cloud passed by, destroying everything in its path. Newt stepped on the ledge of the same rooftop, everyone's eyes on the Obscurus as Teddy stood by Newt's side.

"Is that the Obscurial thing...?" Jacob asked in a scared tone.

"Sadly yes, Mr. Kowalski." Teddy replied, her brown eyes following the Obscurus' movements.

"That's more powerful than any Obscurial I've even heard of." Newt says.

Teddy turns to Tina and takes off her silver chain from her wrists. Teddy takes Tina's hand and opens her palm, placing the bracelet in Tina's palm. A sad smile fell on her lips as she began to close Tina's palm with her own, softly squeezing it.

"If I don't come back... please take this to my mother's grave." Teddy looks into Tina's eyes, speaking softly. Tina looked back sadly, her head quickly shaking in protest.

"You're not going alone." Newt takes her arm, knowing that she will leave before they have the chance to say goodbye.

Plus he knew it was useless to fight with her about this. They ignore the tingling feeling as they stare deeply into each others eyes. They pry away from each other as Newt looks at Tina.

"In case I don't come back, look after my creatures." Teddy watched as Newt handed Tina a small brown journal. Tina looked at the both of them in shock and sadness.

Teddy looked away from them and focused her attention on the Obscurus. She looked at Newt who stood next to her. He took ahold of her hand and nodded at her, wondering if she was ready. Teddy nodded back in response, softy gripping on his hand as they jumped of the building.

"Newt! Teddy!" Tina yelled, but it was too late, they already disapparted.

They apparted on the streets, Newt quickly pulling Teddy near him so they are hidden behind a car. Teddy carefully peers around and finds her dad yelling at the Obscurus.

"You've survived so long, with this inside of you Credence,"

Teddy and Newt glanced at each other as she grumbles, "What are you doing?"

Credence, in his Obscurus form was scary as hell. Teddy felt her heart bead rapidly against her chest as she just stared at it. The black-like cloud resembleda black hole for some reason.

Suddenly Credence tries to attack her father. Teddy's quick on her feet and runs over to her father, ignoring Newts yells. She might hate him for what he has said and done, but there was no way in hell would she let him die on her watch.

"Stop!" Teddy held her wand out in front of her as she tries to shield her father from Credence.

"Red, don't do this." Teddy pleas as Percival stands up slowly.

Credence listens to her though. He leaves only to cause more destruction. Teddy looks at her father and points her wand at him.

"You aren't off the hook, father." She only gets a stern look and laugh from her dad.

"That's cute, Theodora. Very cute." In a quick flash her points a spell at her, which she lucky deflects.

But Teddy was left confused at this point. Her dad never called her by her full name, they both agreed that it was a fucking mouthful. Her eyebrows furrowed and saw Tina pop out of no where, her wand out as well.

"Mr. Graves." Tina said sternly.

Percival smirks slightly and then shoots a spell at Tina. Tina shoots another and it goes back and forth for a while. Teddy watches with a conflicted feeling in her stomach. Her best friend against her own father. How fucked up could this day get?

It was left at a stand off, both Tina and Percival tried to keep a spell off of each other. Teddy lunges forward as she sees a flying car coming towards Tina. They land on the concrete as Tina mumbles a small 'thank you'.

They look back at where Percival once stood to find him not there anymore. Teddy stands quickly, helping up Tina and asks, "Where's Newt?"

"He's trying to save Credence. Now c'mon."

¤ ¤ ¤

Tina and Teddy end up helping confused citizens for a while. They find a blue barrier forming around the entrance and exit of the subway. They quickly make a run for it and roll underneath just in time before it closes. No-maj's watch in confusion and awe from the other side.

They end up splitting up to cover more ground. Teddy walked down the ominous hallway, her wand still out just in case. It was hard even getting into the subway, she had to punch an Auror and knock him out.

She heard loud grunts and electricity. Teddy turns the corner cautiously and covers her mouth with her free hand. She witnesses her father shooting spells at Newt. Small gasps escape her lips.

Her brown eyes widen and quickly run over, shooting a spell at her father as she tries to shield Newt. Percival's eyebrow arches and shoots and spell at Teddy, who deflects it easily. He shoots another and Teddy deflects it again, but ends up quickly shooting another to throw him off.

Teddy's eyes well up with tears and she kneels down to Newt, cradling his head on her lap. "Are you okay?" She asks quietly

"P-Peachy." Newt smiles weakly and Teddy smiles small, fixing his wild redish-brown hair.

Soft whimpers are heard from behind them and she finds Credence, whose turning into his Obscurial form. Black like clouds surround him and he swiftly towers over everyone.

Teddy holds onto Newt's hand for comfort. She's scared, so fucking scared. That's right, she admitted it. But luckily Newt apparted them away, hiding them behind some colums. He softly pushes Teddy against a wall, placing his arms next to her head.

Teddy wraps her arms around his torso and hid her face into his chest. Only the sound of their hard and heavy breathing filled the air as Credence left. If the situation were different she would've definitely kissed him, but they were currently trying to save New York and Credence.

But their faces was so close to each other, to the point where their noses touched when Newt tried to move back. Teddy cursed at herself for blushing at their current situation.

"If the circumstances were different then I'd definitely kiss you, but we gotta save Credence so..." Teddy bites her lower lip trying to hide a grin.

"I understand." Newt nods, looking away to smile small and them grabs her hand softly, disapparting them from their hiding spot.

When they apparted Credence was in above them. All black cloud and everything, it was a chilling sight for Teddy. She gripped onto Newt's hand gently in fear as she saw her father trying to cox the scared Obscurus.

"Credence!" Teddy calls out and removes her hand from Newt's with her hands raised to show she didn't want to harm him.

"Remember me? Teddy? Yeah, well I want to help you. We," She looks over at Newt and then at Credence. "we want to help you." She says softly.

"Keep talking, he'll listen to you." Newt assures her, his hands raised as well.

Tina slowly walks down the rails and stares at Credence. "I know what that women has done to you, Teddy and I know what she did. I know that you have suffered. But you need to stop this now. Newt, Teddy and I, we can help you." She says carefully.

"Don't listen to her, Credence. I want you to be free." Percival tries to cut in.

"He's using you," Teddy points at her father and continues,"This man wants to expose the Wizarding community for his own twisted ways. But if you just... come with us, we can help. We will help."

Credence listens, his dark form slowly begins to change until the gravel beneath everyone's feet begins to crunch loudly. Teddy turns around quickly and finds Madame President along with Aurors with their wands out and ready.

"Don't shoot! Wands down!" Teddy's father says harshly towards the Auror's.

But they ignore him. Bright colors stream out of their wands, blasting towards Teddy's friend. Teddy's eyes watered as she screamed, her body lunging towards the group, only to be held back by Newt. His arms were wrapped around her waist tightly, pulling her body close to his trying to contain her.

As they look back at where Credence once was there was nothing. Only a small wisp of black air. Teddy cried again, one of the many things she did lately.

She turned to Newt, feeling a sense of defeat in her heart. Credence was so young and now he's fucking gone. Gone. Teddy never expected to even think about that from her quiet and socially awkward friend, but she did in that moment.

Newt saw the flash of sadness in Teddy's brown eyes and pulled her into his chest. Quiet sobs left her lips as Newt rested his chin on her head, feeling sad as well. He couldn't save Credence.

"You fools! Do you realize what you've done?!" Percival yells towards the Aurors and Madame President.

"The Obscurial was killed on my orders, Mr. Graves." She replies simply.

"He wasn't just a fucking Obscurial, he was just a scared boy! He was so fucking young! Only twenty-four, he h-had so much life left ahead of him. You Madame President, killed an innocent young boy." Teddy pulls away from Newt and glares at the dark-skinned women.

"He was responsible for the death of a no-maj. He risked the exposure of our community. He's broken one of our most sacred laws-"

"Fuck your laws!" Teddy groaned.

"A law that has us scuttling about like rats! I ask you, who does this law protect, us or them?" Percival cuts in and for once Teddy and her father agreed on something.

"Graves-" Madame President tries to calm down Percival.

"Don't listen to him, he's apart of this somehow." Teddy points at her father with his wand, which he tries to grab.

They end up shooting spells at each other surprisingly. All the anger and sadness spilled out through her wand and at her father. The one person she loved with all her heart, the person she tried to please so desperately.

Newt comes up behind Teddy and takes her wand from her as once of his creatures wraps itself around Percival. Teddy gives Newt an annoyed look, but nods softly knowing she crossed a line.

"Revelio." Newt points his wand at Percival.

Teddy could feel the air from her lungs leave. She watches in disgust as her father's turns into another wizard. Gellert Grindlewald.

The man in front of her looks so familiar and she stares at him in shock as her smirks. The puzzles begin to click in her head and gasps.

"You killed my mother! You bastard!" She tries to go over to him as he laughs and Newt's arms find their way around her waist once again to hold her back.

"Newt, let me fucking go."

"I can't do that."

"He killed my mom, let me go."

"I know, but hurting him won't do anyone justice."

Teddy grumbles a small 'okay' and leans back onto his chest as she watches Auror's take him away. He keeps smiling at her though, his beady little eyes smirking. Teddy sighed softly and took her wand back from Newt.

Millions of questions filled her mind. Most of them were about her father though and where he could be. Teddy rubbed her face and carefully removed Newt's arms from her waist, a feeling she enjoyed but knew wouldn't last. With a final sigh and look at Newt she disappartes from the scene and goes back home.
