you should be terrified. What you did was pretty bad, especially in this day where crazies are all over the place.
I hope she does report you, and you do get a visit from the police and they help instill in you how serious this is.

stay calm and don't worry it's nothing serious

This is a lesson for you. There is a limit to the freedom of speech law, if you say that you're going to kill someone, that is a threat and they can imprison you or interrogate you. If you're under 18, you probably will not be charged but you may receive a warning.

If this is a one-off then the police wouldn't be interested. If you make a habit of it, or if the threat was against someone being bullied by you and others, then the police might visit. If any such bullying was serious then you could be prosecuted, Depending on your age and other factors, the sentence could be up to custody for a criminal offence.
Simple thing: tone the language down and never, ever threaten or bully online. It would be a good thing to ass a post now, "I expressed an over the top threat against someone the other day: it was stupid and I apologise for any pain or distress caused."
