Suddenly aware - IN THE SMITH`S MANSION

Our lives changed with just425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjI2pXbjSqt
the sound of a gunshot.

One night, one gunshot, one dead body425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvnZd4BUMn
discovered the next morning.

That was how my best friends and I got tangled425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMZpCphYDz
up in a murder mystery that changed not just our summer plans, but our entire425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwF9B7zAUtH
lives.

Here I am right now, sitting in my bedroom and425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0kWHqE4WY
looking impatiently at the time waiting the doorbell to ring. Evelyn and I had425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwZNH9xQso
to search the Smith’s mansion for a clue. This is our third search since the425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQHK86ycs1
murder. The second search left a sour taste in our mouth. Iris, one of our best425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNPpAvEj4c
friends, was almost killed. She is currently in the hospital in a coma.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BWRqDAolx
“indefinite” the doctor had said. These words echoed in my head and drove me to425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUlY1xRXDy
get to the bottom of this mystery.

7:45am

The doorbell rang.

Finally.

I picked my stuff, ran out of my room, down the425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Z6m2Mtivd
stairs and to the door. I flung it open.

“After a million years! We425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQfWaDP0nl
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 and425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5saF31XL7
dramatic but, in my defense, my heart was beating like crazy, and I just wanted425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4k6WzquYXG
to get things over with. I was already overthinking things as it was already.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xcSjrAjGW
All I could think of was the fact that Iris was almost murdered, and her killer425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRa6nmXPTP
is running free. Probably camping out at the Smith`s mansion… or in my house. I425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0LkxtUOvg
don’t know, and I don’t even want to think about anything else but to find the425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXagEBAzMi3
answer. And the answer, is behind those huge thick doors of the smith`s house.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoSxs45vPx
And today, I hope to uncover it.

Those doors…. quite like that of the425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSWu1PAyIn
entrance to hell. All these years, I had never seen the house as such a scarred425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkGZMRXunF
monument. But at the beginning of summer break, things changed. LOADS of425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0QGWMzCGD
things. And I must deal with these changes.

Evelyn stepped in front of me and dropped425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpX2AdgxcTM
the duffel bag on the dusty porch.

“Ready when you are!” she announced425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTQdrKFZ4R
as she dropped to her knees and unzipped the bag.

“Ready!” I replied. For some odd425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg34BTkiyyZ
reasons, that word was so difficult for me to say. It seemed like the weirdest425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLwgTXMEGd
thing to admit. Who in their right senses would be born ready to go exploring425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pYaEswGoC
an abandoned house where a murder was committed, where her best friend was425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOD642bSZL
almost killed, and most importantly, where a potential killer is hiding.

“Done!’ Evelyn announced as she425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbv27C8F70k
straightened up and pushed the door opened just a crack.

“Wait!” I demanded, preventing her425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvqvWSWtyB
from going in. “We should know that as we are walking into this place, we might425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsH0kolaM0m
be the next target.”

“Yeah, I know. And we should be very425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOWt38Z7eX
careful.”

“Very! You have your backup425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRiyRAbdMy
flashlights, right?”

“Never go anywhere without them!”

We laughed nervously. Evelyn then gave me425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iCHO1ZP9o
a reassuring nod, then pushed the door open. Taking a huge breath, we walked425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8i9LowEM5
into our very own doom.

The house greeted us with the usual425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORkUPLvlCP
dust. We went around the house. Our circle425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyslw8neyS8
of white light from our torch, followed us on our journey. I clutched my pepper425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbzLZl9Sgv
spray tight in my other hand with my heart beating like crazy. Everything seemed425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsktS5CDig
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. I425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aHS9OAeLb
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 to425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKSDrvyBpW
go into the study. I tried shaking of the strange feeling and walking away, but425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uRQz8xbGe
I felt myself being dragged to the door.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHCC3ZvFBT

NO… Not dragged. I was WALKING! Even425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeI8yfomLT
though I didn’t want to go, I saw myself walking towards the study.

Fear gripped my whole being. I425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vTb53C6Sy
heard Evelyn`s voice ask if I was ok.

“OF COURSE NOT!” I screamed. “I can425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2z3WC36EE
hear my own voice in my head telling me to do what I don’t want to.”

Adrenaline flowed through my veins425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwWNzuijO7
as I listened to myself talking. To my horror, that wasn’t what I screamed. I heard425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHioIFUZl3
myself scream: “I AM FINE! LET’S JUST GET THIS OVER WITH!”

WHAT? That so not what I wanted to425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaFmQkzpqD
say. I stared at Evelyn as she asked me what was wrong with me. She explained425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1kUJKCgkz
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. Maybe425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLnSmwluDu
that’s it. Maybe because I didn’t get enough sleep last night, I am hearing425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0J2wFsci7V
things.

“Sorry Eve, I didn’t mean anything I425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtfXLjV6mc
said.” I apologized. As we continued our search.

We walked away from the study door425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWz0jGFwDy
again. Then I heard it loud and clear this time.

“GET425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWx7mvobx4
IN THERE!”.

I was so startled that I sprayed my spray into Evelyn’s eyes out of425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfFSeBiEfe
shock. I dropped the pepper spray, quite dazed. I started apologizing but425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcF27NOIcXS
stopped in shock. I stared at Evelyn in surprise.

Something is wrong. Very wrong.

Evelyn wasn’t in pain. In fact, she didn’t425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUBwc7liCs
look as though she was in pain at all. Instead, she smiled at me, walked425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiEQwvULsr
towards the study door, and opened it.

“Evelyn, are you ok?” I asked as the425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1yly4QOY4
fear and shock I felt made my leg quiver.

“Yes, I am! Fiona. She wants us to425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4RaimR7yg
search the study!” she replied in a hypnotic way and with a horrific smile.

“Who?” I stammered as I looked425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNKDHgpEbH
around in fear. Everything about this house is just off.

"The425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡES7iQgkCrQ
girl." Eve replied impatiently. Still with that weird smile on her face. Then she425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLg9SjvSYua
added, “The girl that always tells us what to do.”

Then she disappeared into the room.
