As you woke up, you lifted yourself off of the icy lake and walked over to where you saw Newt under a bridge with Jacob. "Oh! You're awake.. I'm not sure what you did with that ice on the lake, but it certainly came in handy. We can go into the case to discuss more, alright?" 

You nodded, a bit uncomfortable from the fainting but generally fine. You hopped into the case with the two of them only to feel your tail shoved in behind you as the case is forcefully slammed shut, throwing you off the ladder and of all things, on top of Newt. 

Both you and Newt felt heat in the cheeks before you apologised and got up nervously, hiding in your wingspan, a little bit flustered from the event. 

This in turn intices the Magizoologist to come over and push one wing aside to check if you were alright, and if it were not for the sensation of the case moving that knocked you over, you would have blushed harder. 


After some time, the case clasp opens, and Newt tells you to stay down just in case. You sigh in the relief of hearing Newt handle his wonderful case again before you feel really, really uncomfortable. 

You decide to pay Frank a visit, and as you moved into his domain, you could see he was worried too, channeling storms before he spotted you and landed; he nudged you with his beak before swaddling you in his wings, arcing electricity when you see a string of magic reaching past into the snowy area.

As it whips back through, you see the orb creature being taken with it, causing Frank to further guard you, your own wings urged to spread upwards against the underside of the thunderbird as an instinctual gratitude. 

As much as you liked the bird, you had to catch the orb, as it was Newt's and that was not his magic, you just knew. You began swiftly, darting after it through the case before grappling onto the magic, holding it firm like a rope, holding onto the centre shack's doorframe. 


Before long though, the magic tangles around your arm and yanks you out of the case and onto a desk roughly, leaving you facing someone... "Newt?" Your vision readjusts as you realise your wings and tail are exposed, but when you reach to fix them you find that you're bound in a tight, constricting rope that begins to choke you. 

It was triggering all sorts of instincts, such as bearing your teeth in pain though as an intimidating display. A quiet crackling rumble like a growl sounds out the tighter the rope gets. 

"No! Not her/him! She/he did nothing! Y/n is not dangerous, no danger to you or America-" Newt tries only to be cut off by 'Graves' "You brought this creature and an obscurial to America in conspiracy to break the statue of secrecy and expose wizardkind. I sentence you and your accomplices to death." The rope dissipated, and you were placed Next to Newt and Tina, seemingly you were to watch their deaths to dissuade you. 

They're going to kill you, and everyone, aren't they?
