I Cover What Is Real And Hide What Is True

I cover what is real and hide what is true,
But sometimes I bring out the courage in you.

What am I?

A mask. It makes people look different, but can make you feel more powerful than you normally do.

Makeup also works.

Made of Five Letters and Seven Letters

I’m made out of five letters,
And I’m made out of seven letters;
I have keys but I don’t have locks,
I’m concerned with time, but not with clocks.

What am I?

A piano. The word piano has five letters, and the scale on the piano is A through G, seven letters. The piano keys don’t have locks and playing piano requires you to keep time (but with a metronome, not a clock).

Evianna’s New Love Interest

Evianna meets a man while attending her mother’s funeral. She becomes infatuated with him and he reciprocates the interest, but he leaves the funeral without giving her any contact information. She tries to locate him but is unsuccessful. Several days later she kills her sister.

Why did she do it?

Because she’s a psychopath. She killed her sister because she hoped the man would attend the funeral and she would get to see him again. This is one brain teaser that is probably best that you don’t get the correct answer. If you knew the answer right away and thought it was obvious, you may want to talk to someone.

Then grow to four legs and four arms,
And two hearts beat inside,
Until the separation.
