Our lives changed with just406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuLKot7xRx
the sound of a gunshot.
One night, one gunshot, one dead body406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLp2uDyPsj
discovered the next morning.
That was how my best friends and I got tangled406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBjuRLQttr
up in a murder mystery that changed not just our summer plans, but our entire406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRYkSAgEVd
lives.
Here I am right now, sitting in my bedroom and406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVqE4sPrFd
looking impatiently at the time waiting the doorbell to ring. Evelyn and I had406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7Jo9ZekvI
to search the Smith’s mansion for a clue. This is our third search since the406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvl3eTASB7
murder. The second search left a sour taste in our mouth. Iris, one of our best406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ssuCRnHl4
friends, was almost killed. She is currently in the hospital in a coma.406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQpz0LZ1zq
“indefinite” the doctor had said. These words echoed in my head and drove me to406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KGvE0cxId
get to the bottom of this mystery.
7:45am
The doorbell rang.
Finally.
I picked my stuff, ran out of my room, down the406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bHp1hqRgh
stairs and to the door. I flung it open.
“After a million years! We406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4kMNUIBfO
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 and406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BLB0sbtnQ
dramatic but, in my defense, my heart was beating like crazy, and I just wanted406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIp4TmBQ0o
to get things over with. I was already overthinking things as it was already.406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECR4UZSEUT
All I could think of was the fact that Iris was almost murdered, and her killer406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvyAQYBDue
is running free. Probably camping out at the Smith`s mansion… or in my house. I406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlP6j89KC8
don’t know, and I don’t even want to think about anything else but to find the406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LgHdPAJBE
answer. And the answer, is behind those huge thick doors of the smith`s house.406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5PoTYyNLq
And today, I hope to uncover it.
Those doors…. quite like that of the406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GCYIJlXld
entrance to hell. All these years, I had never seen the house as such a scarred406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzfYvQFnnt
monument. But at the beginning of summer break, things changed. LOADS of406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FxBZC22K6
things. And I must deal with these changes.
Evelyn stepped in front of me and dropped406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMnQxiJvJU
the duffel bag on the dusty porch.
“Ready when you are!” she announced406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1wOzQPBQ4
as she dropped to her knees and unzipped the bag.
“Ready!” I replied. For some odd406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wLP8UIOP0
reasons, that word was so difficult for me to say. It seemed like the weirdest406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSs4zBzsZLl
thing to admit. Who in their right senses would be born ready to go exploring406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhqk8ZVB8p
an abandoned house where a murder was committed, where her best friend was406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarxW4eN4yj
almost killed, and most importantly, where a potential killer is hiding.
“Done!’ Evelyn announced as she406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxHtlrDe5n
straightened up and pushed the door opened just a crack.
“Wait!” I demanded, preventing her406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuAkv0N6Qx
from going in. “We should know that as we are walking into this place, we might406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3WZupO6Nk
be the next target.”
“Yeah, I know. And we should be very406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObBuxpIXsm
careful.”
“Very! You have your backup406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wpzZR9rxH
flashlights, right?”
“Never go anywhere without them!”
We laughed nervously. Evelyn then gave me406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEQmM8fXeZ
a reassuring nod, then pushed the door open. Taking a huge breath, we walked406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOThJN2Sy4M
into our very own doom.
The house greeted us with the usual406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIG82HMGQ79
dust. We went around the house. Our circle406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31I6SfYbwy
of white light from our torch, followed us on our journey. I clutched my pepper406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrs8EEkKkQR
spray tight in my other hand with my heart beating like crazy. Everything seemed406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDtq2vgbls
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. I406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLih6XdGMRs
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 to406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRqEfBQ64E
go into the study. I tried shaking of the strange feeling and walking away, but406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bRsdfxtTE
I felt myself being dragged to the door.406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Y6Z4Y5hWs
NO… Not dragged. I was WALKING! Even406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVn57vrJRc
though I didn’t want to go, I saw myself walking towards the study.
Fear gripped my whole being. I406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6t1ifhgGa
heard Evelyn`s voice ask if I was ok.
“OF COURSE NOT!” I screamed. “I can406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoTtPQ7xTG
hear my own voice in my head telling me to do what I don’t want to.”
Adrenaline flowed through my veins406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7FVvxh6qe
as I listened to myself talking. To my horror, that wasn’t what I screamed. I heard406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAB4qF9tII
myself scream: “I AM FINE! LET’S JUST GET THIS OVER WITH!”
WHAT? That so not what I wanted to406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrnaA8xViD
say. I stared at Evelyn as she asked me what was wrong with me. She explained406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iIOTiXerG
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. Maybe406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZ7b7hzW0g
that’s it. Maybe because I didn’t get enough sleep last night, I am hearing406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyHXMynMgU
things.
“Sorry Eve, I didn’t mean anything I406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxh4FB51Uq
said.” I apologized. As we continued our search.
We walked away from the study door406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpO90zUAeX8
again. Then I heard it loud and clear this time.
“GET406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhBB5YHbaz
IN THERE!”.
I was so startled that I sprayed my spray into Evelyn’s eyes out of406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcIbVumrb7
shock. I dropped the pepper spray, quite dazed. I started apologizing but406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYfovpbSmG
stopped in shock. I stared at Evelyn in surprise.
Something is wrong. Very wrong.
Evelyn wasn’t in pain. In fact, she didn’t406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrVGPkbG9H
look as though she was in pain at all. Instead, she smiled at me, walked406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoupReNPGs
towards the study door, and opened it.
“Evelyn, are you ok?” I asked as the406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtOwSS4FXF
fear and shock I felt made my leg quiver.
“Yes, I am! Fiona. She wants us to406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUqUupWl0B
search the study!” she replied in a hypnotic way and with a horrific smile.
“Who?” I stammered as I looked406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4A9HpeqyS
around in fear. Everything about this house is just off.
"The406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2Qz5hBRRQ
girl." Eve replied impatiently. Still with that weird smile on her face. Then she406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aMWkznoGF
added, “The girl that always tells us what to do.”
Then she disappeared into the room.
