EDIT: Thanks for your very useful answers, everyone!

I was typing the original post in haste, and left out a few vital details:

PvP is okay in our campaign, as long as it is reasonable and in character. Also, the bard character I killed and my character have had very long-running animosity. The player was okay with his character being killed and is currently working on a new one.

I play as Neutral Evil Dread Necromancer and, generally, am a bit of a jerk. My character enjoys animating corpses into undead, though doesn't necessarily take huge enjoyment from doing the killing himself.

Anyway, the Bard of our party fell down a huge pit trapped which left him near death. I had an item at the time that allowed me to tunnel through dirt and stone, so I went to see how he was. Finding him nearly dead, I offered to save him if would repay me. He declined, so I killed him and animated him.

As you can imagine, the rest of the party isn't very happy. They're also metagaming (as they couldn't see it happen) A LOT. So, a couple of them are basically out for my blood (unreasonably, considering their characters) and I'm not sure how to survive past the next few sessions. I'm level 8.

Any ideas?

The player was okay with his character being killed (after the fact. He didn't know it was coming beforehand) and is currently working on a new one (further note: the bard character was also evil [Lawful Evil]).
