Our lives changed with just371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1ffMLryjJ
the sound of a gunshot.
One night, one gunshot, one dead body371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNw0qtstwnZ
discovered the next morning.
That was how my best friends and I got tangled371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCEzQRRfhK
up in a murder mystery that changed not just our summer plans, but our entire371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9DiuY9XAx
lives.
Here I am right now, sitting in my bedroom and371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LZ21hNIW8
looking impatiently at the time waiting the doorbell to ring. Evelyn and I had371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTFh2WJBLA
to search the Smith’s mansion for a clue. This is our third search since the371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiHLHlFxgc
murder. The second search left a sour taste in our mouth. Iris, one of our best371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMopNOYS5I
friends, was almost killed. She is currently in the hospital in a coma.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MOSdZ5pjE
“indefinite” the doctor had said. These words echoed in my head and drove me to371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpmmPJ7Wn9
get to the bottom of this mystery.
7:45am
The doorbell rang.
Finally.
I picked my stuff, ran out of my room, down the371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJktaCqX8p9
stairs and to the door. I flung it open.
“After a million years! We371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKBxx55Nfy
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 and371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTC5fq2HGUK
dramatic but, in my defense, my heart was beating like crazy, and I just wanted371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41itvkttwz
to get things over with. I was already overthinking things as it was already.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTW0ZS4Da71
All I could think of was the fact that Iris was almost murdered, and her killer371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFIqh3NODS
is running free. Probably camping out at the Smith`s mansion… or in my house. I371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdwL5aQFBa
don’t know, and I don’t even want to think about anything else but to find the371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8Ew5AJvN2
answer. And the answer, is behind those huge thick doors of the smith`s house.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc27pByFdit
And today, I hope to uncover it.
Those doors…. quite like that of the371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1ygCscNfR
entrance to hell. All these years, I had never seen the house as such a scarred371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuyU5w10G6
monument. But at the beginning of summer break, things changed. LOADS of371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQsz1Kb5xQ
things. And I must deal with these changes.
Evelyn stepped in front of me and dropped371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuXjobaMn8
the duffel bag on the dusty porch.
“Ready when you are!” she announced371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQ2m9J1jDv
as she dropped to her knees and unzipped the bag.
“Ready!” I replied. For some odd371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojQnfkvil6
reasons, that word was so difficult for me to say. It seemed like the weirdest371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjALaILMuOZ
thing to admit. Who in their right senses would be born ready to go exploring371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktlqhdCFNd
an abandoned house where a murder was committed, where her best friend was371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7wf1RxnI6
almost killed, and most importantly, where a potential killer is hiding.
“Done!’ Evelyn announced as she371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXlbyzMEuj
straightened up and pushed the door opened just a crack.
“Wait!” I demanded, preventing her371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgwMcNndA0
from going in. “We should know that as we are walking into this place, we might371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4pxZCTAeJ
be the next target.”
“Yeah, I know. And we should be very371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JMpELPtdL
careful.”
“Very! You have your backup371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJZxDQVwtH
flashlights, right?”
“Never go anywhere without them!”
We laughed nervously. Evelyn then gave me371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyHjkJH62D
a reassuring nod, then pushed the door open. Taking a huge breath, we walked371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyaNsNAZn0
into our very own doom.
The house greeted us with the usual371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7Pm3mdoSf
dust. We went around the house. Our circle371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuBBXsEoUx
of white light from our torch, followed us on our journey. I clutched my pepper371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QajRnluVN
spray tight in my other hand with my heart beating like crazy. Everything seemed371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6JZvT9wAx
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. I371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgMmyfam0A
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 to371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6vtxF1YMK
go into the study. I tried shaking of the strange feeling and walking away, but371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0m5oJzCut
I felt myself being dragged to the door.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfkAyjDbBe
NO… Not dragged. I was WALKING! Even371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEK6N6Qlnkr
though I didn’t want to go, I saw myself walking towards the study.
Fear gripped my whole being. I371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRiO1uNzCH
heard Evelyn`s voice ask if I was ok.
“OF COURSE NOT!” I screamed. “I can371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DSWSIVOzo
hear my own voice in my head telling me to do what I don’t want to.”
Adrenaline flowed through my veins371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4rMHXJGNR
as I listened to myself talking. To my horror, that wasn’t what I screamed. I heard371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSn5330DKy5
myself scream: “I AM FINE! LET’S JUST GET THIS OVER WITH!”
WHAT? That so not what I wanted to371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBmUhUgVkj
say. I stared at Evelyn as she asked me what was wrong with me. She explained371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9kgWtlXiu
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. Maybe371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQNWC5lnsT
that’s it. Maybe because I didn’t get enough sleep last night, I am hearing371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63DMciSViC
things.
“Sorry Eve, I didn’t mean anything I371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiVSuwM3xB
said.” I apologized. As we continued our search.
We walked away from the study door371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNaQz5NN9K
again. Then I heard it loud and clear this time.
“GET371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oGzBgF5w5
IN THERE!”.
I was so startled that I sprayed my spray into Evelyn’s eyes out of371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryGAHpzY7z
shock. I dropped the pepper spray, quite dazed. I started apologizing but371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJ1YUxadW8
stopped in shock. I stared at Evelyn in surprise.
Something is wrong. Very wrong.
Evelyn wasn’t in pain. In fact, she didn’t371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxlOs559ES
look as though she was in pain at all. Instead, she smiled at me, walked371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdv8zQVvFG
towards the study door, and opened it.
“Evelyn, are you ok?” I asked as the371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyX53P0Jkf
fear and shock I felt made my leg quiver.
“Yes, I am! Fiona. She wants us to371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3ee1DilY9
search the study!” she replied in a hypnotic way and with a horrific smile.
“Who?” I stammered as I looked371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdbj7isiCF
around in fear. Everything about this house is just off.
"The371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2MYueRKPv
girl." Eve replied impatiently. Still with that weird smile on her face. Then she371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DikMqgKGN
added, “The girl that always tells us what to do.”
Then she disappeared into the room.
