Sorry it has been so long. College homework has really piled up and I had a harder time writing this chapter, but I hope you like it. Please leave a comment and tell me what you think of the story. Thank you.
Newt can't seem to move, as he looks down, he knows she is gone. "Fear Mr. Scamander is what drove to this dramatic end." Grindelwald says as he looks down at Newt who is sitting next to the hole. With the wave of his wand he closes the hole and fixes the floor. Newt glares at Grindelwald trying to decide what he should do next.
"Newt?" Queenie asks as she walks down the stairs reading Newts thoughts, hearing him run through the events, that moment of watching her fall out of his grasp many times in the last few days. Those moments of fear and anger he had towards Grindelwald all boiling up to the surface.
"For all of you still here, Queenie, the younger sister of such a weak and naïve wizard. Madam Piquiry, the one that thought a plan of attack was a good answer. Dumbledore, the one who couldn't move against me to save a young soul. The Scamander's, one who was smart to join my side and one who will now join his friend." Grindelwald says as he points his wand at a defenseless Newt.
"My brother would not be happy about this right now." Newt says trying to call Grindelwald's bluff but in the back of his mind he wonders if this what he deserves. He lost a wizard of who he loved and let down many throughout his life. But the thought crossed his mind that at the moment Grindelwald would get away with it because no one in the room is raising a wand towards him, not after the events that just happened. Newt decided that fighting for his life and trying to defeat Grindelwald would avenge Tina.
"What your brother doesn't know won't hurt him." Grindelwald says as a light beam from his wand towards heads towards Newt, however, with quick reflexes Newt blocks his curse and in doing so stands up wand drawn ready for a fight. "Looks like the fear is being pushed away. My dear boy that is what I wanted for you." As he says that Newt shoots a jinx at Grindelwald giving off the hint that he is not interested in anything he has to say further.
Queenie watches as Newt becomes more and more focused on the spells to cast, looking over she see Abernathy watching from afar and decides that he deserves to get a spell thrown at him. Running up the stairs and around she comes to the other side where she is behind him. "Petrificus totalis." Queenie whispers and with one motion Abernathy is frozen falling backwards. "That's what you get for hurting my sister." Queenie says bending of him. Lights flash on the side of Queenie's eyes and she sees a battle between Newt and Grindelwald break out.
A spell hits Newt causing him to fly back. "You think that any of you in this room can defeat me? I am the greatest wizard that has ever lived, and my revolution will change the world and you can either all join me or perish much like your fellow wizard did. There is a purpose that I have been given and not even you Newton Scamander can change. Your creatures could be vital with our knowledge and power we could have created something great, but she had to interfere with out plans, she had to try and stop me before I could get to you. This whole mess is her fault. You both are so dependent on saving each other you actually went as far as to die for each other. She died because of your fear, the fear you saw in your nightmares. Well guess what Mr. Scamander they came true, your world is crumbling around you now because the one person who truly understood you is now dead and you will either die with her or join me and get past that pain." Grindelwald says walking around in a circle.
As Newt lays there he knows defeat could be in his future, but he couldn't let him escape He had to be strong because he knows that he is on his own now. Standing up he begins to say, "You know what, yeah my fear drove her to try and protect me but let me tell you something. If it were reversed and she were having the nightmares and I found a note written to her I would have done the same thing to protect her. As much as I didn't want to lose her, I would have died for her too. That is a sacrifice you will never understand because you don't know how to love anything but your own ambitions and that will be your downfall." Newt says. The fear in his stomach began to disappear as those words left his mouth, as the words circled around him the death of Tina became less painful because he knew in his heart and mind he would have done the same thing.
"Well then Newt, looks like you will be joining her." Grindelwald says raising his wand. As he does so Newts grip around his loosens.
"Gladly." Newt says, as he closes his eyes he knows that this will be the end. As Grindelwald raised his wand ready for the curse that would end life a spell was shot from the corner of the room.
"Reducto!" Someone yells from afar. As everyone turns to look they all gasp at the sight.
"It can't be." Newt says turning around.
Oh my gosh what a chapter. There is always room for another chapter or two. We are over the hump and now towards the final soon. I hope you all have enjoyed this story. Please let me know what you have thought about it so far. I really love feedback. Thank you all for being so patient with this chapter I know it has been a while.
