Our lives changed with just412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUMs93iEsC
the sound of a gunshot.
One night, one gunshot, one dead body412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6pfXQsjiD
discovered the next morning.
That was how my best friends and I got tangled412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKHMuFsTC1
up in a murder mystery that changed not just our summer plans, but our entire412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZdeEYBt11
lives.
Here I am right now, sitting in my bedroom and412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmmcoK1Tha
looking impatiently at the time waiting the doorbell to ring. Evelyn and I had412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32RSfpOadn
to search the Smith’s mansion for a clue. This is our third search since the412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvpgEoxbE7
murder. The second search left a sour taste in our mouth. Iris, one of our best412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzX8NcjPil
friends, was almost killed. She is currently in the hospital in a coma.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9KnNCO2Dc
“indefinite” the doctor had said. These words echoed in my head and drove me to412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6eFSGV8aj
get to the bottom of this mystery.
7:45am
The doorbell rang.
Finally.
I picked my stuff, ran out of my room, down the412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XfHf1uon3
stairs and to the door. I flung it open.
“After a million years! We412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOk731IsIe
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 and412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByUbhQ2CiE
dramatic but, in my defense, my heart was beating like crazy, and I just wanted412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKnAZraXIe
to get things over with. I was already overthinking things as it was already.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhp5Bk708aJ
All I could think of was the fact that Iris was almost murdered, and her killer412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgZgurVV3I
is running free. Probably camping out at the Smith`s mansion… or in my house. I412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYqgp3qelH
don’t know, and I don’t even want to think about anything else but to find the412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhljMRB9fT
answer. And the answer, is behind those huge thick doors of the smith`s house.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHxi6N7K35
And today, I hope to uncover it.
Those doors…. quite like that of the412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEc8VGGjiv
entrance to hell. All these years, I had never seen the house as such a scarred412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBgbRuCIU1
monument. But at the beginning of summer break, things changed. LOADS of412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8WeVvSbm1
things. And I must deal with these changes.
Evelyn stepped in front of me and dropped412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdxr2X6fd3
the duffel bag on the dusty porch.
“Ready when you are!” she announced412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9U4fhGZAnW
as she dropped to her knees and unzipped the bag.
“Ready!” I replied. For some odd412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0QkqWHB4H
reasons, that word was so difficult for me to say. It seemed like the weirdest412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gZbl6xwCq
thing to admit. Who in their right senses would be born ready to go exploring412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKGzBcgX0I
an abandoned house where a murder was committed, where her best friend was412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBuRJywSZy
almost killed, and most importantly, where a potential killer is hiding.
“Done!’ Evelyn announced as she412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHVOt9SkFS
straightened up and pushed the door opened just a crack.
“Wait!” I demanded, preventing her412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHvCLvDtgy
from going in. “We should know that as we are walking into this place, we might412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWOCFUNQJK
be the next target.”
“Yeah, I know. And we should be very412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0ZOBFym2q
careful.”
“Very! You have your backup412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiD03GbNw4
flashlights, right?”
“Never go anywhere without them!”
We laughed nervously. Evelyn then gave me412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPAVhdz8Pd
a reassuring nod, then pushed the door open. Taking a huge breath, we walked412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWrYGaLSRN
into our very own doom.
The house greeted us with the usual412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9g9jazjDE
dust. We went around the house. Our circle412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkz861Dwht
of white light from our torch, followed us on our journey. I clutched my pepper412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8ms0ldzPZ
spray tight in my other hand with my heart beating like crazy. Everything seemed412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZNerz3TDa
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. I412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2K9Rb49nH
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 to412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJngXuqJDT
go into the study. I tried shaking of the strange feeling and walking away, but412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrObsI5UaqX
I felt myself being dragged to the door.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvarlcgn3wr
NO… Not dragged. I was WALKING! Even412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnH21cVWJG8
though I didn’t want to go, I saw myself walking towards the study.
Fear gripped my whole being. I412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe81DJ4rE0r
heard Evelyn`s voice ask if I was ok.
“OF COURSE NOT!” I screamed. “I can412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkegEY4vyr
hear my own voice in my head telling me to do what I don’t want to.”
Adrenaline flowed through my veins412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQF1PclVcB1
as I listened to myself talking. To my horror, that wasn’t what I screamed. I heard412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9W5LcyaEoL
myself scream: “I AM FINE! LET’S JUST GET THIS OVER WITH!”
WHAT? That so not what I wanted to412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPvpd3VnrO
say. I stared at Evelyn as she asked me what was wrong with me. She explained412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsz7mwjiXF
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. Maybe412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9L3pRXEmn
that’s it. Maybe because I didn’t get enough sleep last night, I am hearing412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0b56YBQaSo
things.
“Sorry Eve, I didn’t mean anything I412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRAT4A6aa2
said.” I apologized. As we continued our search.
We walked away from the study door412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpZrTQQmmB
again. Then I heard it loud and clear this time.
“GET412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2k4FjXW1w
IN THERE!”.
I was so startled that I sprayed my spray into Evelyn’s eyes out of412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGQ5Bv5RcT
shock. I dropped the pepper spray, quite dazed. I started apologizing but412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqVTSgPhlf
stopped in shock. I stared at Evelyn in surprise.
Something is wrong. Very wrong.
Evelyn wasn’t in pain. In fact, she didn’t412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcyS4BK7wF
look as though she was in pain at all. Instead, she smiled at me, walked412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwsxGG9szi
towards the study door, and opened it.
“Evelyn, are you ok?” I asked as the412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSZWq8OrtS
fear and shock I felt made my leg quiver.
“Yes, I am! Fiona. She wants us to412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyW3gB01462
search the study!” she replied in a hypnotic way and with a horrific smile.
“Who?” I stammered as I looked412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwZs5E0Gsj
around in fear. Everything about this house is just off.
"The412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnX2OTeEnf
girl." Eve replied impatiently. Still with that weird smile on her face. Then she412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CqGmyZCFX
added, “The girl that always tells us what to do.”
Then she disappeared into the room.
