24 hours till Blood moon

Schlatt, Zarya and Night were on the outskirts of the village when they could hear someone screaming. "What is that?!" Zarya whispered cautiously, Night looked up and saw black smoke and moved towards the action "Get down!" Night whispered harshly. They ducked in a group of bushes and saw royal guards burning down houses in the village. You could barely see the opposites and SMP members. "WHERE ARE THEY!!! TELL US WHERE THEY ARE AND WE WILL LET YOU GO! REFUSE AND I START TO KILL PEOPLE OF YOUR VILLAGE!" A guard yelled, a little girl from the village was brought out in front of everyone. Her mother was being held back while she yelled bloody murder for her daughter "If you don't tell us where they are I will kill her." He looked around the crowd. "3!" Night handed Schlatt the dragon's blood "2" "Stay hidden," Night whispered. "2!" "Keep to the plan." "1!" 

Night came out of hiding pulling the attention towards him, as the man swung down on the child Zarya pushed her out of the way letting the sword make a shallow cut on her arm. "Let them go now." Night said in a assertive tone, the guard held a cocky smile "Both of you come with us or we kill one of your friends. No fighting, just give up and we will let them go" Zarya joined Night in front of the man "Make the deal and then we will" Zarya and the guard shook hands forming a seal around their hands briefly. Night and Zarya got on their knees and put their hands behind their heads letting guards handcuff them with power resistant cuffs. Night and Zarya were taken to a wagon, they looked back one last time at their friends. Seeing their look of sadness and guilt as they were taken away. The guards retreated after the wagon following it back to the kingdom. It took all night to stop the fires in the village and arrive at the castle.

19 hours till Blood moon

 Night and Zarya were escorted to the prison, the prison was in the sky above the clouds with a transport to and from the castle. Inmates watched the two criminals return. People stuck there ever since Night and Zarya escape watched the them with solemn expressions. Night and Zarya had all weapons their weapons still and placed in their old cell, it was pitch black except for a slit in the door where guards could look in on them. They couldn't use their weapons because the cuffs prevented any type of summoning magic. The smell of blood engulfed the room, Night and Zarya had vivid flashbacks of the past.

Night had been taken to interrogation for the 3rd time that week, it was really a time the guards got to use you as a punching bag and if you survived you got to return another day or he was used to fight other inmates for the entertainment of the guards. Zarya had to make sure Night didn't die so she took care of his wounds and made sure he didn't bleed to death, when Night was in interrogation  Zarya would be target practice in an unfair game of  tag, she would have chains holding her down as she ran through the training room dodging arrows. Their year of prison was worse then hell. Many days they were never fed so it made fighting back worse. That day they escaped was due to luck and luck alone, a new guard left the key out and Zarya swiped it before they noticed when she was playing shoot the target one day. Night had almost died that day he had a broken wrist and arm. His hand was sprained and he could barely breath correctly from the bruising on his face. Zarya managed to receive help from some maids and got her out of the castle with a unconscious Night, her ankle may have been sprained from running and she had wounds from the arrows but she didn't stop, it was their chance at freedom and they were going to take it.

The opposites and SMP members were back at the base watching the flashback and what the cell looked like, Night and Zarya couldn't hear them but the team and SMP members could see whatever they saw. SMP members wore a horrified expression on their faces as they watched Night's past. The team looked uneasy for they had heard they story's but never imagined this.

Night slid down the wall opposite from the one Zarya was sitting at. "How are we going to get out of here?" No answer "Zarya? Are you goo-" "NO! No. I am not good, I am not fine I am back in the one place that gave me a reason to be afraid of humanity. I trusted someone with my heart and they betrayed me and left me to die in a place worse then hell. So no I am not good!" Zarya snapped and was holding the front of Night's shirt. Zarya apologized before settling back in her spot. Night paid no attention to her outburst only knowing it would cause more trouble "I think if we use it we can break out...literately" Zarya gave an airy chuckle "Yeah right, we may have power but not that much" Night moved towards Zarya's wall feeling around for the cool material. "It won't hurt to try will it?" 

15 hours till Blood moon

"Night, we have been trying for almost 4 hours. We are not powerful enough." Zarya and Night were almost blacking out from exhaustion from magic use. "One more time" Night said with heavy breath's. Zarya and Night focused and did one last try everyone in the head quarters could head the cracking before they heard Night and Zarya coughing and gasping. Night and Zarya propped themselves up against opposite walls "We can't do it...we need to stop" Night groaned in agreement. Silence took  over the cell. "We can't give up can we...this is the only way to get out isn't it" Zarya asked "Yep. For now let's rest" Silence resumed in the cell.

13 hours till Blood moon 

Night and Zarya gave up, they rested and tried again. "Can you sing me a song...before our ultimate demise" Night asked "No." Zarya said quickly, Night sighed but stayed quiet. 

"Fine..." 

Zarya said quietly, after all what's the harm. They are going to be killed anyway.

(Bold=Zarya, Underline/Bold=Both, Underline=Night)

Thought I found a way
Thought I found a way out (found)
But you never go away (never go away)
So I guess I gotta stay now


Oh, I hope someday I'll make it out of here
Even if it takes all night or a hundred years
Need a place to hide, but I can't find one near
Wanna feel alive, outside I can't fight my fear

-Crack-

Isn't it lovely? All alone
Heart made of glass, my mind of stone

Tear me to pieces, skin to bone

Hello, welcome home

-Crack-

Walking out of time
Looking for a better place (looking for a better place)

Something's on my mind
Always in my head space

But I know someday I'll make it out of here
Even if it takes all night or a hundred years
Need a place to hide, but I can't find one near
Wanna feel alive outside I can't fight my fear


Isn't it lovely? All alone
Heart made of glass, my mind of stone
Tear me to pieces, skin to bone
Hello. Welcome home


Whoa, yeah
Yeah, ah
Whoa, whoa

Hello, welcome home 

They saw little spirits floating around the room they were white and looked like fire and brought light around the room, you could see dried blood staining the floors. "Jump up and down." Zarya said with a crazed gleam "What?" "Jump!" She barked. They jumped up and down and the room started to crack, the walls and ceiling were letting tiny rocks fall. "On 3...1...2...3!" Using some magic the floor cracked and they were free falling through the clouds. Passing through the clouds they could see the ocean. Night moved towards Zarya and shouted as loud as he could "WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF NO WHERE!!!" Zarya and Night linked arms so they wouldn't float away from each other "WERE SOMEWHERE!!!!" Zarya pointed towards a ship...a pirate ship. 

Night and Zarya aimed as close as the could get to that ship before they hit the water. The impact hurt but still let them live so a win-win. The ship came closer and closer to the two criminals treading water. The pirate ship threw a net overboard and scooped up the two, and brought them on board the ship. "Who the hell are you mate?" A voice-most likely the captain-shouted at them, "I am Nightmare and this is my lovely companion Zarya" The pirates passed around a laugh "Nightmare and Zarya are legends made up to scare children...now who are you?" Zarya and Nightmare scoffed "I told you we are Nightmare and Zarya, we let ourselves get caught so our village would survive. Ask Peter Jones! He can verify." Night said, the captain left and returned later. 

11 hours till Blood moon

"Let 'em down, Peter Jones has vouched for them" one of the crew members cut down the net letting Night and Zarya land not so gracefully on the deck. "Do you think you could help us get these cuffs off?" The captain came up and examined the cuffs "I could...but it would take an hour or 2 to make the tool that could get 'em off. That all right with you?" Night sighed not wanting to lose any more time. "That works fine. We can find our way home after that."  

10 hours till Blood moon

Night and Raven were watching the crew prepare drinks since it was turning dark out already even though it was only 2pm because the blood moon brings night early. The crew started to sing old pirate songs "AY! Why don't we have the guests of honor sing us a little tune?!" The crew whistled and whooped, Night nudged Zarya towards them. Zarya was picked up by one of the crew mates and put on a makeshift platform. Some pirates had instruments out ready to follow her lead, "um, uh I guess give me a beat?" Zarya said unsure.

(Ready to play! Also check out this artist she has amazing songs)

Slowly the beat started, Zarya tapped her foot on the ground. Wheels turning in her head as she thought of what to sing. With a deep breath Zarya started to sing. 

There once was a ship that put to sea
The name of the ship was the Billy of Tea
The winds blew up, her bow dipped down
O blow, my bully boys, blow (Huh!)

The pirates watch Zarya start to sing while the crew stared in awe as she sang.

Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguin' is done
We'll take our leave and go

Pirates start to get up and dance with each other while some disappeared to grab the rum.

She'd not been two weeks from shore
When down on her, a right whale bore
The captain called all hands and swore
He'd take that whale in tow (Huh!)

The crew passed around mugs and filling them with rum as they danced and drank while Zarya danced around with them.

Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguin' is done
We'll take our leave and go


The crew were now tipsy and started to dance wildly around while laughing with each other. Zarya was singing and dancing with a young boy pirate. 

Before the boat had hit the water
The whale's tail came up and caught her
All hands to the side, harpooned and fought her
When she dived down low (Huh!)

They cheered to the beat of the music before resuming dancing.

Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguin' is done
We'll take our leave and go


The Captain came out of his quarters to find his crew drunkenly dancing and the infamous Zarya joining in while singing.

No line was cut, no whale was freed
The Captain's mind was not of greed
But he belonged to the whaleman's creed
She took that ship in tow (Huh!)


The crew passes the Captain rum and he sits by Night who was smiling and enjoying the show.

Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguin' is done
We'll take our leave and go


Zarya stole a sword from a crew mate started to do some tricks and playing around with some moves.

For forty days, or even more
The line went slack, then tight once more
All boats were lost, there were only four
But still that whale did go (Huh!)


Zarya finishes the verse and tosses the crew mate his sword on the beat, winking then resuming her little dance and song.

Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguin' is done
We'll take our leave and go


Pirates bring Night out who had a chugging contest with Zarya and the Captain. While other were cheering them on and some singing.

As far as I've heard, the fight's still on
The line's not cut and the whale's not gone
The Wellerman makes his regular call
To encourage the Captain, crew, and all (Huh!)


The crew settled down and stomped on beat together while Zarya was back on the makeshift stage looking at the crew mates before jumping of and danced again.

Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguin' is done
We'll take our leave and go
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguin' is done
We'll take our leave and go

Night was pulled in by Zarya and started to dance with her and the crew. The Captain was pulled aside by the crew mate that was working on the tool. As the music settled down everyone found themselves celebrating and smiling at their joyous moment. "Night, Zarya the tool is finished. I hope to see you two again, if you need anything don't be afraid to ask you are always welcome onboard." The captain cut through the cuffs and watch them fall to the ground. Zarya handed him a coin "Use this if you need us to call a favor, it works both way's so don't worry we will come back to drink again" 

Night and Zarya said goodbye to the crew and took off with their magic heading back to the land. The crew watched the criminals fade into the sky before resuming their work on board.
