Our lives changed with just430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqX9FkEDQ4n
the sound of a gunshot.
One night, one gunshot, one dead body430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOcRgZhnPK
discovered the next morning.
That was how my best friends and I got tangled430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvcMD3MJvo
up in a murder mystery that changed not just our summer plans, but our entire430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH49tsHGO1K
lives.
Here I am right now, sitting in my bedroom and430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVUy6XKoo3
looking impatiently at the time waiting the doorbell to ring. Evelyn and I had430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0IeuWpJb6
to search the Smith’s mansion for a clue. This is our third search since the430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqn21Y3Io9
murder. The second search left a sour taste in our mouth. Iris, one of our best430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIIt5q2JxI
friends, was almost killed. She is currently in the hospital in a coma.430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqOlEnPTsJ
“indefinite” the doctor had said. These words echoed in my head and drove me to430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuyGQkSe4e
get to the bottom of this mystery.
7:45am
The doorbell rang.
Finally.
I picked my stuff, ran out of my room, down the430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJywWjwWNT
stairs and to the door. I flung it open.
“After a million years! We430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDQYWMExZs
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 and430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8wL6W6QPU
dramatic but, in my defense, my heart was beating like crazy, and I just wanted430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcskAuggDTn
to get things over with. I was already overthinking things as it was already.430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQ5UrZRCI5
All I could think of was the fact that Iris was almost murdered, and her killer430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxCCI4fVVk
is running free. Probably camping out at the Smith`s mansion… or in my house. I430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcPFD5qLWN
don’t know, and I don’t even want to think about anything else but to find the430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoO45mLWmV
answer. And the answer, is behind those huge thick doors of the smith`s house.430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8v9w9SLV1
And today, I hope to uncover it.
Those doors…. quite like that of the430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0zmnT56XH
entrance to hell. All these years, I had never seen the house as such a scarred430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7BRch4q1W
monument. But at the beginning of summer break, things changed. LOADS of430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1h30knjlgA
things. And I must deal with these changes.
Evelyn stepped in front of me and dropped430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3JaRSaBKW
the duffel bag on the dusty porch.
“Ready when you are!” she announced430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPo2rCv9p7
as she dropped to her knees and unzipped the bag.
“Ready!” I replied. For some odd430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzg64QrqLk
reasons, that word was so difficult for me to say. It seemed like the weirdest430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZt3lTv06B
thing to admit. Who in their right senses would be born ready to go exploring430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmGPQAdGMT
an abandoned house where a murder was committed, where her best friend was430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjYSoRynpX
almost killed, and most importantly, where a potential killer is hiding.
“Done!’ Evelyn announced as she430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcrYWNMKxF
straightened up and pushed the door opened just a crack.
“Wait!” I demanded, preventing her430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWxNAZVHwA
from going in. “We should know that as we are walking into this place, we might430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLYbTF0ITV
be the next target.”
“Yeah, I know. And we should be very430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRnDJevJF6
careful.”
“Very! You have your backup430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vOZVCO2ck
flashlights, right?”
“Never go anywhere without them!”
We laughed nervously. Evelyn then gave me430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGYNZGKXRV
a reassuring nod, then pushed the door open. Taking a huge breath, we walked430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptHx8ZPP9n
into our very own doom.
The house greeted us with the usual430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVv4fnCbfhu
dust. We went around the house. Our circle430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgmsw2j2i4
of white light from our torch, followed us on our journey. I clutched my pepper430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMgS7tYG5T
spray tight in my other hand with my heart beating like crazy. Everything seemed430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAwTWI0iTj
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. I430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMp7zR8vfN
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 to430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoyuPvzRWj
go into the study. I tried shaking of the strange feeling and walking away, but430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vw9gbEjlY
I felt myself being dragged to the door.430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vClUHCLQc
NO… Not dragged. I was WALKING! Even430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCPDOOgVs9
though I didn’t want to go, I saw myself walking towards the study.
Fear gripped my whole being. I430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWlxrg2e6n
heard Evelyn`s voice ask if I was ok.
“OF COURSE NOT!” I screamed. “I can430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYx3hUfARoq
hear my own voice in my head telling me to do what I don’t want to.”
Adrenaline flowed through my veins430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrX0stssfF
as I listened to myself talking. To my horror, that wasn’t what I screamed. I heard430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAy0T0VoEH
myself scream: “I AM FINE! LET’S JUST GET THIS OVER WITH!”
WHAT? That so not what I wanted to430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOUo8vLguP
say. I stared at Evelyn as she asked me what was wrong with me. She explained430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDDsTbTlSa
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. Maybe430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jzrYnTtsx
that’s it. Maybe because I didn’t get enough sleep last night, I am hearing430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaiBUzYYkq
things.
“Sorry Eve, I didn’t mean anything I430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdiEFgbqCa
said.” I apologized. As we continued our search.
We walked away from the study door430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpW6hoNMput
again. Then I heard it loud and clear this time.
“GET430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiohAv53j2
IN THERE!”.
I was so startled that I sprayed my spray into Evelyn’s eyes out of430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIc5SXGYwo
shock. I dropped the pepper spray, quite dazed. I started apologizing but430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5Ju93Rmj6
stopped in shock. I stared at Evelyn in surprise.
Something is wrong. Very wrong.
Evelyn wasn’t in pain. In fact, she didn’t430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALKPOceQmK
look as though she was in pain at all. Instead, she smiled at me, walked430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwamYNSyEg
towards the study door, and opened it.
“Evelyn, are you ok?” I asked as the430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjSqfbnN7z
fear and shock I felt made my leg quiver.
“Yes, I am! Fiona. She wants us to430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxJSm0zZOa
search the study!” she replied in a hypnotic way and with a horrific smile.
“Who?” I stammered as I looked430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fe1FyYmH8
around in fear. Everything about this house is just off.
"The430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnzdNcBpvG
girl." Eve replied impatiently. Still with that weird smile on her face. Then she430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5OjBxtUpL
added, “The girl that always tells us what to do.”
Then she disappeared into the room.
