Hello! Here is chapter tow, Enjoy!
Chapter Two
Newt
It had been three days since Newt left New York and gotten back safely to London with his precious creatures. He had hoped that everything would just go back to normal, but it didn't. He thought about having to erase Jacob's memory, and leaving all his new found friends back in America. He also thought about the Salem Two boy, the obscuras. He couldn't save him, no matter how hard he had tried, the boy had died. If he could do one thing over again from the past week's events, he would have tried harder to save Credence. He sighed and went back to his book. He was right now working on the 'Hungarian Horntail' section. Normally he would be very excited to be writing this part, but right now he just couldn't focus. He reached into his desk, took out a piece of paper and began to write.
Dear Tina,
Things are not going as well as I had hoped they would be down here. How are things up in New York? Did any of the muggles (Or Non Mages as you call them) remember? Speaking of non mages, how's Jacob? I left him some funds for his bakery; did the bank give him the loan? I hope so. I just can't stop thinking about the obscuras, Credence. I feel like there's something we missed. Maybe it's just me feeling guilty, but I feel like we could still help him somehow. Did you get your job as an Auror back? I hope you did. Until next time,
-Newt
He put the letter in an envelope and called his owl to him. "Bring this to Tina, and don't lose it this time!" he told the owl, tying the letter to its leg and opening the window. He watched as it flew away and then went back to his desk. He wasn't sure why, but he just had this feeling that Credence was still out there and in need of help. After ten more minutes of trying to concentrate on his writing, he finally decided to take a break. He opened up his case and jumped down into his workshop. "Hey guys, you hungry?" he called out to all of his creatures, grabbing the bags of food. Once he was done feeding all of them, he decided to pay the obscuras he had trapped in the case a visit. He cautiously stepped into the cold snowy section of the case and immediately spotted the obscuras. He took out a notebook and began to sketch it. Then he turned the page and began to write. He wrote about how it moved, and about the energy it gave off, both dark and light. Soon he began to shiver and decided it was time to go. He stepped back into the forest section of the bag and decided to visit the Bowtruckles.
Tina
Tina was walking down a side alley on the way back to her house when the letter came. She heard something hit the dumpster next to her. She turned and found herself face to face with an owl. The owl lifted its leg to reveal a letter and continued to stare at Tina. The witch reached down to take the letter, looking at who had sent it. She smiled when she saw it was Newt. She opened the letter and began to read. Her brow furrowed as she read the letter. She rushed home with the letter and owl, wanting to write her response right away. She thought about what Newt had written about Credence. Could he still be out there? If he was then she wanted to find him. If anyone else did, he would definitely be killed. When she had been talking to him while he was in obscuras form he seemed to listen. It was as if he was almost coming back to human form when the Aurors had shone up and ruined everything. She pulled out a piece of paper and began her response.
Dear Newt,
It's great to hear from you again, and yes, Jacob got his bakery. I also got my job back as an auror as a thank you for saving the city. I believe that you are right about Credence, something just seems off about his death. I believe that there is a way that we can find out, I will just need to get some of his DNA and then perform a tracking spell. I will keep you in the loop once I have found out if he is really alive. I know for a fact that he was abused at his foster home, so I will most likely be able to pull some DNA off one of the belts that that demon of a mother whipped him with. I don't think any of the non mages have remembered anything, well except for Jacob. Queenie went to his bakery and he remembered her. At least that's the way she tells it, I have a feeling she used magic though. He is very thankful for the bakery, and has designed a lot of his creations in the shape of your creatures. I will be in touch,
-Tina
She sealed the letter with a wax seal, tied it back onto the owl's leg, and watched it fly off. . She watched as it flew off into the clouded sky for a moment before putting her coat back on. If there was any chance at all that Credence was alive, Queenie and Jacob should know. They were most likely at Jacob's bakery, so she could get the DNA from Credence's old house and bring it to them. Queenie could help her with the spell. Than she would have to send a letter to Newt once she was sure of Credence's location. She ran down to the subway and impatiently drummed her fingers on the train pole while it rumbled down the underground tracks. When she finally reached her stop, she raced out, shoving past people as she went, until she reached Credence's house. She stepped inside and looked around warily. She had a feeling that the children had been relocated after the death of their foster mother, but wasn't completely sure. She searched the house until she found the boy's belt, and as she had suspected it was streaked with blood. She put it in her bag and was about to head to the bakery when she paused outside of a small room with the door hanging ajar. She knew immediately that this room belonged to Credence. She stepped inside and looked around; she had a feeling that if he was still alive, he'd want some of his personal possessions. There weren't many things in there, so she took practically everything. She found some cloths, a wooden box under his bed containing a photo of a smiling woman, and a strange sort of clock. She took the entire box and placed it in her bag as she had a feeling that the box held some significance as well. She than apparated to the alleyway behind the bakery and entered it through the back. She made her way to the kitchen where she found her sister quickly putting together customer orders, even before customers had finished their requests. Tina rolled her eyes. Queenie really needed to work on keeping her mind reading in check.
"Queenie? You have a minute?" Tina asked. Queenie whirled around and smiled happily when she saw Tina. "Tina! What a lovely surprise! Hey Jacob, look who dropped by!" she called to the man at the counter. He turned and waved happily, but could not leave his post due to the long line of customers. "Queenie, I need your help. I think Credence is alive," Tina explained, opening her bag to find the belt. Queenie's eyes widened and she gasped. "But how, why do you think this?" she asked. "We watched him die, we saw him die!"
"We thought we did, but I think that he lived. I went to his house and got some DNA," Tina said holding the belt and gesturing to the blood stains on it. "But I will need some help with a tracking spell. She tried to ignore Queenie's flinch when she saw the blood, but remembered that she had reacted the same way when she first saw it.
"Alright," Queenie murmured, looking around to make sure nobody was watching. "Should I tell Jacob?" she asked quietly.
"Yeah, I think that he could definitely help," Tina replied. "When do you guys close up shop? I want to figure this out as soon as possible."
"Not for a couple more hours," Queenie said. "Oh! I almost forgot! A search for the real Percival Graves is beginning, and they want your help."
"Tell them I'm going to be out of town, but to keep me in the loop," Tina said putting the belt back in her bag. "Alight!" Queenie said, scribbling this down on a piece of paper and tying it to the leg of an owl she had been keeping in the back room. "Oh, and here's Newts address. Write to him when you get the 's going to help us look for Credence as well." "Ok," Queenie said, accepting the paper Tina handed her with Newt's address on it.
Have a good one!
