Our lives changed with just361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDABc7CGbKE
the sound of a gunshot.
One night, one gunshot, one dead body361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKo6E4aYlZ
discovered the next morning.
That was how my best friends and I got tangled361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJd8D5hqwm
up in a murder mystery that changed not just our summer plans, but our entire361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZm2VqPpl9
lives.
Here I am right now, sitting in my bedroom and361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKICB9pDJBt
looking impatiently at the time waiting the doorbell to ring. Evelyn and I had361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ300KZa0Vuu
to search the Smith’s mansion for a clue. This is our third search since the361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7v1KCkRTP
murder. The second search left a sour taste in our mouth. Iris, one of our best361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0IZtCKPJY
friends, was almost killed. She is currently in the hospital in a coma.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yKjmFUzP1
“indefinite” the doctor had said. These words echoed in my head and drove me to361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5qAQkrpNT
get to the bottom of this mystery.
7:45am
The doorbell rang.
Finally.
I picked my stuff, ran out of my room, down the361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4zIZjRina
stairs and to the door. I flung it open.
“After a million years! We361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWDwiTGxxp
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 and361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0FJ5FcLJg
dramatic but, in my defense, my heart was beating like crazy, and I just wanted361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Zmob1phU6
to get things over with. I was already overthinking things as it was already.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4bat7P8Ys
All I could think of was the fact that Iris was almost murdered, and her killer361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxtin1DdIG
is running free. Probably camping out at the Smith`s mansion… or in my house. I361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhq8mYBko35
don’t know, and I don’t even want to think about anything else but to find the361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMczF0isqHt
answer. And the answer, is behind those huge thick doors of the smith`s house.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJ2GTWyfHR
And today, I hope to uncover it.
Those doors…. quite like that of the361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tnI4tOnnr
entrance to hell. All these years, I had never seen the house as such a scarred361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVE2cBfGsxe
monument. But at the beginning of summer break, things changed. LOADS of361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oR8lS0jsk
things. And I must deal with these changes.
Evelyn stepped in front of me and dropped361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMwQ72XQ2I
the duffel bag on the dusty porch.
“Ready when you are!” she announced361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGiaEPaAGx
as she dropped to her knees and unzipped the bag.
“Ready!” I replied. For some odd361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6Yhelf9Wf
reasons, that word was so difficult for me to say. It seemed like the weirdest361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3N8Ko7hjY
thing to admit. Who in their right senses would be born ready to go exploring361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rW07G9756
an abandoned house where a murder was committed, where her best friend was361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQIPUHNiVX
almost killed, and most importantly, where a potential killer is hiding.
“Done!’ Evelyn announced as she361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xP3m69j5K
straightened up and pushed the door opened just a crack.
“Wait!” I demanded, preventing her361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BSdMjZNKn
from going in. “We should know that as we are walking into this place, we might361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fo2WJnr7B
be the next target.”
“Yeah, I know. And we should be very361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDil8I99uph
careful.”
“Very! You have your backup361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjOXvnC9z7
flashlights, right?”
“Never go anywhere without them!”
We laughed nervously. Evelyn then gave me361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUD3rjipmes
a reassuring nod, then pushed the door open. Taking a huge breath, we walked361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Bx8JRvRGY
into our very own doom.
The house greeted us with the usual361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxgkuVDbUp
dust. We went around the house. Our circle361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPqrrwQI9D
of white light from our torch, followed us on our journey. I clutched my pepper361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3ZkUUApl1
spray tight in my other hand with my heart beating like crazy. Everything seemed361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBJesVf6QV
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. I361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgL8JxqnQv
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 to361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsSSnBiNJz
go into the study. I tried shaking of the strange feeling and walking away, but361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNeaVVgrMx
I felt myself being dragged to the door.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquiw7pWH8e
NO… Not dragged. I was WALKING! Even361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tE7YVqyAL
though I didn’t want to go, I saw myself walking towards the study.
Fear gripped my whole being. I361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFHbJeVBL3
heard Evelyn`s voice ask if I was ok.
“OF COURSE NOT!” I screamed. “I can361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqmbLTQD8E
hear my own voice in my head telling me to do what I don’t want to.”
Adrenaline flowed through my veins361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYr3C1Nlkml
as I listened to myself talking. To my horror, that wasn’t what I screamed. I heard361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpIsRL4VNl
myself scream: “I AM FINE! LET’S JUST GET THIS OVER WITH!”
WHAT? That so not what I wanted to361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfPXWaLHDY
say. I stared at Evelyn as she asked me what was wrong with me. She explained361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvy1fb1SII
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. Maybe361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocClVrYgnd
that’s it. Maybe because I didn’t get enough sleep last night, I am hearing361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSZLlxDPu2
things.
“Sorry Eve, I didn’t mean anything I361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Fp13VqV01
said.” I apologized. As we continued our search.
We walked away from the study door361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByyE6Na5R2
again. Then I heard it loud and clear this time.
“GET361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeoD9eT6fq
IN THERE!”.
I was so startled that I sprayed my spray into Evelyn’s eyes out of361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtEEHmQ3eF
shock. I dropped the pepper spray, quite dazed. I started apologizing but361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4ATsUSUl4
stopped in shock. I stared at Evelyn in surprise.
Something is wrong. Very wrong.
Evelyn wasn’t in pain. In fact, she didn’t361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHonimpXjwt
look as though she was in pain at all. Instead, she smiled at me, walked361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiO4SV3RKx
towards the study door, and opened it.
“Evelyn, are you ok?” I asked as the361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nK95ZlXLY
fear and shock I felt made my leg quiver.
“Yes, I am! Fiona. She wants us to361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuq9eV0iObD
search the study!” she replied in a hypnotic way and with a horrific smile.
“Who?” I stammered as I looked361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpBEKvU43H
around in fear. Everything about this house is just off.
"The361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjXASWm01E
girl." Eve replied impatiently. Still with that weird smile on her face. Then she361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3bONIhInn
added, “The girl that always tells us what to do.”
Then she disappeared into the room.
