Part 1 Tasting fine wine

The enchantress's POV

"Shall we start by explaining what we need from you? Or would you rather tell us what you wish from

us first Sir Faustus Griffith?" I asked, taking the last seat available.

"Why, of course, I prefer starting with what I want enchantress," he gleamed at her crossing his legs.

We waited in silence for him to continue as the girls fidgetted with their nails, hair and clothes. I looked

at Nelly, then gazed for a moment at Lylah.

"Wine, fine wine," he said, raising his voice.

"Well, if that is what you want to trade for the task we want from you then it is my pleasure to hand my

favourite one to you," I replied, making the bottle of wine appear before us.

"Ah, Sauvignon Blanc! That is magnificent," he said, taking it into his grasp.

"Just so you know, should you not accept your task, the wine will disappear. If you accomplish the

assignment, I will make the wine refill every time you pour from it so it will last forever, how does that

sound?" I explained, holding myself together.

"I could not agree more! So what is the plan?"

I looked at Melody to give her the go-ahead and explain what her plan is.

"We summoned you since you can shapeshift. We need to get into a science lab that holds a lot of

experiments that are abusive towards the subjects that are being created. Look, here is the map of our

territory and the forest to help you get to the exact location," she said, bringing out the map.

She opened it to show him and explain where he should go.

"Now, these are dangerous people. You need to be careful. Make your way in as one of the least

important scientists so you won't bring too much attention to yourself, making it easier to get to where

we need you to go."

"Right. And where might that be?" He asked gaping at the map whilst tucking at his short curly brown

hair.

"We need you to go to Dr Paul Write. He is the one responsible for all the deaths of our people along

with abandoning his subjects. He kills them and disposes of them in the trash," Melody explained,

frowning with anger.

"This is a dangerous task. Well, I love danger, so I will do it!" He hugged his bottle of wine like he can't

wait to get back to it.

"Good," I grinned, standing up from the chair, "make sure to bring him here alive for us."

"Easy peasy," he said turning his brown eyes at me.

"Your task is assigned for today. We will wait until the sun goes down. If we see that you have not

returned, that would mean that you were either caught, or you forgot all about your wine," I reminded,

raising an eyebrow at him.

Faustus Griffith's POV

Being a shapeshifter was what made me work as anything I wanted. It is both a gift and a curse,

considering the dangers I end up in most of the times. None the less, I listen to my clients' strategies

and go along with their task.

Checking the map, I started to walk, following the path until my eyes set on a large white building full of

windows. Making sure not to get noticed, I hid behind trees and bushes until I got close enough to spot

the scientists getting in and out. I observed a young blonde guy with long hair and a thin body and as I

observed him in detail I shifted into him, but my only problem was his uniform, so I had to somehow

surprise him and get hold of his white coat.

Moving closer to him I made sure there was no one else watching me approach the guy. He was

looking at the other side when I punched him good to make him lose his consciousness. I dragged him

to the forest and wrapped him around a tree, making sure he was tight enough right after wearing his

white coat.

"Thank you, Dr Jeremiah," I grinned looking at his tag on his white coat, "sleep tight."

I shifted into Jeremiah and wore his clothes. Moving into the building I started to walk around and get

familiar with the area. There was a large corridor that had a lot of white doors on each side that was all

numbered. The floors and walls matched the doors which made everything look the same, with no

colours at all.

"Ha, Dr Paul Write!" I chuckled, reading the writing on the door.

A few scientists were passing by and so I was not able to enter the easy way. I noticed they all had

some papers or books in their hands which were something I needed to blend even more.

"Dr West," I called, reading his tag.

His hazel eyes turned in my direction, tucking at his files.

"Hey Dr Stellar, good morning. You are early for once. Don't forget your files before you reach our

science lab.

"Dr West, I might sound crazy, but I am not feeling well today. I can't remember where I put my files.

"Did you get drunk last night? I will get you the antidote for that. Room fifteen is where you will find your

file. We will meet again in science lab 40."

"Thanks, sure, I will come down as soon as I can," I replied feeling content that this conversation went

better than I expected.

Rushing towards room fifteen, my hands wrapped around the silver doorknob. I tried hard to open it

before realising that I had to use my fingerprints for me to enter. Pressing my fingers against the

machine, the door unlocked and the lights in the room turned on.

"Right, now. The file. Dr Stellar file," I mumbled whilst going through the pile of files and loose papers

that were running on the desks and shelves.

"Damn it!" I said, getting upset for taking long.

My time was limited and I needed to move quickly so I grabbed a random file of someone else and left

the room, closing it behind me in a rush. Moving quickly in the corridor I went to find door 40. Luckily

enough I managed to get to it easily but as I walked in, there was chaos everywhere. Broken glass on

the floor, files all wet with the water that has drained from a very large aquarium-like object that must

have once been so big, it fit a full-grown human.

Dr West was running like a crazy person from one end to the other, trying to find something which

seemed important to him.

"What are you waiting for you idiot? Sound the alarm! Subject 40 is gone!" He said breathing heavily

whilst raising his arms in panic.

Subject 40 was the lady that is being kept by the wolves I thought to myself, grinning at the thought that

I was once again in luck. Chaos is what I need to bring Dr Write out of his office and closer to the exit

door where I would easily force him to follow me.

"Push the button you fool! What are you smiling for?" He screamed at me with his eyes turning red.

I pushed the yellow button that was close to me and soon enough more scientists came running in.

Everyone was in a panic all talking over each other and trying to help Dr West to find her in the lab.

"What is happening here? Everyone, step outside!" A huge guy yelled, pushing himself in from between

the crowd.

This must be him I thought to myself. I noticed how the other scientists got fear written all over their

faces at the sight of him and most of them left the room within seconds.

"What in the name of science has happened? Were you two not the ones responsible for subject 40?

Which one of you were ordered to stay in the lab last night?" Dr Writes asked looking at both of us.

Dr West looked at me, then turned to look at the big boss looking paler than the science building.

"You have failed to look after her, now I have to do what I must!" He shouted, "guards!"

Instantly a small group of guards moved towards Dr West and me, wrapping their arms around our

biceps, dragging us away from the room.

"No, no please, it wasn't me, but I know where she is I swear! Please Dr Write!" I cried out in the

corridor, making a lot of commotion.
