Theseus, Newt, and Tina walked down the road to Jacob's bakery, not speaking, not one word to each other. Newt was taking everything in. however, the city seemed familiar to him for some reason. Theseus saw this on his little brother's face. "Do you like New York brother?" Theseus asked Newt who nodded.
"Yes, it's more fascinating then I imagined," Newt said with a smile. Theseus and Tina smiled back.
"Well, here we are," Tina said as she opened the door to the bakery.
Jacob was going over his earnings for the day when the door opened.
"Sorry we are closed," Jacob called from the back when he heard the bell on the door ring.
"Jacob it's me, Tina. I'm here with Newt and his brother. We need help," Tina called back as Jacob walked out of the back.
"Oh, Tina. Hello, what brings you here?" Jacob asked voice breaking when he saw Newt looking around confused. 'He's been here. What happened that day? What did he not tell us when we saved him?' Jacob thought as Theseus walks up to him.
"Hello. I don't think we've met. Theseus Scamander," Theseus held out his hand for Jacob to shake. Jacob took it and nodded.
"Jacob Kowalski. What's wrong with Newt?" Jacob asked looking at his best friend worried. Theseus sighed.
"He does not remember anything. We are trying to find out what happened, so I can get his bloody memory back. The idiot that did it will not give me anything," Theseus said with a little anger in his voice. Jacob nodded in understanding.
"Well before Newt was taken the three of us were in the park looking at the sky. Newt wanted to take the skyline in," Jacob answered looking at Newt who, like always was not looking at him.
"Well then let's go to the park. Newton," Newt looked at his brother and nodded.
"Yes, Theseus?" Newt said looking around taking everything in.
"We are going to the park," Newt nodded feeling like a child again, but why? Why does he feel like a child? He wanted to ask but decided against it. Tina gave Jacob a look of worry which Jacob returned, as they all went out the door.
Newt felt weird as he walked down the road alongside his brother and two other people. Tina and Jacob? Was that his name Jacob? Newt let out a sigh but then something flashed in his mind as they passed a building. It looked familiar to him, he thinks. "Theseus?" Newt said with caution. He is unsure why he is nervous about a building. Theseus looked at him.
"Yes, little brother?" Theseus asked looking at Newt who had a worried look on his face.
"That, that place looks, well feels familiar. I don't know why. Theseus help please," Jacob heard fear in his voice.
"Let's check it out then, come, everyone," Theseus said changing to work mode even though he wants to be there for Newt. His work mode, however, might bring Newt back if he shows what he was like to Newt before this whole mess. Newt, Tina, and Jacob nodded as they all walked into the building.
The man took Newt into a building. Only Newt was not awake to see it. He was, however, awake to see the inside. Merlin did he hate that place. It was so dark and empty. Little did he know that he will not remember this place once he gets out of it. Newt opened his eyes to see the man that took him. There was nothing special about this man, nothing at all. In fact, this man made Newt laugh a little to himself at how ordinary he was. There was one thing however that made Newt shiver, this was his smile. Oh, that evil smile. He will never forget that. How could he? "Hello, Scamander. How are you today?" He laughed. Newt, however, did not say anything nor did he laugh with him. "What's wrong half-blood. Miss your older brother, or girlfriend, or Leta?" Newt looked away from him so he did not see the tears in his eyes.
"Shut up sir," Newt snapped at him. This made the man laugh again. Only this time there was no humor behind it.
"You're going to pay for what you did to the dark wizard back in New York," after the man said this he pulled out his wand. Newt screamed and everything went black.
"You said this place looks familiar little brother?" Theseus asked as they entered the building. Newt looked around and sighed.
"It does but I can't put my wand on it. Sorry Theseus," Theseus sighed also. He was getting a little angry at his brother, but then it's not his fault. "Theseus, we can look around. Maybe something will hit me. I, just remembered that I was in the basement with, with a man, and there was, was, I was screaming," Newt froze after he said this. Theseus saw this as did Jacob and Tina. Newt snapped back a few seconds later. "Right, let's, let's go down stares shall we," Theseus gave Tina and Jacob a worried look and followed Newt down stares.
Newt froze when he walked down into the dark. Newt was not moving, not even when Theseus tapped him on his shoulder. "Newton? Newton?" Theseus called with panic forming inside. Tina and Jacob looked at him also with fear forming inside.
"Newt?" Tina said putting a hand on his shoulder. Newt blinked as tears formed in his eyes.
"I could not stop him. It was my fault Theseus, you wanted to fight him, but I could not lose you too. You're my only family. The one that believes in me anyway. I don't have anyone else," Newt cried as he fell to the floor. Theseus had tears in his eyes.
"Oh, Newton. You're remembering the worsed things first. I'm so sorry," Theseus said as he pulled Newt into his arms. Newt, however, did not try to pull away for he was having a moment of weakness. Newt sighed into his brothers arms and closed his eyes. Jacob nodded as he and Tina watch this beautiful brother moment.
"No," Theseus looked at Jacob, Newt did also. "Theseus is not the only family that believes in you. Tina and I, we believe in you. we are also your family. I know you might not remember that but we are. Friends are family too," Newt smiled at the man that he now sees as a family, even though he does not really know him.
"Y-your right Mr. Kowalski. Sorry, Jacob. Your right," Newt said as Theseus pulled him to his feet. Tina smiled at Newt who looked in her direction but not meeting her eyes as usual.
"Are you going to be ok little brother?" Theseus asked as he pulled out his wand and muttered a spell. Jacob was amazed when a light came out of Theseus's wand.
"Magic never ceases to amaze me," Jacob said with a smile. Theseus and the others smiled back.
They were walking around the basement for what felt like hours. Newt was getting nervous again as they approached the last door at the end of a hall in this long dark basement. It was the last room that they did not check yet. Theseus took the lead and opened the door. Theseus then walked in as the rest followed him in. "Thees?" Newt said voice a little more confident but still filled with fear. Theseus looked to where Newt was looking at.
"Oh, my," Theseus shined his wand at the spot on the floor. "Is," Theseus swallowed. "Is this where he, he hurt you Newt?" Newt looked at the floor where his brother's wand shined. Then Newt froze again.
"Not again," Jacob said slightly worried but annoyed at the same time.
Newt does not know how much he could take this. Newt wanted to call for Theseus but no sound came out of his mouth. His throat closed. Then to his relief, the pain stopped and all Newt could hear other then his ringing ears was the man laughing. "That was fun right, Newton?" Newt did not answer for he could not speak and this was not fun.
"N-No," Newt said after a minute. "That was not fun. If this is a plan to get me to talk about joining or tell you where Dumbledore is, it's not working," Newt said voice strong but weak at the same time. The man however only laughed.
"I think you will and he wants revenge, not you speaking to him," Newt sighed but that only hurt his throat. "You can call to you dear brother. You know the better one. The one who…"
"Shut up. I will not and Theseus will not save me. He's too busy with 'work' to help his weird little brother," Newt said with defeat in his voice. The man took no pity on him all he did was smile and laugh.
"Oh, poor, poor Scamander, no one likes you, do they? The only one that likes you is dead. Oh, boo who boo who," Newt closed his eyes. Then the man pulled out his wand and hurt Newt more. Making Newt scream out in agony. Newt then passed out to the sound of the man laughing.
When Newt woke however he did not know what happened before he passed out. Then the memory came back to him like he was being punched right in the stomach. Newt blinked as the light from the window shined in his eyes. "Ah, hello. looky who's awake," Newt did not say anything. "You're probably wondering what had happened to you right?" Newt did not say anything so he continued. "It's a new spell. I made it. Grindelwald was very pleased with it. Do you want to know what it does?" again Newt did not say anything. This made the man laugh. "I thought you did. You did not need to say it. Anyway, this spell when you use it once it makes you lose your memory and then it comes back once you wake up. However, if you use it twice on the same person it will slowly make you lose everything. Everything and everyone that you love will be gone forever. Well, unless you have someone that cares for you with you, but you said it yourself no one cares about you. I know your thinking: Will I even remember the next hour? The answer is no. You will not everything I told you will be gone from your mind, like a puff of smoke or breath on a mirror or on a cold winter day," Newt looked at him with fear in his eyes.
"What do you mean, I'm thinking that? I, well, maybe I was. You're not going to…" The man laughed cutting Newt off. Then he pulled out his wand again and aimed it at the young Hufflepuff.
"Goodbye, ," Newt screamed again before he passed out.
Newt did not move when Theseus ran up to him. Nor did he move when Tina put a hand on his shoulder. "Newton?" Theseus said voice filled with panic. Jacob looked at his friend and sighed.
"I think we need to get him to a hospital. I know you might not want that Mr. Scamander but…" Jacob trailed off while Tina and Theseus took Newt into their arms.
"Your right Jacob. we can't do this by ourselves. You can still look after him," Theseus sighed at what Tina said and pulled Newt out of Tina's arms and into his own.
"I don't think this is a good idea, but Newton needs help. Fine, but let me send a message to my men first," Jacob and Tina nodded. Theseus muttered into his wand. Jacob was amazed again when a silver lion came out of Theseus's wand. "Bring all Aurors, we found one of Grindelwald's men's hiding place. Newton my little brother is also hurt, so bring a healer we might need to take him to the hospital," after Theseus said this the silver lion ran off into the distance. Theseus closed his eyes and shook Newt a little. However, Newt did not move for a while. When he did however he let out a terrifying scream. Then Newt passed out in his brother's arms.
"Newt!?" Tina's voice broke with tears in her eyes. Theseus sighed and picked up his brother then he held him close.
Theseus's men appeared a few minutes later. "Is everyone here?" Everyone nodded. "Right," Theseus said covering up his own sadness with a demanding tone. Tina and Jacob heard this in his voice. "Some of you search the building and the rest help me take my little brother to the hospital," Theseus demanded. His men all nodded as some of them helped Theseus lower Newt to the floor so they can look him over. While the others walked out of the room.
"Sir, your brother has a serious spell on him. I'll try to put a counter on it, but he needs to go to the hospital," Theseus nodded as he let out a shaky sigh.
"Thank you, Wolf," his healer nodded as he helped Theseus put Newt, who was still out on a stretcher that the healer brought over. Theseus looked down at his little brother before he took one end of the stretcher as Tina took the other end. Theseus sighed again as they all left with a pop.
