Our lives changed with just337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozXAIqeQNp
the sound of a gunshot.
One night, one gunshot, one dead body337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QUkGZSGfE
discovered the next morning.
That was how my best friends and I got tangled337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWknMyk6cK
up in a murder mystery that changed not just our summer plans, but our entire337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzq2Mi9pHf
lives.
Here I am right now, sitting in my bedroom and337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiHQmj3cyY
looking impatiently at the time waiting the doorbell to ring. Evelyn and I had337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgR6KvNlAwZ
to search the Smith’s mansion for a clue. This is our third search since the337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ILoxEaH4T
murder. The second search left a sour taste in our mouth. Iris, one of our best337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVz70QuAmO
friends, was almost killed. She is currently in the hospital in a coma.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERkhjOZuyz
“indefinite” the doctor had said. These words echoed in my head and drove me to337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsp9PYKGDs8
get to the bottom of this mystery.
7:45am
The doorbell rang.
Finally.
I picked my stuff, ran out of my room, down the337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0LiYgRdpg
stairs and to the door. I flung it open.
“After a million years! We337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eRji7AocT
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 and337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPG3kCxYgtE
dramatic but, in my defense, my heart was beating like crazy, and I just wanted337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoGwWmN1HL
to get things over with. I was already overthinking things as it was already.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLQhTuBBTt
All I could think of was the fact that Iris was almost murdered, and her killer337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAUGKXz79h
is running free. Probably camping out at the Smith`s mansion… or in my house. I337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdgQhGO9p9
don’t know, and I don’t even want to think about anything else but to find the337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYSEsZDu3I
answer. And the answer, is behind those huge thick doors of the smith`s house.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIomo4C9B3a
And today, I hope to uncover it.
Those doors…. quite like that of the337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLmsZVu0xI
entrance to hell. All these years, I had never seen the house as such a scarred337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBWmWgAzlA
monument. But at the beginning of summer break, things changed. LOADS of337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4pvTS4lK4
things. And I must deal with these changes.
Evelyn stepped in front of me and dropped337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvWAO12rY2
the duffel bag on the dusty porch.
“Ready when you are!” she announced337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25baTyGfGR
as she dropped to her knees and unzipped the bag.
“Ready!” I replied. For some odd337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1ZOIH1QYO
reasons, that word was so difficult for me to say. It seemed like the weirdest337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rdEcVKhtT
thing to admit. Who in their right senses would be born ready to go exploring337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzX0PBHfX6W
an abandoned house where a murder was committed, where her best friend was337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbQVP1wKAD
almost killed, and most importantly, where a potential killer is hiding.
“Done!’ Evelyn announced as she337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNF95lpSnwu
straightened up and pushed the door opened just a crack.
“Wait!” I demanded, preventing her337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPiGnxzjJM
from going in. “We should know that as we are walking into this place, we might337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Wl7lqF8sl
be the next target.”
“Yeah, I know. And we should be very337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1xQzjmbe0
careful.”
“Very! You have your backup337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrcO8oBTva
flashlights, right?”
“Never go anywhere without them!”
We laughed nervously. Evelyn then gave me337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeVoUWNZTp
a reassuring nod, then pushed the door open. Taking a huge breath, we walked337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQR1D4sj6G3
into our very own doom.
The house greeted us with the usual337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmUKXOAZiy
dust. We went around the house. Our circle337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3qCbgn7tH
of white light from our torch, followed us on our journey. I clutched my pepper337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QBvpI916r
spray tight in my other hand with my heart beating like crazy. Everything seemed337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPys6PuLWnC
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. I337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pIlnVksM3
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 to337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjXVlCzlYm
go into the study. I tried shaking of the strange feeling and walking away, but337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkk5yUz2yeu
I felt myself being dragged to the door.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NYeVo5IOY
NO… Not dragged. I was WALKING! Even337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ60u3AQlXs
though I didn’t want to go, I saw myself walking towards the study.
Fear gripped my whole being. I337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzjapaYkYA
heard Evelyn`s voice ask if I was ok.
“OF COURSE NOT!” I screamed. “I can337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaUm4zUO7r
hear my own voice in my head telling me to do what I don’t want to.”
Adrenaline flowed through my veins337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ319chxezeU
as I listened to myself talking. To my horror, that wasn’t what I screamed. I heard337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMcqUW5oRo
myself scream: “I AM FINE! LET’S JUST GET THIS OVER WITH!”
WHAT? That so not what I wanted to337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ib6IGi292
say. I stared at Evelyn as she asked me what was wrong with me. She explained337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRhOXwkoSt
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. Maybe337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanAdATpA4t
that’s it. Maybe because I didn’t get enough sleep last night, I am hearing337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBx57W52er
things.
“Sorry Eve, I didn’t mean anything I337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37wWkBdOjx
said.” I apologized. As we continued our search.
We walked away from the study door337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5RBsBWael
again. Then I heard it loud and clear this time.
“GET337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFYifuJlcN
IN THERE!”.
I was so startled that I sprayed my spray into Evelyn’s eyes out of337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgtvmkMpAN
shock. I dropped the pepper spray, quite dazed. I started apologizing but337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtgMBJ84Bt
stopped in shock. I stared at Evelyn in surprise.
Something is wrong. Very wrong.
Evelyn wasn’t in pain. In fact, she didn’t337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuibcNI1e3
look as though she was in pain at all. Instead, she smiled at me, walked337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdSJt1dUH9
towards the study door, and opened it.
“Evelyn, are you ok?” I asked as the337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wTcJhYdPO
fear and shock I felt made my leg quiver.
“Yes, I am! Fiona. She wants us to337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4wxwpoI2Y
search the study!” she replied in a hypnotic way and with a horrific smile.
“Who?” I stammered as I looked337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3r0l78mDxi
around in fear. Everything about this house is just off.
"The337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQfuYIU8n5
girl." Eve replied impatiently. Still with that weird smile on her face. Then she337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0K6F751uxJ
added, “The girl that always tells us what to do.”
Then she disappeared into the room.
