Our lives changed with just257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gG5rL9N2S
the sound of a gunshot.
One night, one gunshot, one dead body257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPzEolNe48
discovered the next morning.
That was how my best friends and I got tangled257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlosB47XvSw
up in a murder mystery that changed not just our summer plans, but our entire257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsIZI1u2lA
lives.
Here I am right now, sitting in my bedroom and257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmO20PT0s7K
looking impatiently at the time waiting the doorbell to ring. Evelyn and I had257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoVct1gYRC
to search the Smith’s mansion for a clue. This is our third search since the257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPc00mJFqI
murder. The second search left a sour taste in our mouth. Iris, one of our best257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡettzqotgF3
friends, was almost killed. She is currently in the hospital in a coma.257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqm3eDUa4f
“indefinite” the doctor had said. These words echoed in my head and drove me to257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQ4KHMFbks
get to the bottom of this mystery.
7:45am
The doorbell rang.
Finally.
I picked my stuff, ran out of my room, down the257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKLNtrOZ6c
stairs and to the door. I flung it open.
“After a million years! We257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqqdwyXVaS
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 and257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0dTa2unzp
dramatic but, in my defense, my heart was beating like crazy, and I just wanted257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllLn6xRvvI
to get things over with. I was already overthinking things as it was already.257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPH1kwz4wt
All I could think of was the fact that Iris was almost murdered, and her killer257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoI2qfjNFK
is running free. Probably camping out at the Smith`s mansion… or in my house. I257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCww7Jx4G47
don’t know, and I don’t even want to think about anything else but to find the257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwU9vUYwqt
answer. And the answer, is behind those huge thick doors of the smith`s house.257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqGu5kSZ5n
And today, I hope to uncover it.
Those doors…. quite like that of the257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17QSoQsFrF
entrance to hell. All these years, I had never seen the house as such a scarred257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIzwEVTi8e
monument. But at the beginning of summer break, things changed. LOADS of257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmJ4OcUdWQ
things. And I must deal with these changes.
Evelyn stepped in front of me and dropped257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEXv8nHVbw
the duffel bag on the dusty porch.
“Ready when you are!” she announced257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDtJ1aJM68
as she dropped to her knees and unzipped the bag.
“Ready!” I replied. For some odd257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRiT2k3orB
reasons, that word was so difficult for me to say. It seemed like the weirdest257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuT2z4DC8d
thing to admit. Who in their right senses would be born ready to go exploring257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYA0fXhfeM
an abandoned house where a murder was committed, where her best friend was257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFKcmqvGO9
almost killed, and most importantly, where a potential killer is hiding.
“Done!’ Evelyn announced as she257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQKTBjVJFG
straightened up and pushed the door opened just a crack.
“Wait!” I demanded, preventing her257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAaxPrtfWe
from going in. “We should know that as we are walking into this place, we might257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUdQ46yvuy
be the next target.”
“Yeah, I know. And we should be very257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVG46sdGgE
careful.”
“Very! You have your backup257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDyvxaC0sH
flashlights, right?”
“Never go anywhere without them!”
We laughed nervously. Evelyn then gave me257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBALSjMEWhe
a reassuring nod, then pushed the door open. Taking a huge breath, we walked257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14URzd81VG
into our very own doom.
The house greeted us with the usual257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBW9wLITFW
dust. We went around the house. Our circle257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MVUHqWP4Z
of white light from our torch, followed us on our journey. I clutched my pepper257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9htaseVCf
spray tight in my other hand with my heart beating like crazy. Everything seemed257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5e73pvwv1j
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. I257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFc6LRctCV
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 to257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNkBbHkLKJ
go into the study. I tried shaking of the strange feeling and walking away, but257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaAKBq5Oot
I felt myself being dragged to the door.257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjPKMQ9T9M
NO… Not dragged. I was WALKING! Even257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeKuIYKe2d
though I didn’t want to go, I saw myself walking towards the study.
Fear gripped my whole being. I257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ARsgKLRqO
heard Evelyn`s voice ask if I was ok.
“OF COURSE NOT!” I screamed. “I can257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGKYOgJnHb
hear my own voice in my head telling me to do what I don’t want to.”
Adrenaline flowed through my veins257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjVH7N22Dh
as I listened to myself talking. To my horror, that wasn’t what I screamed. I heard257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoR2TChA2gW
myself scream: “I AM FINE! LET’S JUST GET THIS OVER WITH!”
WHAT? That so not what I wanted to257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJ7n8fsIZP
say. I stared at Evelyn as she asked me what was wrong with me. She explained257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVmvOYD06u
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. Maybe257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlaEuX7yAl
that’s it. Maybe because I didn’t get enough sleep last night, I am hearing257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0SkQMGwea
things.
“Sorry Eve, I didn’t mean anything I257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRftgEdgyC
said.” I apologized. As we continued our search.
We walked away from the study door257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnedl4FAmJ3
again. Then I heard it loud and clear this time.
“GET257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzA2Bx1V074
IN THERE!”.
I was so startled that I sprayed my spray into Evelyn’s eyes out of257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhR9Xf2Apt
shock. I dropped the pepper spray, quite dazed. I started apologizing but257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuvwLFOgi9
stopped in shock. I stared at Evelyn in surprise.
Something is wrong. Very wrong.
Evelyn wasn’t in pain. In fact, she didn’t257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1S86QR2qI
look as though she was in pain at all. Instead, she smiled at me, walked257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yRVP2k61W
towards the study door, and opened it.
“Evelyn, are you ok?” I asked as the257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuU4lhmjdEP
fear and shock I felt made my leg quiver.
“Yes, I am! Fiona. She wants us to257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrGybuJC9E
search the study!” she replied in a hypnotic way and with a horrific smile.
“Who?” I stammered as I looked257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26d0d03iAb
around in fear. Everything about this house is just off.
"The257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FloD49keb
girl." Eve replied impatiently. Still with that weird smile on her face. Then she257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNheEI6VArd
added, “The girl that always tells us what to do.”
Then she disappeared into the room.
