《Desire [Newt Scamander]》Gnarlak

The five apparate from the roof to a dark alley.
Tina and Queenie lead the way down it passing various bins and discarded objects.
Instinctively Newt intertwines his hand with Evelyn's the dark alley putting him slightly on edge.
They all head down a set of stairs that lead to a supposedly dead end. On the wall is a poster of a women dressed up in pink.
Tina and Queenie stop, and they turn to each other raising their wands and transforming their clothes into elegant evening dresses.
Queenie gives a cheeky smile towards Jacob, to which he returns the smile with a blush upon his face.
"Right, we need you sorted." Queenie then says turning to Evelyn.
Evelyn's heard of this place but has never been, it's not really her kind of place.
Queenie raises her wand towards Evelyn, her clothes transform into a beautiful golden dress with silver jewels forming elegant patters across it.
Evelyn, who now feels embarrassed about her new exposed look slides her hand from Newt.
He stares at her in awe, a blush forms on his cheeks when Queenie smiles and winks at him.
He sheepishly smiles and looks at Queenie knowing she read his mind.
Tina steps forward towards the poster and knocks slowly on the wall three times.
A hatch opens where the posters eyes once were and are now replaced by a real pair.
Tina is followed into building by Evelyn and Jacob, just as Newt heads in Queenie stops him.
"She is very beautiful." She says sweetly.
Newt smiles nervously "ah well-" he begins to stutter.
She puts a finger to her lips.
"Your secrets safe with me" Queenie replies winking and walking in followed by a rather flustered Newt.
The building has a low ceiling and is a rather cramped place with a lot of rough members of New York's magical community.
Plastered to the walls are paper posters that read 'Wanted - GELLERT GRINDELWALD: WANTED FOR NO-MAJ SLAYINGS IN EUROPE.'

A beautiful and unique voice belonging to a very glamorous goblin, can be heard singing a jazz song as she dances through the audience.
Newt chases up to Evelyn who is at a table with Tina as Queenie and Jacob are at the bar together talking.
Newt scoots slightly closer to Evelyn after eyeing the suspicious characters in the room.
There's people who are hooded, heavily scarred, drunks and gamblers too.
"I've arrested half of the people in here." Tina breaks the silence nervously looking around the room.
"You can tell me to mind my own business, but in the death potion you were hugging that second Salem boy." Newt questions Tina.
Evelyn looks at the two confused but assumes she too had a situation like her own before they came to save her.
"His name is Credence. His mother beats him. She beats all the kids she adopts, but she seems to hate him the most." Tina replies sadly.
"I know what that's like." Evelyn mutters not actually meaning to be heard.
However when she looks up Newt looks at her a curious and sad look upon his face.
Newt furrows his eyebrows deciding not to question her, he can tell she doesn't want to talk about it right now.
"So this No-Maj is she the one you attacked?" Newt questions a rather guilty looking Tina.
"That's how I lost my job...I went for her in front of a meeting of her crazy followers.. they all had to be Obliviated." Tina replied nervously feeling ashamed.
Before anymore questions can be asked, a smartly dressed Goblin sits himself at the end of their table making the atmosphere feel uneasy.
Newt finds himself lacing his fingers with Evelyn's once more, as she nervously look at the Goblin.
"It's Gnarlak." Tina whispers to Evelyn and Newt cautiously eyeing the Goblin.
"So you're the guy with a case full of monsters, huh?" Gnarlak questions to which Newt firmly holds his case between his legs.

"News travel's fast." Newt gives a sheepish smile before continuing.
"I was hoping you'd be able to tell me if there have been any sightings. Tracks. That sort of thing..." Newt questions.
Gnarlak downs his drink as a house elf brings him a document to sign.
"You've got a big price on your head Mr Scamander. You too Miss Lois.." He looks at a Evelyn, fear glazes her eyes as Newt grips her hand tighter.
"Why should I help you? Instead of turning you in?" Gnarlak asks suspiciously.
"I take it I'll have to make it worth your while?" Newt questions rhetorically as the Elf that was with Gnarlak hurried off holding the now signed documents.
"Hm, how about we consider it a cover charge." Gnarlak says smiling a rather sinister smile.
Newt uses his free hand to fumble about in his pocket, he brings out a handful of Galleons.
Gnarlak looks unimpressed.
"MACUSA is offering more than that."
Newt then pulls out a beautiful bronze metal instrument and places it on the table hopefully.
"Lunascope?" Gnarlak says and for a moment the three believe he's interested.
That is until he glares at them before saying "I've got five."
Newt rummages about again pulling and a frozen ruby egg.
"Frozen Ashwinder egg!" Newt says desperate to impress the Goblin.
"You see- now we're-" Gnarlak begins to say, but then he stops suddenly spotting Pickett who is peering out of Newts pocket.
"Wait, that's a Bowtruckle!" Gnarlak says to which Pickett retreats back into Newt pocket.
"No. Absolutely not." Newt replies refusing to give up his beloved friend.
"Ah come on. They pick locks, am I right?" Gnarlak questions.
"You're not having him." Newt replies again firmly.
"Well, I suppose I could ask for this lovely lady instead." He points at Evelyn who feels repulsed just from the look he's giving her.
"No way." Newt replies protectively.
"Fine then..." Gnarlak says and stands up beginning to walk away.
"Fine." Newt says in agony and for a moment Evelyn fears he's going to give her up.
But her heart almost breaks when she's see him attempt to hand over Pickett who is desperately clinging to Newt's hand.
Newt turns from Pickett not wanting to see him reaching out for him.
Evelyn sits there heart wrenching at the sight, she's also in disbelief that he chose to save her when Pickett is the one he cares about.
"Something invisible has been wreaking havoc around Fifth Avenue. You may wanna check out Macy's." Gnarlak replies happy with gaining Pickett.
"Dougal." Newt says worried before continuing.
"Right, one last thing. There's a Mr Graves who works at MACUSA. What'd you know about his back ground?"
Gnarlak smirks.
"You ask too many questions Mr Scamander. That can get you killed."
Gnarlak evilly laughs.
"MACUSA are coming!" A house elf shouts and everyone begins to panic.
"You tipped them off!" Tina shouts angrily jumping to her feet.
The wanted posters begin to transform to the faces of Newt, Tina and Evelyn's faces.
Aurors begin to apparate into the room grabbing wizards and witches.
It all happens so quickly, Jacob punches Gnarlak in the face.
Newt scrambles and the floor detaching Pickett carefully from a table leg.
He runs towards the four waiting for him, Jacob downs a giggle water letting out a loud laugh as they disapparate together.
Just as they are disapparating and Auror reaches them stopping one from going with them.
The person is yanked back by a spell and hits the floor with a thud, their friends disappearing.

The Choice of Twilight
Growing up has always been difficult. It's even worse when you have to do it all in one night. On the eve of his thirteenth birthday, Ty awakes to find himself in a dreamworld, one-so he is told-that exists to pit him against his greatest fears and insecurities. And to ready him for a final choice. Luckily, Ty is not without friends. He soon meets Gentry, a wooden puppet his grandfather made for him years ago, walking and talking, ready to help Ty learn what he needs to return home in one piece. But that won't be easy when a cruel and abnormally tall skeleton dressed in mockery of Santa Claus and his suit hates Ty's guts. San wants nothing more than to best Ty and do what none of his kind has ever done before: defeat a child that has made "the choice." But Ty will stop at nothing to fight back against everything San's got in order to face his fears and grow up. Because, if he doesn't, he will end up a kid forever. Or, worse...never wake up again. This story is perfect for you if you are a fan of Coraline and Kingdom Hearts, both of those stories greatly inspired this one. I have recently added the Isekai tag after being unsure if it counts or not. I've decided it fits the description of what it is but not the current trends in the genre. If you go in with Coraline in mind I think you will have a better idea of the kind of Isekai this is. And I've also added the Slice of Life tag, that is only for the first five or six chapters though, then Ty enters the dream world and it pretty quickly becoms a progression fantasy, a mix of more traditional fairy tale like trappings alongside more anime action and acquisition of slowly increasing powers. With all that out of the way, please enjoy! Updates every Tuesday and Thursday! What time of day? It's a mystery! (For now)
