{New cover what'd you think? Like or not?}
Evelyn woke up feeling cold and aching all over.
She soon came to remember where she was, the cells in MACUSA.
She sat up from her rather uncomfortable position, and brought her knees up for extra warmth.
Her stomach made a loud noise begging for food, she was so hungry she felt sick.
Looking around the dark cell she only wished they would let in more light, it made her surroundings feel more sinister.
Shivering she took her scarf from her neck and opened it so she could wrap it around her body like a blanket.
Closing her eyes she tried to imagine being anywhere else but here.
The only image that came into her mind was Newt.

Inside Newts case
The four stepped into Newts case and headed towards where he keeps the Occamies.
Newt looks much less happy then the last time they were down here, his mind filled with worry for Evelyn.
Jacob holds the Demiguise's hand as he leads him through to its enclosure.
He lifts the Demiguise up into his nest and steps back smiling triumphantly.
Newt helps Tina with placing the baby Occamy back it it's nest, as she looks around the enclosure I awe.
"Ouch." Newt says rather suddenly, as Pickett gives Newt a sharp pinch from inside his coat pocket.
Newt fishes about for Pickett and pulls him out in his hand, as he walks through to another enclosure.
Queenie smiles as she sees Newt explaining to Pickett, that he wouldn't have actually let Gnarlak take him.
Whilst Newt does this and Tina and Jacob stay by the Occamies, utterly captivated by their beauty. Queenie begins to wander about Newts shed.
She can tell by now that he holds feelings for Evelyn, but something is blocking them.

She can't get past this in his mind and it's become rather frustrating for her, especially when she finds British people so hard to read.
Out of the corner of her eye she spots a photograph.
She turns round a picks it up gently, in black frame is the picture of a beautiful girl who is smiling wildly.
Queenie stares at the photo for quite some time pondering whether or not she should question Newt about it.
Being the rather nosy women that she is she walks out of the shed clutching the picture in her hands.
Newt who is busying himself frantically with various buckets of feed, as though it's his way of expelling emotion.
"Hey, Newt. Who is she?" Queenie questions and innocent and hopeful tone to her voice.
Newt looks up at the photo, and his eyes are soon full of sorrow.
"Ah...no one." He mutters.
There's a short silence as he looks away from her.
"Leta Lestrange? I've heard of that family. Aren't they kinda...you know?" Queenie says reading his mind out loud much to Newts displeasure.
"Please don't read my mind." He says looking down uncomfortably at his feet.
Queenie can't seem to stop herself as she can now read so much more in Newts mind.
She begins to feel overcome with sadness and curiosity and she unravels the story from his head.
Queenie looks sympathetically at Newt which brings across more discomfort.
"Sorry, I asked you not to." He says nervously looking up at Queenie.
"I know, I'm sorry, I can't help it. People are easiest to read when they're hurting." Queenie states sadly.
"I'm not hurting." Newt defends before continuing "Anyway it was a long time ago."
"That was a real close friendship you had at school." Queenie continues to read his mind, let curiosity getting the better of her.

"Yes, well neither of us fit in at school...so we-" Newt begins to say but his sentence is cut short be Queenie.
"-became real close. For years."
"Is that why you try to block any feelings you have for Evelyn out?" Queenie says curiously.
"Uh- well- I'm not so good with humans, you see it's - uh- well better off if we don't become to close." Newt says nervously.
"Leta was a taker. You need a giver." Queenie says sounding concerned.
"Evelyn's a giver." She continues.
"I can't- I can't do that to her." Newt replies trying his best to shut Queenie out of his mind.
To his relief Tina interrupts them, entering the area they're in.
"What are you two taking about?" Tina questions.
"Ah nothing." Newt says.
"School" Queenie says almost at the same time.
Jacob who has now joined when looks at them excitedly, as he puts on his jacket.
"Did you say school? Is there a Wizardary school? Here in America?" He questions.
"Of course- Ilvermory! It's only the best wizard school in the world!" Queenie exclaims happily smiling at Jacob.
"I think you'll find the best Wizarding school in the world is Hogwarts." Newt answers back defending his beloved school.
"Hogwash." Queenie replied grinning.
Suddenly there's a gigantic thundering sound, as Frank rises into the air screeching and flapping his wing violently.
"Danger he senses. Danger." Newt says now very concerned.
He turns round looking at the three.
"We need to save Evelyn, and fast."

The American Dream: An Alternate, Time-Travel Timeline
Due to a mysterious transcendent being, United States Marine Corps First Lieutenant Samuel Kim from the year 2016 is thrown back in time to the year 1775. To make matters worse, he wakes up near Bunker Hill, mere hours before the famed Battle of Bunker Hill is set to begin. Realizing the unique situation he finds himself in, the lieutenant takes the opportunity to change the fate of the battle and ensure an overwhelming American victory. Guided by his "patronizing" "God" and the American revolutionaries, Lieutenant Kim embarks on a journey to help America gain its independence and to ensure the nation uphold its "most promising" ideals from the very beginning. Author's Warning: The story is very rough in the first few chapters (and as some readers pointed out, some parts are laughable, such as "American idealism"). However, the pace and quality of the story improves from chapter four and onwards. You will enjoy the story if you have some interest in history, worldbuilding, and the butterfly effect (along with a few badass characters). So even if you are a bit turned off in the beginning, I promise that the story improves quickly.

A Wish
This is a story where there are no heroes and no villains. This is a tale about revenge, despair, and hope. This is a story where the truth is constantly hidden deep beneath the surface, and nothing is ever as it initially appears. The world is a stage. Every character has their part to play before their exit. They are actors, dancing on a stage set for them while searching for the truth behind the façade. Only time will tell whether they will be able to escape their predestined fate, to search for their happy end, or whether the promised end is nothing more than, a wish. Author's Note: Update will be very unpredictable as I travel quite a bit for my work.
