I turned to meet Tina, she had run down the tunnel and was only a few feet away. Hillary was standing behind her, tears poring from her eyes. She must have been worried for Credence and scared, she didn't want him to go through what her brother did. 

"Don't do this – please." She pleaded. Hillary walked further up, wanting to see just how scared Credence was. 

"Keep talking, Tina. Keep talking to him – he'll listen to you. He's listening." Newt cried. I turned back to 'Credence' and saw he had settled down. I found this strange, why Tina? 

"I know what that woman did to you..." Tina whimpered. I kept my eyes on 'Credence' but could see him emerging from inside the Obscures. He was shaking and scared but his eyes, that I could just see, told me that he felt safe with Tina. "I know what you've suffered..." she continued. Credence's shadow shook and breathed heavily and quiet. I could tell he was trying to get back in control. "you need to stop this now...Newt, Evangeline and I will protect you...My cousin, Hillary will too – her brother was like you..." I could hear someone move and spun to see Graves on his feet, Newt then placed his arms under me, helping me to stand. "This man – he is using you." She pointed to Graves. 

"Don't listen to her, Credence. I want you to be free. It's all right." As Newt helped steady me, I could see Credence's shadow shake in frustration at Graves' words, but he still settled. 

"That's it..." Tina whispered, walking towards us. I saw 'Credence' start to shrink and could hear Hillary starting to move slightly. Quickly Aurors made their way down the stairs of the subway platform, 'Credence' started losing control. "Shhhh!" Tina cried, I turned to see more Aurors coming out of the end of the tunnel Tina and Hillary came out of. "Don't you'll frighten him." She cried again. They raised their wands, pointing them straight at 'Credence'. I turned my attention to 'Credence' as I heard a low rubble, he was getting more unstable. "Wands down!" I heard Graves instruct. 

"Anyone harms him – they'll answer to me – Credence!" Graves tried to calm him, but it made him squirm. 

"Credence..." Tina whimpered. 

"WAIT!" I heard Hillary scream, I turned to see her standing in front of the Aurors, their wands raised fully and ready to fire. One of the Aurors shot a spell at Hillary, knocking her to the ground. 

"Hillary!" I yelled, but Newt grabbed me before I could do anything. The Aurors then got back to business and fired all their power at 'Credence'. 

"NO!" Graves yelled. Newt pulled me under him and protected me from the incoming spells. I clung to him for dear life, hoping that I didn't see Credence's face. But alas I did, I saw him screaming in pain as all power was unloaded on him. Everyone could hear the pain filled screams and cries for justice. Newt held me closer as he blasted into speaks of darkness.
