Our lives changed with just350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHJPk8DF5e
the sound of a gunshot.
One night, one gunshot, one dead body350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquw67RbLMX
discovered the next morning.
That was how my best friends and I got tangled350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHaiSLC6W8
up in a murder mystery that changed not just our summer plans, but our entire350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshz2FkGpdN
lives.
Here I am right now, sitting in my bedroom and350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2mRY9s7P7
looking impatiently at the time waiting the doorbell to ring. Evelyn and I had350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZBFgwwbuU
to search the Smith’s mansion for a clue. This is our third search since the350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGlk0DPTkn
murder. The second search left a sour taste in our mouth. Iris, one of our best350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPGhDda6g1
friends, was almost killed. She is currently in the hospital in a coma.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2QHV0kyvt
“indefinite” the doctor had said. These words echoed in my head and drove me to350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFYqe9yAmW
get to the bottom of this mystery.
7:45am
The doorbell rang.
Finally.
I picked my stuff, ran out of my room, down the350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrVgQ3cY1H
stairs and to the door. I flung it open.
“After a million years! We350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PcSOp89tB
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 and350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4rQBVI3TX
dramatic but, in my defense, my heart was beating like crazy, and I just wanted350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Shlchu7ri
to get things over with. I was already overthinking things as it was already.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBFntpp355
All I could think of was the fact that Iris was almost murdered, and her killer350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqOKD937Ta
is running free. Probably camping out at the Smith`s mansion… or in my house. I350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHJRMCLX9g
don’t know, and I don’t even want to think about anything else but to find the350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJGXltOAwN
answer. And the answer, is behind those huge thick doors of the smith`s house.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvnlAICtL3
And today, I hope to uncover it.
Those doors…. quite like that of the350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcyg57tiz3
entrance to hell. All these years, I had never seen the house as such a scarred350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQn6CY04PMF
monument. But at the beginning of summer break, things changed. LOADS of350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20PcIUllbl
things. And I must deal with these changes.
Evelyn stepped in front of me and dropped350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1SS1k2bQw
the duffel bag on the dusty porch.
“Ready when you are!” she announced350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3dIDZPgnI
as she dropped to her knees and unzipped the bag.
“Ready!” I replied. For some odd350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKGY7uEzs6
reasons, that word was so difficult for me to say. It seemed like the weirdest350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVCIyLLAg1
thing to admit. Who in their right senses would be born ready to go exploring350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoE97CyJNNS
an abandoned house where a murder was committed, where her best friend was350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJidW0u379X
almost killed, and most importantly, where a potential killer is hiding.
“Done!’ Evelyn announced as she350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjop13uyGzY
straightened up and pushed the door opened just a crack.
“Wait!” I demanded, preventing her350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYMd1lRQgO
from going in. “We should know that as we are walking into this place, we might350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDDAFBztK3
be the next target.”
“Yeah, I know. And we should be very350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8ONNdd7hc
careful.”
“Very! You have your backup350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwHdrNg684
flashlights, right?”
“Never go anywhere without them!”
We laughed nervously. Evelyn then gave me350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHyDI5kluS
a reassuring nod, then pushed the door open. Taking a huge breath, we walked350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dGzFITrZu
into our very own doom.
The house greeted us with the usual350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡure7vRokQ5
dust. We went around the house. Our circle350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgiutJj8Mt
of white light from our torch, followed us on our journey. I clutched my pepper350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS68QZu5Bzx
spray tight in my other hand with my heart beating like crazy. Everything seemed350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCinvY8Xht
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. I350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxstCAwCZj5
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 to350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG44nEF5RFb
go into the study. I tried shaking of the strange feeling and walking away, but350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVJyYGO8vS
I felt myself being dragged to the door.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnz5YZME5HR
NO… Not dragged. I was WALKING! Even350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOsSZSYjLt
though I didn’t want to go, I saw myself walking towards the study.
Fear gripped my whole being. I350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnvWq22CK9
heard Evelyn`s voice ask if I was ok.
“OF COURSE NOT!” I screamed. “I can350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSEahA77oy
hear my own voice in my head telling me to do what I don’t want to.”
Adrenaline flowed through my veins350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxTRsUdV7N
as I listened to myself talking. To my horror, that wasn’t what I screamed. I heard350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPst0vwJZt
myself scream: “I AM FINE! LET’S JUST GET THIS OVER WITH!”
WHAT? That so not what I wanted to350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qZgQzt3na
say. I stared at Evelyn as she asked me what was wrong with me. She explained350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZNC0KiVnc
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. Maybe350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrX7kIS04nR
that’s it. Maybe because I didn’t get enough sleep last night, I am hearing350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWmktLF0vi
things.
“Sorry Eve, I didn’t mean anything I350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxLWwXeyMn
said.” I apologized. As we continued our search.
We walked away from the study door350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSV8BYA1w6
again. Then I heard it loud and clear this time.
“GET350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQQkz0sDBA
IN THERE!”.
I was so startled that I sprayed my spray into Evelyn’s eyes out of350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyUWzp1CcV
shock. I dropped the pepper spray, quite dazed. I started apologizing but350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLZf9cgo8n
stopped in shock. I stared at Evelyn in surprise.
Something is wrong. Very wrong.
Evelyn wasn’t in pain. In fact, she didn’t350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZyUgwYz4j
look as though she was in pain at all. Instead, she smiled at me, walked350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQfgK4WwM4
towards the study door, and opened it.
“Evelyn, are you ok?” I asked as the350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rSH1ohqxt
fear and shock I felt made my leg quiver.
“Yes, I am! Fiona. She wants us to350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2HXbxzWpF
search the study!” she replied in a hypnotic way and with a horrific smile.
“Who?” I stammered as I looked350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHloHBFqMf
around in fear. Everything about this house is just off.
"The350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqk11HOMhp
girl." Eve replied impatiently. Still with that weird smile on her face. Then she350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbrd28F6OH
added, “The girl that always tells us what to do.”
Then she disappeared into the room.
