with bruises and scratched and blood all over her. She looked horrible, scared, painful, but when she saw us, she looked happy, confused, excited. That smile made my day. “Rita!?” she gasped.

“I’m here Aud. You didn’t think I would leave you? Right?” Rita assured her, with another smile that made my day. She didn’t hug her, which told me that I shouldn’t hug Aud, because I was ready to hug her to death.

“Isla!!!” Aud said happily. My smile got even bigger. I was extremely glad and happy to have her back. No words can describe my feelings.

“You know I’m never gonna let you out of my sight again. Right?” I said, joining Rita with the head patting. Afterwards, Aidan came, asking if we were ready to come back. I got a blanket and we all helped get Aud on there. Then we immediately flew back away from Harns’ base and to the hospital. I looked behind me to check if anyone was following us, and if I could see this mysterious person on the mysterious dragon. Nope. No sign of any of them. We entered the hospital having to leave Aud while the doctors work on her.

Finally, when we were allowed to come in see Aud, Rita and I came in first. Aud was still sleeping, but later on she woke up. “Thor, that’s a lot of bandages…” she muttered. I snorted.

“Yeah. Girl, I got to train you better. Until then, you are going on a leash,” I joked. Man, it felt good to joke around with her.

“Oh boy…just what I need…” Aud smirked.

After more talking, (and laughing for me, I don’t know why, but Aud had a name for Harn, Mr Ugly Yellow Teeth. Haha…), Michael and I had to go. Yes, Michael had came in too. He was glad that both Aud and I were OK. I suddenly  noticed a fairly big, deep scratch on his arm, and one on his neck…

Though it was funny, Michael brought flowers for Aud, just a little gift, but Aud thought it was for me. Oh Thor…it was funny and embarrassing…

We exited the hospital and I sighed. I wished I can stay with Aud. “Hey!” Michael cheered. “You got Aud back!”

“Yeeeeeesss! If this is a dream, I’ll go kill someone. I hope this isn’t a dream,” I chuckled. Michael bumped into me, purposefully. “What was that for?” I asked, ready to push him into the bin. He laughed, but also sounded worried if he was going to cop it.

“Did you feel that?” he asked.

“Yes.”

“Then it’s no dream.”

I smiled and moved closer to Michael so our shoulders touched.

“I’m glad this isn’t a dream.”

Man, this was rushed. Sorry about that. And it was long. Sorry about that too.
