Our lives changed with just330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oP0YJX1cV
the sound of a gunshot.
One night, one gunshot, one dead body330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzWM5e0Zms
discovered the next morning.
That was how my best friends and I got tangled330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxe1WeLou2
up in a murder mystery that changed not just our summer plans, but our entire330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2YKnvqqLQ
lives.
Here I am right now, sitting in my bedroom and330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWYttqUPyU
looking impatiently at the time waiting the doorbell to ring. Evelyn and I had330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKykp5r12tq
to search the Smith’s mansion for a clue. This is our third search since the330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmIJM4YFgz
murder. The second search left a sour taste in our mouth. Iris, one of our best330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZeUOmMenX
friends, was almost killed. She is currently in the hospital in a coma.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12GXHqlH2T
“indefinite” the doctor had said. These words echoed in my head and drove me to330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqekvfhCv8
get to the bottom of this mystery.
7:45am
The doorbell rang.
Finally.
I picked my stuff, ran out of my room, down the330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCl0Syml8CL
stairs and to the door. I flung it open.
“After a million years! We330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeoOW6boJr
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 and330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlofEE2QAHY
dramatic but, in my defense, my heart was beating like crazy, and I just wanted330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqs3tetMVlv
to get things over with. I was already overthinking things as it was already.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDT1eYxvfu6
All I could think of was the fact that Iris was almost murdered, and her killer330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXByF8jZVwD
is running free. Probably camping out at the Smith`s mansion… or in my house. I330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshwkh78gtv
don’t know, and I don’t even want to think about anything else but to find the330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIeEo0v6kF
answer. And the answer, is behind those huge thick doors of the smith`s house.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdm9E1oqxNh
And today, I hope to uncover it.
Those doors…. quite like that of the330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ964CwNhYTF
entrance to hell. All these years, I had never seen the house as such a scarred330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfFUyCzck2
monument. But at the beginning of summer break, things changed. LOADS of330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Gxhrg8hXO
things. And I must deal with these changes.
Evelyn stepped in front of me and dropped330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRXuh8vBN4
the duffel bag on the dusty porch.
“Ready when you are!” she announced330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NvdTrysLu
as she dropped to her knees and unzipped the bag.
“Ready!” I replied. For some odd330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJdAcqfzAt
reasons, that word was so difficult for me to say. It seemed like the weirdest330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtySX2VvXgu
thing to admit. Who in their right senses would be born ready to go exploring330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZcp09Qxbi
an abandoned house where a murder was committed, where her best friend was330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILNBYlS8ti
almost killed, and most importantly, where a potential killer is hiding.
“Done!’ Evelyn announced as she330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dQdqjEca1
straightened up and pushed the door opened just a crack.
“Wait!” I demanded, preventing her330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPysnftu8BP
from going in. “We should know that as we are walking into this place, we might330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOO91QFFhuC
be the next target.”
“Yeah, I know. And we should be very330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhmDZQ9Ll4
careful.”
“Very! You have your backup330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdKV2meits
flashlights, right?”
“Never go anywhere without them!”
We laughed nervously. Evelyn then gave me330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3lJKMQgiT
a reassuring nod, then pushed the door open. Taking a huge breath, we walked330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AigaSS4C3
into our very own doom.
The house greeted us with the usual330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7TuDWF1Tp
dust. We went around the house. Our circle330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecsRpCHtzF
of white light from our torch, followed us on our journey. I clutched my pepper330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlwSGM452B
spray tight in my other hand with my heart beating like crazy. Everything seemed330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAw3gCEGzSr
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. I330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxqEFBtU71
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 to330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VdbEi6Cem
go into the study. I tried shaking of the strange feeling and walking away, but330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIDud6TlNt
I felt myself being dragged to the door.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4diPbp00r
NO… Not dragged. I was WALKING! Even330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxugnlkt8fh
though I didn’t want to go, I saw myself walking towards the study.
Fear gripped my whole being. I330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfBpoNTbkO
heard Evelyn`s voice ask if I was ok.
“OF COURSE NOT!” I screamed. “I can330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtwUDBnnLw
hear my own voice in my head telling me to do what I don’t want to.”
Adrenaline flowed through my veins330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9cb5C741K
as I listened to myself talking. To my horror, that wasn’t what I screamed. I heard330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSC2zNPSV0
myself scream: “I AM FINE! LET’S JUST GET THIS OVER WITH!”
WHAT? That so not what I wanted to330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuwLUC6GJb
say. I stared at Evelyn as she asked me what was wrong with me. She explained330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7iKJPWpXP
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. Maybe330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXs5I7kOlk
that’s it. Maybe because I didn’t get enough sleep last night, I am hearing330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ308SjEds3E
things.
“Sorry Eve, I didn’t mean anything I330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafhABnRw1Q
said.” I apologized. As we continued our search.
We walked away from the study door330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ql1YdzJET
again. Then I heard it loud and clear this time.
“GET330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksNbNjsH34
IN THERE!”.
I was so startled that I sprayed my spray into Evelyn’s eyes out of330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqsNhWgChj
shock. I dropped the pepper spray, quite dazed. I started apologizing but330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpKNn3mnYs
stopped in shock. I stared at Evelyn in surprise.
Something is wrong. Very wrong.
Evelyn wasn’t in pain. In fact, she didn’t330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6sv0WHWlb
look as though she was in pain at all. Instead, she smiled at me, walked330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2Lgq30om0
towards the study door, and opened it.
“Evelyn, are you ok?” I asked as the330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡal1BgOmKXC
fear and shock I felt made my leg quiver.
“Yes, I am! Fiona. She wants us to330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxNik8d000
search the study!” she replied in a hypnotic way and with a horrific smile.
“Who?” I stammered as I looked330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAZrSRuoRc
around in fear. Everything about this house is just off.
"The330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1QMmMKHtA
girl." Eve replied impatiently. Still with that weird smile on her face. Then she330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciMTlZPzkH
added, “The girl that always tells us what to do.”
Then she disappeared into the room.
