Our lives changed with just453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBp74bPhp4
the sound of a gunshot.
One night, one gunshot, one dead body453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVhKF2ZdZX
discovered the next morning.
That was how my best friends and I got tangled453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQyqdqSC5v
up in a murder mystery that changed not just our summer plans, but our entire453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBJXMNX2yg
lives.
Here I am right now, sitting in my bedroom and453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQyUEuiNnA
looking impatiently at the time waiting the doorbell to ring. Evelyn and I had453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqb8I1ZLCB
to search the Smith’s mansion for a clue. This is our third search since the453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosRyXeskwV
murder. The second search left a sour taste in our mouth. Iris, one of our best453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDXNIpiB6l
friends, was almost killed. She is currently in the hospital in a coma.453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIMtHwomII
“indefinite” the doctor had said. These words echoed in my head and drove me to453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fcDDsWoaT
get to the bottom of this mystery.
7:45am
The doorbell rang.
Finally.
I picked my stuff, ran out of my room, down the453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWcPli3ld7
stairs and to the door. I flung it open.
“After a million years! We453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnllollwIRw
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 and453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5qDJ84hX3
dramatic but, in my defense, my heart was beating like crazy, and I just wanted453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OYAKno1tz
to get things over with. I was already overthinking things as it was already.453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7qyk6vYkA
All I could think of was the fact that Iris was almost murdered, and her killer453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawgbIMpxNO
is running free. Probably camping out at the Smith`s mansion… or in my house. I453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53W1XFxlAG
don’t know, and I don’t even want to think about anything else but to find the453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVgDUt7Bz2
answer. And the answer, is behind those huge thick doors of the smith`s house.453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKffRD9BlBP
And today, I hope to uncover it.
Those doors…. quite like that of the453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZH2VGDu9LT
entrance to hell. All these years, I had never seen the house as such a scarred453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsvqBjcYj9
monument. But at the beginning of summer break, things changed. LOADS of453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPm4VySPTmb
things. And I must deal with these changes.
Evelyn stepped in front of me and dropped453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLisYvomZQL
the duffel bag on the dusty porch.
“Ready when you are!” she announced453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYAnsaJU4e
as she dropped to her knees and unzipped the bag.
“Ready!” I replied. For some odd453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDaAQB9q7W
reasons, that word was so difficult for me to say. It seemed like the weirdest453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjHqA7sBkz
thing to admit. Who in their right senses would be born ready to go exploring453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNH2yN5iEqe
an abandoned house where a murder was committed, where her best friend was453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkKRFmbDKb
almost killed, and most importantly, where a potential killer is hiding.
“Done!’ Evelyn announced as she453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLy7RdOtANW
straightened up and pushed the door opened just a crack.
“Wait!” I demanded, preventing her453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIK1mYcoz6
from going in. “We should know that as we are walking into this place, we might453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7EMDuN2yb
be the next target.”
“Yeah, I know. And we should be very453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEv1C4deiBd
careful.”
“Very! You have your backup453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRc6R25ucy
flashlights, right?”
“Never go anywhere without them!”
We laughed nervously. Evelyn then gave me453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGAIJWa62I
a reassuring nod, then pushed the door open. Taking a huge breath, we walked453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hutO95DwB
into our very own doom.
The house greeted us with the usual453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy29eqeeaBo
dust. We went around the house. Our circle453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyahohdgSyI
of white light from our torch, followed us on our journey. I clutched my pepper453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6Y5spTUFX
spray tight in my other hand with my heart beating like crazy. Everything seemed453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFb6ThuBPmG
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. I453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGT3D8ryE3
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 to453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFxl630CpD
go into the study. I tried shaking of the strange feeling and walking away, but453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzEdmszbnm
I felt myself being dragged to the door.453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7de0veRXyQ
NO… Not dragged. I was WALKING! Even453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZ10GPnTPr
though I didn’t want to go, I saw myself walking towards the study.
Fear gripped my whole being. I453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jPXCW3zKp
heard Evelyn`s voice ask if I was ok.
“OF COURSE NOT!” I screamed. “I can453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSR7j7oy0CU
hear my own voice in my head telling me to do what I don’t want to.”
Adrenaline flowed through my veins453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYBuH8HyW7
as I listened to myself talking. To my horror, that wasn’t what I screamed. I heard453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyXDhRQ7nu
myself scream: “I AM FINE! LET’S JUST GET THIS OVER WITH!”
WHAT? That so not what I wanted to453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gsIHP08eK
say. I stared at Evelyn as she asked me what was wrong with me. She explained453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMxhVcQ2Wu
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. Maybe453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzXV2blH9o
that’s it. Maybe because I didn’t get enough sleep last night, I am hearing453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fDOLI6JAo
things.
“Sorry Eve, I didn’t mean anything I453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZ9b0X2VkK
said.” I apologized. As we continued our search.
We walked away from the study door453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr96QTfkJaY
again. Then I heard it loud and clear this time.
“GET453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocOeTdhrdy
IN THERE!”.
I was so startled that I sprayed my spray into Evelyn’s eyes out of453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlnTfUCnCp
shock. I dropped the pepper spray, quite dazed. I started apologizing but453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4QIFNHlMj
stopped in shock. I stared at Evelyn in surprise.
Something is wrong. Very wrong.
Evelyn wasn’t in pain. In fact, she didn’t453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9Byd5G3um
look as though she was in pain at all. Instead, she smiled at me, walked453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hOQE9bt47
towards the study door, and opened it.
“Evelyn, are you ok?” I asked as the453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKjeCiU6Et
fear and shock I felt made my leg quiver.
“Yes, I am! Fiona. She wants us to453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJsfePbMOP
search the study!” she replied in a hypnotic way and with a horrific smile.
“Who?” I stammered as I looked453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1CeKHWNGP
around in fear. Everything about this house is just off.
"The453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagtxHe6hm9
girl." Eve replied impatiently. Still with that weird smile on her face. Then she453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfRZAzLDXs
added, “The girl that always tells us what to do.”
Then she disappeared into the room.
