Our lives changed with just504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiL8pEo2lgb
the sound of a gunshot.
One night, one gunshot, one dead body504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4tD6SGeFT
discovered the next morning.
That was how my best friends and I got tangled504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOC5LkcPBd
up in a murder mystery that changed not just our summer plans, but our entire504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07U7x36O2v
lives.
Here I am right now, sitting in my bedroom and504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOp7DcQDwv
looking impatiently at the time waiting the doorbell to ring. Evelyn and I had504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwi7GKOjmx
to search the Smith’s mansion for a clue. This is our third search since the504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ883AVenYOI
murder. The second search left a sour taste in our mouth. Iris, one of our best504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bao4U7qtB
friends, was almost killed. She is currently in the hospital in a coma.504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WbCX9Wm8k
“indefinite” the doctor had said. These words echoed in my head and drove me to504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iYVuhddLd
get to the bottom of this mystery.
7:45am
The doorbell rang.
Finally.
I picked my stuff, ran out of my room, down the504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhblAJjLmk
stairs and to the door. I flung it open.
“After a million years! We504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFKim6I2jE
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 and504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYYLz2TEg5
dramatic but, in my defense, my heart was beating like crazy, and I just wanted504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5e6QwGhqU
to get things over with. I was already overthinking things as it was already.504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbmfthGbnz
All I could think of was the fact that Iris was almost murdered, and her killer504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIw81yA2g0
is running free. Probably camping out at the Smith`s mansion… or in my house. I504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfI7qNBF16t
don’t know, and I don’t even want to think about anything else but to find the504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrRwZ26mJk
answer. And the answer, is behind those huge thick doors of the smith`s house.504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWy6EqYaP9C
And today, I hope to uncover it.
Those doors…. quite like that of the504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrX5ps1yvk
entrance to hell. All these years, I had never seen the house as such a scarred504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaOF6MVlfH
monument. But at the beginning of summer break, things changed. LOADS of504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYzENjLhwc
things. And I must deal with these changes.
Evelyn stepped in front of me and dropped504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREwR19qKit
the duffel bag on the dusty porch.
“Ready when you are!” she announced504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbHH0gHUot
as she dropped to her knees and unzipped the bag.
“Ready!” I replied. For some odd504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQi8qvMNAA
reasons, that word was so difficult for me to say. It seemed like the weirdest504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5gQB4ZjoE
thing to admit. Who in their right senses would be born ready to go exploring504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SGTDnJcGk
an abandoned house where a murder was committed, where her best friend was504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDkk54iicB
almost killed, and most importantly, where a potential killer is hiding.
“Done!’ Evelyn announced as she504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfHU3NuZ0y
straightened up and pushed the door opened just a crack.
“Wait!” I demanded, preventing her504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBiV7eKghg
from going in. “We should know that as we are walking into this place, we might504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsz8ne1tf3
be the next target.”
“Yeah, I know. And we should be very504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTmuYFEnhO
careful.”
“Very! You have your backup504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbgXffYOyk
flashlights, right?”
“Never go anywhere without them!”
We laughed nervously. Evelyn then gave me504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8lV0UDHc8
a reassuring nod, then pushed the door open. Taking a huge breath, we walked504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdAo1rQ8sE
into our very own doom.
The house greeted us with the usual504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxip1r81EC
dust. We went around the house. Our circle504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7ltAuBWqp
of white light from our torch, followed us on our journey. I clutched my pepper504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb39Yu3tv9q
spray tight in my other hand with my heart beating like crazy. Everything seemed504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMn0HvZco0
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. I504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdN7JTH1YQ
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 to504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZmmBnBsEb
go into the study. I tried shaking of the strange feeling and walking away, but504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOxWZw27B3
I felt myself being dragged to the door.504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBwmhhFD7v
NO… Not dragged. I was WALKING! Even504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8O2soDzyM
though I didn’t want to go, I saw myself walking towards the study.
Fear gripped my whole being. I504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgFdlNExRr
heard Evelyn`s voice ask if I was ok.
“OF COURSE NOT!” I screamed. “I can504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiZa6Gv1QG
hear my own voice in my head telling me to do what I don’t want to.”
Adrenaline flowed through my veins504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNUL14mHI4
as I listened to myself talking. To my horror, that wasn’t what I screamed. I heard504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHe2oQrax7
myself scream: “I AM FINE! LET’S JUST GET THIS OVER WITH!”
WHAT? That so not what I wanted to504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpWpiZa6ft
say. I stared at Evelyn as she asked me what was wrong with me. She explained504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiioeHScJI
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. Maybe504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdO8diFaAUW
that’s it. Maybe because I didn’t get enough sleep last night, I am hearing504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCZGiC9WvH
things.
“Sorry Eve, I didn’t mean anything I504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVQs2Uus1r
said.” I apologized. As we continued our search.
We walked away from the study door504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiZZwzBinl
again. Then I heard it loud and clear this time.
“GET504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5m7wp3wmHN
IN THERE!”.
I was so startled that I sprayed my spray into Evelyn’s eyes out of504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQ9JT5As56
shock. I dropped the pepper spray, quite dazed. I started apologizing but504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZS0HDTSyW
stopped in shock. I stared at Evelyn in surprise.
Something is wrong. Very wrong.
Evelyn wasn’t in pain. In fact, she didn’t504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTneXJPZjQ
look as though she was in pain at all. Instead, she smiled at me, walked504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFPGQIggDO
towards the study door, and opened it.
“Evelyn, are you ok?” I asked as the504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpcguUT1Vd
fear and shock I felt made my leg quiver.
“Yes, I am! Fiona. She wants us to504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLeapQtFgf
search the study!” she replied in a hypnotic way and with a horrific smile.
“Who?” I stammered as I looked504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5f6YSSuJE
around in fear. Everything about this house is just off.
"The504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgLsKwwa5g
girl." Eve replied impatiently. Still with that weird smile on her face. Then she504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgRzD4CmCX
added, “The girl that always tells us what to do.”
Then she disappeared into the room.
