Joan didn’t have a clue what to expect from the glitchy witch, Triani Gryff.

The woman lived in a medium-sized house, with each room painted a different vivid color. The effect was surprisingly cozy.

She reminded Joan of a ditzier version of Betty White. She was about the same age as Betty, but her hair was frizzing out of control. And, like Betty, she had a welcoming smile. She wore a bright yellow housedress and bright lipstick. “Come in, come in.”

Joan had been accompanied by Walter and Larry, as well as the sheriff and Tabitha, the female deputy. She felt reassured that the law enforcement in this town meant business when it came to keeping her safe, even if it was a wacky business that involved monsters, werewolves, and witches.

Joan was beginning to believe that it really was true. She’d seen the monster and the changing wolves with her own eyes, and she wasn’t prone to exaggerations or hallucinations.

When they were seated in the turquoise living room, Walter explained why they had come, and then added, “So we’re hoping you can help us in this emergency.”

“I’m honored that you would ask me. I’d be delighted to prepare this potion.” That would have been more reassuring had the witch not looked so worried when she said it.

Joan shook her head. Witch. How surreal.

Could this woman really perform spells that could change her scent?

Triani Gryff jumped to her feet, spry for a woman who looked to be in her seventies, and motioned for Joan to follow her. As she did, the witch took her hand and lifted it to her nose, sniffing delicately. She sniffed at her forearms and shoulders, and along her neck. Now that was just freaking weird.

Finally, Triani nodded, satisfied. “Yes, I can change your scent.”

“How long will the spell last?” Larry asked, concern in his voice.

“Guaranteed for three days, but may last as long as five.” Triani sounded confident now.

“It’ll have to do,” Samuel said. “Thank you, Ms. Gryff.”

The witch said, “I need to gather a few herbs and other ingredients in my storeroom. It shouldn’t take me more than twenty minutes to prepare the potion, if you’ll wait here.”

She left the room, and Joan began to feel anxious. “Is this going to be safe for me to drink?” she whispered to Larry,

He nodded. “Triani has never harmed anyone. Her magic is just ... eccentric and unique. Outside of the box.”

“Pandora’s box,” Samuel muttered under his breath.

Larry took her hand and squeezed. “You’ll be all right. And afterward, you’ll be safe from the creature until we can locate him.” He let go of her hand — reluctantly, it seemed, and she felt an odd sense of loss — and turned to the sheriff. “Has anyone sighted the creature yet?”

“No, but we have three teams out searching. We’ll find him.”

Tabitha came to sit beside her. “Triani cast a spell for my mother — oh, five or six years ago — when my mother came down with cancer. Triani cast a healing spell.
