Author Note: Here's the fourth chapter! This is going to be longer than the third real chapter at least, so here you guys go! Also in this chapter, I get to make a real chapter without a cliffhanger, kind of. Sorry for all these cliffhangers, I promise I won't imitate Rick Riordan anymore!

The Author

KL: Haven't we served you pretty well? I mean, we got you all the way to the fourth chapter...

TA: Yeah, yeah, sure thing. Here, have some virtual cookies or whatever.

SC: You should be nicer to us, or we'll quit!

TA: :gasp: You wouldn't!

BS: Nah, you're right, we wouldn't really. Right guys?

MA: Eh, maybe, if the mood strikes me.

TA: Great, so I've got a bunch of inconstant Muses. Just great.

I stopped short, waiting for the Aurors to make the first move. Their wands were all out, and they looked rather trigger-happy. I started to get nervous, nobody was making a sound or a move.

Sure, birds were chirping and the wind was whistling through the trees, but the Aurors looked like they were practically made of stone. I tried to move left to get around them. Eyes and wands moved with me.

Suddenly, an Auror stepped out of the crowd and approached me. He had sandy hair and seemed to be really tall. He was dressed in the scarlet robes of a Negotiator-Auror. "It's all right," he said.

Was this human being actually trying to negotiate with me? And if so, for what would he be negotiating for? I had nothing with me. Did they just want Credence back? I decided that that was what the Aurors wanted. "Don't worry, I left Credence at his house," I tried to say.

However, all that came out of my mouth were the chitters that all Obscuri talked in. No human could understand our language. I would have to either communicate in some other way or shift to my human form and actually talk to them.

Only one problem; my human disguise was so weak, it would probably die if it were to be hit with a single spell. It was either fight in my Obscurus form and probably accidentally spill my blood on the ground or fight in human form and be killed.

Obscurus blood has extremely high magical abilities; there was no way that I could let wizards get ahold of it. It was always used for high-risk Dark Magic rituals, and I couldn't stand the thought of exposing the Obscuri or of my blood being used in foul magic. I was trapped between a rock and a hard place, at least that's what a No-Maj would say.

Finally, in my pure desperation, I tried to communicate the need for a large, open place. The request hit the Auror like a flash and he went back into the hostile crowd, probably to report to his boss.

After a long pause, he came back out and I could just barely make out the tiniest of head shakes. The answer was "no" then. I sighed, quite tired of this game that these Aurors were playing with me.

I was going to lose my patience here if this guy just didn't comply. How was I supposed to get across that I didn't mean them any harm? The point that I wasn't holding Credence hostage. These Aurors must be some of the type that only understand fighting.

Fine, I would give them a fight that they would never forget. My Obscurus instincts took over and I sent a small crackle of lightning inside of myself, just to give the Aurors a fair warning. Every single one of them pulled out their wands and trained them on me.

A puffed up and tried to make myself seem intimidating, although it probably only scared the newbies in the group. An Auror in black robes shot first. A small silver spell, one that looked like it wouldn't do much damage, shot straight into me.

A flash of red at the edge of my vision let me know that the spell had been lucky. It had hit one of my organs and my vitals were starting to fluctuate. Great, just what I needed. I was going to be Umbram Saeculi's Hospital Ward for a long amount of time. Some of my blood hit the ground and I knew that Wallerment, the Obscurus King, was going to have my head for this catastrophe.

I swarmed forward and managed to hit several of the Aurors. While I was looking down in wonder at the damage that I had done, several more Aurors shot more silvery spells into me and I roared in pain.

It was excruciating, and beautiful at the same time. The pain sharpened my senses and made my aware of my surroundings. There was a small break in the crowd of Aurors. While humans may be very smart, they forgot one very important thing.

Obscuri weren't chained to the ground. We could fly, and we could go up. I could see the sky and I took the chance for escape. I flew up into the sky and saw that many of the humans down on the ground looking rather pissed off.

I only had one trick left to use. A small ball of lightning wrapped in dark mist. It was invented for the purpose of knocking out a large group of enemies; perfect for this sort of situation. It looked like a small grenade. The Obscuri called it: Tenebrarum Magnarum Cadens or Darkness Falling. I pulled the small pin and let it drop.

The last thing that I saw before the flash were the Aurors freaking out. I laughed slightly to myself, but stopped when my injuries started to throb. I flew down lower, all the way to the other end of Central Park. Finally, I was able to open up the Portal to safety.

ooOO00OOoo

I emerged back from the Portal into the same dark void where I now realized the I had met the Obscurus King. Just like last time, I was glowing slightly and there was a throne cloaked in shadows before me. I still had the irrational urge to bow. I bowed and waited for the King to speak.

Wallerment got up and strode over to me. The realization that I was now in human form shocked me; did this room have magical powers or something? I could see his feet at the edge of my vision now. He knelt down and pulled my chin up with his pointer finger.

"How was your mission? Did you succeed?"he asked me. The King sounded worried about me, and I felt bad for making him stressed. Goodness knows that he had enough to deal with already.

"Sir, Credence was saved and I have prevented the wizards from learning that Obscuri exist," I said, hesitant because I wasn't telling the whole truth. Perhaps the King would be disappointed in me?

"Don't worry. The wizards already know about the existence of the Obscuri. Well, at least some do. For instance, a certain Newt Scamander and one Percival Graves. You have not done anything wrong, just hastened the coming of an already fated event." The King stood up and removed his finger from where he had been holding it.

"But sir, I just exposed our very existence to a new group of Aurors! Aren't you just the least but frustrated with me?" It's not that I wanted to get in trouble, I just wanted to know if there was anything that I could do to fix what I had screwed up.

"Again, child, there is no need to worry. I will take care of this. You performed admirably, even using the new gadget that you were provided wisely. I am proud of you, very proud. Now, go get yourself some medical treatment from the Hospital Ward. I will send something over for you later. For now though, rest."

I bowed again and left. I had the feeling that I wasn't quite done with this "mission". I ran out of the same Portal that I had used to enter the King's realm earlier. I found myself back in my Obscurus form at my Shadowmaker Watcher, and with my old form, my injuries came back. Somehow, the King had wiped them from my body when I had first arrived back in Umbram Saeculi.

Now though, they were back, and they hurt like hell. I ran from my Shadowmaker Watcher straight to the Hospital Ward. As I rushed in, I briefly noticed that I was now practically leaking blood all over the floor. As I tried to make the last few steps into the Emergency Ward, my wounds started to throb harder and harder. The pain was getting to be too much for me to handle.

The last thing that I saw were several Medic Obscuri hurrying out to my position on the floor. "About time you got out here," I muttered softly. As I blacked out, the floor rushed up into my vision to greet me with peaceful blackness.
