Our lives changed with just375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29FlqArTMm
the sound of a gunshot.
One night, one gunshot, one dead body375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULuALZ9TJN
discovered the next morning.
That was how my best friends and I got tangled375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgx4rhAzuqf
up in a murder mystery that changed not just our summer plans, but our entire375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSl4x7Pvwo
lives.
Here I am right now, sitting in my bedroom and375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfE5mSalW7Z
looking impatiently at the time waiting the doorbell to ring. Evelyn and I had375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAKHKKOAUa
to search the Smith’s mansion for a clue. This is our third search since the375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66uPFH1OxD
murder. The second search left a sour taste in our mouth. Iris, one of our best375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNGHhsxw64
friends, was almost killed. She is currently in the hospital in a coma.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiQyeta8Wn
“indefinite” the doctor had said. These words echoed in my head and drove me to375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCdGY63r8I
get to the bottom of this mystery.
7:45am
The doorbell rang.
Finally.
I picked my stuff, ran out of my room, down the375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGxLKmzv5J
stairs and to the door. I flung it open.
“After a million years! We375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2d1TpVTFO
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 and375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0xuUHpjlM
dramatic but, in my defense, my heart was beating like crazy, and I just wanted375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmWRCL5zu1
to get things over with. I was already overthinking things as it was already.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbWD3ki0FZ
All I could think of was the fact that Iris was almost murdered, and her killer375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGTF2QNa10
is running free. Probably camping out at the Smith`s mansion… or in my house. I375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqroNQ6eXnN
don’t know, and I don’t even want to think about anything else but to find the375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45IdkDtdpj
answer. And the answer, is behind those huge thick doors of the smith`s house.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7QkEKyvYD
And today, I hope to uncover it.
Those doors…. quite like that of the375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cbFlmGq9i
entrance to hell. All these years, I had never seen the house as such a scarred375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eGuGE4wha
monument. But at the beginning of summer break, things changed. LOADS of375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCk1VY4Io0
things. And I must deal with these changes.
Evelyn stepped in front of me and dropped375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMPR5LWBqN
the duffel bag on the dusty porch.
“Ready when you are!” she announced375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjfuEjhNIX
as she dropped to her knees and unzipped the bag.
“Ready!” I replied. For some odd375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wHRHo9dMT
reasons, that word was so difficult for me to say. It seemed like the weirdest375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡah2CxXgXy4
thing to admit. Who in their right senses would be born ready to go exploring375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsGYj9CSOX
an abandoned house where a murder was committed, where her best friend was375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEK3kjAAegs
almost killed, and most importantly, where a potential killer is hiding.
“Done!’ Evelyn announced as she375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21GXrsE79v
straightened up and pushed the door opened just a crack.
“Wait!” I demanded, preventing her375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9QzRVcSVJ
from going in. “We should know that as we are walking into this place, we might375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95X5MW8dcf
be the next target.”
“Yeah, I know. And we should be very375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb83EF0Xq2V
careful.”
“Very! You have your backup375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2xrtj7PSa
flashlights, right?”
“Never go anywhere without them!”
We laughed nervously. Evelyn then gave me375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFk9DT8T0Yq
a reassuring nod, then pushed the door open. Taking a huge breath, we walked375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk71YvNkKs9
into our very own doom.
The house greeted us with the usual375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6oxT8oupR
dust. We went around the house. Our circle375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0RQ6iC3c3
of white light from our torch, followed us on our journey. I clutched my pepper375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoeS2XdouS
spray tight in my other hand with my heart beating like crazy. Everything seemed375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtld4ZX3Ya
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. I375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprPzQsSU6n
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 to375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYRtn5slGJ
go into the study. I tried shaking of the strange feeling and walking away, but375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Z6SUCCNPT
I felt myself being dragged to the door.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUW0SyKVGa
NO… Not dragged. I was WALKING! Even375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zzPSRiDCM
though I didn’t want to go, I saw myself walking towards the study.
Fear gripped my whole being. I375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGp3PJYsvpw
heard Evelyn`s voice ask if I was ok.
“OF COURSE NOT!” I screamed. “I can375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HjxOVyaTS
hear my own voice in my head telling me to do what I don’t want to.”
Adrenaline flowed through my veins375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3bjCpFtzy
as I listened to myself talking. To my horror, that wasn’t what I screamed. I heard375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYPjWgc2RQ
myself scream: “I AM FINE! LET’S JUST GET THIS OVER WITH!”
WHAT? That so not what I wanted to375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJeoZPi8U3
say. I stared at Evelyn as she asked me what was wrong with me. She explained375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7wpyU6Kye
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. Maybe375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7weNzPlHK
that’s it. Maybe because I didn’t get enough sleep last night, I am hearing375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepMS2bRwDy
things.
“Sorry Eve, I didn’t mean anything I375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwxXpz7v0v
said.” I apologized. As we continued our search.
We walked away from the study door375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlEChXJUup
again. Then I heard it loud and clear this time.
“GET375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7COrm0SucM
IN THERE!”.
I was so startled that I sprayed my spray into Evelyn’s eyes out of375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpm6a3TyIw
shock. I dropped the pepper spray, quite dazed. I started apologizing but375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXGPYXm5E1
stopped in shock. I stared at Evelyn in surprise.
Something is wrong. Very wrong.
Evelyn wasn’t in pain. In fact, she didn’t375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM19PYFM4eP
look as though she was in pain at all. Instead, she smiled at me, walked375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokq9jC1aXo
towards the study door, and opened it.
“Evelyn, are you ok?” I asked as the375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Xqdz3GRWZ
fear and shock I felt made my leg quiver.
“Yes, I am! Fiona. She wants us to375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wB3KzASue
search the study!” she replied in a hypnotic way and with a horrific smile.
“Who?” I stammered as I looked375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7A3Bysvk4
around in fear. Everything about this house is just off.
"The375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaXyxZuwqL
girl." Eve replied impatiently. Still with that weird smile on her face. Then she375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6zLFz1HCs
added, “The girl that always tells us what to do.”
Then she disappeared into the room.
