Our lives changed with just460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybzCxznoVH
the sound of a gunshot.
One night, one gunshot, one dead body460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaIHocyyI1
discovered the next morning.
That was how my best friends and I got tangled460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0D42ImRl4v
up in a murder mystery that changed not just our summer plans, but our entire460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ETlXpbdPe
lives.
Here I am right now, sitting in my bedroom and460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoOOqAl3NX
looking impatiently at the time waiting the doorbell to ring. Evelyn and I had460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcOChTbBXB
to search the Smith’s mansion for a clue. This is our third search since the460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTqxA9SA7I
murder. The second search left a sour taste in our mouth. Iris, one of our best460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NZpxKGSUM
friends, was almost killed. She is currently in the hospital in a coma.460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCCvrnNpUO
“indefinite” the doctor had said. These words echoed in my head and drove me to460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdFbZj1VJq
get to the bottom of this mystery.
7:45am
The doorbell rang.
Finally.
I picked my stuff, ran out of my room, down the460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TAgSlguYf
stairs and to the door. I flung it open.
“After a million years! We460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6L3NX0xxte
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 and460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBSkLX0zTi
dramatic but, in my defense, my heart was beating like crazy, and I just wanted460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw84hQbhaNs
to get things over with. I was already overthinking things as it was already.460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bbqJpucmp
All I could think of was the fact that Iris was almost murdered, and her killer460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLuzFDsSv7
is running free. Probably camping out at the Smith`s mansion… or in my house. I460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Xjw2M4Unw
don’t know, and I don’t even want to think about anything else but to find the460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNolnAJCUH
answer. And the answer, is behind those huge thick doors of the smith`s house.460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAK52nf8apF
And today, I hope to uncover it.
Those doors…. quite like that of the460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDI2FqkQspe
entrance to hell. All these years, I had never seen the house as such a scarred460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzxjmUnaop
monument. But at the beginning of summer break, things changed. LOADS of460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dfIlrHTRc
things. And I must deal with these changes.
Evelyn stepped in front of me and dropped460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2XpZIheAN
the duffel bag on the dusty porch.
“Ready when you are!” she announced460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneUFURSFng
as she dropped to her knees and unzipped the bag.
“Ready!” I replied. For some odd460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWaEBEn2ed
reasons, that word was so difficult for me to say. It seemed like the weirdest460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsjoLvYLsW
thing to admit. Who in their right senses would be born ready to go exploring460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSYa7Wtmtd
an abandoned house where a murder was committed, where her best friend was460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98QtHaUh0Q
almost killed, and most importantly, where a potential killer is hiding.
“Done!’ Evelyn announced as she460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvc7IMvdXsu
straightened up and pushed the door opened just a crack.
“Wait!” I demanded, preventing her460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCGwxMLJQb
from going in. “We should know that as we are walking into this place, we might460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKlTTuLiNx
be the next target.”
“Yeah, I know. And we should be very460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZdaSFFDAd
careful.”
“Very! You have your backup460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHvI55HPOb
flashlights, right?”
“Never go anywhere without them!”
We laughed nervously. Evelyn then gave me460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9zGWf5Qp0
a reassuring nod, then pushed the door open. Taking a huge breath, we walked460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HAleXEcXy
into our very own doom.
The house greeted us with the usual460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaOsGAvb8C
dust. We went around the house. Our circle460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkP9KGLIsa
of white light from our torch, followed us on our journey. I clutched my pepper460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSU215G7PiD
spray tight in my other hand with my heart beating like crazy. Everything seemed460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YB80HRoEC
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. I460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsO7pHDzK4
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 to460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDJt2d3D4e
go into the study. I tried shaking of the strange feeling and walking away, but460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjoVFwnflS
I felt myself being dragged to the door.460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFmxGL66bq
NO… Not dragged. I was WALKING! Even460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34uKBGqura
though I didn’t want to go, I saw myself walking towards the study.
Fear gripped my whole being. I460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1wVRb4Q8T
heard Evelyn`s voice ask if I was ok.
“OF COURSE NOT!” I screamed. “I can460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUuX2cVLcD
hear my own voice in my head telling me to do what I don’t want to.”
Adrenaline flowed through my veins460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROEpD4dziS
as I listened to myself talking. To my horror, that wasn’t what I screamed. I heard460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ErQVIuDLc
myself scream: “I AM FINE! LET’S JUST GET THIS OVER WITH!”
WHAT? That so not what I wanted to460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgobYmRVRKO
say. I stared at Evelyn as she asked me what was wrong with me. She explained460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqfhGjcOM0
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. Maybe460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VWRa82TNL
that’s it. Maybe because I didn’t get enough sleep last night, I am hearing460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvEA0N9gDB
things.
“Sorry Eve, I didn’t mean anything I460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPyIt7Fe5P
said.” I apologized. As we continued our search.
We walked away from the study door460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicZoDxHiNC
again. Then I heard it loud and clear this time.
“GET460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxZiAjv3ec
IN THERE!”.
I was so startled that I sprayed my spray into Evelyn’s eyes out of460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68dqfwnqgu
shock. I dropped the pepper spray, quite dazed. I started apologizing but460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqpMvJ4O4R
stopped in shock. I stared at Evelyn in surprise.
Something is wrong. Very wrong.
Evelyn wasn’t in pain. In fact, she didn’t460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EDg991o50
look as though she was in pain at all. Instead, she smiled at me, walked460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMp4ZBWt4b
towards the study door, and opened it.
“Evelyn, are you ok?” I asked as the460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyU3Yf3zXT
fear and shock I felt made my leg quiver.
“Yes, I am! Fiona. She wants us to460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8QimKhXVu
search the study!” she replied in a hypnotic way and with a horrific smile.
“Who?” I stammered as I looked460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWYDyu7g59
around in fear. Everything about this house is just off.
"The460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgZHax9dTH
girl." Eve replied impatiently. Still with that weird smile on her face. Then she460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9YySQPBVQ
added, “The girl that always tells us what to do.”
Then she disappeared into the room.
