The Mirror

It was five o'clock, and the girls were allowed to go home.

"Wait a second. There's something I need to do. Will you come with me?" Genesis asked Jennifer.

"Yeah, sure."

They marched to the manager's office and Genesis knocked on the door.

"C'min!" The manager growled.

Genesis opened the door. "Mr. James," She said to the manager, "I want to give you my two-week's notice. I'm moving to Egypt." She smiled at Jennifer.

"Ah. I see. Your name?"

"Genesis, and I don't think I need to give you my last name because I know I'm the only Genesis in this damn place."

"Right."

Jennifer smiled at her best friend. "And I'm quitting too."

"Umm, okay. Your name?"

"Jennifer. Jennifer Karston."

"Okay, thank you for the two-week notice, I think..."

The girls looked at each other and smiled wide. They ran from the office giggling. They were going to live in Ancient Egypt! The girls both got into Genesis's 4x4 and drove home. On the way, they discussed what they were going to have to do, like what to bring, how to say goodbye to everyone, and other stuff. They were 3/4 of the way home when they realized they had been talking in Ancient Egyptian and calling each other 'Jendai' and 'Anck-su-namun' without knowing it.

They got home, said hi to their roommates, and ran upstairs to tell Anura the good news. They jumped through the glass. Anura was not there, but then again, they did not expect her to be, because they usually came at night. They quickly got changed and painted by maids who were used to, but confused by their disappearances.

"Where is Anura?" Anck-su-namun asked one of the maids. The maid just bowed her head and didn't say anything. The girls were confused.

"Where is she?" Jendai repeated her friend. One young maid spoke, "She spilled boiling tea on the Pharaoh, and... she was executed."
