Amaretto blanched and looked at Katherine. “Why is she smiling like that? I thought only the bad guys smiled like that.” As she said it, she began to slowly move backwards towards the exit, or what she thought of as the exit. A bead of sweat began to appear on her forehead as she thought of all the horrible things that could be just about to happen in one moment. Sharazad took one step forwards and continued to smile.
Katherine had a pensive look on her face. One hand was slowly reaching towards Amaretto, and the other was within her pocket. Her god mother was at the ready and Amaretto was afraid of what the woman might pull out of her magical purse that she was hiding.
Sharazad raised a single hand and Amaretto turned behind her to see several men dressed in vests and baggy trousers. The silks that the clothes were made from were indeed colorful. The vests were threaded in an elegant style that had gold trim around the edges. The sirwal that they all were wearing ended just below their knees and cinched with golden threads as well. On their feet were golden slippers that silently moved across the tiled marble floors. In each of the men’s hands was a single curved scimitar. Sharazad’s smile turned into a grim smirk.
“I did say that I need your help, you who are the daughters of the Sky Father. I never said that you would have to be alive in order to give me that help." Sharazad's cold smile seemed to crawl over Amaretto's skin and she grimaced and began to run for the door only to remember the other men that were there at the last minute. She shrieked and tried to turn but there just wasn't enough time.
From behind her Katherine threw her hands up into the air and screamed something that sounded like a foreign language. Amaretto tried to slow down, but found that she didn't need to and gasped when she realized that her aunt had turned the strange men who were there into a set of monkeys. the monkeys shrieked and ran around the room. Sharazad shrieked in rage and Amaretto and Katherine ran into the hallway in order to escape.
Amaretto dragged down the hallway, her clothing swirling around her ankles and Katherine followed in her large harem-styled pants. Their slippered feet pounded against the marble in soft slams against the unyielding marble. They ran down a flight of stairs as soon as they found it and continued to rush their way down out of the strange house they were in. Servants quickly dodged out of their way, avoiding looking at them. It was almost surreal. As they ran past them Amaretto noticed that each one of them was a lot darker than she was. Most of them were exotic browns, tanned and light. Amaretto realized that she and her aunt were more than likely the lightest people in the building.
Katherine was not having any of it though. She muttered something under her breath and then began to yell at the people that were in front of her.
"Move! Get out of the way! Flee in terror!" Katherine's voice was a torrent of abuse and orders in glorious surround stereo vocals.
"Aunt Katherine is that really neccessary?"
Katherine paused a moment and then said, "Everything is necessary."
