85 | phase one

Layla's POV

It's still the same. Nothing different. I'm still in shackles. The stone floor is still cold as shit, and every shaky breath I take only makes me believe even more than I already do, that I'm going to die in here. I'm going to die in this prison that Henry Spector created for me.

My parent's ally. Mutantur Materia. God the connections I have to the man who imprisoned me! Henry Peters. No. False identity no one knows about. Spector is a lot more things than one... and every bloody day there's something else to uncover.

One day I hope every layer that man is wrapped in is ripped off, and his dark black heart is revealed to the whole of the Wizarding World to see. Then they'll find out. Then they'll find out that Spector is not who he says he is.

That he's the man who's been killing your brothers, your sisters, your friends, your family, all these years! It's been him.

It's always been him.

And if anything, I strongly believe that he corrupted my parents, not the other way round. But either way, they're both just as bad as each other. Just as evil.

Now I wait. As each second passes.

One shaky breath closer to dying.

To never being able to see him again. To see Mattheo... I thought he'd come to save me... but it's no use. What can I expect? They're facing Spector, and it'll be very difficult to find me.

Even I have no clue where I am at all.

But the dark mark.

I feel his touch on my wrist everyday. It's the only thing that's giving me hope. I just know... I just know he's coming for me. Our love is worth much more than that...

Merlin, Mattheo where are you?

Author's POV

Geared up, the boys stand outside the building which they believe Spector is keeping Layla imprisoned in.

"This is it guys." Blaise sighs.

"Yep, this is the nightclub." Dylan nods, the boys standing together in a group, each in stunning suits, no tie though, that would've been too formal.

Mattheo wore a black blazer and pants, and a white shirt with the top buttons undone, his knives well tucked in his inside pockets. It was the same for all the boys too. They each had weapons hidden away, along with their specially tailored 'super' suits which they wore underneath.

Liam hadn't come up with a name for the suits yet, and just called them "super suits" for the time being. Draco said it was "lame" and so Enzo whacked him. Not surprising at all.

Adjusting their ear pieces for communication, they enter the building to be met with the night club jam packed with tonnes of people. Witches. Wizards. Muggles. Who knows? But the music was so loud that the boys were thankful they had their ear pieces to communicate with each other, otherwise nothing could be heard.

Mattheo glances at the group and they all split up into their separate ways as planned. Draco and Liam left wing. Mattheo to the bar. Theo and Dylan to the dance floor to charm some ladies, and Enzo scurries away to the bathroom.

As planned.

Enzo whistles as he strolls in, as if convinced that that wouldn't raise suspicion that he was doing something suspicious. Classic Enzo.

He notices a rather funny looking old man at one of the urinals, his eyes not leaving him. Enzo shivers in disgust and quickly makes his way into a cubicle, locking it shut.

He pulls out a vial from his pocket and looks at the potion cooked up by Blaise.

"Merlin, I hate polyjuice." Enzo groans, pulling a face in disgust before he shakes his head and downs the bottle, gulping down every last drop.

Within moments, he starts to feel sick, as each body part twists and turns to change shape into another form.

Once the potion has done it's magic, Enzo steps out of the cubicle and looks at himself in the mirror, only to find a tall bald man with a huge muscular build in his reflection.

He gasps and holds his face in shock, and hears a gasp from beside him to find the creepy old urinal man with the same shocked expression on his face.

Enzo backs away and quickly exits the bathroom, heading back to the party.

"Guys, this is Enzo. Can you hear me?" He whisper shouts, holding his ear piece.

"Yes Enzo." Dylan replies.

"Phase one is complete. I am now bald. And ripped." Enzo giggles slightly, and the boys look around the room, and instantly spot Enzo in his new form.

They all snigger and Enzo rolls his eyes.

"Initiate phase two." Mattheo orders.

"I'm still confused as to why the whole plan relies on Enzo." Draco scoffs. "Surely someone more capable should've been chosen for the job."

"What, like you apple muncher?" Theo sniggers.

"Just get the job done. I want her back." Mattheo says through gritted teeth, as he notices Spector walking into the room through the white door.

"He's out. Enzo go, now's your chance." Blaise says and Enzo takes off.

Disguised as one of the guards, he makes his way over to the white door, and stands there awkwardly, the guard beside him turning his head slowly towards him, an eyebrow raised.

Nothing is said, but he gives him a simple nod, and Enzo sighs in relief. With a swift movement, he quickly turns around and opens the door, entering through to the other side.

Meanwhile, Blaise throws some magic spices at the guards face which instantly turns him from alert to relaxed, forgetting he ever saw Enzo just waltz through the white door that he's supposed to be guarding.

"Oh god." Enzo says, looking around completely lost.

He takes a couple of steps forward and takes a look around at the stone tunnels, everything mostly dark and smelly, as if it was some sort of sewers.

Taking a shaky deep breath, Enzo continues his journey to find Layla.
