Biophilia

21

We Apparated straight to the location Gnarlak had given us, so we didn't get caught. We ran to a window as Jacob had spotted something, Newt and I ran quicker then Tina, Queenie and Hillary even though we had our cases. I saw a handbag fly off a mannequin and float in mid-air. My eyes could faintly see the outline of the Demiguise. The girls and I changed back to our regular clothes and we all rushed inside. I saw the Demiguise walk down an alley as we hid behind some Christmas items. 

"So Demiguise are fundamentally peaceful, but they can give a nasty nip if provoked." The creature revealed itself and I could hear Jacob jump a bit, I smiled to myself. "You two..." he addresses Queenie and Jacob, "head that way." They nod and start, he then spoke again. "You two..." this time addressing Tina and Hillary, "follow them, but don't become a group...just in two's. Also try very hard not to be predictable." They all looked at Newt not understanding but continued to follow his order. A slight roar echoed in the building and the Demiguise looked around. 

"Is that the Demiguise?" Tina questioned. 

"No," she then left with Hillary, wanting to get away. Newt turned to me ad the creature went back to collecting things. "I think it might be the reason that the Demiguise is here." He stood and walked, I followed slowly behind. The Demiguise must have seen or heard us for it went to were Newt had sent everyone. He smiled to himself and tilted his head. "Evangeline – I'm sorry – you shouldn't have done what you did to help me with Pickett." Newt said. 

"No – I know I would have been the same if I had to give away one of my creatures. Besides, Dash produces them every three to four months." I walked closer to him and smiled. He returned it, but it didn't last long. 

"I do need to talk to you though... Can we do it next time were in one of the cases?" He asked shyly. I nodded my head and his smile returns. We then walk to meet up with the others to see what Dougal was really here for.

As we reached the others, the Demiguise was sitting in front of a dark area. 

"Its sight operates on probability, so it can foresee the most likely immediate future." Newt states as we stand next to the others. I walk slowly to be beside the creature, who rummages though its things. 

"So what's it doing now?" Tina asked. 

"It's babysitting." I whisper, Newt then comes by the right of the Demiguise as it holds out sweets to the darkness. 

"What did you just say - " 

"This is my fault. I thought I had them all – but I must have miscounted." Newt whispered. Dougal looked to Newt and looked to the case he was setting down to put his creatures in. I then here the movement of the giant creature, that's not really supposed to be this big. 

"It's babysitting that?" Tina gasped, most likely horrified by what she sees. A break comes from the shadows and reveals the beautiful Occamy. Newt and I had to back away slightly, so it didn't feel threatened. It moved its giant head to the Demiguise and ate the sweets in its hands. The thing I loved about Occamy was their big, bright, beautiful eyes, they were just stunning. 

"Occamies are choranaptyxic. So they – grow – to fil – available – space." Newt whispered but tilted his head to face the Occamy that had moved its head towards him. I smile at its curiosity. "Mummy's here." He whispered and reached out his hand. I then turned to Dougal who made a noise. His eyes were blue, meaning he was foreseeing something. Once their back to normal, Queenie moves and pushes a bauble, making noise to disturb the Occamy, it starts screeching and Dougal moves slightly. Newt moves quickly as the Occamy rises to become bigger. I see Dougal run to Jacob, who holds Queenie and grabs the racing silk, white creature. Newt then gets whipped by a wing, as do I and we go flying. "Woah! Woah!" Newt cries. The Occamy then knocked a shelf which falls to the floor and Hillary and Tina run out of the way. 

"We need an insect, any kind – and a teapot!" I yell, Tina and Hillary look to me confused. 

"Find a teapot!" Newt yells. My hands start to slip off of the wing and I struggle to keep on. The Occamy starts waving his wing around, smashing me into wood. 

"Evangeline!" I hear Hillary yell. I keep my hold on but move closer to the body, so I don't get knocked out. I see Newt on the Occamies head and I couldn't help but climb onto its back. As it cries out and smashes the roof, I reach its moving body, all I saw wear colours everywhere. I try to climb higher and get to the middle of its neck when it stops. I then catch my breath and see Tina with a teapot and Jacob with a roach. 

"Roach in teapot..." Newt instructs Jacob, I hear him take a long breath and I let out a soft shaky breath as I get pushed to the wall. Newt turns to me. "Evangeline – are you alright." Newt panicked. 

"No." But I spoke to soon as Jacob must have thrown the roach as the Occamy chased it. I fell to the floor and took long, heavy breathes. I saw Newt fall from the Occamy and rushed to me. 

"Are you ok?" I nod, and he leaves to find something to put on the teapot. The Occamy then flies up and shrinks to fit in the teapot. As it's in, Newt races and slams the 'lid' on, trapping the Occamy. I then get up and walk towards Hillary, who was on the floor next to Queenie, with bowls on their heads. I shook my head and laughed to myself.

Stupid Hillary and Queenie.
