It's Love

Chapter 7

Sam's POV

   I wake to the sound of my alarm clock and look over to see Taurtis in his new bed. Today is the first day of school.

   I wake Taurtis up and we go downstairs to watch the morning news to see if anything interesting has happened in our new home. Apparently there was a murder. "Hey Taurtis, there was a murder last night! right about after we got home!"

   "Don't worry Sam. They'll never catch me." Uhh... What did he just say?

   "What?"

   "It's ok Sam. They're just trying to scare you."

   "Ok..."

Taurtis's POV

   Sam and I watch the news, but I don't pay attention. All I can think about was that girl from the airport. Then Sam points out there was a murder last night... uh oh...

Flashback~

   It was cold outside of the train we took to get home. Sam and I get to the new house which we paid to have pre-furnished in just a few minutes. I realize as I'm under my warm covers, that I won't be able to sleep tonight. Sam fell right to sleep though...

   I get up out of bed, and walk in to the kitchen downstairs. I grab a fairly sharp knife, and walk outside. I feel my mind getting fuzzy. All I am conscious of is blood splattering my face and the knife stabbing something. Suddenly, I get a headache and I see a dead body, a girl, lying face down in a pool of blood. I don't even bother to check who it is, I just run in the general direction of home. I hide the knife in a dumpster, and wait for the blood on me to dry before entering the house again.

   Once the blood is dry, I walk inside, and upstairs into the bathroom. I wash the dried blood off of me. My clothes are ruined. I toss this pair and put on my school uniform. Then I get in bed. They'll never catch me. I won't let them.

End of Flashback~

   We pass the dumpster I hid the knife in, and I walk right past it. Sam stops for a heartbeat then continues on with me. Maybe he didn't see the blood on the lid...
