Our lives changed with just335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLrd47tOwZ
the sound of a gunshot.
One night, one gunshot, one dead body335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyoMn2iZ4C
discovered the next morning.
That was how my best friends and I got tangled335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcMxiqpkAe
up in a murder mystery that changed not just our summer plans, but our entire335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBDuhdfVO5
lives.
Here I am right now, sitting in my bedroom and335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOwAZyUUJ5
looking impatiently at the time waiting the doorbell to ring. Evelyn and I had335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3X5TbIlzY
to search the Smith’s mansion for a clue. This is our third search since the335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeMnqh4ot0
murder. The second search left a sour taste in our mouth. Iris, one of our best335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tx3KYuXTd
friends, was almost killed. She is currently in the hospital in a coma.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAycGehLuu
“indefinite” the doctor had said. These words echoed in my head and drove me to335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoYU7rNPnu
get to the bottom of this mystery.
7:45am
The doorbell rang.
Finally.
I picked my stuff, ran out of my room, down the335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbfWBPyLHP
stairs and to the door. I flung it open.
“After a million years! We335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfN5aPMVwlk
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 and335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUCmsHzPYv
dramatic but, in my defense, my heart was beating like crazy, and I just wanted335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMdAJDus19
to get things over with. I was already overthinking things as it was already.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hOLSbzUXS
All I could think of was the fact that Iris was almost murdered, and her killer335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBbMi2lFOm
is running free. Probably camping out at the Smith`s mansion… or in my house. I335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6d1c24usyC
don’t know, and I don’t even want to think about anything else but to find the335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlD3wjM8pe
answer. And the answer, is behind those huge thick doors of the smith`s house.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFROwd2C2Qi
And today, I hope to uncover it.
Those doors…. quite like that of the335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1APT10SWL
entrance to hell. All these years, I had never seen the house as such a scarred335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgCzNJbkvp
monument. But at the beginning of summer break, things changed. LOADS of335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyRbrtEBzo
things. And I must deal with these changes.
Evelyn stepped in front of me and dropped335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgcqHWQw1M
the duffel bag on the dusty porch.
“Ready when you are!” she announced335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcLNRAUVpg
as she dropped to her knees and unzipped the bag.
“Ready!” I replied. For some odd335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhf8U8CMkz
reasons, that word was so difficult for me to say. It seemed like the weirdest335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6y5cl1jO3E
thing to admit. Who in their right senses would be born ready to go exploring335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWcjS2gptv
an abandoned house where a murder was committed, where her best friend was335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUb2mJX9lj
almost killed, and most importantly, where a potential killer is hiding.
“Done!’ Evelyn announced as she335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZKK2bfZHJ
straightened up and pushed the door opened just a crack.
“Wait!” I demanded, preventing her335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj00eBDsnwS
from going in. “We should know that as we are walking into this place, we might335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Bi4fhkj2V
be the next target.”
“Yeah, I know. And we should be very335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WYTQL0SLb
careful.”
“Very! You have your backup335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmZBEmKV26
flashlights, right?”
“Never go anywhere without them!”
We laughed nervously. Evelyn then gave me335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBCtJNVtgc
a reassuring nod, then pushed the door open. Taking a huge breath, we walked335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBLEwDNQpd
into our very own doom.
The house greeted us with the usual335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzyFFWUfCk
dust. We went around the house. Our circle335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxndnDe7EP
of white light from our torch, followed us on our journey. I clutched my pepper335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3y7OaKM9Pq
spray tight in my other hand with my heart beating like crazy. Everything seemed335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ37t0e3FXa
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. I335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKe9GUxtFp
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 to335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyEsCC8f3j
go into the study. I tried shaking of the strange feeling and walking away, but335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqKLCuurJf
I felt myself being dragged to the door.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Z6njZqTnF
NO… Not dragged. I was WALKING! Even335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeWehcWKLr
though I didn’t want to go, I saw myself walking towards the study.
Fear gripped my whole being. I335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeMtQWkF7B
heard Evelyn`s voice ask if I was ok.
“OF COURSE NOT!” I screamed. “I can335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadhYDjXBNL
hear my own voice in my head telling me to do what I don’t want to.”
Adrenaline flowed through my veins335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTbsCbsyCj
as I listened to myself talking. To my horror, that wasn’t what I screamed. I heard335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvUWJcpUCv
myself scream: “I AM FINE! LET’S JUST GET THIS OVER WITH!”
WHAT? That so not what I wanted to335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtgGsMJxHN
say. I stared at Evelyn as she asked me what was wrong with me. She explained335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6O79ogz4fJ
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. Maybe335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1yr1mK5hN
that’s it. Maybe because I didn’t get enough sleep last night, I am hearing335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFONH2bE1R
things.
“Sorry Eve, I didn’t mean anything I335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTj4fXz5W5M
said.” I apologized. As we continued our search.
We walked away from the study door335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbRB8c25nO
again. Then I heard it loud and clear this time.
“GET335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlGZIMV2gA
IN THERE!”.
I was so startled that I sprayed my spray into Evelyn’s eyes out of335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyI03jm8PN
shock. I dropped the pepper spray, quite dazed. I started apologizing but335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEMH2SGdNr
stopped in shock. I stared at Evelyn in surprise.
Something is wrong. Very wrong.
Evelyn wasn’t in pain. In fact, she didn’t335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ShxpDVpSl
look as though she was in pain at all. Instead, she smiled at me, walked335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDgBgSAXff
towards the study door, and opened it.
“Evelyn, are you ok?” I asked as the335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡta9hsFaRmK
fear and shock I felt made my leg quiver.
“Yes, I am! Fiona. She wants us to335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCD8UD1AVp
search the study!” she replied in a hypnotic way and with a horrific smile.
“Who?” I stammered as I looked335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0mIOzQVnL
around in fear. Everything about this house is just off.
"The335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7AvLsGOmA
girl." Eve replied impatiently. Still with that weird smile on her face. Then she335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSWCMzfN0D
added, “The girl that always tells us what to do.”
Then she disappeared into the room.
