Our Imperfect Murder

Chapter 1

"Come on you have to dig faster, we can't get caught" whispered a light, soft voice in the darkness of the night.

"Well Sorry, I don't see you digging, you're just standing there!" Whispered yelled another voice, this time male.

"Well, who else is going to hold the body? Do you want to get blood everywhere?"

"Come off it, I'm almost done anyway," Said the male voice yet again.

"James, I think I heard something" Whispered the Female voice again.

"It was probably a rabbit Minnie, we are in the forest after all," Said James calmly, his messy black hair was blowing everywhere in the wind."Okay, the holes are done, gently put the body in the hole." Explained James.

Minnie tossed the body in the hole in the ground, wiping the blood on her dress.

"I said gently, what part of gently did you not get?"Asked James.

"Shut up," Said Minnie aggressively " Can we just quickly get this body covered up and leave?"

As the darkness of the night progressed, James and Minnie covered the body, slowly the body could no longer be seen.

"What should we do with the shovel then? Don't they know we used it"Quietly asked Minnie?

"Of course not, how would they possibly know we used the shovel to cover a damn body?"James asked sarcastically.

"Well Sorry, I never killed anyone before, I don't know what to do"

"Just bring the shovel, it won't look suspicious with your fingerprints on it, "Said James. His forehead was covered in a sweat from covering the body.

"Hey, who was this guy anyway?"Asked Minnie, wiping some dust off of her grey sweater, her red hair was tied back but still somehow had some dirt in it.

"His name is Michael Brandstord, he worked at some big hotshot company"Whispered James.

"Wasn't your father's name Michael?"She questioned aloud.

"Not important, come on let's go before your parents get suspicious"

Minnie grabbed the shovel while James took one last sweeping look over the area to make sure everything seemed normal and not out of place, he littered some sticks and rocks over the dirt above the body to make it look like the rest of the forest floor.

"Ready?"Asked Minnie, the bloody shovel was dropping the victim's blood into the plastic bag that the shovel was held in. James nodded at her and together they walked in the darkness near the city nearby."Hey, why did you kill that guy anyway?"Minnie questioned

"That's not important right now, we just need to get home now before someone sees us and we get caught"Said James, getting his keys ready while they approached his black jeep. "Let's just say..he was a bad guy that was going to do terrible things" Minnie's face sunk and turned pale as she climbed into the car.

"But James, We just murdered somebody! What if we get caught and go to jail? Or get killed ourselves? We can't go to jail, I want to go to college and have a life and gr-" Before Minnie could finish her mini speech James cut her off holding his hand over her mouth.

"We aren't going to get caught trust me, we just got to play cool, act normal, no one will know it was us, we have the murder weapon with us, how are they even going to find out?" He waited for an answer when she had none he continued" Don't worry okay? Everything will be fine. Plus it brought us closer together."He explained

"How?"She asked.

"It's our imperfect murder, it's like releasing all our troubles as a couple into killing!"

"Just shut up and get me home" snapped Minnie while rolling her eyes.

James started the car, the engine roared into the silent night as they drove out to the city, thinking about all the troubles ahead, and boy is their troubles ahead.
