Suffering for Peace

Understanding

Footsteps walked away from me until I could only see the shadow of one person before me on the floor. I recognized who it was immediately.

Acacia: What a scared chicken was that, I only got closer to him, nothing more.

Newt: Are you okay?

Acacia: An abnormal amount of pain, nothing more.

I spit the last bit of blood out of my mouth and looked up at Newt.

Newt: You don't seem to be okay. You are bleeding under those chains.

Acacia: I don't care about that.

Newt: You need to be treated.

Acacia: I can't be treated without taking them off and someone stepping in this cage. I don't think that will happen quickly.

He held a bundle of keys up.

Newt: Only if you promise you won't escape.

Acacia: Isn't the handshake enough? You know very well what it means to ornisses.

He had opened the door of my cage with a suitcase in his hand and he walked in, closing the door again beind him. He slowly walked up to me and took the chains around my neck off me first. Then those around my ankles and wrists, but the one around my waist stayed on. Seems like he doesn't trust me 100%.

He started to dipp the blood from the open wounds and went over them with a strange kind of liquid and then bandace. He got lightly electrocuted sometimes when he touched my skin, but that was minus. All the wounds were covered once the pain inside my body from the amount of electricity was almost gone, sadly not all of it.

Newt: See, that wasn't much, just being nice is enough to get you up again.

Acacia: And now you are going to put those chains on again, aren't you?

Newt: Yes, but I'll put them a bit more lose, to still let the wounds be able to heal properly. The bandage can be removed over 2 weeks, it are serious burn wounds. You didn't feel anything of it?

Acacia: In those 5 years, I learned to hide pain, it shows weakness. I am abnormal, remember.

Newt: That doesn't mean you don't need to be worse, you are a crown princess, royal blood.

Acacia: I don't think I can call myself royal anymore, I have been gone from my kingdom for some time, someone else must be on the throne already. They can be losing hope, but I start to lose it too. That is why I am mean to all of you, you caused me to change.

Newt: I will help you to get to your kingdom again, but I can't promise it will work.

He had meanwhile put all of my chains on again but more lose as he said. He left my cage again as I stayed seated on the ground, he walked away.

The scream from before, it felt great actually, I have never felt that good to let all of my pein a bit out all at once. Why haven't I done that in the past, then I could already have been out of this thing?

Dumbledore: She gave you a handshake, didn't she.

Newt: Else I won't be able to get that close to her, she was bleeding on multyply places.

Dumbledore: You understand that she is still a danger for us. But as long as you keep being gentle with her, I think that we can make the same bond as we had in the past with ornisses again.

Newt: Can't we let her out of that cage under conditions? From 4 chains to 6, just because Snape got scared? That is not a way to fix the problem. 5 bloody years has it been, 5 long and lonely years. Now that she knows how to speak back to teachers and uses her unnatural more, she will become a psycho if we continue like this. Wasn't that scream not enough to notice her pain?

Dumbledore: Mister Scamander, you need to understand that-

Newt: No, you needed to call me earlier. I am a magizoologist, I have studied her kind for the past 3 years since I first heard that story. Now it turns out to be completely wrong. 5 bloody years is already, 5 lonely years for her. She did completely nothing. She was 22 and looking for her parents who were in battle. All because some stupid idiot killed the corporal. He need to suffer, not her. Wasn't the scream enough?

He walked angrily back inside the castle. I didn't hear anything of it, I only saw it happen from sitting under my tree. The afternoon was long for me, but at least those chains were more lose than before. I had no unwanted visitors or a group of students and a new teacher. The day after was the same, and the one after that one, a week long. Newt just came to me every evening to talk to me or to check on my wounds. I sometimes saw a student or 2 walking across the grass or crossing the bridge between two sides of the castle.

But then finaly, the routing started again, 2 weeks after my scream. It was the group of green ones with the boy that offered be a hand. I sat with my back towards them and hummed quietly songs my mother once learned me. This time, the story wasn't told again, they knew it already. Most of the time, the teachers let them do work themselves but forbids them to seek contact with me. Hartless creatures.

I didn't mind that they were walking around and taking notes, probably about me. As long as they don't bother me or that I get shocked, they can do what they want. I saw those boys that spoke to me in my right eyes-corner, they weren't doing the thing the teacher said. After some time, they started to annoy me and I slowly stood up to stretch myself a bit and look them deep in the eyes

I just wanted to fucking kill the brown-haired boy that offered me a hands, he is onto the throne of the ornisses, you could tell that easely. I already accepted a handshake, one is enough.
