《Desire [Newt Scamander]》Leta Lestrange

{New cover what'd you think? Like or not?}
Evelyn woke up feeling cold and aching all over.
She soon came to remember where she was, the cells in MACUSA.
She sat up from her rather uncomfortable position, and brought her knees up for extra warmth.
Her stomach made a loud noise begging for food, she was so hungry she felt sick.
Looking around the dark cell she only wished they would let in more light, it made her surroundings feel more sinister.
Shivering she took her scarf from her neck and opened it so she could wrap it around her body like a blanket.
Closing her eyes she tried to imagine being anywhere else but here.
The only image that came into her mind was Newt.

Inside Newts case
The four stepped into Newts case and headed towards where he keeps the Occamies.
Newt looks much less happy then the last time they were down here, his mind filled with worry for Evelyn.
Jacob holds the Demiguise's hand as he leads him through to its enclosure.
He lifts the Demiguise up into his nest and steps back smiling triumphantly.
Newt helps Tina with placing the baby Occamy back it it's nest, as she looks around the enclosure I awe.
"Ouch." Newt says rather suddenly, as Pickett gives Newt a sharp pinch from inside his coat pocket.
Newt fishes about for Pickett and pulls him out in his hand, as he walks through to another enclosure.
Queenie smiles as she sees Newt explaining to Pickett, that he wouldn't have actually let Gnarlak take him.
Whilst Newt does this and Tina and Jacob stay by the Occamies, utterly captivated by their beauty. Queenie begins to wander about Newts shed.
She can tell by now that he holds feelings for Evelyn, but something is blocking them.

She can't get past this in his mind and it's become rather frustrating for her, especially when she finds British people so hard to read.
Out of the corner of her eye she spots a photograph.
She turns round a picks it up gently, in black frame is the picture of a beautiful girl who is smiling wildly.
Queenie stares at the photo for quite some time pondering whether or not she should question Newt about it.
Being the rather nosy women that she is she walks out of the shed clutching the picture in her hands.
Newt who is busying himself frantically with various buckets of feed, as though it's his way of expelling emotion.
"Hey, Newt. Who is she?" Queenie questions and innocent and hopeful tone to her voice.
Newt looks up at the photo, and his eyes are soon full of sorrow.
"Ah...no one." He mutters.
There's a short silence as he looks away from her.
"Leta Lestrange? I've heard of that family. Aren't they kinda...you know?" Queenie says reading his mind out loud much to Newts displeasure.
"Please don't read my mind." He says looking down uncomfortably at his feet.
Queenie can't seem to stop herself as she can now read so much more in Newts mind.
She begins to feel overcome with sadness and curiosity and she unravels the story from his head.
Queenie looks sympathetically at Newt which brings across more discomfort.
"Sorry, I asked you not to." He says nervously looking up at Queenie.
"I know, I'm sorry, I can't help it. People are easiest to read when they're hurting." Queenie states sadly.
"I'm not hurting." Newt defends before continuing "Anyway it was a long time ago."
"That was a real close friendship you had at school." Queenie continues to read his mind, let curiosity getting the better of her.

"Yes, well neither of us fit in at school...so we-" Newt begins to say but his sentence is cut short be Queenie.
"-became real close. For years."
"Is that why you try to block any feelings you have for Evelyn out?" Queenie says curiously.
"Uh- well- I'm not so good with humans, you see it's - uh- well better off if we don't become to close." Newt says nervously.
"Leta was a taker. You need a giver." Queenie says sounding concerned.
"Evelyn's a giver." She continues.
"I can't- I can't do that to her." Newt replies trying his best to shut Queenie out of his mind.
To his relief Tina interrupts them, entering the area they're in.
"What are you two taking about?" Tina questions.
"Ah nothing." Newt says.
"School" Queenie says almost at the same time.
Jacob who has now joined when looks at them excitedly, as he puts on his jacket.
"Did you say school? Is there a Wizardary school? Here in America?" He questions.
"Of course- Ilvermory! It's only the best wizard school in the world!" Queenie exclaims happily smiling at Jacob.
"I think you'll find the best Wizarding school in the world is Hogwarts." Newt answers back defending his beloved school.
"Hogwash." Queenie replied grinning.
Suddenly there's a gigantic thundering sound, as Frank rises into the air screeching and flapping his wing violently.
"Danger he senses. Danger." Newt says now very concerned.
He turns round looking at the three.
"We need to save Evelyn, and fast."

Note: Slight edits to early chapters (and removal of one chapter - previously chapter 2) have been made 2/2/21 The city, my city, had once been alive in a way that was hard to describe. Thriving, active, hopeful. Vibrant. But life, as I had come to learn, sometimes possesses only the most tenuous of grasps. Finally, in the end, it became my city - mine alone. I was, after all, the only one left. Worse, it was entirely my fault. There was red in my ledger that could never be wiped clean. Not while I still lived, anyway. This story follows Eran, a man who became the opposite of everything he had ever wanted to be; in a world where superpowers began to appear in a rare few, his lack of control over his own power relegated him to the role of a terrible villain - the Reaper, named so for the countless lives that he absorbed and made his own, each only furthering his deadly lack of control. Gone mad with guilt and isolation, he strove for a single heroic act - his own demise. Death was less permanent than he hoped. Centuries later, he woke to a changed world and in a body not his own. Unfortunately, his power came with him. Yet this time, things would be different. This time, he had a chance to bring it under control. He could never truly make up for the things he had done; he could never achieve redemption. That wouldn't stop him from trying to be a hero.

8 141P.A.R.A.D.O.X. PROJECT: Aeon Genesis
The first project focusing on four protagonists within the same world set around fictional 14th-century Europe.This is the first P.A.R.A.D.O.X. PROJECT focusing on 3 (+1) protagonists within the same world set around fictional 14th-century-esque Europe. Each story has its own protagonists (Male or Female Lead), genres (mainly Western Fantasy), and can be read as a standalone. Status: OngoingUpdate(s) per week: 1Words per chapter: 3000 - 6000 *** ‘A human or not; a king or a servant; hope or despair; a hero or a villain.’ Depending on one's perspective and how each story portrays, one will view an individual or a group as evil or virtuous. Because of that, it depends on the reader and listener to believe which one is the truth. More people read and trust multiple (trusted?) sources that either complement or contradict one another. The contradiction becomes the source of debates between those who believe and those who don’t. From that difference in belief, two groups appear: The Majority and The Minority. The majority, having more people, suppress the minorities’ beliefs, claiming theirs, the majorities’, to be the truth. However, the majority are not only composed solely of those who share the same belief but also those who know the truth but afraid to admit it. They have to keep quiet and turn a blind eye for their safety. The majority had to submit to those with power and authority. With the majority under control, those with power and authority can create, manipulate, and/or fabricate truth and lies by force. The reason was for one’s or group’s personal benefits. In the end, there is no such thing as ‘absolute truth’; only sugar-coated lies created by the top. Don’t believe me? It is up to you to decide. Go and read it yourself.
