Our lives changed with just453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9meIaKvmn
the sound of a gunshot.
One night, one gunshot, one dead body453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbzp7x3AbR
discovered the next morning.
That was how my best friends and I got tangled453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtyGHhTcuX
up in a murder mystery that changed not just our summer plans, but our entire453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTzotlWNxp
lives.
Here I am right now, sitting in my bedroom and453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT65cpTsmHP
looking impatiently at the time waiting the doorbell to ring. Evelyn and I had453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDYOwACzwZ
to search the Smith’s mansion for a clue. This is our third search since the453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQbFGQxMME
murder. The second search left a sour taste in our mouth. Iris, one of our best453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysM6nmsY2Y
friends, was almost killed. She is currently in the hospital in a coma.453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZT2J0gyTm4
“indefinite” the doctor had said. These words echoed in my head and drove me to453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalUZWrCUss
get to the bottom of this mystery.
7:45am
The doorbell rang.
Finally.
I picked my stuff, ran out of my room, down the453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgbJsT1nOz
stairs and to the door. I flung it open.
“After a million years! We453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6gsDwQPBI
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 and453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2VARAz7Ss
dramatic but, in my defense, my heart was beating like crazy, and I just wanted453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsUkPZ9aLQ
to get things over with. I was already overthinking things as it was already.453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8D01PWjGQL
All I could think of was the fact that Iris was almost murdered, and her killer453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gYJKlDEbe
is running free. Probably camping out at the Smith`s mansion… or in my house. I453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyA7Cm2pUsE
don’t know, and I don’t even want to think about anything else but to find the453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lefdwiENx
answer. And the answer, is behind those huge thick doors of the smith`s house.453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQMZgmjNqC
And today, I hope to uncover it.
Those doors…. quite like that of the453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyFGjNsD0A
entrance to hell. All these years, I had never seen the house as such a scarred453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvl3cv5iAQ
monument. But at the beginning of summer break, things changed. LOADS of453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEJS7MaJHk
things. And I must deal with these changes.
Evelyn stepped in front of me and dropped453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUnHCxG8oc
the duffel bag on the dusty porch.
“Ready when you are!” she announced453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Qq8RQ1jRL
as she dropped to her knees and unzipped the bag.
“Ready!” I replied. For some odd453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HJZsyMSdY
reasons, that word was so difficult for me to say. It seemed like the weirdest453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLj1Ud4eJ7
thing to admit. Who in their right senses would be born ready to go exploring453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Soncfocr4
an abandoned house where a murder was committed, where her best friend was453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAULKBfUCd
almost killed, and most importantly, where a potential killer is hiding.
“Done!’ Evelyn announced as she453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14PahuXoLa
straightened up and pushed the door opened just a crack.
“Wait!” I demanded, preventing her453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRRbnLXRh7
from going in. “We should know that as we are walking into this place, we might453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEhLS9OfPy
be the next target.”
“Yeah, I know. And we should be very453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEPsZOtmoX
careful.”
“Very! You have your backup453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyrsyr2Vav
flashlights, right?”
“Never go anywhere without them!”
We laughed nervously. Evelyn then gave me453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIZrHaHUvB
a reassuring nod, then pushed the door open. Taking a huge breath, we walked453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFO6GHH89d
into our very own doom.
The house greeted us with the usual453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUODQ7nIU8
dust. We went around the house. Our circle453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOTEHo9AEa
of white light from our torch, followed us on our journey. I clutched my pepper453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7sEiBf1xL
spray tight in my other hand with my heart beating like crazy. Everything seemed453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4blNPXc5B
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. I453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQmoNqw9XW
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 to453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRLQTgo7el
go into the study. I tried shaking of the strange feeling and walking away, but453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRr6pj9w3V
I felt myself being dragged to the door.453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYukCx8mWY
NO… Not dragged. I was WALKING! Even453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wjvtaGiO4
though I didn’t want to go, I saw myself walking towards the study.
Fear gripped my whole being. I453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQ4WAYNM5y
heard Evelyn`s voice ask if I was ok.
“OF COURSE NOT!” I screamed. “I can453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVxwx8Qen3
hear my own voice in my head telling me to do what I don’t want to.”
Adrenaline flowed through my veins453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3xa71T0yP
as I listened to myself talking. To my horror, that wasn’t what I screamed. I heard453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3T6kyz2oVf
myself scream: “I AM FINE! LET’S JUST GET THIS OVER WITH!”
WHAT? That so not what I wanted to453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mG3clMFQq
say. I stared at Evelyn as she asked me what was wrong with me. She explained453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvUBPCvGh8
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. Maybe453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZnIURpBGw
that’s it. Maybe because I didn’t get enough sleep last night, I am hearing453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvhjLDtMN6
things.
“Sorry Eve, I didn’t mean anything I453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3wGdex8Aa
said.” I apologized. As we continued our search.
We walked away from the study door453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HXi0kGW94
again. Then I heard it loud and clear this time.
“GET453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrr5CNqYB7w
IN THERE!”.
I was so startled that I sprayed my spray into Evelyn’s eyes out of453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkH7iDZfic
shock. I dropped the pepper spray, quite dazed. I started apologizing but453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkF1ctR0xM
stopped in shock. I stared at Evelyn in surprise.
Something is wrong. Very wrong.
Evelyn wasn’t in pain. In fact, she didn’t453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gyYPdvj8g
look as though she was in pain at all. Instead, she smiled at me, walked453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYL7dr2gK7m
towards the study door, and opened it.
“Evelyn, are you ok?” I asked as the453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfVbZ8koIq
fear and shock I felt made my leg quiver.
“Yes, I am! Fiona. She wants us to453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAyFsZ6unJ
search the study!” she replied in a hypnotic way and with a horrific smile.
“Who?” I stammered as I looked453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQQQV2YeeZ
around in fear. Everything about this house is just off.
"The453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGMrHNKZgW
girl." Eve replied impatiently. Still with that weird smile on her face. Then she453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztuxjLqhgT
added, “The girl that always tells us what to do.”
Then she disappeared into the room.
