Bloody Love

Chapter 1: The Testimony

“I can’t believe she would do that to me.” I say to the crowd and the jury. “YEAH WELL MAYBE ITS BECAUSE YOU WERE HAVING AN AFFAIR WITH HER HUSBAND!” shouts a woman from the crowd. “Please, be quiet. leave all comments to yourself.” says Judge Joe Brown.” I bring up some fake tears to show the weakness in me, putting my hands in my face and weep a little. “You know I wasn't proud of what I did to her.” I make up some more tears as I'm trying not to look at anyone because in all honesty I knew exactly what was doing, I was getting revenge on her for always getting what she wants; the perfect house, the perfect husband, EVERYTHING!  

“Now Miss. Johnson, please tell the jury what happened on March 15th, 2001 at the Bates Motel.” Said Mr. Lane. “I would really appreciate it if you went into full detail, explaining everything, such as how you two met and how the murder came to be.” I nod my head in agreement. I take a moment, taking in all the eyes staring at me. This isn’t a closed court case so everyone that can get into the room is here. Wanting to know everything. People are always sticking their nose in things they don't need to.

“It was March 15th at one O’clock in the morning. Mr. Andrews and I met up at the Bates Motel so that way we could.” I paused, searching for the right words to say. “Well, you know, we did what most people would do.” I tried to avoid saying what we did only because I don’t feel comfortable saying it. “What exactly did you do Miss. Johnson? Different people do different things.” I look at Mr. Lane a little to angry. Anyone with common sense could figure out what we were doing. “We were sleeping together behind his wife, my sister Maria’s, back. Zac was having an affair with me.”

I look around and I can't believe how i'm the one to get the dirty looks for sleeping with a married man but Maria, who shot and chopped up her own husband with an ax  isnt getting disgusted looks. Then I remember, she’s not here and I am. Who else are they going to be angry with? “Please continue.” Lane said. “We were already at the motel for about an hour. He was about to leave telling  me he had to go to the office before heading home.” I  get cut off by Mr. Lane “Do you know why he was wanting to go to the office before he head home?” I never really thought about it because well he was brutally murdered. “Well i don't really think i'm the only one he was having an affair with.” he nods his head and i continue.

“Around 2 in the morning we hear the door being kicked in and next thing I know a gun is going off. It hits me on my shoulder missing anything important. I wish I could say the same for Zac. She hit him in both kneecaps, enabling him to move toward her. As he lays on the ground, she leaves and comes back with,” I stop, taking a minute  to steady my breathing  “She comes back with an axe and starts with his wrists. She brings the axe high above the her head and bring it down on the left wrist, separating it from his body.” I hear gasps from the crowd. “Then she goes to the Right wrist. She goes back and forth cutting off each body part at every limb. It goes from wrist to elbow to shoulder then she goes to his ankles. Going from left to right she cuts ankles, knees, the cutting off the rest at his body at thigh.” I think I see one person get up out of their seat. I guess it was a little too gruesome for them. Hell it was a lot to gruesome for me.

“Anything else happen after that?” My jaw dropped at his words. “Yeah she thought I was dead and she knew he was dead then she left. About 10 minutes later the police come and I black out.” I look at my lap because I can't stand to look at the people around me. “Thank you Mrss. Johnson, you may leave now.” I nod and not wasting anytime I leave.
