Our lives changed with just376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCTOZqRX2H
the sound of a gunshot.
One night, one gunshot, one dead body376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcKdtHGVAL
discovered the next morning.
That was how my best friends and I got tangled376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ccjmH0y5G
up in a murder mystery that changed not just our summer plans, but our entire376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWvkPjHE3c
lives.
Here I am right now, sitting in my bedroom and376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aIwdnfmqN
looking impatiently at the time waiting the doorbell to ring. Evelyn and I had376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhyWk4Xz9O
to search the Smith’s mansion for a clue. This is our third search since the376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FhTohPb2K
murder. The second search left a sour taste in our mouth. Iris, one of our best376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkvUj3lFvX
friends, was almost killed. She is currently in the hospital in a coma.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ408HxIfYcy
“indefinite” the doctor had said. These words echoed in my head and drove me to376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbD07eLaV1Q
get to the bottom of this mystery.
7:45am
The doorbell rang.
Finally.
I picked my stuff, ran out of my room, down the376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMtNlMC8gm
stairs and to the door. I flung it open.
“After a million years! We376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTApiACwigs
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 and376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRIJxpp7QQ
dramatic but, in my defense, my heart was beating like crazy, and I just wanted376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbhcdgTgRM
to get things over with. I was already overthinking things as it was already.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkRY0TKAt2
All I could think of was the fact that Iris was almost murdered, and her killer376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBHk0kETau
is running free. Probably camping out at the Smith`s mansion… or in my house. I376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLTzhO2LcG
don’t know, and I don’t even want to think about anything else but to find the376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnflf7NkqPD
answer. And the answer, is behind those huge thick doors of the smith`s house.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vwKAHAp3D
And today, I hope to uncover it.
Those doors…. quite like that of the376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAS6lvwCvQy
entrance to hell. All these years, I had never seen the house as such a scarred376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbVPuMrkE6
monument. But at the beginning of summer break, things changed. LOADS of376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqP7iQWLfzo
things. And I must deal with these changes.
Evelyn stepped in front of me and dropped376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsyJifZX3j
the duffel bag on the dusty porch.
“Ready when you are!” she announced376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2NAikaXG2
as she dropped to her knees and unzipped the bag.
“Ready!” I replied. For some odd376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWN7LWv3IdT
reasons, that word was so difficult for me to say. It seemed like the weirdest376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfs3DFbswZ
thing to admit. Who in their right senses would be born ready to go exploring376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtTcbX101g
an abandoned house where a murder was committed, where her best friend was376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSubJfU3lP
almost killed, and most importantly, where a potential killer is hiding.
“Done!’ Evelyn announced as she376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVt7vs1c4dF
straightened up and pushed the door opened just a crack.
“Wait!” I demanded, preventing her376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIKX7QBWjr
from going in. “We should know that as we are walking into this place, we might376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRK1AQSviX
be the next target.”
“Yeah, I know. And we should be very376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKKoYbKmG2
careful.”
“Very! You have your backup376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyA88XG0lT
flashlights, right?”
“Never go anywhere without them!”
We laughed nervously. Evelyn then gave me376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62DuqBp6XV
a reassuring nod, then pushed the door open. Taking a huge breath, we walked376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZ5IgrtIxm
into our very own doom.
The house greeted us with the usual376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicrOwqJ58y
dust. We went around the house. Our circle376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPTmojoQnM
of white light from our torch, followed us on our journey. I clutched my pepper376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUd82FIYB4
spray tight in my other hand with my heart beating like crazy. Everything seemed376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qpJWb6vs4
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. I376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUPB2pHjW7
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 to376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtbypzyKV2
go into the study. I tried shaking of the strange feeling and walking away, but376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4OjQlrYGy
I felt myself being dragged to the door.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCoozttabO
NO… Not dragged. I was WALKING! Even376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcUFiO4v60
though I didn’t want to go, I saw myself walking towards the study.
Fear gripped my whole being. I376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXUvonlPqC
heard Evelyn`s voice ask if I was ok.
“OF COURSE NOT!” I screamed. “I can376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOFZ1tX5r4
hear my own voice in my head telling me to do what I don’t want to.”
Adrenaline flowed through my veins376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rTG12wrE9
as I listened to myself talking. To my horror, that wasn’t what I screamed. I heard376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KEf0Kf82u
myself scream: “I AM FINE! LET’S JUST GET THIS OVER WITH!”
WHAT? That so not what I wanted to376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrWyiLcP8e
say. I stared at Evelyn as she asked me what was wrong with me. She explained376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6X0C6azZgs
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. Maybe376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOuFaaBQga
that’s it. Maybe because I didn’t get enough sleep last night, I am hearing376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJqNoyjDm5
things.
“Sorry Eve, I didn’t mean anything I376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSN9zWVUQl
said.” I apologized. As we continued our search.
We walked away from the study door376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PAnDzxwo1
again. Then I heard it loud and clear this time.
“GET376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmM2gnZCwD
IN THERE!”.
I was so startled that I sprayed my spray into Evelyn’s eyes out of376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHuchKTfZz
shock. I dropped the pepper spray, quite dazed. I started apologizing but376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaituAQ5BLa
stopped in shock. I stared at Evelyn in surprise.
Something is wrong. Very wrong.
Evelyn wasn’t in pain. In fact, she didn’t376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4T973a9syx
look as though she was in pain at all. Instead, she smiled at me, walked376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhTmBMhG67
towards the study door, and opened it.
“Evelyn, are you ok?” I asked as the376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIGTM2Oi0Q
fear and shock I felt made my leg quiver.
“Yes, I am! Fiona. She wants us to376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yInavDsXY
search the study!” she replied in a hypnotic way and with a horrific smile.
“Who?” I stammered as I looked376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaq0gTPm0vQ
around in fear. Everything about this house is just off.
"The376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpQUL6UErq
girl." Eve replied impatiently. Still with that weird smile on her face. Then she376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0NnHG9sR9
added, “The girl that always tells us what to do.”
Then she disappeared into the room.
