Flee screaming in terror from the assassin!

"Assassin!" Michako screamed, trying to run from the gazebo. Before she could take one step, the black-clad woman reached out and grabbed her, wrapping one firm arm around her waist, clamping the other over her mouth. But the princess' screams alerted her servants, who were looking for her, and as the assassin held very still, listening, Michako did too, and she could hear the metal tramp of guards running into the garden.
