Explosions. Loud ones, louder than before. Falling debris sprayed everywhere, creating even more noise.

"Shit, Tommy, stay here." Jay said, grabbing her sword and shield. Tommy stood as well. "I mean it." The boy looked defiant for a moment, then nodded, and stood back.

Jay slid down the ladder and took off towards the prison. She ran around as much as she could, then dove into the water around the other side.

There was a clear hole in the side, opposite to where the tower was located. She swam as fast as she could muster towards it, pulling herself up onto the stone of the prison. She could see Sam appear from around a corner, eyes wide.

The hole led straight to Dreams cell.

And Dream was nowhere to be found.

"Sam?" Jay yelled. She looked into the cell nearby and cursed. "Sam, what happened?"

He didn't seem to hear her. He was running towards her in a sprint, pulling out his trident.

He neared her with fire in his eyes. She was confused, what was he doing?

"Sam?"

He threw his trident, which caught her arm and pinned her against the wall. She cried out in pain as the sharp edges pierced her arm.

"Sam? What the fu-" The taller man neared her and pushed the trident against her, harder.

"Why are you here?"

"Ow, Sam, stop." She looked to her arm, blood flowing down her arm and dripping to the floor.

"Why are you here?" He asked again, louder this time.

"I-I heard the explosion. Sam, please." She cried, trying to push the trident away. "I heard the explosion and I came to help. Sam, let me go."

"Dream escaped and you just happen to be here." He grabbed her other arm and pinned it to her side, glowering down at her.

"Why would I help Dream escape?" She asked, desperate. "He hurt my little brother. I want to kill the bitch."

"So you let him out to kill him then."

"I didn't let him out at all! Sam, let me go right now or I'll add you to the list!" She sobbed as he removed the trident, and let her go, instantly cradling her arm.

"Jay, let me help-"

"Don't!" She yelled, kicking him away. "Don't touch me." She muttered. She jumped back down into the water, slowly wadding her way back to shore.

When she reached it, she saw Tommy waiting for her.

"What are you doing? I asked you to wait in the tower." She grumbled, letting him take her arm and wrap it in bandages.

"What, and leave you alone? No way." He said, carefully helping her. "What happened?" 

"Dream is gone."

That night, she sat in Snowchester with her family. Tubbo and Ranboo stood pacing, Michael sitting safely on the sofa next to Jay, already asleep in her arms. Tommy was sat in a chair, legs bouncing uncontrollably. Puffy was in the kitchen brewing tea she hoped would help.

"What do we do now?" Tubbo asked after a moment.

"The main thing is keep you guys safe." Jay said. "Everyone over 18 has been notified and we're going to start keeping guard. Everyone under 18 has been told they need to move to Snowchester." She sighed. "So basically, Purpled is gonna move in here. We're going to make a safe room. Somewhere you guys can go in the case that Dream comes after you. I've already heard back from Ponk, Sapnap, Karl, and Quackity that they'll come help guard."

"Sam is trying to find out what happened. Who broke Dream out." Puffy said, handing them all a warm mug. "He's trying to track him down."

"And if he can't?" Tommy asked.

"Well, if he can't then we'll just be ready for him." Jay said.

"I never thought I'd be on the run from Dream again." Tommy muttered.

There was a knock on the door and everyone froze. Jay stood and handed Michael over to Tubbo, who held him close. She grabbed her sword and slowly walked towards the door. She turned the knob and carefully opened the door.

Standing there, in the dark, was Technoblade. She sighed in relief and opened it wider, allowing him in.

"Hey, Techno." She said.

"Everyone okay in here?" He asked as he stepped inside. Behind him was someone else.

Philza.

"Dad." Jay said quietly, allowing him in as well.

"We're fine, Tech." Tommy said quietly, taking a drink of his hot chocolate. Jay didn't realize until now that the children got hot chocolate and everyone else had tea. Just Puffy being a mom, she guessed.

The two older men walked into the living room, and Jay shut and locked the door once more.

"So what's the plan?" Techno asked.

~•~

Jay sighed as she carefully shut the door to Tommys room. She had just finished talking him out of a panic attack, getting him to slowly fall asleep.

She headed back out to the living room, where Puffy, Techno, and Phil were waiting. She sat on the couch next to Puffy, and leaned her head on her shoulder.

"How you doing, hun?" She asked softly.

"'M fine." Jay muttered. "Arm hurts though."

"Yeah, let's get you a new bandage. And some medicine." She said, Techno beating her to standing to get the supplies.

He walked back over with a vial and the new bandages, carefully unwrapping her arm.

"What happened?" He asked, gently pouring the soothing liquid onto the cut.

"Sam." Jay answered. "He thought I was the one that let Dream out."

Techno rewrapped her arm and shook his head.

"That's the most stupid thing I've ever heard."

"Right?" Jay let her eyes fall closed as Puffy wrapped an arm around her.

"Go to sleep, sweetheart. We can talk in the morning."

Before she drifted off, she saw Phil stand up and walk out of the room.

~•~

The next morning, Jay woke up to laughter. There was a blanket laid over her, her armor sitting off to the side on the floor. She lifted her head and looked towards the kitchen, where Tommy was playing with Michael.

She sat up and watched as the small child laughed at Tommys antics.

"You're good with kids." She said as she slowly stood, stretching from sleeping on the couch.

"Don't tell anyone." Tommy said, lifting Michael off the ground.

"Promise." She smiled.

People slowly filed into the kitchen, grabbing any food that was left in the cabinets to sate their hunger.

"I'll go grab some more food later today." Jay mentioned to Puffy, who agreed to go with her. "We're gonna need a lot if we're gonna have all of these people staying here a while."

"Hopefully it won't be too long."

Hiiii. Please don't be mad at me because I'm mad at Sam rn. So he's bad guy now. Hehe.

Hope you all enjoyed.
