I stepped into the grand dinning room. I sucked in a steady breath and took my seat beside my mother and my husband Victor.

“It’s okay dear,” mother whispers in my ear. I lifted my fork and slowly began to eat. I spread a smile across my lips and tried to put forth a positive attitude thought, that was the last thing I had on my mind.

Currently I was pondering what one does with a dead body. Especially one they did not fine but one that they made. I could pretend that it was just some body I found but I doubted anyone would think I had just found it if the body was clearly days old. I could bury the body, but alas, the eyes of the village where always on me. The only reason they didn’t know that I was responsible was because it was my wedding the day I killed him.

I don’t even know why I did it. I was angry and the axe was right there. I just threw it and he was gone. His final words haunted me and I believed they always would.

“Melody, what is wrong dear,” Vistor said. I missed the way his voice sounded when he was away. I enjoyed each second he spoke like they where my last seconds of peace. Possibly they where if he figured out why I was late to the wedding and why I was late to dinner tonight.

“Oh, nothing, my love.” I answered.

“We can talk more about this after dinner,” he said. He patted my shoulder and went back to eating. I however, left my mind on the topic of death and let my body dodge question after question about things that I would much rather focus on if I could.

“Honey, let’s get you up stairs, Victor will meet you there,” my mother said. I excused my self from the table and wandered to our bedroom. I fell into tears when I collapsed onto the bed.

I wiped them away with my wrist and held back my wailing. Out of all the things I miss, the most of them all is that I miss innocence. After that I miss laughter without the impending thoughts of someone finding out. Or Victor finding out. I also miss Luke.

We where just in the woods together. I was all dressed for my wedding when all of the sudden he breaks out into yelling. He claimed that I was to good for Victor and that he couldn’t let me get married and throw all my potential away. He said I needed to be with him. I got so angry and scared that I took the axe from the tree stump and threw it. After that I ran to the shed and began to cry.

When I felt I was safe I slipped from the shed and crept into the clearing in wich we had fought. Once there, I saw his dead body and ran. I ended up at the ceremony covered in dirt with tear marks all down my cheeks.

I felt horible for making Victor look so bad inground of his parents. Though, I broke the sixth deadly sin. Wrath. Then Victor stepped into the room.

“Love, what is it. What’s on your mind.” He said, stepping closer to me and sitting beside me on the bed.

“Vic, I’m sorry. I’m so sorry,” I said. I was not going to tell him but I was still very sorry. I had ruined the night with his parents.

“Mel, it’s alright. Why are you sorry,” he asked.

“I killed Luke.”I said. I couldn’t keep it in any longer. I spit the words out and could never take them back. I couldn’t claim I was kidding, my life was over with one simple action and one simple sentence.

“Melody! You did what! Why? Tell me everything.” He said. He leaped up from the bed and had his arms out. I felt my heart sink and I gave up on keeping anything a secret now. It was all over.

“Victor, I can explain,” I said. Then I began to explain.
