Black Love - Fantastic Beasts

Part 6

"It's just my brother. I'm sorry but I can't let anyone knows about your existence yet... Especially my family..."

Casey said when she detects uneasiness from Credence. She had to ask Credence to stay put in the second room as to keep Credence's existence as a secret. Credence however doesn't seem quite fine with that.

'You don't have to help me then...'

"I want to..."

Casey stares intensely into Credence's eyes which causes the taller boy to shyly look at the other direction.

"Credence... Can I touch you?"

This is it.

Casey finally asked for it.

Being a cursed legilimen, Casey is gifted to read people's past and future simply by touching them and penetrate their mind. Unlike being accidentally touched by others, when she does this by herself, she is able to control what she wanted to know and avoid whatever things that are not related to her intention. And it won't be as painful as when she is touched by others simply because she is the one controlling the whole situation.

She is also enable to envision things that are about to happen, giving her the chance to change her choice even at the very last minute which is why, her decisions were right almost all the time.

She did envision if she brought Credence to the nearest hospital wing or St' Mungo, she saw how Credence tenses up and starts to throw a fit when the healers try to hold him.

That is why, apparating Credence to her Black Hut is the wisest decision Casey could ever make.

"If you let me touch you, then I can see what is really happening to you... Only then, I am able to help you..."

Again, Casey detects Credence uneasiness and awkwardness of the time. So she leans forward and whispers Credence's name in the most soathing and comforting way which send shivers to Credence's spine.

"Credence..."

Credence hesitates for a while before nodded slightly.

So Casey takes the chance to hold Credence's hands slowly and smoothly as she lets her mind penetrates deepeer and deeper inside Credence's mind, wandering and exploring every layer of memories, yet neglecting any trivial matters that has no effect on her purpose.

And that's when Casey saw everything.
