Chapter 17: New Leaf

" Look Jeff!" Emily pointed at her drawing on the wall, sounding childish. Jeff giggled.
" It's beautiful, I didn't know you could draw so good."
" Well, I guess I'm naturally talented." She joked and pushed Jeff's shoulder a little. He regained his balance and continued with his drawing on the wall.
Emily's was a rose surrounded by arrows made of bones. Jeff found it very amusing that his fiancé could draw so well, almost made him jealous." Whatcha drawing?" Emily said and bounced over to his side. Jeff quickly covered it up with his torso.
" It's not done yet." Jeff said quickly. Emily frowned and went back to her side of the wall to draw something else." Okay now it's done." Jeff announced while putting down a red marker.
Emily bounced back to his side and examined his drawing." Wow."
" I know, I'm not that great. But hey it's something, right?" Jeff lifted his hands and smiled widely. Emily giggled.
" Well, maybe drawing isn't your thing. There's gotta be something other than killing that your good at."
" Well, I could play violin, but that was a long time ago. I don't know if I'm any good now."
" Speaking of killing," Emily raised his knife from the ground," wanna go out on a date tonight? With murder." she said in a dark voice that chilled Jeff to the bone. He loved it. He took the knife from her and licked the stained blood on the blade.
" Where shall we go, my lady?"

Jeff helped Emily sneak up inside the window to get in the house. After she was in, Emily helped Jeff inside and they were officially in.
" Now keep quiet." Jeff whispered," we don't wanna get caught. And remember, when the job is done-"
" Run like hell." Emily cut him off. Jeff nodded.
They tiptoed toward a bedroom and entered. They crept beside a bed and smiled, widely. Jeff raised his knife up and aimed at the persons throat.
" Now remember, always aim for the heart. If all fails, just start cutting the shit out of them."
" Daddy?" A little girl said from a few feet away from Jeff and Emily. She looked. Around six-maybe seven years old. Jeff smiled, Emily's heart dropped.
" There's no 'daddy' here, little girl." Jeff said and raised his knife out of his hoodie pocket. Emily heart started racing, she knew this wasn't right. Her sanity kicked back in her mind and she tackled Jeff to the ground and into another room, where another child was.
The child instantly shot up from his bed and gasped at the sight of Jeff and Emily fighting in his room. He was too shocked to yell for his mom or dad so he sat there with his mouth wife open and watched them fight over the knife. Jeff finally gained control of her and wrapped his arms around her neck and held her tightly. Emily struggled to break free, but realized it was no use.
" Emily, what the hell do you think your doing?! Your gonna get us caught!" Jeff said angrily and inhaled heavily to get some air from wrestling.
" I'm not killing these little kids! It's not right! Their just children!"
Jeff opened his mouth to speak but then saw a shadow of a figure walk down the hall. He gasped and quickly let go of Emily, grabbed her by the wrist and ran towards the window.
" What are you doing?!" Emily asked confused and angry.
" C'mon we're leaving." Jeff opened the window and motioned Emily to go out, she refused." Emily! Lets go we're gonna get cau-"
" Oh my god! Who are you people?!" A woman yelled from the doorway, pointing at both Jeff and Emily. Emily's pupils grew wide and she gasped from fear. They were caught.
The boy in the bed was crying and ran toward his mothers legs, gripping them tightly. Emily watched we Jeff slide down the window ceil. She knew she couldn't leave empty handed.

" Okay! Listen-" Emily said pointing the blade towards the woman and child-" g-give me your money and-and... You and your husbands wedding rings!" She demanded." Or I'll slice you in half and cook your insides!" She said trying to appear threatening. The woman did as she said. The woman woke her husband.
"Honey-honey call the police! We-"
Before the woman could finish her sentence Emily jabbed the knife straight through her back and heart. Emily then tackled the man and stabbed him in the heart twenty-six times before coming to a stop. Her mind was spinning, her heart was racing, the adrenaline in her veins was increasing. She could feel the rush within her, and she liked it.
She sprinted back into the little boys room and slammed the door. Holding her hand was his mom and dads rings. She took one glance at the little boys face, and instantly smiled. She raised her knife and walked slowly towards the little boy." And now little boy." She said while giggling." It's time for bed."
She pounced on the boy and as he screamed for mercy she jabbed the knife deep into his chest and throat. Splattering her white dress with dark crimson blood.
" Emily?" She heard a voice behind her. Jeff.
" Jeff! What are you doing it?!"
Jeff giggled with amusement." Oh nothing, just watching my love in action." He said.
Jeff hugged her from behind the waist. He
