Lars looked at Claires back. He could understand her interest in Magic. And her Parents connections to the underground Mage organisation, left questions open, he would like to get answered. But for now, he was traped on this schooltrip. "Stop starring at her." Rei said, as she came back to the two.
Claire turned around. "I am not complaining." she said with a smile. Rei noticed that she got played with and just left it at that. She held a flyer in front of herself. "Here, the others want to go there and if we want to go with, we need to pack up." she said with exitment. Till Lars grabbed the flyer.
He looked at it. "Really, a Magic show. Isn't that a bit childish?" he asked. Rei looked at him. "As if you didn't had fun, while we performed the sawing in half trick, with Claire." she said, as she pointed at Claire. Claire in turn, rolled over and grabbed the flyer. She looked at it. "Why not. And she is right. I bet you would have sawn me in half for real, given the opportunity." she teased, while outlining the path of a saw with her Hand.
"okay, if you girls want." with that the three grabbed their stuff. In front of the Theater where the show was held, stood the rest of the class. "About time. We were waiting for you guys." the class said. And with that they entered. The Theater seating was made out of multiple smaller tables, with three seats per table.
Lars choose one further back. While the rest of the class, took the front row seats. The female Magician walked on stage and greeted the Audience, making a joke about how many of her victims would leave the club in one Piece. if they got to leave at all. Getting her some mild laughter.
Magician started out with minor card tricks and light hypnosis on the Girls in the front row. Using her victims to learn more about the class that formed a third of her audience. She then asked one of the Girls on stage. the Magician used her hands, to go all over her victims body, to show, that the only thing the girl hid under her Summer dress, was her bikini.
The Magican shortly played with the idea, to untie one half of it. Which girl blocked by pulling her dress as far down as she could. Leading the Magician to step back and not teasing her victim anymore. As the Girl releaxed did she start to fly up. Giving the rest of the audience a clear view under the girls dress. The girl looked to the Magician. Noticing that the Magician was holding her bikini bottom.
The Girl turned around herself as she tried to cover herself. The Magician let her struggle a bit, before letting the girl down. "Don't worry. I am not heartless." the Magician whispered in the Girls ear and asked her to lift her Dress up and look down. The Girl then saw, that she was wearing a white bikini bottom. In stead of her blue one. The Magician gave the bottom back and helped the girl of the stage.
She looked around for a new volunteer. Rei's hand was the first to shoot up. Getting her the attention of the Magician. "So, young man which of this lovely young Ladies is your girlfriend?" she asked with curiosity. Lars denied it. The Magican got a smile on her lips. "So, if neither is your Girlfriend. Which of them can i borrow?" she asked.
The Girls exchanged looks and then turned to Lars. "Neither." the Magician pounted. "Then i will have to take both." she said as if it was just a small inconvience. "No, i will not let them take a step on that Stage." he said, now with a serious face. The Magicans face got angry. "Sounds like you don't want to be here. How about i help you with that." she threatened.
she snapped and a blanket covered the Boy. And with a second snap did the blanket fall to the ground. Claire got up and looked at the place where Lars was just standing. With no sign of a trap door, did she made her mind up. She was dealing with a real Magician. While she was thinking about it, did the Magician guide Rei to the stage.
The Magican pushed a Table with a blanket on it in the Middle of the Stage. Letting Rei pull the blanket away. Revealing a classic thin model sawing. Rei got to check the Box out. She looked all over to see, where the trick was hidden. But she couldn't see anything. Making her wonder, what the Assistant in the box could do. Leading the Magician to ask Rei to lay down and check the box from that point.
Claire looked at it. Now she understood why Lars was against them going on stage. But she couldn't do magic and Lars was now nowhere to be found. She wanted to stop the Magician till she knew that Rei wasn't in danger. But she couldn't move. The Magician made sure of it.
Lars opened his eyes. He was trapped in a dark place. "should have expected it." he said and moved around the dark place. he summoned a little fireball. Which didn't reveal much more, than that the was stuck in nothingness. Worse, there was a certain smell in the air. He hoped that he was wrong and walked on.
Till he saw a hand on the ground. He looked up its arm. only to see nothing but a dark puddle. he touched it and held the liquid into the light. revealing its red colour. Looking around, there where more parts. Definitely not of the same person. The only thing that connected them was that they where Young women.
He had that feeling, then he noticed a head in the darkness. He remembered the Face from a Newspaper he walked by on the way to the theater. She was a missing tourist. That just urged him to run faster. He left his class with that Monster alone. the parts seemed to guide him to a specific place.
Claire could only sit there and watch as the Magician trapped her friend in the box and started to tickle her feet. Rei seemed to enjoy herself, now being the centre of attraction. But she quickly noticed that she was right about the box. There was no way out. The Magician noticed her look and placed a gag in the girls mouth before she could ask for help.
Not being able to say anthing did rei look at the saw the Magician picked up. the Magician touched her face with the Egde of the saw. Showing Rei that the saw, was as real as the Box. Then the Magician readied herself and placed the saw onto the box. Giving a quick smile to the audience did she start to cut into the box. Claire wanted to scream, but her mouth felt as gagged as Rei's.
Lars reached his destination. A Dark box. He entered it and opened the door at the other side. Leading him backstage of the Theater. He picked up one of the swords and ran onto the stage, in the Moment, the saw made contact with Rei's Body. Making the girl tear up as the teeth started to bite into her.
With One strike, did he cut the Magicians hand of. She played it of and revealed a new hand as a distraction, while the old one left the stage. "You are quite persisstant. aren't you?" the Magician said and tried to make Lars vanish again. This time, he cut the blanket in two. Forcing the Magican to step back. she was surprised that he could counter her spell.
She tried to cast a spell, but lars cancelled her magic and stabbed her with his sword. This time, the Magician couldn't hide her injury. She tried to attack lars, but he avoided her with ease and landed slash after slash. He held back to not slice her to pieces. He just cut into her skin, till she was unable to move.
He removed, the Saw from the box and let Rei out. She looked at the mark on her hip and then hugged Lars. "I should have listened." she cried. The Ambulance checked Rei out, assuring her that the red mark on her hip looked worse than it was and all she need was a bit of ice against the pain.
Meanwhile did Lars lead the Police to the basement, that containted all the things, the Magician hid in her special place. Including the dead body parts of her former victims. Claire stayed with Rei as the others got questioned by the Police. Lars got back. "See, thats why i am against magic shows. You never know, when you deal with a dangerous one, till its to late." he said. Rei started to cry again.
He whiped her tears away. "But if your curiosity for Magic isn't tainted, can show you how i sawed Claire in half and even let you take place." she was hesitant to answer but she trusted him enough to smile at the possibilty to interact with a safe Magic trick.
