Committing murder is easy. What comes after is the difficult and painful part.
This is something that two girls were coming to the realization of a little too late.
[Sis, how about we throw his body into the ocean?]
[I mean we could...but what about his family members? We can't throw that many bodies into the ocean...]
[FUCK!! SIS!! Why did you have to get this dumbass's family involved!!] shouted Jenna, visibly frustrated.
[Why didn't you stop my stupid decisions Jen...You could have stopped me from getting them involved]
[What you MEEEEEAAAANNNNNNN, MY FAULT??!!! Sis, you know very well that I will never go against your decisions!!]
[I know, I know, I know THAT!! I'm sorry OK?! I'm an idiot, an idiot, A COMPLETE IDIOT!!] complained Theresa, her head buried deep within her palms.
If it was just one body, the task would have been a bit easier but now that they have allowed his family to witness the murder and as a cherry on top, they have also injured them, Theresa now had to somehow deal with his family as well.
Including him, his parents, and two sisters, there was a lot on their plate to digest.
After the slight arguing, a heavy silence wrapped around the entire room.
A few minutes pass and Jenna notices Theresa silently weeping. Seeing the tears of her favorite person, her heart tightened and she immediately ran to Theresa's side and wrapped her in a big, warm hug.
[it's alright, it's alright, sis~ I KNOW FOR A FACT!! that we will find a way out of this] gently stroking her hair, she continued soothing the crying girl.
being wrapped in the familiar warmth, Theresa tightly locked her arms around Jenna's waist and buried her messy face in Jenna's chest.
'Your grip is a little too tight sis..' complained Jenna in her mind
[Why is your chest so flat *sob* *sob*...]
!!!
Though clear veins popped on her forehead, Jenna still didn't let go and gently kept scrubbing Theresa's hair.
Looking at the vulnerable state Theresa was in she got reminded again of the fact that
'Though sis acts like a Queen and perfect human in front of others, in reality, she's just a big n dumb crybaby]
But it was exactly this same crybaby who had saved her from the depths of despair before.
Her gratitude towards Theresa was second to none, the moment she was saved, Jenna made an oath to herself
'I will follow this person to the deepest reaches of hell'
After her tears dried up, Theresa peeked slightly up and saw Jenna looking at her lovingly.
Her soft hand ruffing her hair and the sense of ease she felt, this moment, this person, she couldn't let anything destroy it.
she WOULDN'T let anything destroy it.
Even though her will was steeled once more, the reality was rather grim.
How was she going to hide this body?
How was she going to deal with his family?
How was she going to evade the investigation?
How was she going to protect both of them?
'I can't do anything to protect us'
A simple but frustrating acceptance.
Even if she committed a murder, she should have prepared enough measures for them to get out of this mess.
Taking decisions on the spur of the moment, and acting recklessly, were the mistakes she realized she shouldn't have made.
She shouldn't have gotten the family involved.
She shouldn't have committed the crime inside the school.
She shouldn't have done this, or that, or maybe that too.
She bit way more than she could chew
'I have to get outside help'
Theresa knew she wasn't capable enough to cover up something this large, but she knew someone who could help them.
She didn't want to get this person's help.
But desperate times call for desperate measures.
She just had to be more level-headed from now, she couldn't afford to commit such mistakes in the future.
With a fog of uncertainty dispersing from her eyes, her vision became clear. Theresa propped her head up and brought it an inch closer to Jenna's
With newfound determination, she spoke
[Jen, we are going to get out of this mess I have created]
[Y-yes!] though flustered, she replied immediately
[We are going to contact him]
[him?.........AH!!! W-WAIT!! Are you sure about this Sis?!] just hearing about him caused heavy sweat to drip from Jenna's head and palms.
[Yes. Only he can cover up for my fuck up this time]
[well...if you think so, then I will follow...] though a bit reluctant, Jenna gave her nod in the end
Theresa sitting on the sofa cross legged and Jenna laying her head on Theresa's thighs curling her long purple hair around her fingers, Theresa finally took the phone out of her pocket and dialed a certain number.
The ringtone played for a few seconds and then the person on the other side picked up.
[Oh my, oh my, oh my, will you look at that. How has such a diligent and kind person contacted someone like me?]
Theresa curled her hand into a fist, she didn't like this person, for one he always makes fun of her, and second, he seemed to always know what was going on.
Biting down on her frustration, she spoke.
[I-I....]
[mm? 'I-I' what?]
Anger started boiling inside her, her nails almost dug into her skin. Suddenly a hand laid to rest upon her clenched fist.
Tracing the origins, her eyes met with Jenna's resolute face.
With her delicate hand, she gave a soft punch to Theresa's belly, silently speaking simple words
[fight o'!!]
Seeing her cute actions, Theresa's frantic heart and shaking body calmed down. She opened her clenched hand and locked it with Jenna's
this was not time for her to get swept up in emotions, she had learned that lesson hard away just a few hours ago. Thankfully, she had her reliable little sister to help keep her emotions in check.
[Hellllllooooo~ anybody still there? I will hang up in 3...2...]
[Yes, Sir Kumar, I want your help]
[1.....mm? well, well, well, this is something. How can I help someone of your stature?]
Again with the mocking tone, but Theresa didn't let it get to her this time
[Sir, I have killed someone...]
[...]
[...]
[oooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~ MY, MY, MY, SO THE LITTLE ANGEL HAS FINALLY DONE IT MMM?]
[y-yes sir, what happened was--
After telling him the course of events so far, she waited for the reply from the other side, of course, she didn't tell him anything about her power or stuff related to the witch.
[You really are dumb, aren't you Miss]
Veins popped on Theresa's forehead, but she just clenched Jenna's hand more tightly to calm down
'ouch, ouch, OUCH!!' Jenna felt her hand cramping but she didn't leak her voice, she must endure the pain.
[Yes sir, I know I have made a dire mistake]
[That you did, that you indeed did Miss Theresa. You should have thought about this murder more thoroughly]
[Yes sir, I know it now]
[But really, such a stupid and rookie mistake, I expected better from you]
'I expected better from myself too...' though frustrated with his words, Theresa knew he was right
[Well anyways, I promise it on my own name as Kumar, that I shall lend my expertise to you, be grateful]
[Yes, thank you, sir, I'm very grateful]
'ah ah AH! My hand Sis, my HAND!!!!'
[BUT, of course, in return you shall do me favour]
Of course, he was not going to cover up for her for free
[Yes sir, I will anything within my power]
[Good, then, I want you to kill a certain someone who goes to your academy]
Shocked, Theresa's eyes opened wide, the tension in her body starting to break through the ceiling.
Seeing Theresa's body visibly shaken, Jenna started rubbing Theresa's hands to help her calm down. Theresa looked down at Jenna and nodded, she took a deep breath and continued
[u-ummm..yes sir?]
[I want YOU to merk a certain teacher at your school. Of course, this time, without causing all this mess]
[but sir, why me? You can easily accomplish something like this...]
[The WHY? HOW? WHEN? that's not for you to know right now. I will help you cover up your mistake and you will complete my one simple request, agree or not?]
Theresa looked at the dead body lying in front of her, and her brain thought of his family members that she has bound to her house right now.
Finally, she looked down at Jenna's worrying face.
Though selfish, she didn't want Jenna to live her life alone. In a self-centered manner, she wanted both of them to live a long life, together.
She and her have not experienced much life yet, and even if their own life and happiness came at the cost of others, she didn't feel hesitant to catch that opportunity. She didn't want to live the rest of her life locked behind the prison, she wanted to be with Jenna.
If living together means becoming rotten and corrupt, then that is how it must be.
She had made a mistake and now she has to live with the consequences.
Was this line of thinking the witch's influence on her?
She didn't know. But she knew for a fact that this feeling of protectiveness for them both her and her sister was entirely her own.
With newfound determination, she locked her eyes with Jenna once again
Looking at her deep blue eyes and darling face filled with worries, a meaningful smile crept up on Theresa's face and Theresa made a decision.
[Yes SIR. I will kill the teacher perfectly this time]
[Good, very good, don't disappoint me this time, Miss Theresa]
*beep*
and with that, the phone got cut from the other side.
[Sooooo~ Sis ♥...we really going deep into this shit huh~?]
[Yes, I have made my decision]
[mhm]
[This may just be the start and we may have to dirty our entire souls from now]
[uhm]
[I know this is cruel of me to ask you, but I don't want to become dirty alone, So, Will Jen still accompany me?]
Jenna propped her head up from Theresa's thigh and touched their foreheads together.
With their eyes locked deep into each other, she replied
[Of course, is there even a need to ask ♥]
