Chapter 6 - who is the may Queen Killer?
The police dropped Megan home and sat with her whilst they waited for mother to arrive home. Megan sat quietly staring a head with her hands on her lap but she kept playing with her fingers which the police could see that Megan was nervous and shocked after seeing her sister's body lying in the woods in a tree.
10 minutes later Joan walked into the living room. Megan got up and rushed over to her mother and wrapped her arms around her and held her tight. Joan held Megan tight and they both sobbed their hearts out.
"Mrs Hunt, we have had a crew sent to the woods to see if they could find Melissa's body but, there is no word as of yet but we will let know as soon as we hear anything" Joan.
"I'm so sorry mom," Megan said feeling tears slip down her face. Joan just held on tightly to Megan not wanting to let her go because the last time she let go she lost her daughter and she wasn't going to let that happen again.
The police arrived in the woods where they started their search of the extensive grounds covering every part they could imagine. The chief parked and climbed out of the car locking it behind her and walked over to towards the police caution tape and ducked underneath.
"Is it her?" the chief asked as they walked further into the woods "Yes" a young rookie answered.
"Where is she?" the chief asked looking round "she's up there chief" an office pointed up into the branches of the tree seeing Melissa laying there lifeless on the branches as the rain came pouring down her long auburn hair dangling.
"Oh poor girl" an officer said looking up at Melissa.
"Has anyone informed the mother yet?" the chief asked turning away in disgust from Melissa's body not wanting to look at it.
"Mother knows, someone posted a photo of Melissa in the tree," the officer stated calmly glancing at Melissa wondering who could so this to a beautiful girl.
"Do we know who posted it?" the chief said bluntly.
"No chief but, the boys back at the station are on it" the chief nodded "Good, take that poor girl down" she turned to walk away as the woods were giving her the creeps, a shiver ran down her spine as she took one last glance at Melissa Hunt and then walked away.
The two men from the ME's Office walked over with a black body bag and took Melissa down from the tree and laid her down flat on to the bottom of the black bag on her back.
"She was too young to go" One ME said to another.
"Who could have done this to Melissa, everyone loved her"
"well someone obviously didn't feel the same way about her like we do or did" they sipped up the bag only to stop taking one last look the beauty queen "we will find who did this Melissa" and with that they sipped it up and picked up the bag between them both and carefully walked back towards their van with Melissa in tow.
The private ambulance slowly backed out of the parking space and slowly drove back onto the main road passing through the small town people stopped and gasped in shocking knowing who was in the back of that ambulance and their fears coming to the surface that someone had killed Melissa and no one had been caught as of yet set the whole town in to a panic mode.
The ambulance passed by Melissa's former home people stood outside their front door watching it drive by slowly, They gasped in shock placing their hands over their mouths whilst others placed their hands over their heart's feeling their breath leaving them for that moment and a pang in their hearts of sadness for Joan and Megan.
People were outside paying their respects for Melissa Someone had placed a lion beanbag toy on the top of a small tree lying down with a mini beauty queen sash just like Melissa had worn that fateful day. Others laid down teddy bears, notes, flowers, poems and some placed candles underneath the tree in a tribute to Melissa who was well loved and like by the small community.
Charlotte one of the girls that Melissa often baby sat she walked over towards the tree holding her mother's hand, bent down and placed a small teddy bear on the floor "Mummy is Melissa in heaven now with the angels?" the mother was take back by her daughters question she stuttered "err..Yes she will sweetheart" the mother bent down and placed a kiss on the top of her daughters head as they stood glancing at the tree and up into the bright sky "rest in peace Melissa, god bless you, you angel" the mother said quietly up at the bright blue sky feeling the warm rays kiss their skin.
Mayday 1980-
Mayday that fateful day Melissa sat quietly in the car nervously playing with her fingers looking out the car window.
"What's wrong with my mom?" Melissa pleaded
"Don't get all worried. She's gonna be alright" the lady said calmly
"So. Where... where is she? What kind of accident?" Melissa asked feeling panicky
"I don't know , it was a small accident your neighbour told me to get you. She's going to be alright" Melissa nodded.
"Where...where are we going?" Melissa said seeing the driver taking a different route.
"We're going to see your mom"
"What... I haven't been... – it doesn't..."
"It's alright, it's alright, it's the quick way," she said trying to calm Melissa down.
"Look I know this had ruined your big day, Melissa, but you know things like this... They just happen" the lady shrugged.
" Oh doe's Megan know about mum's accident?" Melissa reached in to her bag and grabbed her phone and dialled Megan's mobile only to have the phone snatched out of her hand.
"There's no need to ring her of course Megan knows" the lady said to her before he snatched her phone from her and then hit her which caused Melissa to hit her head hard on the side of the car which knocked her out and blood seeped from a large gash on the side of her head.
"Stupid girl" the woman shouted unaware that Melissa's phone was leaving a voice mail on Megan's phone.
Once they reached the destination the woman minutes later Melissa woke up but only to panic not knowing where she was so she began looking round seeing that she was still inside the car. Melissa tried to move but something had been tied on her wrists and Melissa began to sob. Calling out for help but it was no good no one was going to hear her.
"Mum" Melissa sobbed quietly
Melissa's side of the car opened "Oh my" she gasped in shock
"shut up" she barked and started pulling Melissa out of the car and started leading her deep into the woods where dumped her on to the ground but Melissa managed to kick her in the knee making her groan out in pain. Melissa got up and rushed into the forest.
Once she was sure that she was after she stopped to catch her breath she tried to get the plastic cuffs off but they weren't budging but she continued to try "Oh please" Melissa cried out quietly .
A twig snapped nearby Melissa buried herself further next to a large tree and poked round it carefully seeing the lady in the distance looking for her. Once she saw the lady go by she tried again to get the cuffs off when a hand grabbed her waist and lifted her up on her feet and she screamed and tried to fight her off.
"I don't know what you want" Melissa sobbed.
"I want you to tell me what you remember the day your father was killed?"
"I can't , I don't want to" Melissa pleaded.
"Tell me now," she snapped.
"I remember... coming home from school opening the front door calling out dad and mom but I got no reply"
"Then what"
"I went upstairs to see if anyone else was home so, I searched every room and still answer, I walked towards dad's office but I heard some kind of noise which I know was whispering and a gunshot but back then I didn't know and that's when I called out dad and opened the door to his study seeing.." Melissa began to sob.
"carry on"
"I saw my father dead with a gun shot wound"
"you remember more dig deeper Melissa"
"I kind of remember seeing someone else in the room it was dark but someone was there ... I can't see the face clearly ..." Melissa shuts her eyes trying to remember Melissa gasps in shock.
"the person I saw was you... wasn't it?"
"Bingo, well done I knew you would remember"
"I remember you turning round facing me placing a hand over your mouth telling me to be quiet then you left and I just ran off towards dad's shed"
"Good girl Melissa"
"But why Chief, why did you kill my father?"
"he was too close to the truth and now you so are you , you weren't meant to be there that day and you stopped me from killing you and now I am afraid I will have to take your life now you are remembering things" the chief said kneeling closer to Melissa.
"No please, I won't say anything I promise just let me go, I have kept it all these years"
"I'm sorry Melissa you just can't live" the chief wrapped her hands around Melissa's throat and began to squeeze hard restricting any air into her lungs. Melissa was struggling for her breath beating her hands hard against the chief's chest as she looked up into the cold eyes of her father's killer.
The chief felt Melissa's life slip from her when her body went limp Melissa took one final breath before closing her eyes and everything faded to black.
"I'm sorry Melissa but I had to do it" the chief said letting of Melissa's lifeless body and looked down at what she had just done.
