Our lives changed with just425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87qaauwlk2
the sound of a gunshot.
One night, one gunshot, one dead body425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOCks178dx
discovered the next morning.
That was how my best friends and I got tangled425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡng9RaG36M2
up in a murder mystery that changed not just our summer plans, but our entire425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5C8uM0Zzo
lives.
Here I am right now, sitting in my bedroom and425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Fk59xTD0r
looking impatiently at the time waiting the doorbell to ring. Evelyn and I had425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3G2CEJ8Izq
to search the Smith’s mansion for a clue. This is our third search since the425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPKI2CXnjL
murder. The second search left a sour taste in our mouth. Iris, one of our best425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYs4imUxpf
friends, was almost killed. She is currently in the hospital in a coma.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3pOGFumSX
“indefinite” the doctor had said. These words echoed in my head and drove me to425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxqljR6F93
get to the bottom of this mystery.
7:45am
The doorbell rang.
Finally.
I picked my stuff, ran out of my room, down the425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7S9I9zGqIT
stairs and to the door. I flung it open.
“After a million years! We425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhjdjozlTd
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 and425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLaehze7in
dramatic but, in my defense, my heart was beating like crazy, and I just wanted425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo78LCCsBmA
to get things over with. I was already overthinking things as it was already.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFiuJzTNOE
All I could think of was the fact that Iris was almost murdered, and her killer425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJAyQZaVsx
is running free. Probably camping out at the Smith`s mansion… or in my house. I425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJs2MLLWMtD
don’t know, and I don’t even want to think about anything else but to find the425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8lNMEuWAc
answer. And the answer, is behind those huge thick doors of the smith`s house.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMlsl3YDiH
And today, I hope to uncover it.
Those doors…. quite like that of the425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEa1qWAdnaS
entrance to hell. All these years, I had never seen the house as such a scarred425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI22Y8TikSP
monument. But at the beginning of summer break, things changed. LOADS of425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnNx5QxYlt
things. And I must deal with these changes.
Evelyn stepped in front of me and dropped425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAUDqiHQlb
the duffel bag on the dusty porch.
“Ready when you are!” she announced425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUo7VE0BQD6
as she dropped to her knees and unzipped the bag.
“Ready!” I replied. For some odd425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWndzRCNkKG
reasons, that word was so difficult for me to say. It seemed like the weirdest425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYBb9tlzMZ
thing to admit. Who in their right senses would be born ready to go exploring425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OasGS1dFs
an abandoned house where a murder was committed, where her best friend was425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzB3mDjk1O
almost killed, and most importantly, where a potential killer is hiding.
“Done!’ Evelyn announced as she425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54qKZ61TYh
straightened up and pushed the door opened just a crack.
“Wait!” I demanded, preventing her425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaThiwqw1t
from going in. “We should know that as we are walking into this place, we might425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuY7UjrFPY
be the next target.”
“Yeah, I know. And we should be very425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIAFlRyeC6
careful.”
“Very! You have your backup425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKOZQQvVws
flashlights, right?”
“Never go anywhere without them!”
We laughed nervously. Evelyn then gave me425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroARKNJUFT
a reassuring nod, then pushed the door open. Taking a huge breath, we walked425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4wQFXDP6c
into our very own doom.
The house greeted us with the usual425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZHIpmQb59
dust. We went around the house. Our circle425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXEEHGKKxv
of white light from our torch, followed us on our journey. I clutched my pepper425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrabkovVI0E
spray tight in my other hand with my heart beating like crazy. Everything seemed425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8DTI8Awin
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. I425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeu472gPlUO
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 to425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGac5H7m3Cg
go into the study. I tried shaking of the strange feeling and walking away, but425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSMeUU3D6s
I felt myself being dragged to the door.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhI9hfCv4fR
NO… Not dragged. I was WALKING! Even425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0ujAQJnfd
though I didn’t want to go, I saw myself walking towards the study.
Fear gripped my whole being. I425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYEJuJSQVA
heard Evelyn`s voice ask if I was ok.
“OF COURSE NOT!” I screamed. “I can425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZbwDh2Zd2
hear my own voice in my head telling me to do what I don’t want to.”
Adrenaline flowed through my veins425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHr3nKZ8RT1
as I listened to myself talking. To my horror, that wasn’t what I screamed. I heard425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoJik2wpeL
myself scream: “I AM FINE! LET’S JUST GET THIS OVER WITH!”
WHAT? That so not what I wanted to425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqx3wQgS1X
say. I stared at Evelyn as she asked me what was wrong with me. She explained425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsZh2FjnTZ
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. Maybe425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5Kr3ORvJF
that’s it. Maybe because I didn’t get enough sleep last night, I am hearing425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vA1igXTOY
things.
“Sorry Eve, I didn’t mean anything I425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQkgekaxfy
said.” I apologized. As we continued our search.
We walked away from the study door425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrcZrO9Xud
again. Then I heard it loud and clear this time.
“GET425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvY9Asw5k1C
IN THERE!”.
I was so startled that I sprayed my spray into Evelyn’s eyes out of425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtz8XdSRJ0J
shock. I dropped the pepper spray, quite dazed. I started apologizing but425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6fKpWNBST
stopped in shock. I stared at Evelyn in surprise.
Something is wrong. Very wrong.
Evelyn wasn’t in pain. In fact, she didn’t425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gw8bBP3n0
look as though she was in pain at all. Instead, she smiled at me, walked425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8SUsBtb8H
towards the study door, and opened it.
“Evelyn, are you ok?” I asked as the425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkT2n6OFBlN
fear and shock I felt made my leg quiver.
“Yes, I am! Fiona. She wants us to425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLFRlwEpSg
search the study!” she replied in a hypnotic way and with a horrific smile.
“Who?” I stammered as I looked425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1aEyu0viA
around in fear. Everything about this house is just off.
"The425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zfGkWPiRW
girl." Eve replied impatiently. Still with that weird smile on her face. Then she425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLG5oEoHXU
added, “The girl that always tells us what to do.”
Then she disappeared into the room.
