Our lives changed with just333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZB9zAZxFj
the sound of a gunshot.
One night, one gunshot, one dead body333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBkzQOdZp5
discovered the next morning.
That was how my best friends and I got tangled333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuOe5rh4mI
up in a murder mystery that changed not just our summer plans, but our entire333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rg9DHvzBc
lives.
Here I am right now, sitting in my bedroom and333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPXzHrskyB
looking impatiently at the time waiting the doorbell to ring. Evelyn and I had333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTVSAjShxZ
to search the Smith’s mansion for a clue. This is our third search since the333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnHdxJ6pUX
murder. The second search left a sour taste in our mouth. Iris, one of our best333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4liqn1vfc
friends, was almost killed. She is currently in the hospital in a coma.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMN9DLYtz6z
“indefinite” the doctor had said. These words echoed in my head and drove me to333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVZ7wg7VKC
get to the bottom of this mystery.
7:45am
The doorbell rang.
Finally.
I picked my stuff, ran out of my room, down the333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTdZARrd8o
stairs and to the door. I flung it open.
“After a million years! We333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuCCk8YlBx
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 and333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuE6HPcURq
dramatic but, in my defense, my heart was beating like crazy, and I just wanted333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8MylzZaf6
to get things over with. I was already overthinking things as it was already.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWy9kZW15Y
All I could think of was the fact that Iris was almost murdered, and her killer333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgywzuHuQi
is running free. Probably camping out at the Smith`s mansion… or in my house. I333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHo61FdAL2
don’t know, and I don’t even want to think about anything else but to find the333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQp0AKBYmAT
answer. And the answer, is behind those huge thick doors of the smith`s house.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHX5C3wQhD
And today, I hope to uncover it.
Those doors…. quite like that of the333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAR5D4Qg4wK
entrance to hell. All these years, I had never seen the house as such a scarred333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSoAvJ0K64
monument. But at the beginning of summer break, things changed. LOADS of333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8quUt2jRim
things. And I must deal with these changes.
Evelyn stepped in front of me and dropped333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeioXR0ptP
the duffel bag on the dusty porch.
“Ready when you are!” she announced333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0Klrj1bEt
as she dropped to her knees and unzipped the bag.
“Ready!” I replied. For some odd333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kUvcv3Iyw
reasons, that word was so difficult for me to say. It seemed like the weirdest333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGShts2De1
thing to admit. Who in their right senses would be born ready to go exploring333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX17PPZexAK
an abandoned house where a murder was committed, where her best friend was333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrt9p5KLke
almost killed, and most importantly, where a potential killer is hiding.
“Done!’ Evelyn announced as she333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwh4Ynp8IK8
straightened up and pushed the door opened just a crack.
“Wait!” I demanded, preventing her333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IT9TjHfVr
from going in. “We should know that as we are walking into this place, we might333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5Cd325OrU
be the next target.”
“Yeah, I know. And we should be very333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG53P53PDcM
careful.”
“Very! You have your backup333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4dTiUxWXt
flashlights, right?”
“Never go anywhere without them!”
We laughed nervously. Evelyn then gave me333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHk8VgSRU4
a reassuring nod, then pushed the door open. Taking a huge breath, we walked333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZEfsRTPpG
into our very own doom.
The house greeted us with the usual333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlduZioNrw
dust. We went around the house. Our circle333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KE0ek3aGB
of white light from our torch, followed us on our journey. I clutched my pepper333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNUbDU9ekB
spray tight in my other hand with my heart beating like crazy. Everything seemed333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqWaXN9YQD
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. I333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINOaM1sSdP
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 to333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zazYVBCFP
go into the study. I tried shaking of the strange feeling and walking away, but333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3x25qe64c4
I felt myself being dragged to the door.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTSyzqZsua
NO… Not dragged. I was WALKING! Even333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOJrn3KxI8
though I didn’t want to go, I saw myself walking towards the study.
Fear gripped my whole being. I333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXdv0hWLTT
heard Evelyn`s voice ask if I was ok.
“OF COURSE NOT!” I screamed. “I can333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xTjqDICaU
hear my own voice in my head telling me to do what I don’t want to.”
Adrenaline flowed through my veins333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRbiVcHB3U
as I listened to myself talking. To my horror, that wasn’t what I screamed. I heard333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgez8HC5yb
myself scream: “I AM FINE! LET’S JUST GET THIS OVER WITH!”
WHAT? That so not what I wanted to333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJyDWPoNkW
say. I stared at Evelyn as she asked me what was wrong with me. She explained333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPCXMcQE1R
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. Maybe333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQ1zDF9Nkh
that’s it. Maybe because I didn’t get enough sleep last night, I am hearing333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEj1pPdAYxV
things.
“Sorry Eve, I didn’t mean anything I333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpuTIQjX7P
said.” I apologized. As we continued our search.
We walked away from the study door333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IkMRWdJw1
again. Then I heard it loud and clear this time.
“GET333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIDluHcUDH
IN THERE!”.
I was so startled that I sprayed my spray into Evelyn’s eyes out of333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZDLCBquiN
shock. I dropped the pepper spray, quite dazed. I started apologizing but333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtft9z0pAp
stopped in shock. I stared at Evelyn in surprise.
Something is wrong. Very wrong.
Evelyn wasn’t in pain. In fact, she didn’t333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMFodVJnH3
look as though she was in pain at all. Instead, she smiled at me, walked333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIgYF4j9Gf
towards the study door, and opened it.
“Evelyn, are you ok?” I asked as the333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlGOxGBGhA
fear and shock I felt made my leg quiver.
“Yes, I am! Fiona. She wants us to333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhETXDUDU4c
search the study!” she replied in a hypnotic way and with a horrific smile.
“Who?” I stammered as I looked333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6nq4Vkx1a
around in fear. Everything about this house is just off.
"The333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHzdwwZaTJ
girl." Eve replied impatiently. Still with that weird smile on her face. Then she333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OB2SnnpdT
added, “The girl that always tells us what to do.”
Then she disappeared into the room.
