Our lives changed with just422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhxvVujdca
the sound of a gunshot.
One night, one gunshot, one dead body422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPM9TF6qPGg
discovered the next morning.
That was how my best friends and I got tangled422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcGLVFHEvr
up in a murder mystery that changed not just our summer plans, but our entire422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡje1Ui1cvun
lives.
Here I am right now, sitting in my bedroom and422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgQ0jlYeDl
looking impatiently at the time waiting the doorbell to ring. Evelyn and I had422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgr7NcrNDk
to search the Smith’s mansion for a clue. This is our third search since the422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FuhzkgdCR
murder. The second search left a sour taste in our mouth. Iris, one of our best422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ299LKOfLFQ
friends, was almost killed. She is currently in the hospital in a coma.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrTfp8JHvl
“indefinite” the doctor had said. These words echoed in my head and drove me to422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1DJOYCR9G
get to the bottom of this mystery.
7:45am
The doorbell rang.
Finally.
I picked my stuff, ran out of my room, down the422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcL9py0j2Z
stairs and to the door. I flung it open.
“After a million years! We422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRL1nEgF56u
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 and422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6n0YmvYbW
dramatic but, in my defense, my heart was beating like crazy, and I just wanted422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNt8Ed2dwpQ
to get things over with. I was already overthinking things as it was already.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgU8TCqbZU5
All I could think of was the fact that Iris was almost murdered, and her killer422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctaPpW8gX8
is running free. Probably camping out at the Smith`s mansion… or in my house. I422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4FFTVIFjj
don’t know, and I don’t even want to think about anything else but to find the422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceVyUm0INC
answer. And the answer, is behind those huge thick doors of the smith`s house.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDEgIxnVZm
And today, I hope to uncover it.
Those doors…. quite like that of the422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsgXQkUtHE
entrance to hell. All these years, I had never seen the house as such a scarred422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnVbzgTNRp
monument. But at the beginning of summer break, things changed. LOADS of422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzf6SRIHbC
things. And I must deal with these changes.
Evelyn stepped in front of me and dropped422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXackcBN1V
the duffel bag on the dusty porch.
“Ready when you are!” she announced422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWj9FOyMWAJ
as she dropped to her knees and unzipped the bag.
“Ready!” I replied. For some odd422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CoXPSefZ2
reasons, that word was so difficult for me to say. It seemed like the weirdest422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWexInlav4c
thing to admit. Who in their right senses would be born ready to go exploring422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIImMNuUSw
an abandoned house where a murder was committed, where her best friend was422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCrwdMPJNh
almost killed, and most importantly, where a potential killer is hiding.
“Done!’ Evelyn announced as she422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAp18PkyDc
straightened up and pushed the door opened just a crack.
“Wait!” I demanded, preventing her422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnztMB3wmGV
from going in. “We should know that as we are walking into this place, we might422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlT2FRd5y7z
be the next target.”
“Yeah, I know. And we should be very422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuIjAnHfF0
careful.”
“Very! You have your backup422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7l0Uufie43
flashlights, right?”
“Never go anywhere without them!”
We laughed nervously. Evelyn then gave me422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4rxQsHuZE
a reassuring nod, then pushed the door open. Taking a huge breath, we walked422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNTkTrfih8
into our very own doom.
The house greeted us with the usual422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmh42rIh8BL
dust. We went around the house. Our circle422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDhWUw1wWu
of white light from our torch, followed us on our journey. I clutched my pepper422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01KISHW5G9
spray tight in my other hand with my heart beating like crazy. Everything seemed422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAyCsziok2
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. I422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDp9fY3gwt
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 to422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsR7h9jU85D
go into the study. I tried shaking of the strange feeling and walking away, but422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwABebDTH8
I felt myself being dragged to the door.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0olAVJTqL
NO… Not dragged. I was WALKING! Even422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QUYX5LSEn
though I didn’t want to go, I saw myself walking towards the study.
Fear gripped my whole being. I422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhh7zg3lScF
heard Evelyn`s voice ask if I was ok.
“OF COURSE NOT!” I screamed. “I can422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHA7QAtCqSn
hear my own voice in my head telling me to do what I don’t want to.”
Adrenaline flowed through my veins422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZ2U9uSQe1
as I listened to myself talking. To my horror, that wasn’t what I screamed. I heard422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHjUw89LD8
myself scream: “I AM FINE! LET’S JUST GET THIS OVER WITH!”
WHAT? That so not what I wanted to422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiw1qQ0KSj
say. I stared at Evelyn as she asked me what was wrong with me. She explained422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OXvk3aTrh
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. Maybe422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOmbptgrhr
that’s it. Maybe because I didn’t get enough sleep last night, I am hearing422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1laZhpEfyZ
things.
“Sorry Eve, I didn’t mean anything I422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1L4hQQ15ro
said.” I apologized. As we continued our search.
We walked away from the study door422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtF3MR2LUj
again. Then I heard it loud and clear this time.
“GET422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqa3oL82it
IN THERE!”.
I was so startled that I sprayed my spray into Evelyn’s eyes out of422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROaiUIeqIF
shock. I dropped the pepper spray, quite dazed. I started apologizing but422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DnxrXnfTu
stopped in shock. I stared at Evelyn in surprise.
Something is wrong. Very wrong.
Evelyn wasn’t in pain. In fact, she didn’t422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoliDPvNvt
look as though she was in pain at all. Instead, she smiled at me, walked422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oB4YHTrI9
towards the study door, and opened it.
“Evelyn, are you ok?” I asked as the422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZLYTg9o4I
fear and shock I felt made my leg quiver.
“Yes, I am! Fiona. She wants us to422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnWIsC2SgZ
search the study!” she replied in a hypnotic way and with a horrific smile.
“Who?” I stammered as I looked422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaAht8AsQX
around in fear. Everything about this house is just off.
"The422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpOOIHnHj9
girl." Eve replied impatiently. Still with that weird smile on her face. Then she422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iHGm3PhRn
added, “The girl that always tells us what to do.”
Then she disappeared into the room.
