The Magician - Part XIII
There is a magician hiding underneath the vampire, aswell. In fact, that is precisely the reason why he is a master of deception. He hides behind layers and layers of masks and one never seems to know exactly what, who or where he is.
The vampire who is really a magician uses every trick in his pocket and every card from his deck. He knows psychology and he disdains criminology. He prefers to investigate the mind of his victims rather than their crime scene. He believes there is more to find in one's brain and heart than inside one's purse or drawers.
This magician knows how to hide, avoid and jink his opponent exquisitely.
When you play with this magician you can always be sure not every card is on that table. There's always something missing, namely his real thoughts and feelings.
The magician never shows you his heart. It's the most well hidden and protected secret in the world. The magician protects his heart as a country would protect political secrets, a museum a rare masterpiece or a jeweller his most precious and valuable diamond.
She's seen glimpses of his heart, of course. But she is positive he only lets her see exactly what he wants.
She doesn't know if she'll ever be allowed to see more. She knows that every time that happens she sees a little piece of heaven.
And that is exactly why she is not sure that she really wants to see any more. Heaven can be frightening, especially when you're not at all sure you'll be allowed inside.
