Chloe stepped into the Museum. She couldn’t believe how many People actually decided to show up for the new Wing they opened. If it wasnt for her Friend Alice, she wouldnt have stepped inside the Place herself. So she wandered around, trying to find the Girl that wanted her to visit a Museum on her Day off.

After ten minutes of walking around the Renaissance Section, did she felt a familiar tap on her Shoulders. “Sorry, I got caught up, when I talked with the Curator. I hope you arent Mad?” Chloe just shock her head. “No, now tell me, why we are meeting here?” she asked. Only for Alice to cross her Arms. “Oh, you will see it soon enough.”

Before any more words could be spoken, did Alice grab her friends hand and pulled her towards the new Wing. Chloe nearly ran into her Friend as a Security guard stepped in front of them. “IDs Please.” he asked followed by Alice showing him her Badge. “She is with me.” she added and pulled her Friend past the Guard. “Sure Miss. Have a nice day.” he said before stepped in front of a Man trying to also enter the new Wing.

“Whats that about?” asked Chloe, only to see the answer a few seconds later. Alice followed her friends gaze towards the first Painting. “Yeah, this wing is for a more adult audience.” Chloe ripped her eyes away from the Man depicted in Adams costume. “Now come, we are nearly there and right on time.” Alice said as she kept dragging her friend along, till the two stopped in front of a Painting covered by a Sheet.

The Curator was talking with a few Members of the Crowd that had formed in front of the Painting. “Oh Miss Layton, what a Pleasure.” he said and turned his Attention to her. “Ladies and Gentlemen, here is the Artist of this Piece. Since this is her first Work on such a Display, is it a honor of mine, to let her Reveal it herself.” he said, stepped Aside to let her Step next to the hidden Painting. “Thanks. I really wish that my work will fit to the other Artworks displayed in this Wing.” she announced, grabbing the Sheet hiding her work, once she was done.

With one practised pull, did she reveal her Artwork under the Applause of the Audience. Chloe watched as the Nude self Portrait of her Friend came into View. “Alice are you Sure about that?” her Friend asked, but the Artist just waved her off. “Its fine, I think its my Chocolate Side.” Chloe had to agree that her Friends painting was incredibly detailed. “You can check where I took some Liberties. If you want to” she whispered into her Friends ear, only to start laughed as the Girls head turned a light shade of Red.

As the two where Joking around, did Chloe feel another hand that didn’t belong to her Friend move across her Pants, before she could however turn to see who was touching her, did the Person take a hold of her Smartphone and pulled it out. As Chloe fully turned around was all she could see a Woman running away, with her Phone in hand. Without a second thought did Chloe run after the Thief.

Alice wanted to follow, however a few of the Visitors stepped in her way to ask Questions. Causing her to lose her Friend in the Crowd before she could say anything. She hoped that Chloe would be alright and started answering a few Questions. Only to end up in a discussion about the Price of her Artwork and what it would take for her to Sell it.

Meanwhile did Chloe follow her thief through the Modern Art Section, only to nearly lose her in the

Renaissance Section. Thankfully did she spot her Phones cover as the Thief ran around a corner. Taking a shortcut over a Sculpture allowed her to close the distance. Before she knew it, did both of them leave the Museum and into the City. For Moment did Chloe doubt her Plan to follow the Lady through so many Alleys. Only for her to vanish into a Door on the Side of a Building. Chloe took a deep breath and went into the Building as well. For a Moment did she wonder where she ended up, only to hear voices coming from outside of the Room she stepped into.

As she followed the noises around her, did she end up on the Edge of a Stage. The Audience was looking at the Performance. With that did Chloe finally pay attention to the Magician standing next to a table, talking to the Thief. The Woman looked over her Shoulder and smiled at Chloe as she handed the stolen Phone to the Magician.

Chloe ran onto the Stage, in the same Moment the Magician threw the Phone into his Hat. “Looks like we found a volunteer for the next Trick.” The Magician joked. Chloe crossed her Arms. “No, I want my Phone back that you People stole. I am done chasing. I want it now.” she yelled out, the audience watched in Silence as the young Woman cursed out the Magician and the Thief.

He relented and threw the Hat towards her. She catched it, only to realize that the Hat was empty. Out of anger did she punch through the Hat and threw it towards the Magician. He laughed and catched it. “So, can I get you to assist me now?” he asked with a charming smile, increasing her anger, much to the audiences enjoyment. Now she started to see nothing but red and wanted to punch him, however, she couldn’t lift her right or left hand.

Only now did she realize that the Thief appeared behind her and tied her arms behind her back. Chloe wanted to complain, giving the Thief an opportunity to place a gag in her opening mouth. Silencing any complaints. Which got followed up by strings tying her legs together. Leaving her more than Helpless. The Magician walked over and helped his Assistant carry their volunteer to the table and placed her down.

The Girl tried to figure out what was about to happen as she felt handcuffs going around her ankles and then wrists, making sure, she wasnt getting of the Table any time soon. “You know, usually thats the Point, where the Volunteers protest and beg for mercy.” The Magician said jokingly and placed a Box over Cloes midriff. “Thankfully, our Volunteer isnt in a Position to complain. At least not in a way we can understand.”

With that summery did the Thief push something big onto the Stage. Chloe tried to look behind her to see what was going on, but the Magician placed a hand on her Shoulder, preventing her from seeing more than that something big was now standing next to her. By the Sound of the Audience, Chloe wasnt going to like what was coming next.

The Machine came to life and Chloe was all to certain what was happening behind her as the Saw started lower itself. She tried to figure out what was going on, they couldn’t just actually saw through her she thought. On the other hand they got her by stealing her Phone, so how knew what their plan was.

All her Theories and escape plans vanished as the Saw started cutting into the Box, letting her feel the sawdust falling onto her exposed back. The Air rotating around the Blade became stronger, telling its poor Victim exactly where the Saw was going to enter her defenceless body. She felt the first Teeth scratching her back and the Saw went dead in a Moment. The Magician exchanged glances with his Assistant and the Audience.

“Vera, did you leave the safety on?” he asked and looked over the control element. “No, it should be off.” she answered as he pressed the Button to lift the Blade. “Hmm. Guess we have to check that first.” he said and removed the Box, while Vera untied the Girl. With her Hands free did Chloe remove the gag from her Mouth. “Whats wrong you People.” she yelled out, but the two just ignored her and pushed her to the Side. “Maybe we should test it, before we try it again.” At the Magicians suggestion did Vera jump onto the Table and took on the Position Chloe had just moments earlier. “Chloe, would you be so kind and fasten the Handcuffs on my Assistant.”

She was so confused by the situation that she followed the instructions without question, followed by the Magician placing the Partially cut Box over her. “Do you want to press the Button?” asked the Magician and guided Chloe to the control panel of the Saw. She looked over at the smiling Assistant. Chloe still felt the saw on her Back and the anger build up inside of her. Letting her press the Button without much hesitation.

A mere Moment later moved the saw down. As she felt the air around the Saw did Chloe wonder if she did the right thing. So wanted to wanted to stop the Saw, but the magician held her in place and the Assistant gave her a thumbs up as the Blade entered the Box. Chloe could hear the Moment the Blade reached the point where it stopped last time, this time with no interruptions. Veras body tensed as the Saw clearly worked its way through her Body. There was no doubt in Chloes mind.

Once through the Table, did the Blade stop and moved up as Vera collapsed lifelessly on the Table. A puddle of blood formed under the Table where the saw went through. All the Anger inside of Chloe vanished as the Magician pulled the part of the Table with Veras lower half to the Side, causing her insides to fall out. “Hmm, looks like the Saw is working just fine now. How about we make some Space, wipe it clean and you lay down on it, this time it should work.” The Magician said as Chloe wondered here she could run.

The Magician snapped, covering the whole Stage in Smoke. Chloe was unsure what to do, till a bright light appeared before her eyes. Vera held her Phone directly before the Girl and Chloe grabbed it. “But you are- I just watched- Why-” She couldn’t form a full thought as Vera dragged her Backstage.

“Why did you steal my Phone?” was the first full Question Chloe could formulate. “Cause I wanted you to follow me.” Chloe put her Phone away after making sure that it was alright. “Its a longer story and we had to make sure that we got the right one.” Vera said and handed her Guest a drink. “The right one for what?” Chloe asked after finishing her drink. “To save my World.” Now the Magician joined them.

“Vera is a Princess from another World, which is currently threatened by an Evil Witch. During my Practice did I accidentally end up in her World, where I trained with the Mages of her World and learned of the Prophecy that a Magician Assistant from another World would save them.”

Chloe crossed her Arms. “I am neither Magician nor Assistant and I have no intend of letting you saw me in half. How should that even help defeat a Witch?”

The Magician laughed. “It doesn’t, however, since you are the Girl we are looking for, do I have a Question for you. Why do you think the Saw didn’t cut into you?” he asked her and Chloe had to think. “Cause you enjoy terrible pranks.” she shouted and glared at him. Causing him to laugh a bit more. “Well, Maybe. However, I had intended to cut through you.” he admitted.

After catching his Breath did he pull a Knife from his Pocket. “Vera, would you be so kind?” he asked and his Assistant Stretched out her right Arm. Allowing him to grab her Hand. He then gently pressed the knife against his Assistants wrist. Chloe froze was she watched the Womans skin getting red as the knife pressed into it. Without any further complains from her, did the Knife cut its way through.

As the Knife finished its journey did Vera pull her arm back, showing the smooth skin covering the Cross section to Chloe. While the Magician kept the hand to himself. “This Knife is enchanted the same way as the Blade. So, what do you think happens if I ask for your hand, right now?” The Knife pointed at her. “I am going to lose a hand and you will to clean that mess up?” she guessed by the way she still felt the Saws scratch on her Back.

He nodded. “You are Right. Thats because you are Resistant to magic. So, if the Witch would try to cast a Spell on you or stop you with magic, its just going to vanish on impact.” Chloe crossed her arms. “And what if I don’t believe any of that?” she challenged him. Without much trouble did he hand her the Knife. I am sure Vera doesn’t mind, if you cutting her into pieces till you make up your mind.”

Vera glared at the Magician, only to fold the Moment she looked over to Chloe who was checking the Knife in her hands. “Fine, if it brings on closer to saving my Kingdom.” Chloe put the Knife down. “I don’t want to hurt anyone.” Vera laid down on the floor. “I promise you, its not hurting me. A sigh escaped from Chloe as she aimed for Veras other hand. Much to her surprise, did the Knife just slide through her Target.

With hand in hand did Chloe look Vera in the Face. “Thats not what I mean. I don’t want to attack anyone, let alone some Witch. For all I know, you are just a crazy Lady that stole my Phone, that let he cut off her hand. Which is troubling in its own right. I hope you can understand that.” Vera moaned, ripping Chloe right out of her Thoughts. The Two locked eyes for a Moment before landing on the Magician that toyed with his Assistants other hand.

“Sorry, I thought this is going to take Longer. How about we make a Deal Chloe. You will work as my Assistant, to get to know us better. And either change your mind or you help us find someone else that is as resistant to Magic as you, just with the desire to kick a Witches ass.”

Chloe handed Veras hand back. “Okay, as long as I don’t have to climb into any Boxes.” The Magician frowned. “Thats to bad. You liked you were enjoying yourself, being all tied up.” Before he knew it, did the Knife pierce his chest right into his Heart. His eyes went down to the Knife, then up to Chloe before he fell backwards.

Panik ran across her Face, Chloe nearly lost it, till a laughter came from the seemingly dead man on the ground. He Pulled the Knife out and got back up. “You know, that could have killed someone. Remember me to never give you none magical Swords and Knifes.”
