Our lives changed with just285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzZ7GMyhFm
the sound of a gunshot.
One night, one gunshot, one dead body285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAu10Egu70O
discovered the next morning.
That was how my best friends and I got tangled285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPN1cxXzb3S
up in a murder mystery that changed not just our summer plans, but our entire285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouC4UQ5Zu8
lives.
Here I am right now, sitting in my bedroom and285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5haj9c3NG
looking impatiently at the time waiting the doorbell to ring. Evelyn and I had285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8JxcVYjf4
to search the Smith’s mansion for a clue. This is our third search since the285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR03T5YAAbe
murder. The second search left a sour taste in our mouth. Iris, one of our best285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UHkeRYnCl
friends, was almost killed. She is currently in the hospital in a coma.285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdq0a4DQY8
“indefinite” the doctor had said. These words echoed in my head and drove me to285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSS0Mf2x8Lf
get to the bottom of this mystery.
7:45am
The doorbell rang.
Finally.
I picked my stuff, ran out of my room, down the285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUtlYSPT4o
stairs and to the door. I flung it open.
“After a million years! We285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabgAHG2GPJ
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 and285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGlhwQDTdG
dramatic but, in my defense, my heart was beating like crazy, and I just wanted285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SHJ347FSN
to get things over with. I was already overthinking things as it was already.285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfpDX91HpX
All I could think of was the fact that Iris was almost murdered, and her killer285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1eF4DY9Ol
is running free. Probably camping out at the Smith`s mansion… or in my house. I285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhvehQlzI1
don’t know, and I don’t even want to think about anything else but to find the285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUWBeZSCJU
answer. And the answer, is behind those huge thick doors of the smith`s house.285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5JVzYHHb3
And today, I hope to uncover it.
Those doors…. quite like that of the285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOR8hX4FDp
entrance to hell. All these years, I had never seen the house as such a scarred285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVcfIF9ly0
monument. But at the beginning of summer break, things changed. LOADS of285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHvUOSUquW
things. And I must deal with these changes.
Evelyn stepped in front of me and dropped285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JGcSk36wJ
the duffel bag on the dusty porch.
“Ready when you are!” she announced285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPhVUjTfy4
as she dropped to her knees and unzipped the bag.
“Ready!” I replied. For some odd285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTg6bWVbznD
reasons, that word was so difficult for me to say. It seemed like the weirdest285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupbQKVDeuX
thing to admit. Who in their right senses would be born ready to go exploring285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosfJ3oQBtq
an abandoned house where a murder was committed, where her best friend was285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXIvKkBn9s
almost killed, and most importantly, where a potential killer is hiding.
“Done!’ Evelyn announced as she285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwy8foLBot
straightened up and pushed the door opened just a crack.
“Wait!” I demanded, preventing her285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fWEQCvJOS
from going in. “We should know that as we are walking into this place, we might285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0JgzkO69k
be the next target.”
“Yeah, I know. And we should be very285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczs0qFiOSV
careful.”
“Very! You have your backup285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfafrw0wkZ
flashlights, right?”
“Never go anywhere without them!”
We laughed nervously. Evelyn then gave me285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUQnVtCGoe
a reassuring nod, then pushed the door open. Taking a huge breath, we walked285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WWUIYOxxq
into our very own doom.
The house greeted us with the usual285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmRe3QgR5S
dust. We went around the house. Our circle285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggek8ovf0p
of white light from our torch, followed us on our journey. I clutched my pepper285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxXUUkzPwC
spray tight in my other hand with my heart beating like crazy. Everything seemed285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXmiXbB6Tj
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. I285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xAmP3sk2q
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 to285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglY66yisSD
go into the study. I tried shaking of the strange feeling and walking away, but285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8NYQLY3yt
I felt myself being dragged to the door.285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fTPEPpHG6
NO… Not dragged. I was WALKING! Even285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSFxVIBlxi
though I didn’t want to go, I saw myself walking towards the study.
Fear gripped my whole being. I285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ofNiXl7Ki
heard Evelyn`s voice ask if I was ok.
“OF COURSE NOT!” I screamed. “I can285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUR0Ns20S4Z
hear my own voice in my head telling me to do what I don’t want to.”
Adrenaline flowed through my veins285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLiXujpurL
as I listened to myself talking. To my horror, that wasn’t what I screamed. I heard285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtM5CddLFB
myself scream: “I AM FINE! LET’S JUST GET THIS OVER WITH!”
WHAT? That so not what I wanted to285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHglMc4bwt
say. I stared at Evelyn as she asked me what was wrong with me. She explained285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAQydFPdzH
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. Maybe285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡya360YQY3p
that’s it. Maybe because I didn’t get enough sleep last night, I am hearing285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZ6eruuZG8
things.
“Sorry Eve, I didn’t mean anything I285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYvyLopDH6
said.” I apologized. As we continued our search.
We walked away from the study door285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BNa1tEvXZ
again. Then I heard it loud and clear this time.
“GET285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGNHd9AMNq
IN THERE!”.
I was so startled that I sprayed my spray into Evelyn’s eyes out of285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8VoUXXGCo
shock. I dropped the pepper spray, quite dazed. I started apologizing but285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZrV8SVVmh
stopped in shock. I stared at Evelyn in surprise.
Something is wrong. Very wrong.
Evelyn wasn’t in pain. In fact, she didn’t285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkdZn0xOdh
look as though she was in pain at all. Instead, she smiled at me, walked285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfHX9W2wgC
towards the study door, and opened it.
“Evelyn, are you ok?” I asked as the285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomrJedJJTr
fear and shock I felt made my leg quiver.
“Yes, I am! Fiona. She wants us to285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5PsA5UDhx
search the study!” she replied in a hypnotic way and with a horrific smile.
“Who?” I stammered as I looked285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZO3KpbZT1
around in fear. Everything about this house is just off.
"The285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCtR64mk96
girl." Eve replied impatiently. Still with that weird smile on her face. Then she285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKZC4meNY4
added, “The girl that always tells us what to do.”
Then she disappeared into the room.
