I'd say it's suitable for all ages. ALSO: This story is a spoiler for those who have not yet seen 'The Blessing Way' and 'Paperclip', so if you haven't seen these two eps, read no further! SUMMERY: Scully at Melissa's Funeral, looking for something to grasp onto, something to continue living for. She finds it. >Please be patient with me, this is my first ever story to 'The X-files' fan fic list, so I hope I'm doing this right! 'Melissa's Funeral' is a *very* short story, which I wrote after seeing 'The Blessing Way' and 'Paperclip' in 1995, following seeing my favorite guest character, Melissa Scully, die from everybody's most popular double agent, RATBOY. Enjoy, it, I was having a fit of emotional writing when i wrote this. > >DISCLAIMER: I don't own Scully, Mulder, nor Melissa. They are characters owned by CC and his company with the magic numbers, 10-13. Read on! >--------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ > ~~ MELISSA'S FUNERAL~~ > >Scully stood with her mother, trembling, in front of her sister's grave. It was 1995, a chilling grey afternoon, and her sister, Melissa, was dead. 'It was all my fault', Scully thought, tears streaming down her face. 'That bullet was meant for me.' As the minister droned on, Scully thought of all the trials and tribulations she and her sister shared growing up. Her sister, with thick aubern hair just as her, streaming in the wind. Yet her hair would flow in the wind no longer. Her sister, lending a listening ear when Dana could no longer suffer through the horrors of the X-Files. Yet, her sister could no longer listen. > >Scully saw him, standing in the trees far away from the funeral. He was tall, with dark hair. Mysterious. He had known Melissa, though not as well as Scully. Scully knew why the man would not come in. The man had suffered enough horror, since he too had lost a sister, long ago. Seeing the man brought more tears to Scully's eyes, because she knew. She knewthe man's pain. She had seen the fear in his eyes while he was tortured daily with his obsession, and how it always, always led him to dead ends. The man had spied her looking at him, and he walked through the cemetary gates, and up to her. When the man reached Scully, he bent down to give her a small kiss on her cheek, and held her hand. Scully knew if he ever, ever let go again, she wouldn't go on. And while Fox Mulder and Dana Scully looked on, Melissa was lowered into her grave where she would stay for eternity. > >And Mulder never let go of her hand. > >*************************************************************************** ****** > >
