Okay so FF decided to be a total douche and fuck with me. I accidentally uploaded chapter 32 twice so you might need to go back and read 33 before you read this...hopefully it will be the right fucking chapter now. If you don't know I am contemplating suicide, then you have not read the right chapter 33. ;)
With one last kiss I walk away from Bella and into my house.
Elizabeth is just standing next to the stairs.
I decide I am going to ignore her.
I pass by her and start up to the second floor.
Glass is all over the carpet from the picture frames she must have smashed.
"She is the evil one you know. Father told me. She killed our mother and I am sure she killed her adoptive parents too." Elizabeth says loudly and I can hear Bella's gasping breaths from outside.
I am furious.
But I have a job to do and I need to stick to my plan.
I keep walking.
I manage to snag two boxes this time and make it all the way back down to the kitchen before I see Elizabeth again.
"I will never let you leave here." She breathes into my ear as I pass.
Damn it.
Bella and I sort through the boxes as we sit on the porch and just as I expected, Charles Swan kept a journal all the way up until he died.
The most recent one is sitting on the porch between us.
I open it to the last entry and read.
Oh Renee…what have I done? When Billy Black called me I refused to believe it. There was no way I could have made a mistake. Sure I had seen Elizabeth's behavior getting worse over the years but I thought it was a phase. But to hear that he has never seen Isabella exhibit any of the behaviors we expected…I'm at a loss. I don't know what to do. But to think that I have lived with the enemy all these years…I think it is clear what I must do. She must be stopped before she can hurt anyone else.
Charles Swan was one fucked up man.
Bella is looking out towards the woods and I know what she is thinking.
She is thinking that Elizabeth is dead because of her.
But she is wrong.
Now we just need to find a way to prove that to her dead sister.
