chapter 4

You decided to part ways with Newt and Jacob, after finding the little creature that loved shiny things. You wanted to check out why there was a huge gathering at this time of night.

So you snuck in and up, hiding on the balcony.

"Ladies and gentlemen, tonight's keynote speaker needs no introduction from me. He's been mentioned as a future president. And if you don't believe me, just read his daddy's newspapers. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the senator for New York, Henry Shaw!"

You had decided to sneak into this building so you could watch out for the rogue Obscurus, but you ending up listening to the speeches that were happening.

The audience cheered and applauded, making you try to drown out the noise.

You had this gut feeling that something was going to happen.

And it was not going to be good.

"Thank you." Henry said into the microphone, having to repeat it again.

You halfway listened to the speech, but you were focusing on the gut feeling.

That's when you saw the lights in the street break and go out.

"And it's true, we have made some progress. But there is no reward for idleness. So just as the odious saloons have been banished..."

You turned around to hear some feedback in the microphone, then hear a hissing sound, coming from the huge organ.

Oh, no.

"So now the pool halls, and these private parlors-"

He was interrupted again, but the lights going out, one by one.

And a snarling noise only you were able to identify.

The rogue Obscurus.

The door smashed open, throwing people and tables around, heading straight for the senator. You fell back, but got up right away to look at the chaos.

You watched him be pulled up and onto the banner, wrapping and unwrapping around his body before just floating in the air.

Then slamming down onto the stage.

That's when everyone started screaming.

Then appeared scratches on the face of the senator on the banner, before the invisible beast went back to the doors.

Invisible to all but you.

You watched them go to look at the senator, before jumping down off the balcony. You pulled out your wand, catching yourself so you wouldn't hurt yourself.

But you didn't need to look at the senator to confirm anything.

You already knew he was dead.

Hey look, it's Crystal with an update! She finally got of her butt and wrote another chapter!

Welp, here y'all go!
