Invisible String [t. s]

Skyfall

"Theseus?" She whispered as her body felt weak all of the sudden, she felt like collapsing. Theseus' strong hands held her arms to help her stand her ground above him.

"Hi, hi. I'm here, I'm always here." He brushed her tears away and smiled at her as his hand fell to his side, tired and relieved, he was glad Élie was back and he was glad he'd keep on living. That's when Yusuf arrived, an army behind him. "Bloody great." He whispered. Amélie looked at Yusuf and the people behind him, they smiled at her. "Hey." She looked at Theseus. "How 'bout you kick their asses too?" Amélie smiled. She stood up and made Scamander stand too, then she exchanged looks with Kama and the man smiled for a fraction of second, that's when Kama turned around and threw a spell at the ground while Amélie threw the spell above, both knocked down all the people that had arrived with Yusuf. Then, Amélie's attention shifted towards Lally, she released her from the lace that held her in place.

"It's good to know we have you with us." Lally told Amélie, almost breathless, as she approached the group.

"I'm sorry, I didn't-" Amélie started talking, a shaky hand gripping onto Theseus' coat sleeve.

"We know." Said Theseus holding her hand. "We know." The look in his eyes let her know, that 'we know' mostly means 'I know'. "C'mon." He laced their fingers together as they rushed to get to where the ceremony was being held.

  They arrived at the time when everybody emitted their votes, the air filled with green spells that had Grindelwald's 'alliance' symbol, there were a few yellow votes that represented Santos, and some red that were for Tao.

"Gellert Grindelwald is the new leader of the magical world by acclamation." Vogel announced and Amélie's eyes found Theseus'. Grindelwald stepped forward and smiled for a second, then, he looked at someone in the crowd that had formed before them and nodded. Vinda started walking upstairs and Krafft and Abernathy pulled Jacob with them for him to stand before Gellert.

"Newt's up there too." Said Theseus as his heart started racing in his chest. Amélie observed how Vinda pulled out of Jacob's pocket a wand and handed it over to Grindelwald. The Aurors exchanged looks again and they started moving slowly and steadily. Together.

"This is the man who tried to take my life." Grindelwald started speaking. "This man, who has no magic, who would marry a witch and pollute our blood," He added pointing at Queenie. "create a forbidden union that would make us less, make us weak, like his kind. He's not alone, my friends. There are thousands out there who seek to do the same." Jacob's eyes were pinned to Queenie and he started crying. "There can only be one response to such vermin." Jacob turned around and opened his arms defiantly at Grindelwald, who sent him backwards in the blink of an eye.

"No!" Newt and Queenie called at the same time.

"Crucio!" Amélie tensed and suddenly felt sick as Jacob started screaming on the ground and the crowd cheered. Theseus looked at her and knew that's what they did to her for God knows how long. Scamander's eyes looked up at Grindelwald and Vinda, he glanced at them as if he could reduce them to ashes in seconds.

"No!" Newt yelled again and Queenie whimpered. Amélie and Theseus pressed the walk to reach them sooner.

"Make him stop!" Yelled Goldstein.

"Our war with the Muggles begins today!" Yelled Grindelwald and it made the crowd send more green flashes to the sky. Vicencia made the Cruciatus curse stop and Jacob finally breathed in again, that's when a phoenix flew above them all and Credence, Aurelius, stepped forward to confront Grindelwald.

"He's lying to you." Aurelius said to the crowd. "That creature is dead." He added pointing at the Qilin that stood before the crowd before he fell down, almost collapsing. He seemed so weak.
