Prompt #5, 7, 14.

"Let her go!" "I'm sorry, how much money did you steal?" "Don't. Just... don't."

You sniggered to hide your wildly beating heart as Newt pulled himself out of the case. His face was pale as he surveyed the vulture-like hoodlums surrounding him.

"Tina," he asked, avoiding your fiery gaze. "Why did you bring me here?"

"Uh... to make a point?"

You smirked.

Newt shifted his gaze to you. You narrowed your eyes and silently let him know that you would have no mercy on him. Especially in front of your gang.

Quickly, he scurried over to Tina and said something to her softly, keeping his eyes up and directed at the shiftiest of your criminals. You looked over your soldier and motioned for Huck and Celine to come over to you. They strutted over, their chests puffed and spines straight. The whole gang was seeing who was in charge, and besides you, they were the most powerful people in your crew.

"Here's what I'm thinking: Mr. Scamander-" you spat his name like it was a bad taste in your mouth. "-obviously has an attachment to Goldstein. So I'm thinking we threaten her."

"Why're we threatenin' her?" Celine whispered. "Whadya get out of it?"

"Their silence," your jaw locked.

"Sounds good to me. Just holler if your wantin' us to step in, eh Switchblade?" Huck clapped your soldier.

"I won't be needin' you. You're only to step in if I'm out," you instructed. "Celine's my number 2." Huck nodded respectfully and Celine grinned.

"Now get outta here. This is my fight."

Celine and Huck backed away from your form, leaving you, Newt, and Tina enclosed in a circle of hoods.

You raised your wand again and shot out a silent spell. A burst of white light shot out from the end and hit Porpentina in the back, and suddenly she flew towards you. You caught her by the back of her coat and casually pressed the tip of your wand to her throat.

"It's a shame you ever got involved with us," you said to Porpentina, loud enough for the whole gathering to hear. "Because you've seen and heard too much for you to not be a problem."

There were hollers and whoops of applause from the crowd at your statement. Di Vice was full of the kind of people who loved a fight.

"Let her go!" Newt cried. You laughed out loud.

"Not a chance in the world, Hufflepuff!" You yelled bitterly. "Even if you've only been here a couple minutes, we don't got no insurance against your telling the Feds."

Newt looked at his shoes and clenched his fists. He squeezed his eyes shut before he relaxed and raised his head again.

"I know you're still upset about what I did-"

The crowd went wild with anger. People were screaming, yelling obscenities, and pumping their fists in the air. Nobody wanted apologies. They wanted blood.

You held up a hand to quiet the gang and repeated your question, "You sent me to jail once. How do we know you ain't going to do it again?"

"I'm sorry, how much money did you steal? Because I don't remember, but I know it was a lot! A-and I can't just let you do that and get away with it!"

"This is my family!" You roared. "And this is the way we are. We commit crimes. You signed up for that."

"If you let her go, I won't tell," Newt promised, realizing your patience wouldn't last.

You pressed your wand against Tina's threat, making her cry out.

"Don't. Just... don't." Newt pleaded. He started to creep towards you, taking one tentative step at a time, like you were a beast he could tame.

"We're hoods. We're criminals. We're Di Vice," you gritted your teeth. "And you're a damn fool if you think you could go an' change that."

Newt kept going forward.

"Please..." Tina shuddered against your wand.

"Shut up before I kill you. You're starting to get on my nerves," you growled in her ear.

"I'm sorry," Newt called. "I am. I've... I've never had to know what life is like on the streets. You never had a life like mine, and I should've realized that you're not like me. You found a family any way you could."

"I'm proud of my crew," you hissed.

"And I'm proud of you. For surviving," Newt smiled cautiously. He had come forward far enough to be within talking distance, so you didn't have to yell.

Your hard heart softened the tiniest bit. You instantly regretted it, because that was the moment you'd let Newt come back in your life. That was the moment you'd started to love Newt again.

"Please," he begged. "Let her go,"

You didn't get to answer, because something jabbed you in the back and went straight through your torso.

You gasped and shot your gaze down to the searing pain that had exploded in your middle section. You almost choked as you saw your own switchblade protruding from your mid-section.

"N-no.." you gasped, your face turning white. You turned and saw the triumphant face of Celine. A Cheshire Cat grin covered her malicious face as she pulled the knife from your body. You cried out and dropped your wand, falling to your knees on the ground. Porpentina jumped away from you, like you could hurt her.

You were loosing blood, and fast. But you'd put up a fight for as long as you could.

"Don't move!" You cried to Di Vice. You didn't want them to move. You knew that instant chaos would ensure the moment you were dead, and you wanted to delay that for as long as possible.

You laughed and hung your head painfully, clapping a hand to the wound on your belly. "I shoulda known. You're a thief. And I put you in charge."

She smirked and circled you. Newt's face had lost all of its color and he had the most pained expression on his face. You sent him a look, as if to say, I'm going to be alright, but you both knew you weren't unless you got medical attention fast. But with Celine there, she'd never let you make it out alive.

"What is it you said? 'Celine's my number 2?' " Celine put a hand on her chin mockingly.

"You were my friend!" You snarled.

Celine sighed. "All's fair in Di Vice. You killed Stoneback, didn't ya? The old leader?"

"That's different. Nobody liked Stoneback, and he was a right traitor," you spat. Your knees were getting weak and you wanted to lie down and rest, but you had to stall for time. You didn't know why, but you knew you had to.

"I could see you gettin' soft just then! You were going to get back with this piece of crap!" Celine snorted, pointing to Newt.

"Yeah, well maybe I was wrong 'bout him!" You shifted your eyes to Newt. "He just wants to do the right thing,"

"And we've seen firsthand how that don't mix with Di Vice. Sorry, Switchblade. I'm just puttin' the gang first," she shrugged. You turned your gaze back on her and gave her the meanest glare you could muster.

"They'll never accept you. I'm the best leader these hoodlums're ever gonna get." You laughed. You felt liquid burble in your throat and you coughed, leaning down on one hand. Red blood surfaced in your mouth and you spat it out menacingly, a trail of red dribbling down your chin. You peered up at Celine through your hair.

"They're never going to accept you, and you damn know it. Because you ain't the second of Di Vice. You aren't even a member."

Celine's face became red with embarrassment and loathing as she realized what you had done.

"Are you... are you kicking me out?!" She shrieked.

"You're a traitor, Celine!" You screamed.

She raised her arm and punched you square in the jaw. You fell to the hard asphalt, swearing at the impact. You heard a pop as she apparated away.

It was dead silent as you laid there. You faded in and out of consciousness, the only thing you were aware of were the coughs racking your body and Newt's voice telling you that it was going to be okay.

It was cold. The ground was hard and wet with your blood. Your stomach hurt to the point that you couldn't bear it any longer, and you blacked out.

And then chaos broke loose.
