Our lives changed with just244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedrkIMdCsg
the sound of a gunshot.
One night, one gunshot, one dead body244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvJG9Gk2EO
discovered the next morning.
That was how my best friends and I got tangled244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmbzXJVXRT
up in a murder mystery that changed not just our summer plans, but our entire244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcr5lrRFWuF
lives.
Here I am right now, sitting in my bedroom and244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KXiu7wC8J
looking impatiently at the time waiting the doorbell to ring. Evelyn and I had244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUU5j6r84I
to search the Smith’s mansion for a clue. This is our third search since the244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaASwQ6uANK
murder. The second search left a sour taste in our mouth. Iris, one of our best244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pK0eoX53u
friends, was almost killed. She is currently in the hospital in a coma.244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgT7wPkfJbe
“indefinite” the doctor had said. These words echoed in my head and drove me to244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdF88aCJwnE
get to the bottom of this mystery.
7:45am
The doorbell rang.
Finally.
I picked my stuff, ran out of my room, down the244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gqd1Bbk9v
stairs and to the door. I flung it open.
“After a million years! We244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MDZBBAZkb
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 and244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4e5ZIgHplc
dramatic but, in my defense, my heart was beating like crazy, and I just wanted244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAvhpMYifF
to get things over with. I was already overthinking things as it was already.244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6meODfFPhM
All I could think of was the fact that Iris was almost murdered, and her killer244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZorI32X4FL
is running free. Probably camping out at the Smith`s mansion… or in my house. I244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTxRYbGCLW
don’t know, and I don’t even want to think about anything else but to find the244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OY6BDdtmH
answer. And the answer, is behind those huge thick doors of the smith`s house.244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZCgLjXXfM
And today, I hope to uncover it.
Those doors…. quite like that of the244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfd7lkMia8
entrance to hell. All these years, I had never seen the house as such a scarred244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKhXfB1gh9
monument. But at the beginning of summer break, things changed. LOADS of244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MCarcBxcq
things. And I must deal with these changes.
Evelyn stepped in front of me and dropped244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklLHK9WdiA
the duffel bag on the dusty porch.
“Ready when you are!” she announced244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLY1dt17vI
as she dropped to her knees and unzipped the bag.
“Ready!” I replied. For some odd244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2vbAsKuUX
reasons, that word was so difficult for me to say. It seemed like the weirdest244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3JWUZNG1F
thing to admit. Who in their right senses would be born ready to go exploring244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesqgei5gss
an abandoned house where a murder was committed, where her best friend was244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCyYTs3Nob
almost killed, and most importantly, where a potential killer is hiding.
“Done!’ Evelyn announced as she244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Hg8tavC7C
straightened up and pushed the door opened just a crack.
“Wait!” I demanded, preventing her244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHMmaNF2iK
from going in. “We should know that as we are walking into this place, we might244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJWaMI8YVu
be the next target.”
“Yeah, I know. And we should be very244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNG4lOB2Tmn
careful.”
“Very! You have your backup244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGetZEjGuUV
flashlights, right?”
“Never go anywhere without them!”
We laughed nervously. Evelyn then gave me244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRqcc6CFZy
a reassuring nod, then pushed the door open. Taking a huge breath, we walked244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMxVKpUcCo
into our very own doom.
The house greeted us with the usual244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUsJNsNRzr
dust. We went around the house. Our circle244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlF40ev0g1
of white light from our torch, followed us on our journey. I clutched my pepper244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxCnzxiF7R
spray tight in my other hand with my heart beating like crazy. Everything seemed244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEQVGRTwn8
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. I244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMS9GhDruJc
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 to244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcv84aNTIj
go into the study. I tried shaking of the strange feeling and walking away, but244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmwq6SFFev
I felt myself being dragged to the door.244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYzLwrucK1
NO… Not dragged. I was WALKING! Even244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpmNKOyIwh
though I didn’t want to go, I saw myself walking towards the study.
Fear gripped my whole being. I244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3jrUzO5m7
heard Evelyn`s voice ask if I was ok.
“OF COURSE NOT!” I screamed. “I can244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡht6jz40rOp
hear my own voice in my head telling me to do what I don’t want to.”
Adrenaline flowed through my veins244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Z0Ztna1FM
as I listened to myself talking. To my horror, that wasn’t what I screamed. I heard244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7zG4hR039
myself scream: “I AM FINE! LET’S JUST GET THIS OVER WITH!”
WHAT? That so not what I wanted to244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtzdMxEHVA
say. I stared at Evelyn as she asked me what was wrong with me. She explained244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlnGPI23Eu
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. Maybe244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm67NFnOW9O
that’s it. Maybe because I didn’t get enough sleep last night, I am hearing244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIMKQt1Zfd
things.
“Sorry Eve, I didn’t mean anything I244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKo3rcq2ny
said.” I apologized. As we continued our search.
We walked away from the study door244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdaLURHPLI
again. Then I heard it loud and clear this time.
“GET244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqTARnVX61
IN THERE!”.
I was so startled that I sprayed my spray into Evelyn’s eyes out of244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9G93KrGN6j
shock. I dropped the pepper spray, quite dazed. I started apologizing but244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycKLBHo72J
stopped in shock. I stared at Evelyn in surprise.
Something is wrong. Very wrong.
Evelyn wasn’t in pain. In fact, she didn’t244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AIgIYYjPd
look as though she was in pain at all. Instead, she smiled at me, walked244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTbQkhZLRD
towards the study door, and opened it.
“Evelyn, are you ok?” I asked as the244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbd9yetH0LH
fear and shock I felt made my leg quiver.
“Yes, I am! Fiona. She wants us to244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKsuirFAxh
search the study!” she replied in a hypnotic way and with a horrific smile.
“Who?” I stammered as I looked244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTviesmGD3u
around in fear. Everything about this house is just off.
"The244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpayWxiOiVN
girl." Eve replied impatiently. Still with that weird smile on her face. Then she244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LX2rkYljo
added, “The girl that always tells us what to do.”
Then she disappeared into the room.
