Our lives changed with just298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsFBbMTI5R
the sound of a gunshot.
One night, one gunshot, one dead body298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUkYH8MeH4
discovered the next morning.
That was how my best friends and I got tangled298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4w2f1CCVD9
up in a murder mystery that changed not just our summer plans, but our entire298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuqJbQyH7q
lives.
Here I am right now, sitting in my bedroom and298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSR16KVKih
looking impatiently at the time waiting the doorbell to ring. Evelyn and I had298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzOpd8ZWWd
to search the Smith’s mansion for a clue. This is our third search since the298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58rz6mDEIM
murder. The second search left a sour taste in our mouth. Iris, one of our best298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6mgJeudiV
friends, was almost killed. She is currently in the hospital in a coma.298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0O1I9uvcR
“indefinite” the doctor had said. These words echoed in my head and drove me to298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGrPwBtUGb
get to the bottom of this mystery.
7:45am
The doorbell rang.
Finally.
I picked my stuff, ran out of my room, down the298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZq0Bq7Wbn
stairs and to the door. I flung it open.
“After a million years! We298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhg8SBRNbo
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 and298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9CUol4wSC
dramatic but, in my defense, my heart was beating like crazy, and I just wanted298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4s6N4D5Nms
to get things over with. I was already overthinking things as it was already.298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkXyQbI8w9
All I could think of was the fact that Iris was almost murdered, and her killer298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkG8W2Vzvrs
is running free. Probably camping out at the Smith`s mansion… or in my house. I298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFk2DEBFpt8
don’t know, and I don’t even want to think about anything else but to find the298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9DN32vCJo
answer. And the answer, is behind those huge thick doors of the smith`s house.298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpJhFC5Sp8
And today, I hope to uncover it.
Those doors…. quite like that of the298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAnXiz0yi4
entrance to hell. All these years, I had never seen the house as such a scarred298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvCxYju042
monument. But at the beginning of summer break, things changed. LOADS of298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvlloGif8T
things. And I must deal with these changes.
Evelyn stepped in front of me and dropped298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsRz1aVKyj
the duffel bag on the dusty porch.
“Ready when you are!” she announced298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNLkt0kquI
as she dropped to her knees and unzipped the bag.
“Ready!” I replied. For some odd298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjUL8OuAUn
reasons, that word was so difficult for me to say. It seemed like the weirdest298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kPkT2y353
thing to admit. Who in their right senses would be born ready to go exploring298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujllh75i70
an abandoned house where a murder was committed, where her best friend was298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ilOVDgWcb
almost killed, and most importantly, where a potential killer is hiding.
“Done!’ Evelyn announced as she298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXnECVJg5p
straightened up and pushed the door opened just a crack.
“Wait!” I demanded, preventing her298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6mvQUvlyc
from going in. “We should know that as we are walking into this place, we might298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8dnQK0rkB
be the next target.”
“Yeah, I know. And we should be very298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EN3ycLrW5
careful.”
“Very! You have your backup298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5CxslpyJo
flashlights, right?”
“Never go anywhere without them!”
We laughed nervously. Evelyn then gave me298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpf8rzO0Am
a reassuring nod, then pushed the door open. Taking a huge breath, we walked298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHabAN40VJ
into our very own doom.
The house greeted us with the usual298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLPPGgLVeu
dust. We went around the house. Our circle298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbmXZ8M2fC
of white light from our torch, followed us on our journey. I clutched my pepper298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzJWWTuqeL
spray tight in my other hand with my heart beating like crazy. Everything seemed298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrepcCJWdBS
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. I298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbPwZDjpes
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 to298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LTVKzlb5I
go into the study. I tried shaking of the strange feeling and walking away, but298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnF1VlK95yD
I felt myself being dragged to the door.298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZ2BrCEUEr
NO… Not dragged. I was WALKING! Even298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93CoqIr0KY
though I didn’t want to go, I saw myself walking towards the study.
Fear gripped my whole being. I298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0OBLZXpqy
heard Evelyn`s voice ask if I was ok.
“OF COURSE NOT!” I screamed. “I can298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZml5uNUxOs
hear my own voice in my head telling me to do what I don’t want to.”
Adrenaline flowed through my veins298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZ0mda6blI
as I listened to myself talking. To my horror, that wasn’t what I screamed. I heard298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ft3JsdTtW
myself scream: “I AM FINE! LET’S JUST GET THIS OVER WITH!”
WHAT? That so not what I wanted to298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8dETKktES
say. I stared at Evelyn as she asked me what was wrong with me. She explained298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6vBwH2EDm
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. Maybe298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDHxwqJBME
that’s it. Maybe because I didn’t get enough sleep last night, I am hearing298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpELhJEEzcP
things.
“Sorry Eve, I didn’t mean anything I298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrE4sqYwKXa
said.” I apologized. As we continued our search.
We walked away from the study door298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFanwKMRYeU
again. Then I heard it loud and clear this time.
“GET298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBlMV2eOna
IN THERE!”.
I was so startled that I sprayed my spray into Evelyn’s eyes out of298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEoXCPkq3N
shock. I dropped the pepper spray, quite dazed. I started apologizing but298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6zKNI7FL6
stopped in shock. I stared at Evelyn in surprise.
Something is wrong. Very wrong.
Evelyn wasn’t in pain. In fact, she didn’t298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5Z17iW4bL
look as though she was in pain at all. Instead, she smiled at me, walked298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8fj4apBDW
towards the study door, and opened it.
“Evelyn, are you ok?” I asked as the298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTltULb1BX
fear and shock I felt made my leg quiver.
“Yes, I am! Fiona. She wants us to298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOqdsEieAI
search the study!” she replied in a hypnotic way and with a horrific smile.
“Who?” I stammered as I looked298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cqhrCMfVH
around in fear. Everything about this house is just off.
"The298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZe2SkEiig
girl." Eve replied impatiently. Still with that weird smile on her face. Then she298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8O1jvxLPzy
added, “The girl that always tells us what to do.”
Then she disappeared into the room.
