In this part of the story, Amanda is 17 years old. Her sister has moved out and her brother has disappeared into the world of hard drugs. She rented an apartment in an hour distance from her parents, she was going to a good school, learning computer science.

Sigga and Alexa were also in this school. She had a part time job and had gotten acquainted with her fellow staff. Guðrún and Villhjámur helped their daughter financially so that she could focus enough on school. She had been buying stuff over time to kill and get rid of ao body, one thing at a time. She paid for everything with money to leave no paper trail.

Her 18th birthday was tomorrow and she was going out for dinner tonight to celebrate. She and Ted were beginning to get frustrated, they wanted to murder someone and soon. It wasn’t enough anymore to fantasize about it and killing animals here and there. They were kind of ready though and they wanted to begin at last. Amanda did what she did every morning, went out for a run. She ran through a park and saw a girl. She was dirty and homeless. Ted said “this one” Amanda answered “yes this one.” She quickly ran home.

She dried herself and put plastic all over her apartment. She put a canvas in the middle of the living room and put paint on it, the floor and walls. She took two bottles of beer and two bottles of coke. She picked up a syringe and put a sleeping medicine in it by jabbing the needle through the cap on the bottles, those bottles she put in the door of her fridge so as to not accidentally drink those herself.

Her heart was pounding as she walked out the door. “Ted, is this really happening?” He answered “yes, everything is ready, acid to get rid of the body, a saw, rope, an axe and a knife. We’re ready.” Amanda smiled and heard Ted laughing hysterically in her head.

Amanda walked to the park and thought thank god she is still there. Amanda went up to her and asked her if she was hungry and the girl nodded. Amanda handed her a sandwich and she took it. “Poor thing you look dirty and exhausted. Why don’t you come with me, you can shower at my place. I have clothes that you can wear.” The girl looked suspicious. “Why are you so nice to me? You don’t know me.” Amanda told her that she had made a promise to herself to do one good deed a day and the girl believed, thankfully her. They started walking and the girl told her why she was on the street. She said she wasn’t a drug addict but a prostitute to live though. Her parents has kicked her out when they found out she was gay. Amanda couldn’t care less but she pretended to be interested and sympathetic. They arrived at her apartment, Amanda opened the door “sorry about the plastic, I was painting and I always make such a mess” and forced out an awkward laugh. The girl just smiled at her and went inside. Amanda went to the guest bedroom and picked up two blankets. She put one on the plastic covered sofa and handed the girl the other one. “Do you want something to drink?” Amanda said “I have beer or coke.” The girl said she wanted a beer so Amanda went and got the beer from the fridge. She handed her the beer and a bottle opener. She drank the beer in 3 gulps “I’m sorry, I’m just so thirsty.” Amanda just smiled and handed her another beer. They talked a little then the girl held her head and said “I don’t feel so well.” Amanda said “Maybe you should lay down a little.” She laid down and fell asleep. Amanda shook her a little to see if she’d wake up, then went to the toilet and to get rid of the coke she drank.

Then she took the rope tied the girl’s hands and feet and stuffed a sock in her mouth and tape over her mouth. Amanda then went to the kitchen and found herself something to eat, she wanted to have enough energy for the task ahead. “Should we wake her up yet?” Ted asked “not yet, in about a half an hour I think. Oh, I can’t wait to kill her.” Amanda laughed, enjoying herself. She got coffee and watched the girl sleep.

In about an hour Amanda went again to the kitchen and put ice and water in a bucket. She went to the girl and splashed it in her face. The girl woke up and took a few deep breaths. When she realized she was bound and gagged, she tried to scream, but the sock muffled it. Amada looked at her and smiled “you have no idea how long we have waited for this, Ted and I, Me and Ted.” Amanda chuckled and put her hands around her neck, the girl tried to fight back but couldn’t move much, she looked her right in the eyes and squeezed. When the girl was almost out Amanda let go and the girl gasped for air. “Wow! This feels so good, I’ve never felt anything like this! It’s like I’m god! I decide whether you live or die” Amanda choked her again, then let go and did that a few times. The girl cried and and begged. That didn’t help her much, Amanda and Ted just became more excited and picked up the axe. She swung the axe which was aimed for her neck and came down with a loud crunching noise. Blood spewed everywhere from the severed arteries all over Amanda. She put the axe down, breathing hard. It was perfect, like a heroin addict getting his long wanted fix. Amanda felt something she had never felt before. Was it sexual? Maybe, she’d never had this feeling. “Ted? we did it!” Ted said “It feels so good being able to kill after all this planning and waiting.” Amanda smirked and Ted laughed. Amanda looked down on her hands and there was blood. She licked a little of her fingers.

Then her phone peeped “Shit! Dinner is in an hour! I can’t chop her up tonight. She took the body and rolled it in plastic and then she put her in the guest bedroom. She went out of clothes and took the plastic that was everywhere. She jumped in the shower and quickly put on some makeup. Her phone rang, her parent were outside.
