Our lives changed with just390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4AzYW1GuZ
the sound of a gunshot.
One night, one gunshot, one dead body390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WOwDywSXG
discovered the next morning.
That was how my best friends and I got tangled390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFXghf43Vv
up in a murder mystery that changed not just our summer plans, but our entire390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLnZGKuL7i
lives.
Here I am right now, sitting in my bedroom and390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCT4S7HDpwF
looking impatiently at the time waiting the doorbell to ring. Evelyn and I had390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ltzGupoXh
to search the Smith’s mansion for a clue. This is our third search since the390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡax94ZW7frL
murder. The second search left a sour taste in our mouth. Iris, one of our best390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqtHwZHEap
friends, was almost killed. She is currently in the hospital in a coma.390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqA6ErtZKs
“indefinite” the doctor had said. These words echoed in my head and drove me to390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGs5ukpCmY9
get to the bottom of this mystery.
7:45am
The doorbell rang.
Finally.
I picked my stuff, ran out of my room, down the390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOCzkR2n4J
stairs and to the door. I flung it open.
“After a million years! We390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafDc7eAH1P
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 and390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvv4EZeGsa
dramatic but, in my defense, my heart was beating like crazy, and I just wanted390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI72LOUD86e
to get things over with. I was already overthinking things as it was already.390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjV0RzxGuP
All I could think of was the fact that Iris was almost murdered, and her killer390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9SvivjWW3
is running free. Probably camping out at the Smith`s mansion… or in my house. I390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfB7pCCYeLs
don’t know, and I don’t even want to think about anything else but to find the390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMosLd9qNQ
answer. And the answer, is behind those huge thick doors of the smith`s house.390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIN9CA7Cihz
And today, I hope to uncover it.
Those doors…. quite like that of the390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDPZVXlzLN
entrance to hell. All these years, I had never seen the house as such a scarred390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtr4krZz7Pp
monument. But at the beginning of summer break, things changed. LOADS of390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqilZHkpMJ
things. And I must deal with these changes.
Evelyn stepped in front of me and dropped390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2blqwcVMhP
the duffel bag on the dusty porch.
“Ready when you are!” she announced390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JWIWP0yOG
as she dropped to her knees and unzipped the bag.
“Ready!” I replied. For some odd390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4dimfsqlp
reasons, that word was so difficult for me to say. It seemed like the weirdest390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnktWSxroe
thing to admit. Who in their right senses would be born ready to go exploring390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFavhWs5QK
an abandoned house where a murder was committed, where her best friend was390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhWwzCGpeR
almost killed, and most importantly, where a potential killer is hiding.
“Done!’ Evelyn announced as she390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TFOVDa4RY
straightened up and pushed the door opened just a crack.
“Wait!” I demanded, preventing her390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlhWkeDH25
from going in. “We should know that as we are walking into this place, we might390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwIXiClj29
be the next target.”
“Yeah, I know. And we should be very390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0teNgilRsy
careful.”
“Very! You have your backup390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2YYdMuhDE
flashlights, right?”
“Never go anywhere without them!”
We laughed nervously. Evelyn then gave me390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfHgwCfw0w
a reassuring nod, then pushed the door open. Taking a huge breath, we walked390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk81DSyvUKq
into our very own doom.
The house greeted us with the usual390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3f4RAijsCr
dust. We went around the house. Our circle390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYIw6CD3vE
of white light from our torch, followed us on our journey. I clutched my pepper390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakTbGps0Yv
spray tight in my other hand with my heart beating like crazy. Everything seemed390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfrEf4vAPY
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. I390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHgWWnVy99
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 to390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7c8LmiWM9T
go into the study. I tried shaking of the strange feeling and walking away, but390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbK3tFpdN9E
I felt myself being dragged to the door.390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPszuj9T4K4
NO… Not dragged. I was WALKING! Even390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtCpg9TrGT
though I didn’t want to go, I saw myself walking towards the study.
Fear gripped my whole being. I390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6yf7yuKRS
heard Evelyn`s voice ask if I was ok.
“OF COURSE NOT!” I screamed. “I can390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRqAOGVBbH
hear my own voice in my head telling me to do what I don’t want to.”
Adrenaline flowed through my veins390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyS6mEvbQ9
as I listened to myself talking. To my horror, that wasn’t what I screamed. I heard390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGrl5c8RYZ
myself scream: “I AM FINE! LET’S JUST GET THIS OVER WITH!”
WHAT? That so not what I wanted to390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzd30N5e23
say. I stared at Evelyn as she asked me what was wrong with me. She explained390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBj2iyTC79p
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. Maybe390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWY60UGRZs
that’s it. Maybe because I didn’t get enough sleep last night, I am hearing390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrTlMeEGR0
things.
“Sorry Eve, I didn’t mean anything I390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvLvZKcNtv
said.” I apologized. As we continued our search.
We walked away from the study door390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6OSmlC0rC
again. Then I heard it loud and clear this time.
“GET390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HR3oaZFGb
IN THERE!”.
I was so startled that I sprayed my spray into Evelyn’s eyes out of390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSRuR8USPl
shock. I dropped the pepper spray, quite dazed. I started apologizing but390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Gby0FVguv
stopped in shock. I stared at Evelyn in surprise.
Something is wrong. Very wrong.
Evelyn wasn’t in pain. In fact, she didn’t390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHg8ScBuBI
look as though she was in pain at all. Instead, she smiled at me, walked390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2l4I1ZFF0
towards the study door, and opened it.
“Evelyn, are you ok?” I asked as the390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAYKvr8z51
fear and shock I felt made my leg quiver.
“Yes, I am! Fiona. She wants us to390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwOccRgzi9
search the study!” she replied in a hypnotic way and with a horrific smile.
“Who?” I stammered as I looked390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKY0w519Vp
around in fear. Everything about this house is just off.
"The390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAw8HRqKEI
girl." Eve replied impatiently. Still with that weird smile on her face. Then she390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmQPTiv6bX
added, “The girl that always tells us what to do.”
Then she disappeared into the room.
