Chapter 2
"Oh silly Matthew, you're not the one I'm trying to enchant." The Enchantress laugh and her gaze fell to a certain someone.
Matthew followed her gaze and saw that it was Greg, whom she was trying to cast under her spell. And there Greg was, standing as if he had been hypnotize.
"S-she's so beautiful." Greg murmured under his breath.
"Why thank you, I get that a lot. Say, why don't you come closer Greg?" The Enchantress held out her hand through the bars.
Greg slowly started walking towards the beautiful female and his lip was forming a grin. Just as he was only three meters away from the female, Matthew place an anti-Enchantress headset on him.
After he place that, Greg snap out of it and became himself again. Even though Greg was under an enchantment, he still remember everything that happened.
"That's her ability, she is able to put her target under her spell just like what Siren can do. But we didn't call her the Enchantress just because of that ability, she can do many more things that's extremely dangerous. This headset is called an anti- Enchantress headset. When you wear it, she won't be able to put you under her enchantment or spell. Her beauty may be like a Goddess but don't let her looks fool you because once you do, it will be your death." Matthew shortly explained what the Enchantress can do.
Matthew turned the level on the side to activate the electric barrier. Once it was on, the Enchantress flew backwards and collided down the ground. Instead of grunting or screaming in pain, the Enchantress chuckled as if nothing happened.
"Boy I haven't had that in a long time." The Enchantress said while sitting up.
Greg's POV
Damn that was close! No wonder why I never heard of her nor see her before, she was tightly secured in this cellar.
I look at Matthew and he had a disgust face on at the laughing beautiful female before us.
"Aww, come on Matthew, I was having my fun! Besides, I've been stuck in this cellar for five years now so all you could do for me is at least give me some fun." The Enchantress before me cutely pouted.

I felt my heart skip a beat when she spared me some glances.
Don't let her fool you Greg, she's just putting you under your spell again but... I know this isn't just the spell I'm feeling right now. It's... something else.
"Her looks may deceive you but even though she's really powerful, she have one weakness inside her." Matthew didn't pay attention on what Enchantress was saying.
"You're no fun Matthew." The Enchantress sigh while standing up on her feet and dusting herself.
I look at what she was wearing and it was an old looking patient clothes that was torn and rip from here to there. The colour was also dark grey, due to all the dirt. It looks like she hasn't had showers for years but the smell in her cell doesn't even smell like anything rotten.
"Like what I said, she has one weakness." Matthew continued, avoiding what the Enchantress just said and put out a small looking doll that exactly looks like the Enchantress, but in a doll version.
As soon as he put the doll out, fear was written all over the Enchantress's eyes.
"Matthew, don't you dare-" Before the Enchantress could even finish her sentence, Matthew got a knife and stab it at the chest of the little doll.
A screaming was heard from the Enchantress and I felt myself getting angry of seeing her in pain.
But why am I feeling like this? I thought this Anti-headset will prevent her from using her spell but... why do I feel like I want to save her?
"With this doll, we are able to control what she's going to do. If she disobey our orders, we use this doll to make her do what we want." Matthew explain.
"H-help me..." The Enchantress pleaded for help as she fell on her knees while clutching her chest.
This isn't right!
"That's enough!" I angrily told Michael while grabbing the knife off him and throwing it away.
As soon as the knife was taken off the doll, the Enchantress gasp for air then glared at Matthew. On the other hand, Matthew was staring deeply at the Enchantress.
"Interesting..." He whisper to himself but I clearly heard it.
"What's interesting?" I ask him and he look at me.
"Her enchantment, I think it had gotten stronger in the last five years." He replied.
"W-what do you mean?" As the time passes, I couldn't help myself to want to get to know what the Enchantress can do.
"You'll know later when I explain everything to boss. In the meantime, we have to get to the boss' s office without getting enchant by her." He said while opening the cell. "You know the drill. You try to escape, I'll kill you in an instant."
"Like if I have any choice." The Enchantress spat on Matthew's shoes but Matthew just ignored her and walk away.
"Keep an eye on her Greg. I'll explain the other things she can do on the way." Matthew demanded, while putting a chain on the Enchantress, and I nod.
We were now all walking back to the boss' s office with Matthew at the front, the Enchantress at the middle and me at the back.
I observe the Enchantress and scanned her from head to toe. It seems like her hair had just been wash because it was shiny and look smooth while the rest of her features were dirty.
She was barefooted and the way she walks doesn't even make a single sound. The only thing you could hear was the chain rattling and the footstep that me and Matthew are making.
"Enchantress is an Assassin. We trained her inside five months and within those months of training, she quickly develop all the Assassin skills. Aside from that, she was also learning how to use her power, along with the other metahumans." Matthew began to spoke and I paid full attention to what she was saying.
