Our lives changed with just336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlevoAtuFCw
the sound of a gunshot.
One night, one gunshot, one dead body336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMTwqQF2ZJ
discovered the next morning.
That was how my best friends and I got tangled336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYAecuLu02
up in a murder mystery that changed not just our summer plans, but our entire336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGN1qWcuje
lives.
Here I am right now, sitting in my bedroom and336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZextZ8wM7u
looking impatiently at the time waiting the doorbell to ring. Evelyn and I had336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UXRNtnf8f
to search the Smith’s mansion for a clue. This is our third search since the336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhSYLaYCMb
murder. The second search left a sour taste in our mouth. Iris, one of our best336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2flgQQj28U
friends, was almost killed. She is currently in the hospital in a coma.336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1EUeTPFNg
“indefinite” the doctor had said. These words echoed in my head and drove me to336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXF28peBSu
get to the bottom of this mystery.
7:45am
The doorbell rang.
Finally.
I picked my stuff, ran out of my room, down the336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawSLNejNiN
stairs and to the door. I flung it open.
“After a million years! We336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1igNM1jFO
have no time. Let’s leave now!” I stated as I pulled my tote bag along with me.
I know I was being quite bossy and336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAh8KunY9k
dramatic but, in my defense, my heart was beating like crazy, and I just wanted336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiRxxfr93n
to get things over with. I was already overthinking things as it was already.336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrb2C12s7UF
All I could think of was the fact that Iris was almost murdered, and her killer336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKd6l31wtXq
is running free. Probably camping out at the Smith`s mansion… or in my house. I336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7Y8KG9kzm
don’t know, and I don’t even want to think about anything else but to find the336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6RSxX6nl5
answer. And the answer, is behind those huge thick doors of the smith`s house.336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkpA0U7L3c
And today, I hope to uncover it.
Those doors…. quite like that of the336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU57pmuUZls
entrance to hell. All these years, I had never seen the house as such a scarred336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2JnUfCt11
monument. But at the beginning of summer break, things changed. LOADS of336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTZIEjwVJ8
things. And I must deal with these changes.
Evelyn stepped in front of me and dropped336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsr7BVluXuM
the duffel bag on the dusty porch.
“Ready when you are!” she announced336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADFjZtIoZY
as she dropped to her knees and unzipped the bag.
“Ready!” I replied. For some odd336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPy3THkiJ1
reasons, that word was so difficult for me to say. It seemed like the weirdest336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTAHfZ0vKa
thing to admit. Who in their right senses would be born ready to go exploring336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlG55fSl0U
an abandoned house where a murder was committed, where her best friend was336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUgiYXYVMz
almost killed, and most importantly, where a potential killer is hiding.
“Done!’ Evelyn announced as she336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfg51z2ktUa
straightened up and pushed the door opened just a crack.
“Wait!” I demanded, preventing her336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLDZEnVFos
from going in. “We should know that as we are walking into this place, we might336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogwLSU8npa
be the next target.”
“Yeah, I know. And we should be very336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIdw1WEtop
careful.”
“Very! You have your backup336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJojE20CANf
flashlights, right?”
“Never go anywhere without them!”
We laughed nervously. Evelyn then gave me336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIy62qC2hlI
a reassuring nod, then pushed the door open. Taking a huge breath, we walked336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjVqU0Df9y
into our very own doom.
The house greeted us with the usual336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH79fXn373V
dust. We went around the house. Our circle336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN46yFJx7ZC
of white light from our torch, followed us on our journey. I clutched my pepper336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPM0wJILGSb
spray tight in my other hand with my heart beating like crazy. Everything seemed336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwi9tBafcdB
to be going well, till we got to the study.
When we approached the study, I already decided not to go in. Because that was where Iris was almost murdered. I336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANb3A2bXf7
began walking away from the room. Then the strangest thing happened.
I heard a voice.
MY voice, but in my head. The voice willed me to336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sDLc94b59
go into the study. I tried shaking of the strange feeling and walking away, but336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGSEfbm780
I felt myself being dragged to the door.336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwdRJq6eEB
NO… Not dragged. I was WALKING! Even336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9kfMdYXRo
though I didn’t want to go, I saw myself walking towards the study.
Fear gripped my whole being. I336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCTQSl5GID
heard Evelyn`s voice ask if I was ok.
“OF COURSE NOT!” I screamed. “I can336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5diiXbGvMa
hear my own voice in my head telling me to do what I don’t want to.”
Adrenaline flowed through my veins336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaXM2aHdTm
as I listened to myself talking. To my horror, that wasn’t what I screamed. I heard336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1YBxcuP7c
myself scream: “I AM FINE! LET’S JUST GET THIS OVER WITH!”
WHAT? That so not what I wanted to336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgyq4fFziB
say. I stared at Evelyn as she asked me what was wrong with me. She explained336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIaLgUD9fD
that she understands how I feel but I need to be calm.
“Did you sleep at all last night?”
I didn’t even give her a reply. Maybe336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNfdAhE5sp
that’s it. Maybe because I didn’t get enough sleep last night, I am hearing336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pDp44Aiqm
things.
“Sorry Eve, I didn’t mean anything I336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FtoGmmQHH
said.” I apologized. As we continued our search.
We walked away from the study door336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMRwCBu4vz
again. Then I heard it loud and clear this time.
“GET336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSpN7xKSOu
IN THERE!”.
I was so startled that I sprayed my spray into Evelyn’s eyes out of336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr35PFJX9pF
shock. I dropped the pepper spray, quite dazed. I started apologizing but336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeck3sWvZX1
stopped in shock. I stared at Evelyn in surprise.
Something is wrong. Very wrong.
Evelyn wasn’t in pain. In fact, she didn’t336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡombMW65Fld
look as though she was in pain at all. Instead, she smiled at me, walked336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHz9WkZKquE
towards the study door, and opened it.
“Evelyn, are you ok?” I asked as the336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Li0IwvwBP
fear and shock I felt made my leg quiver.
“Yes, I am! Fiona. She wants us to336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNgQqKhSlc
search the study!” she replied in a hypnotic way and with a horrific smile.
“Who?” I stammered as I looked336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnGuPh8Dvv
around in fear. Everything about this house is just off.
"The336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFH5TPBwqd5
girl." Eve replied impatiently. Still with that weird smile on her face. Then she336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6AzDKgrZf
added, “The girl that always tells us what to do.”
Then she disappeared into the room.
