Our lives changed with just495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijtsbB4XFx
the sound of a gunshot.
One night, one gunshot, one dead body495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSPNG3RBG8
discovered the next morning.
That was how my best friends and I got tangled495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMxHvBckKG
up in a murder mystery that changed not just our summer plans, but our entire495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6diHiHjvEG
lives.
Here I am right now, sitting in my bedroom and495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nkLdTGeLR
looking impatiently at the time waiting the doorbell to ring. Evelyn and I had495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAqb5qkTFw
to search the Smith’s mansion for a clue. This is our third search since the495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfweLF74jw
murder. The second search left a sour taste in our mouth. Iris, one of our best495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTSLJPpx9M
friends, was almost killed. She is currently in the hospital in a coma.495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5Nnl8kD2t
“indefinite” the doctor had said. These words echoed in my head and drove me to495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxslMFfSG1
get to the bottom of this mystery.
7:45am
The doorbell rang.
Finally.
I picked my stuff, ran out of my room, down the495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbescwX2Bt7
stairs and to the door. I flung it open.
“After a million years! We495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oNy5cVvPe
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 and495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwppskimbz
dramatic but, in my defense, my heart was beating like crazy, and I just wanted495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYHZUDGmfV
to get things over with. I was already overthinking things as it was already.495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1m5bpom9v4
All I could think of was the fact that Iris was almost murdered, and her killer495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8m3I3zU7b
is running free. Probably camping out at the Smith`s mansion… or in my house. I495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HsHP94wA3
don’t know, and I don’t even want to think about anything else but to find the495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp41WhPnuLV
answer. And the answer, is behind those huge thick doors of the smith`s house.495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchnOOZwvzx
And today, I hope to uncover it.
Those doors…. quite like that of the495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDK3QRXq0sT
entrance to hell. All these years, I had never seen the house as such a scarred495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqlJwVa4ig
monument. But at the beginning of summer break, things changed. LOADS of495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYNwJkWqqO
things. And I must deal with these changes.
Evelyn stepped in front of me and dropped495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0El0u38x0p
the duffel bag on the dusty porch.
“Ready when you are!” she announced495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ccsm1vtxG
as she dropped to her knees and unzipped the bag.
“Ready!” I replied. For some odd495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuI6aG9Mg1
reasons, that word was so difficult for me to say. It seemed like the weirdest495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDjJK0RYoF
thing to admit. Who in their right senses would be born ready to go exploring495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTVcdSgquH
an abandoned house where a murder was committed, where her best friend was495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gOLiAEd4M
almost killed, and most importantly, where a potential killer is hiding.
“Done!’ Evelyn announced as she495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFO8HbYbh9
straightened up and pushed the door opened just a crack.
“Wait!” I demanded, preventing her495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunApL1uZoM
from going in. “We should know that as we are walking into this place, we might495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSNQJ5RROL
be the next target.”
“Yeah, I know. And we should be very495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oKPUYFrjT
careful.”
“Very! You have your backup495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cxqT7Kr4e
flashlights, right?”
“Never go anywhere without them!”
We laughed nervously. Evelyn then gave me495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwNz6KG85M
a reassuring nod, then pushed the door open. Taking a huge breath, we walked495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyadRJN3hVa
into our very own doom.
The house greeted us with the usual495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3X3Q91AXdK
dust. We went around the house. Our circle495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGKTKy3CTH
of white light from our torch, followed us on our journey. I clutched my pepper495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Hb6ECqScm
spray tight in my other hand with my heart beating like crazy. Everything seemed495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotrO8gumox
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. I495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUtEkcCmlm
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 to495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZjG5o3vyM
go into the study. I tried shaking of the strange feeling and walking away, but495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMwJ3kY2t1
I felt myself being dragged to the door.495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVe2nftDBuC
NO… Not dragged. I was WALKING! Even495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9F5dNbHaj
though I didn’t want to go, I saw myself walking towards the study.
Fear gripped my whole being. I495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXJRBVfRDN
heard Evelyn`s voice ask if I was ok.
“OF COURSE NOT!” I screamed. “I can495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlseddLu8j
hear my own voice in my head telling me to do what I don’t want to.”
Adrenaline flowed through my veins495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNJGBNTTMF
as I listened to myself talking. To my horror, that wasn’t what I screamed. I heard495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CEfOKiSxD
myself scream: “I AM FINE! LET’S JUST GET THIS OVER WITH!”
WHAT? That so not what I wanted to495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1pMHr2HIE
say. I stared at Evelyn as she asked me what was wrong with me. She explained495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzLSpUhrn9
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. Maybe495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZe4PvzIrAc
that’s it. Maybe because I didn’t get enough sleep last night, I am hearing495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSguWqTBV8V
things.
“Sorry Eve, I didn’t mean anything I495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjc03OFnOBH
said.” I apologized. As we continued our search.
We walked away from the study door495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRJmfbrmex
again. Then I heard it loud and clear this time.
“GET495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSV4pRhJ3A
IN THERE!”.
I was so startled that I sprayed my spray into Evelyn’s eyes out of495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEoQPKdk1Y
shock. I dropped the pepper spray, quite dazed. I started apologizing but495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN159rnOLno
stopped in shock. I stared at Evelyn in surprise.
Something is wrong. Very wrong.
Evelyn wasn’t in pain. In fact, she didn’t495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG13wMpCnW5
look as though she was in pain at all. Instead, she smiled at me, walked495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8p1QTDhtzS
towards the study door, and opened it.
“Evelyn, are you ok?” I asked as the495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qc9MdLfb8
fear and shock I felt made my leg quiver.
“Yes, I am! Fiona. She wants us to495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0udN4xx4E
search the study!” she replied in a hypnotic way and with a horrific smile.
“Who?” I stammered as I looked495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZUfe8uq8b
around in fear. Everything about this house is just off.
"The495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdegrcTR4TI
girl." Eve replied impatiently. Still with that weird smile on her face. Then she495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXlYSFfYtD
added, “The girl that always tells us what to do.”
Then she disappeared into the room.
