"GOODBYE, SELF CONTROL"
"Stupefy"
Kenna's limp body felt to the floor as the spell hit her back.
Credence watched wide eyed as he slowly turned to face Mr Graves, being him the only Magical being besides the unconscious woman
"She's fine, Credence" Graves said lowering his wand. He threw Kenna's spruce wooden wand to the floor.
Credence shook in fear as he backed away.
If he was capable of attacking a co-worker who's to say he wouldn't kill him. Him, a person with no magical...
Wait. Credence looked down at the witch as Mr. Graves slowly reached him. She had been completely certain when she had told him he had magic. Credence noticed there hadn't been any glint of being dishonest with him. She really wanted to help him. He shook in anger, slowly looking back at Mr Graves, a dark, dangerous look flashing through his eyes.
"Come on, Credence" Graves told him. "We need to find that child. He's in danger"
"No..." Credence whispered backing away.
Graves frowned in anger and raised his wand, ready to grab the teenager and apparate away from there. He didn't even take a step forward when cracks appeared on the floor in front of him between Credence and the witch and him, destroying it, creating a hole, wood falling to the floor. Graves looked up at Credence in realization
He knew it wasn't the witch as she was under the stunning spell. So.... Credence was the only option. He was the other Obscurial
It had been in front of him all along.
"Credence, I owe you an apology" Graves began softly, disarming himself, shoving his wand to his coat.
Credence's voice shook as he spoke "I trusted you... That you were my friend. That you were different" he clenched his fists, glancing at the woman who had been kind to him, shaking in anger "She wanted to help me. Not like you"
"You can control it, Credence" Graves told him seeing the teenage boy's face drastically change from a scared expression to a dark expression as he stopped shaking.
He knew he could control it because he had seen Kenna doing so and she had promised to help him control it too but she was out and he was angry at Mr Graves for attacking her. He was losing control and this time he was going to release it voluntarily
"I don't think I want to Mr. Graves" Credence said darkly before starting shaking, his eyes turning a dull lifeless white color as he turned into the dark matter substance the Obscurus was made off and attacked the place leaving Mr Graves and an unconscious Kenna alone.
Credence was sure that after being stopped of what she wanted to do, she'll be angry enough to create havoc with him.
That way he wouldn't be alone.

Graves knelt in front of the stunned witch and saw the scratches on her skin from when the Obscurus had retreated back to her, a sign of her strength. He slowly passed his thumb over the smooth skin of her face, healing her injuries over caressing her.
Kenna stirred waking up, her eyes fluttered open and she whimpered trying to escape Graves. Him being the one with her as she woke up scared her and made her angry for having stunned her
"Hey, sorry for doing that, McKenna..." Graves said softly.
Kenna pursed her lips angrily for hearing her full name. It reminded her of bad times. Her lip trembled in anger and Graves noticed
"Where's Credence?" Kenna asked lowly, taking deep breaths to control herself before she released her dark magic. Her eye shifted to behind Graves and noticed the new mess she hadn't seen before and one she was very familiar with "What did you do? Why did you provoke him?" She tried to stand up, stopping when she heard sirens wailing all over the city and knew she was late "No" she whispered, shooting Graves a dark look. "This is your fault"
Kenna spotted her wand on the floor, picking it up tightly.
Graves had made no sound after sensing the woman's anger and didn't want her more angry at him, "I was just trying to help, McKenna"
Kenna whirled around, sending a nonverbal stunning spell to Graves, which he used a shield charm to protect himself but once he looked up, he noticed the trace of the woman apparating.
He growled to himself. He had two Obscurus in his hands and they both slid from his hands.
He apparated away from the Orphanage. He needed an Obscurus to tame....
~8~
Kenna apparated in front of the disaster. She had no strength anymore as she collapsed on the concrete crying softly to herself.
She had been fighting control with herself since Graves had apparated on the Orphanage to not release her Obscurus to him but she didn't know if she had the strength anymore to control it.
Muggles ran scared from the disaster Credence's Obscurus was creating. She used all of her strength sensing Credence's suffering even from where she was standing.
"Credence!" She called out loudly. "Credence!"
She however froze hearing Graves' voice and a new anger that hadn't been there before, an intense anger she had bottled up from years and years flashed through her eyes as she looked at Graves position.
The concrete below her cracked and wind raised up as her dark entity surrounded her.
Newt, who had apparated mid-Graves' speech to Credence noticed the concrete cracking quickly going to different directions. His heart pounded loudly knowing it wasn't Credence due to him destroying higher objects. He followed the source of the cracks with his eyes and sighed in relief seeing Kenna in the middle of the street unharmed.
But his relief lasted a little seeing her shaking form and her eyes turning dull and white.
"No..." Newt whispered in denial. She couldn't give into the darkness. She couldn't lose control right now.
