Newt arrived back to the safe house with the boy who looked at him, but he said nothing. Newt wondered why he did not speak. Newt shook his head and decided to ask Theseus because Newt was not good with humans. Newt opened the front door to be attacked with a hug from Theseus before he pulled him into the house. Newt did not hug back much to the boy's confusion. "Oh, Art, I was so worried. Why did you go there, brother? Some of my men came here claiming that Grindelwald was there. What the hell did you do brother?" Theseus asked pulling his brother out of his arms. Newt looked at him for a few minutes before he looked away.

"Brother, I…. I um, found something worse than beasts in poor conditions," Newt said in a quiet voice. Theseus looked at Newt with a raised eyebrow.

"What do you mean Newt?" Theseus asked however he looked down to see the boy hiding behind Newt. Theseus saw a white mask on the boy. "Who's this?" Theseus asked getting down to meet the amber eyes of the boy. The boy did not say anything as he looked up at Newt.

"I don't know. I was hoping that…..um, you can help," Newt said releasing his hand from the boy's to fidget with his hands. The boy saw this and raised an eyebrow.

'Who are these people? Maybe I can live with them, but I don't think that trust them.' The boy thought nodding and stepped up from his hiding spot. 'Should I talk to them? I don't know think I can trust my voice right now.' The boy thought looking at the tall and older man. he looked about the same age as the man that… no he will not think about that. The two men were brothers it seems. Younger and older.

"Sure, little brother," Theseus said looking up to his brother who did not meet his eyes.

'So, he's not scared of me. Why aren't they scared of me?' the boy sighed and cleared his dry throat. "My….." the boy said in a thick French accent. He cleared his throat once again. However, this led to him into a coughing fit.

"Art can you go get some water for our young friend?" Theseus asked Newt who nodded and walked over to the kitchen. The boy stopped coughing and looked up to Theseus embarrassed. Theseus saw this and nodded. "It's ok, it happens. I'm Theseus can you tell me your name?" Theseus told the boy who nodded slowly and took a deep breath.

"Erik," The boy said simply with Newt walking over to Erik, and Theseus will a glass of water in his hand. The boy took the glass with his bony hand and drank it thirstily "Thank you monsieur," Erik said putting down the glass. "I've not drunk anything since…" Erik cut off and looked at the door nervously. Newt nodded and looked at Theseus who stood up, but he did not say anything. "Please don't send me back there monsieur," Erik pleaded getting down to his knees which his mask still in place. Theseus looked at Newt who sighed.

"We, will not young one. Why don't we show you around the house that we are staying in for a little while?" Theseus said to Erik who got up and nodded slowly but he stayed quiet. "Right, let's do the tour. Newt smiled and looked at his case. Theseus followed his brother's gaze and nodded. "Yes, Newt you can go in your case. You don't have to ask. I'm not…" Theseus was cut off with Newt raising his hand.

"Don't go there, brother. He did not care about us," Newt said opening his case. "Thank you brother," Newt added opening his case and stepped inside.

Erik was started to get tired by the end of the tour, but he wanted to explore. He had to know if there was a piano in this house, but he did not really want to ask because this man seemed so demanding to his little brother and he feared that he will do that do him as well. "So, what do you think?" Theseus asked the boy who adjusted his mask and nodded but he did not say anything. Theseus sighed at this. "You know Erik. It's ok that you don't want to talk. Newt does not talk a lot," Theseus reassured the boy who smiled at him, but he dropped his eyes and sighed. Theseus nodded and reached out to take the boy's hand. "Why don't you get some rest?" Theseus asked the boy who nodded and took Theseus's hand.

"Alright, monsieur," Erik said walking to a room. Theseus led him into the room and his eyes grew wide. 'A real bed. Is this for me? I hope this is not a trick. No one can be with me for long. Maybe they can as long as they don't see my face.' Erik thought looking at Theseus who nodded at the boy who ran over to the bed and climbed on the bed. Theseus pulled the covers down so Erik can get in them.

"Sweet dreams," Theseus said closing the door. Erik did not say anything because he has not had any as this man says 'sweet dreams' in his life. Erik sighed and closed his eyes before he fell asleep.

Theseus closed the door and looked at Newt who was behind him now. "How is he Thee?" Newt asked not meeting his eyes. Theseus sighed and walked away from the door.

"He's well, he's acting like you after mother…. after mother died. Not speaking at and just wanting to cling on someone. Newt I…I think we should call a healer or something," Theseus suggested walking into the living room and sitting down with Newt doing the same. Newt nodded and looked down, but he did not say anything even though Theseus knew that he wanted to say something. "What is it Newt?" Thesaurus asked Newt who sighed and took a breath to calm himself. Theseus saw this and he knew that his brother might be mad right now, so he braced himself for if Newt starting to yell.

"Do you know where I found him Theseus?" Newt asked in a quiet voice. Thesaurus sighed but he did not say anything as Newt looked up to him before he looked away and nodded. "I found him in that circus. He was locked in a bloody cage and I…I saw myself in there Thee. I could not let him…." Newt trailed off and put his head in his hands to hide the angry tears that formed in his eyes, Theseus sighed and stayed in his chair watching his brother. "We should.." Newt shook his head and closed his eyes.

"Art I think we should take him to a healer or have someone come here," Theseus told his brother who nodded and sighed. "He looks like he hasn't eaten in well, a long time," Newt nodded in his hands. He did not trust his voice right now. "I wonder where his parents are. Or if he even has any partners," Theseus wondered out loud. Newt however did not say anything. What the brothers did not realize that little Erik was awake after a nightmare and is watching them through the door.
