Our lives changed with just394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaT6QOCIziQ
the sound of a gunshot.
One night, one gunshot, one dead body394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPYmVqexKg
discovered the next morning.
That was how my best friends and I got tangled394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bswhgpVAA
up in a murder mystery that changed not just our summer plans, but our entire394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPi668ZsEe
lives.
Here I am right now, sitting in my bedroom and394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCj36v2P52
looking impatiently at the time waiting the doorbell to ring. Evelyn and I had394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzshOTtqfi2
to search the Smith’s mansion for a clue. This is our third search since the394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPd7RSJzmPc
murder. The second search left a sour taste in our mouth. Iris, one of our best394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjCnruIuct
friends, was almost killed. She is currently in the hospital in a coma.394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuGADAeq4H
“indefinite” the doctor had said. These words echoed in my head and drove me to394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpjm5kF5d1
get to the bottom of this mystery.
7:45am
The doorbell rang.
Finally.
I picked my stuff, ran out of my room, down the394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAwbfLSkq7
stairs and to the door. I flung it open.
“After a million years! We394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJbwTNQDeA
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 and394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEhdVTJdqK
dramatic but, in my defense, my heart was beating like crazy, and I just wanted394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZ2XFhNNmE
to get things over with. I was already overthinking things as it was already.394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpcgqVib7Y
All I could think of was the fact that Iris was almost murdered, and her killer394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuv5noHdRWP
is running free. Probably camping out at the Smith`s mansion… or in my house. I394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQixLFJ1bor
don’t know, and I don’t even want to think about anything else but to find the394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZDCahImMV
answer. And the answer, is behind those huge thick doors of the smith`s house.394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBeIsd1b8c
And today, I hope to uncover it.
Those doors…. quite like that of the394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5DADyOu0C
entrance to hell. All these years, I had never seen the house as such a scarred394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwCWgyla7B
monument. But at the beginning of summer break, things changed. LOADS of394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtQHl35rrq
things. And I must deal with these changes.
Evelyn stepped in front of me and dropped394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc622dNVZX5
the duffel bag on the dusty porch.
“Ready when you are!” she announced394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcEhwBbthM
as she dropped to her knees and unzipped the bag.
“Ready!” I replied. For some odd394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLtmrhguP7
reasons, that word was so difficult for me to say. It seemed like the weirdest394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BOZTGcwPq
thing to admit. Who in their right senses would be born ready to go exploring394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQq1n6FD00
an abandoned house where a murder was committed, where her best friend was394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrP9Y3HIs2p
almost killed, and most importantly, where a potential killer is hiding.
“Done!’ Evelyn announced as she394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMM8MoyS3k
straightened up and pushed the door opened just a crack.
“Wait!” I demanded, preventing her394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDjS2Ev1MO
from going in. “We should know that as we are walking into this place, we might394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdK7KOlSvQ
be the next target.”
“Yeah, I know. And we should be very394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnE2F1tndeT
careful.”
“Very! You have your backup394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9m7Qzn3xF
flashlights, right?”
“Never go anywhere without them!”
We laughed nervously. Evelyn then gave me394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGx9VrHuQv
a reassuring nod, then pushed the door open. Taking a huge breath, we walked394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJagkqpS87Y
into our very own doom.
The house greeted us with the usual394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqu4IgCUTru
dust. We went around the house. Our circle394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPHfNgYoPP
of white light from our torch, followed us on our journey. I clutched my pepper394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0g5ts2T9lt
spray tight in my other hand with my heart beating like crazy. Everything seemed394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmBsBSICBa
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. I394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4n2fga1Qc
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 to394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEx9MSs9FcL
go into the study. I tried shaking of the strange feeling and walking away, but394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfeAJuGQfT
I felt myself being dragged to the door.394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxb9B2u2b6
NO… Not dragged. I was WALKING! Even394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqkeNRGlQ3
though I didn’t want to go, I saw myself walking towards the study.
Fear gripped my whole being. I394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSSQnZ9zEE
heard Evelyn`s voice ask if I was ok.
“OF COURSE NOT!” I screamed. “I can394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtNhhgJXG7
hear my own voice in my head telling me to do what I don’t want to.”
Adrenaline flowed through my veins394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9tJmQEcZd
as I listened to myself talking. To my horror, that wasn’t what I screamed. I heard394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoC47MaBoz0
myself scream: “I AM FINE! LET’S JUST GET THIS OVER WITH!”
WHAT? That so not what I wanted to394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LdHAnKyeb
say. I stared at Evelyn as she asked me what was wrong with me. She explained394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbj1csr2kGm
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. Maybe394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoF3X9AZcm
that’s it. Maybe because I didn’t get enough sleep last night, I am hearing394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RT3YsvRdp
things.
“Sorry Eve, I didn’t mean anything I394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmFUJENIz5
said.” I apologized. As we continued our search.
We walked away from the study door394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprbOkztequ
again. Then I heard it loud and clear this time.
“GET394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8JjYAArbY
IN THERE!”.
I was so startled that I sprayed my spray into Evelyn’s eyes out of394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRlG8UJGym
shock. I dropped the pepper spray, quite dazed. I started apologizing but394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BLb9BRtEk
stopped in shock. I stared at Evelyn in surprise.
Something is wrong. Very wrong.
Evelyn wasn’t in pain. In fact, she didn’t394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyqzg7UA1i
look as though she was in pain at all. Instead, she smiled at me, walked394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHbyc6FEz3
towards the study door, and opened it.
“Evelyn, are you ok?” I asked as the394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZ2pIgDWM4
fear and shock I felt made my leg quiver.
“Yes, I am! Fiona. She wants us to394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQZ5cvPWgI
search the study!” she replied in a hypnotic way and with a horrific smile.
“Who?” I stammered as I looked394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhdyaDqYbm
around in fear. Everything about this house is just off.
"The394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MYCJi0BhA
girl." Eve replied impatiently. Still with that weird smile on her face. Then she394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWu5MzA4yl
added, “The girl that always tells us what to do.”
Then she disappeared into the room.
