Our lives changed with just256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEp3xTWhWt
the sound of a gunshot.
One night, one gunshot, one dead body256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQp4y938XK
discovered the next morning.
That was how my best friends and I got tangled256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWWuM9v6US
up in a murder mystery that changed not just our summer plans, but our entire256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKEbAPAZCY
lives.
Here I am right now, sitting in my bedroom and256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmv4zv4VjyL
looking impatiently at the time waiting the doorbell to ring. Evelyn and I had256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlHbJnGKQd
to search the Smith’s mansion for a clue. This is our third search since the256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczDEzAgioF
murder. The second search left a sour taste in our mouth. Iris, one of our best256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOzIdQc0w2
friends, was almost killed. She is currently in the hospital in a coma.256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lb8iZ2LKg
“indefinite” the doctor had said. These words echoed in my head and drove me to256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFv6vIMhnG5
get to the bottom of this mystery.
7:45am
The doorbell rang.
Finally.
I picked my stuff, ran out of my room, down the256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvE7Luwgq6Z
stairs and to the door. I flung it open.
“After a million years! We256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLccRBvsXKU
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 and256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6B7UvmtU2
dramatic but, in my defense, my heart was beating like crazy, and I just wanted256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZTXMczu5E
to get things over with. I was already overthinking things as it was already.256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzOSnmEnCl
All I could think of was the fact that Iris was almost murdered, and her killer256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMahaAa4fnB
is running free. Probably camping out at the Smith`s mansion… or in my house. I256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdmJdtHtFN
don’t know, and I don’t even want to think about anything else but to find the256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrD3hJfWmhI
answer. And the answer, is behind those huge thick doors of the smith`s house.256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMkCwhhtrr
And today, I hope to uncover it.
Those doors…. quite like that of the256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfKIhKYmMO
entrance to hell. All these years, I had never seen the house as such a scarred256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9ylJz5752
monument. But at the beginning of summer break, things changed. LOADS of256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWVPzAYypj
things. And I must deal with these changes.
Evelyn stepped in front of me and dropped256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyn4FftHjkT
the duffel bag on the dusty porch.
“Ready when you are!” she announced256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJvz492D2v
as she dropped to her knees and unzipped the bag.
“Ready!” I replied. For some odd256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGu56bfrB0Y
reasons, that word was so difficult for me to say. It seemed like the weirdest256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTscQaEra0
thing to admit. Who in their right senses would be born ready to go exploring256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRh77IGBJHo
an abandoned house where a murder was committed, where her best friend was256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGP8BuVoDsG
almost killed, and most importantly, where a potential killer is hiding.
“Done!’ Evelyn announced as she256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQacGvsL1w
straightened up and pushed the door opened just a crack.
“Wait!” I demanded, preventing her256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraEEM3cir3
from going in. “We should know that as we are walking into this place, we might256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqF4aqIsA1C
be the next target.”
“Yeah, I know. And we should be very256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfvN2A749Z
careful.”
“Very! You have your backup256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZETD6PPPC
flashlights, right?”
“Never go anywhere without them!”
We laughed nervously. Evelyn then gave me256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLSal2DQEH
a reassuring nod, then pushed the door open. Taking a huge breath, we walked256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpfB0KLCD5
into our very own doom.
The house greeted us with the usual256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmoqTTcd5g
dust. We went around the house. Our circle256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbsK9CZS0N
of white light from our torch, followed us on our journey. I clutched my pepper256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSm7KIAao5L
spray tight in my other hand with my heart beating like crazy. Everything seemed256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWbGlzldep
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. I256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡay5VJSGc1V
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 to256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc741kW893j
go into the study. I tried shaking of the strange feeling and walking away, but256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSANUSHHwJ
I felt myself being dragged to the door.256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6td0eIXHD7
NO… Not dragged. I was WALKING! Even256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EEqfZyWlo
though I didn’t want to go, I saw myself walking towards the study.
Fear gripped my whole being. I256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMkTsOTyJb
heard Evelyn`s voice ask if I was ok.
“OF COURSE NOT!” I screamed. “I can256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVipgiQO0aW
hear my own voice in my head telling me to do what I don’t want to.”
Adrenaline flowed through my veins256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyw4giHB1y
as I listened to myself talking. To my horror, that wasn’t what I screamed. I heard256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9BKD2kioo
myself scream: “I AM FINE! LET’S JUST GET THIS OVER WITH!”
WHAT? That so not what I wanted to256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgxZCKKEoM
say. I stared at Evelyn as she asked me what was wrong with me. She explained256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtVicJcXxs
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. Maybe256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0qTa1dpOv
that’s it. Maybe because I didn’t get enough sleep last night, I am hearing256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIquWUzTVk
things.
“Sorry Eve, I didn’t mean anything I256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoZ03ZK9xe
said.” I apologized. As we continued our search.
We walked away from the study door256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlwyezQcRQ
again. Then I heard it loud and clear this time.
“GET256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmTkW5qT5g
IN THERE!”.
I was so startled that I sprayed my spray into Evelyn’s eyes out of256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAxhzIs8z3
shock. I dropped the pepper spray, quite dazed. I started apologizing but256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaDkKxxYWZ
stopped in shock. I stared at Evelyn in surprise.
Something is wrong. Very wrong.
Evelyn wasn’t in pain. In fact, she didn’t256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aiR5Zk7yG
look as though she was in pain at all. Instead, she smiled at me, walked256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwlAeCxgnP
towards the study door, and opened it.
“Evelyn, are you ok?” I asked as the256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLBvFEp3WD
fear and shock I felt made my leg quiver.
“Yes, I am! Fiona. She wants us to256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYznltFqYZ1
search the study!” she replied in a hypnotic way and with a horrific smile.
“Who?” I stammered as I looked256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG84Yszjhg4
around in fear. Everything about this house is just off.
"The256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7s3QBMO1d
girl." Eve replied impatiently. Still with that weird smile on her face. Then she256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUGxAtUuJO
added, “The girl that always tells us what to do.”
Then she disappeared into the room.
