It took three days for the police to sort the whole mess out, for me they were three very painful days. After the initial shock and hurt wore off I just wanted the whole ordeal behind me. I realised I did also want Celeste arrested she may be my sister but she took everything from me, I had so much left to do and she cut me off. I lived all those years of unbelievable loneliness because of her and I need her to feel remorse just the slightest bit would be enough over the three days I didn't see that I just say her try to cover her tracks.
I was sitting in Carlisle study when I got the news. Alice was telling him of her latest vision. A nomad was passing through I was glad of the distraction.
"Your sure she just passing through" Carlisle asked
"Yeah, that her intention she's on her way to Canada, I don't think she'll even kill anybody her she's not thirsty"
"Should we approach her? Contact her?"
"I don't think that's a good idea, there's too many of us she might be frightened and just try to attack us she definitely cross our scents if she wants to meet us she'll find us but I don't think she will"
"Okay, we'll keep an eye out though and I'll say it to Edward too"
"Melanie come quickly" Rosalie called from downstairs
I was down in a second, the news was on. I watched as pictures of me flashed up and footage of my sisters arrest
Celeste Dolour was arrested today at her Florida home to face murder charges in New Hampshire, she will stand trial for the brutal murder of her sister Melanie Taylor, They are the daughters of billionaire entrepreneur George Taylor, CAO of the Taylor Corporation neither Mr Taylor the company have released statements, police receive evidence three day ago which tie Mrs. Dolour directly to her sister's murder, Miss Taylor was killed six years ago at only eighteen years of age she was stabbed…..
"It's just as well really they arrested her I was going to suggest you kill her" Rosalie added
"Rosalie!" Bella and Esme scolded at the same second
"It's okay I know she means well but I never could" I sighed
The police had all the evidence they need and three days after the discovery in the well they arrested her. It was all over the every news stations the Cullens were very supportive but eventually I need out of the house to be away but I didn't want to be alone. I went to see Tommy it was after midnight and he was asleep.
He was like a peaceful angel just lying there breathing in and out, so relaxed and serene. I lay on the bed beside him, it was somehow reassuring hearing him breathe like reminding me he was still alive. I thank god he is still alive.
"Well Tommy, It was Celeste, Didn't see that coming?" I asked his sweet unconscious body
"No, me neither, the police reckon it was for money"
"Of all things to be killed for that must be the most upsetting, don't you think?" I asked the unresponsive body again.
"Apparently Dad, was going to sign over some small part of the company to me early to give me an income and allow me to travel with the orchestra, sounds just like him, in fact knowing him it would have been enough for both you and I, so sweet and she got jealous and greedy, for something I never asked for, something I didn't even know was going to happen" I paused
"I came to see you tonight because I feel there's a change coming, I feel it in myself, I'm ready to leave I think I am going to be leaving soon, this is sort of goodbye I think I don't have too long more, Tommy"
"I wish you could hear me so badly but this talking to your sleeping body is all I can do, I will miss you sweetie, you know I've had a lot of time to think what with having nothing better to do, I think you and I would have eventually ended up together, I mean it would have taken us forever but I really think we would have, I get on with nobody better, nobody made me laugh more, there is nobody I have more wonderful memories with, we would have had the wedding, kids, grandkids, the works, I would have liked that you reminding me when we are old and grey and almost immobile of the day you rescued me from the well, that's the other reason I have to leave you'll be doing all that with somebody else, she'll never be good enough for you, you know and it will break my heart, it's self preservation, you understand don't you?"
"I knew you would, it would be a pity to fight now when we most truly part, I'll be waiting on the other side that I promise but I need you to promise that you won't follow me for a very long time, I want you to live for both of us now, enjoy every moment because when it's over it really is over, trust me just live Tommy" soft tears rolled down my cheek
I pressed my lips on his softly briefly
"I love you truly I do, I wish I had told you that just once for real"
"Goodbye my sweetheart, until we meet again"
I went and sat on the well, I didn't cry I just waited till dawn, watching the sun rise from where I sat and then returned to the Cullens house.
When I entered the house, there was nobody to be seen.
"Can I speak to you all please?" I spoke as if they were all standing in front of me and after a few seconds they all were.
"I feel like I'm on the verge of something I've felt in the pit of my stomach, all day, I think I'm leaving" I smiled sadly
"Leaving?" Esme said sadly
"I think so, I mean I'm not sure but I feel it but I want to say thank you for everything, I don't know what I would have done without ye" I sobbed softly and Alice wrapped her arms around me
"I don't want you to go" Alice sobbed too but her tears didn't fall
"I'll miss you too Alice but I can't live not really" I choked out she released me and I wasn't even free for a second when Esme had her arms wrapped around me
"I can't believe your leaving us" Esme said squeezing me
"Find a good home for the Stradivarius, it deserves to be played" I said through my sobs
"You are a remarkable young lady, Melanie I glad to have known you" Carlisle said thankfully less emotional than his wife as he gave me a hug
"I would have left the painting down the well if I'd known you'd be leaving so soon" Jasper said taking his turn hugging me
"Thanks Jasper" I replied
I hugged each of them in turn I was really going to miss these vampires. By the end I was all out of tears. Finally, I got to Edward.
"I'll miss you playing the violin the house will seem quiet" Edward teased
"Well maybe you should get some lessons for Nessie"
At first I was a little worried that nothing was going to happen, that the feeling in my stomach was my own imagination but as I pulled away from Edward's hug I saw it over his shoulder.
I gasped "It's so beautiful" I just stared into it. Bright White Light
I'm not finished just yet I have a few more chapters, I've two endings in mind that I have to decide on not really sure just yet. If you have any suggestions I'm all ears.
