Our lives changed with just367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjXh00Rhi4
the sound of a gunshot.
One night, one gunshot, one dead body367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAgZTZIVxM
discovered the next morning.
That was how my best friends and I got tangled367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NDIfGi4UP
up in a murder mystery that changed not just our summer plans, but our entire367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUg923pg85
lives.
Here I am right now, sitting in my bedroom and367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmIu9i82l8
looking impatiently at the time waiting the doorbell to ring. Evelyn and I had367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX26kg20yAF
to search the Smith’s mansion for a clue. This is our third search since the367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOdIsUW7yp
murder. The second search left a sour taste in our mouth. Iris, one of our best367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5iNV2o9k2
friends, was almost killed. She is currently in the hospital in a coma.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5RejTToNY
“indefinite” the doctor had said. These words echoed in my head and drove me to367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXROZSGY1W
get to the bottom of this mystery.
7:45am
The doorbell rang.
Finally.
I picked my stuff, ran out of my room, down the367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7XalSFUZ0
stairs and to the door. I flung it open.
“After a million years! We367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6baJAaVV4e
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 and367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJyloq6LtE
dramatic but, in my defense, my heart was beating like crazy, and I just wanted367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4M6uulASzP
to get things over with. I was already overthinking things as it was already.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyPHaU71B4
All I could think of was the fact that Iris was almost murdered, and her killer367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBsO8WX6Hf
is running free. Probably camping out at the Smith`s mansion… or in my house. I367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeRRlbPqss
don’t know, and I don’t even want to think about anything else but to find the367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLpS1q0Hp4
answer. And the answer, is behind those huge thick doors of the smith`s house.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiu9V84Z7y9
And today, I hope to uncover it.
Those doors…. quite like that of the367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTkct9f4G7
entrance to hell. All these years, I had never seen the house as such a scarred367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPop65AG0t
monument. But at the beginning of summer break, things changed. LOADS of367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YuV7AdGkO
things. And I must deal with these changes.
Evelyn stepped in front of me and dropped367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYD4UqXIWHs
the duffel bag on the dusty porch.
“Ready when you are!” she announced367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3R82IdYk1b
as she dropped to her knees and unzipped the bag.
“Ready!” I replied. For some odd367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVBTyV5irE
reasons, that word was so difficult for me to say. It seemed like the weirdest367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfC4jCkQP4z
thing to admit. Who in their right senses would be born ready to go exploring367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGS515OQV9K
an abandoned house where a murder was committed, where her best friend was367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhHIi8MVjg
almost killed, and most importantly, where a potential killer is hiding.
“Done!’ Evelyn announced as she367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzxUxV3Ozs
straightened up and pushed the door opened just a crack.
“Wait!” I demanded, preventing her367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEwoMCZkAk
from going in. “We should know that as we are walking into this place, we might367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLzR6FIcT2
be the next target.”
“Yeah, I know. And we should be very367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqrI2E26V6
careful.”
“Very! You have your backup367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HpVWI2OXu
flashlights, right?”
“Never go anywhere without them!”
We laughed nervously. Evelyn then gave me367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRKycBpVRA
a reassuring nod, then pushed the door open. Taking a huge breath, we walked367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfhdOf8aTF
into our very own doom.
The house greeted us with the usual367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlJHPFPdce
dust. We went around the house. Our circle367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJadyd07k1i
of white light from our torch, followed us on our journey. I clutched my pepper367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TcJrDs6UZ
spray tight in my other hand with my heart beating like crazy. Everything seemed367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehcLVRdOcL
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. I367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaDvfpy6j8
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 to367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiickwxl8x8
go into the study. I tried shaking of the strange feeling and walking away, but367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMh1GHmxDT
I felt myself being dragged to the door.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdppC8dv4QT
NO… Not dragged. I was WALKING! Even367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxVxjcIScL
though I didn’t want to go, I saw myself walking towards the study.
Fear gripped my whole being. I367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNU4rgh9g5t
heard Evelyn`s voice ask if I was ok.
“OF COURSE NOT!” I screamed. “I can367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyS4fysfIbK
hear my own voice in my head telling me to do what I don’t want to.”
Adrenaline flowed through my veins367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqKP4ICsRN
as I listened to myself talking. To my horror, that wasn’t what I screamed. I heard367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbU2pDcJGQk
myself scream: “I AM FINE! LET’S JUST GET THIS OVER WITH!”
WHAT? That so not what I wanted to367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFCPYafOUC
say. I stared at Evelyn as she asked me what was wrong with me. She explained367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1j8CpXqWDu
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. Maybe367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVs7G2TFgk
that’s it. Maybe because I didn’t get enough sleep last night, I am hearing367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK78G3ilwpv
things.
“Sorry Eve, I didn’t mean anything I367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToa9GXWcAa
said.” I apologized. As we continued our search.
We walked away from the study door367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kdzTRB1tl
again. Then I heard it loud and clear this time.
“GET367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0g1DRMLiI
IN THERE!”.
I was so startled that I sprayed my spray into Evelyn’s eyes out of367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQugSDUDj10
shock. I dropped the pepper spray, quite dazed. I started apologizing but367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLK8lXRLuae
stopped in shock. I stared at Evelyn in surprise.
Something is wrong. Very wrong.
Evelyn wasn’t in pain. In fact, she didn’t367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7NB5s8edF
look as though she was in pain at all. Instead, she smiled at me, walked367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzyiFALpUl
towards the study door, and opened it.
“Evelyn, are you ok?” I asked as the367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQcDO3Yvfl
fear and shock I felt made my leg quiver.
“Yes, I am! Fiona. She wants us to367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6X5oscF0H
search the study!” she replied in a hypnotic way and with a horrific smile.
“Who?” I stammered as I looked367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLs9JtDz5W
around in fear. Everything about this house is just off.
"The367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyCIFz6cq0
girl." Eve replied impatiently. Still with that weird smile on her face. Then she367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwUE7vZfBt
added, “The girl that always tells us what to do.”
Then she disappeared into the room.
