Checkmate

prologue

How did I end up like this? After all the voices plaguing my head went quiet, an overbearing silence ensued. The warm blood sticking to my hands suddenly made me realize that the person lying underneath me wasn't just some random person. It was my girlfriend, the love of my life. Screaming and thrashing around to desperately push me off of her just a few minutes ago. Trying to protect herself from something I have acted upon so selfishly. Why would I do something like that to my precious? Why. Why. Why. Why. Why.

WHY?

I should've not been so harsh on her. She tried to escape, which already pissed me off at the moment, but when she decided to throw a big tantrum and said all those horrible things to me, I couldn't control myself. I really fucked it up this time. Warm tears began to roll down my face. The knife fell to the wooden floor with a dull clang. A sound that suddenly brings me back to the gruelling reality and made me hyperaware of my surroundings. The surroundings that were so full of life just a moment ago. Or maybe longer, who knows how long I have been standing over her dead body? How am I going to live from now on? I have nothing to live for. No one is left. I bend down and pick her limp body off of the floor. I can't just let her rot in this place, I need to bury her. Even if I don't want to 

 "Don't worry darling, I will make you the prettiest gravestone, so you can rest in peace for all eternity."

I give her one last kiss on her cold and bloodied lips and begin to carry her out of the backdoor, into the woods.

This was going to be a long night.
