Our lives changed with just399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUd3ucgPie6
the sound of a gunshot.
One night, one gunshot, one dead body399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUIl9404mI
discovered the next morning.
That was how my best friends and I got tangled399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3p5f4NtWu
up in a murder mystery that changed not just our summer plans, but our entire399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFQyRUKjtW
lives.
Here I am right now, sitting in my bedroom and399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWGJpDKJuR
looking impatiently at the time waiting the doorbell to ring. Evelyn and I had399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVDUb3ngml
to search the Smith’s mansion for a clue. This is our third search since the399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aI6ATVB44
murder. The second search left a sour taste in our mouth. Iris, one of our best399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74tICsqcMw
friends, was almost killed. She is currently in the hospital in a coma.399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJAJhwCOo0
“indefinite” the doctor had said. These words echoed in my head and drove me to399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBY3A2jl46
get to the bottom of this mystery.
7:45am
The doorbell rang.
Finally.
I picked my stuff, ran out of my room, down the399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW84q683nI4
stairs and to the door. I flung it open.
“After a million years! We399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucdy60bLcv
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 and399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMCO7mnGT6
dramatic but, in my defense, my heart was beating like crazy, and I just wanted399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRPp5WwEar
to get things over with. I was already overthinking things as it was already.399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLXaz6BnED
All I could think of was the fact that Iris was almost murdered, and her killer399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwMkVMhU9d
is running free. Probably camping out at the Smith`s mansion… or in my house. I399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjtJGUfqfH
don’t know, and I don’t even want to think about anything else but to find the399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYHY0baULu
answer. And the answer, is behind those huge thick doors of the smith`s house.399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MKM1UcLe6
And today, I hope to uncover it.
Those doors…. quite like that of the399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcY3jHrvJN4
entrance to hell. All these years, I had never seen the house as such a scarred399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImHf0V3a8E
monument. But at the beginning of summer break, things changed. LOADS of399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqofCutmzjP
things. And I must deal with these changes.
Evelyn stepped in front of me and dropped399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLPTe5oguz
the duffel bag on the dusty porch.
“Ready when you are!” she announced399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGu2EpZVs6
as she dropped to her knees and unzipped the bag.
“Ready!” I replied. For some odd399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnBbdTpzTZ
reasons, that word was so difficult for me to say. It seemed like the weirdest399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLi8GrZ7JW
thing to admit. Who in their right senses would be born ready to go exploring399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlAMrqVVYd
an abandoned house where a murder was committed, where her best friend was399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyH03FbdKj
almost killed, and most importantly, where a potential killer is hiding.
“Done!’ Evelyn announced as she399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGB9sYPUknr
straightened up and pushed the door opened just a crack.
“Wait!” I demanded, preventing her399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8PNL01pVC
from going in. “We should know that as we are walking into this place, we might399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVU4zFB9qDG
be the next target.”
“Yeah, I know. And we should be very399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRI0wadX8JS
careful.”
“Very! You have your backup399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90DutJaopc
flashlights, right?”
“Never go anywhere without them!”
We laughed nervously. Evelyn then gave me399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdToBZmMUG
a reassuring nod, then pushed the door open. Taking a huge breath, we walked399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTOq5Z6gwl
into our very own doom.
The house greeted us with the usual399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCImqXSXt3H
dust. We went around the house. Our circle399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNiJP1dG13
of white light from our torch, followed us on our journey. I clutched my pepper399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSptahKXun
spray tight in my other hand with my heart beating like crazy. Everything seemed399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnRuXSPyP6
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. I399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GdzpdsFzA
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 to399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUCdKqeA6I
go into the study. I tried shaking of the strange feeling and walking away, but399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzGxQH5gRR
I felt myself being dragged to the door.399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeegNtZeCD
NO… Not dragged. I was WALKING! Even399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3juMX7bmt
though I didn’t want to go, I saw myself walking towards the study.
Fear gripped my whole being. I399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxbb2QP7uK
heard Evelyn`s voice ask if I was ok.
“OF COURSE NOT!” I screamed. “I can399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6e8iPZ60o4
hear my own voice in my head telling me to do what I don’t want to.”
Adrenaline flowed through my veins399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8xqARKrD0
as I listened to myself talking. To my horror, that wasn’t what I screamed. I heard399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mPA9o3OUm
myself scream: “I AM FINE! LET’S JUST GET THIS OVER WITH!”
WHAT? That so not what I wanted to399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVhEM6sqoB
say. I stared at Evelyn as she asked me what was wrong with me. She explained399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjVCkQ9lta
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. Maybe399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XMltdIX9j
that’s it. Maybe because I didn’t get enough sleep last night, I am hearing399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmj2hlXto8
things.
“Sorry Eve, I didn’t mean anything I399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjEFcPjvAe
said.” I apologized. As we continued our search.
We walked away from the study door399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0BDcOSqjm
again. Then I heard it loud and clear this time.
“GET399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtdf9HDXQQ
IN THERE!”.
I was so startled that I sprayed my spray into Evelyn’s eyes out of399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSdRJt0ZF4
shock. I dropped the pepper spray, quite dazed. I started apologizing but399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAvl9OUTEl
stopped in shock. I stared at Evelyn in surprise.
Something is wrong. Very wrong.
Evelyn wasn’t in pain. In fact, she didn’t399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXTr9sS8Gd
look as though she was in pain at all. Instead, she smiled at me, walked399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhad0KmH6rh
towards the study door, and opened it.
“Evelyn, are you ok?” I asked as the399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17YVwZob4h
fear and shock I felt made my leg quiver.
“Yes, I am! Fiona. She wants us to399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPPyd12zhQ
search the study!” she replied in a hypnotic way and with a horrific smile.
“Who?” I stammered as I looked399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbufORjXUu
around in fear. Everything about this house is just off.
"The399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqjYM5qWM0
girl." Eve replied impatiently. Still with that weird smile on her face. Then she399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNg0PYORMm4
added, “The girl that always tells us what to do.”
Then she disappeared into the room.
