*On previous night*

The cold breeze, on its way to reach the other end of its path, was touching my skin gently making the hair on my skin to stand. Though it was the pitch black darkness that was surrounding me, all I could focus was on a pair of bright beautiful brown eyes of him staring at mine.

Him.

My lifeline.

Though I'd never said him that he was what all I wanted, he knew that he was the only one that all I had. Generally, 'Bestie' and 'Mano' were the names I use while calling him, but he never knew that he was my 'love' and my 'Man of life'.

"Do my eyes look that interesting suddenly?" He asked me pushing my thoughts away and of course, with that heart 'attacking' smirk on his face.

"Then where else should I stare? At a gravestone? Or at some imaginary terrifying form in that fog?" I looked away from him wondering why he'd choose this cemetery instead of taking me to some pleasant garden or lake.

"Come on killer, you killed another human even though I did warned you not to and where else could you think I can take you?" that smirk in his face disappeared and he frowned. Ohh well! That poor little rich bitch!

"Sorry." I apologized looking down towards my feet.

"Hmm".

We both sat on one of the stones and waited to know who would talk first and break the silence.

"You said nothing about your new friends?" He asked me after waiting for a long period of nothing but silence.

"Those five? I don't think that they are my friends." I said running my fingers through my long brown hair.

"Ohh, then who are they?" He asked raising an eyebrow.

"Leave about them okay?" I almost spatted at him.

He thought for sometime and asked finally, "Well, where on the earth did you hide that body?"

"I'll say you, for sure. But not now anyway."

"Why?" He cried.

"You know, you'll end up making things complicated." I half lied.

"I won't and I never did." He said and it was completely true.

I took a deep breath and turned to him, "Somewhere deep in the forest."

"So, you sure you have left nothing, like some clue to the cops on your way?" He questioned. Well, he being my bestie, did a lot of unforgettable stuff to me like checking out the place after a murder, which if ignored may ended up throwing me in jail. I did lost a page in my journal when travelling to here, Ooty. But I had it with me now though.

"Sure. I was very careful and yeah, no one can ever imagine that the missing lady is under that soil." I said confidently.

He nodded and opened his mouth to say something but stopped as the crushing sound vibrated the air. It was clear that the sound came because of a twig breaking under someone's feet.

Someone are here...

Other than us...

Listening to us...

We both turned around to see a boy and a girl with their pale fear filled faces staring at us. They looked young.

"Do you think they're humans or they're, some spirits?" I asked my bestie. Well, whatever.

He laughed, "they're obviously humans for killer's sake. See the sweat forming over their foreheads despite of the cold chilling weather."

They were afraid. No, terrified or horrified. They must have heard us talking about the murder. Or they must have thought that we were ghosts.

The girl turned to run away pulling him with her but then they froze as Mano spoke, "You are going to mess this up. No one is around us like upto many miles. Just don't run and waste your energy. I promise, I can run four times faster than you guys." He turned to me and grinned, "Remember all those medals I won in running race in our school?"

I nodded giving back a grin. The boy pulled out his phone from his pocket and tried dialling. The screen went off displaying the phone company's name and everything went black again. Luck was with us. His battery was dead.

"Fuck." He looked us, "I swear we won't discuss this with anyone. We never saw you and you never saw us. Let us go". He begged. So he heard everything.

"No Mano. They saw me. Please kill them." I said watching his brown eyes. He nodded. They both shivered with fear.

It didn't take much time to finish these pair. I'm so sorry for them. I didn't want to kill them as they were not more than twenty five years old and they did no sin. But all they did was hearing us. Now that they saw us, they may inform it to the police or they may spread the talk that the missing lady was murdered, as till now no one except me, mano and the dead lady only knew that she was dead. They should've gone to some other place. Poor lovers.

I dragged the girl's body and mano lifted boy's body after they were dead. After conforming like for hundred times that no one was around the premises to which we brought the bodies, Mano poured the alcohol from his bottle and burnt the bodies.

I took out the small red paper of my journal that I'd lost in train and had thrown it into the fire which was now eating away the bodies skin and flesh. After few minutes, he did put off the fire by using a wooden bark. I stood there watching him. He then buried the half burnt bodies into the soil.

I smiled at him when he completed everything. It took nearly three hours to do this all and get out of the deep forest we entered.

"Lucky we haven't caught by any wild animal and eaten up." He laughed once we were into our car. We parked it few miles away from the cemetery, so that we can walk for some time and it took another hour to reach it.

I slid down the window glass and closed my eyes to feel the running wind against my face.

"Killer." Mano called me.

"Yes."

"Do you know that you love me?" He asked this question for nth time now.

"No. I don't love you." I lied this answer for nth time as well. But he never stopped asking this question atleast once a day.

It was 3:30 am and the morning light began to lighten up the hills. The light. Which corresponds to the person sat beside me driving and the sun which was going to rise in few minutes. I frowned at the fact that I was going to enter into the dark after this very ride and with my new friends, well not friends but with my companions-Sushma, Nikitha, Vishal, Karthik, Vineetha and Krishna.
