Suddenly aware - IN THE SMITH`S MANSION

Our lives changed with just396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ViO4skflE
the sound of a gunshot.

One night, one gunshot, one dead body396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFsDfGpPgO
discovered the next morning.

That was how my best friends and I got tangled396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJ2EaZ7mAb
up in a murder mystery that changed not just our summer plans, but our entire396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4uJxopqaf
lives.

Here I am right now, sitting in my bedroom and396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2Bcq2PkJz
looking impatiently at the time waiting the doorbell to ring. Evelyn and I had396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC85epizNXg
to search the Smith’s mansion for a clue. This is our third search since the396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gaqtsJmHA
murder. The second search left a sour taste in our mouth. Iris, one of our best396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFGRGM0o1k
friends, was almost killed. She is currently in the hospital in a coma.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeUBVhKHMe
“indefinite” the doctor had said. These words echoed in my head and drove me to396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7epfkVG5C5
get to the bottom of this mystery.

7:45am

The doorbell rang.

Finally.

I picked my stuff, ran out of my room, down the396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRv1GjBIlsr
stairs and to the door. I flung it open.

“After a million years! We396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJJphSsKJK
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 and396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSo8ufEx3i
dramatic but, in my defense, my heart was beating like crazy, and I just wanted396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9oZB5JIr0
to get things over with. I was already overthinking things as it was already.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOIHyKhydf
All I could think of was the fact that Iris was almost murdered, and her killer396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GjpAVVmRv
is running free. Probably camping out at the Smith`s mansion… or in my house. I396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KMPEFZ2PV
don’t know, and I don’t even want to think about anything else but to find the396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHSE5AEBLy
answer. And the answer, is behind those huge thick doors of the smith`s house.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1whSUEaMLp
And today, I hope to uncover it.

Those doors…. quite like that of the396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepvXa4CJFS
entrance to hell. All these years, I had never seen the house as such a scarred396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JYTwHFf6M
monument. But at the beginning of summer break, things changed. LOADS of396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvYGI6QIj9
things. And I must deal with these changes.

Evelyn stepped in front of me and dropped396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGUa42wwmS
the duffel bag on the dusty porch.

“Ready when you are!” she announced396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMI4Wwnpmb
as she dropped to her knees and unzipped the bag.

“Ready!” I replied. For some odd396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8eoHQIh9x
reasons, that word was so difficult for me to say. It seemed like the weirdest396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0yHKKmnY4
thing to admit. Who in their right senses would be born ready to go exploring396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhlbnfJ7Yd
an abandoned house where a murder was committed, where her best friend was396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjD5rAahvcU
almost killed, and most importantly, where a potential killer is hiding.

“Done!’ Evelyn announced as she396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQLqWr1PBK
straightened up and pushed the door opened just a crack.

“Wait!” I demanded, preventing her396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ETDUIXAH5
from going in. “We should know that as we are walking into this place, we might396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZZzRJbnUm
be the next target.”

“Yeah, I know. And we should be very396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB82apZFndD
careful.”

“Very! You have your backup396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwA3ObNXtwT
flashlights, right?”

“Never go anywhere without them!”

We laughed nervously. Evelyn then gave me396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBpuN7FhbY
a reassuring nod, then pushed the door open. Taking a huge breath, we walked396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigzWeelLas
into our very own doom.

The house greeted us with the usual396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlDmAxQNGP
dust. We went around the house. Our circle396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcei2Rem1f0
of white light from our torch, followed us on our journey. I clutched my pepper396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlOANRDh8v
spray tight in my other hand with my heart beating like crazy. Everything seemed396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfD5eECN53
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. I396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2JzY6mhNO
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 to396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjncsGLuxU
go into the study. I tried shaking of the strange feeling and walking away, but396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjaUGOd96Q
I felt myself being dragged to the door.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnTD5revop

NO… Not dragged. I was WALKING! Even396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jkaPmRWIe
though I didn’t want to go, I saw myself walking towards the study.

Fear gripped my whole being. I396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxkK9LVPvg
heard Evelyn`s voice ask if I was ok.

“OF COURSE NOT!” I screamed. “I can396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3A50nYtIvM
hear my own voice in my head telling me to do what I don’t want to.”

Adrenaline flowed through my veins396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMre2DBmr9P
as I listened to myself talking. To my horror, that wasn’t what I screamed. I heard396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNs468Z2vTS
myself scream: “I AM FINE! LET’S JUST GET THIS OVER WITH!”

WHAT? That so not what I wanted to396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULSJQgvGc6
say. I stared at Evelyn as she asked me what was wrong with me. She explained396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJWTVhYFKO
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. Maybe396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NuLEooEhz
that’s it. Maybe because I didn’t get enough sleep last night, I am hearing396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdDNgwvjiv
things.

“Sorry Eve, I didn’t mean anything I396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkt6JS7Uid
said.” I apologized. As we continued our search.

We walked away from the study door396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUGytbIAY3
again. Then I heard it loud and clear this time.

“GET396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFyv6Jyq1n
IN THERE!”.

I was so startled that I sprayed my spray into Evelyn’s eyes out of396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UlBAUZMDl
shock. I dropped the pepper spray, quite dazed. I started apologizing but396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYlluLJhyl
stopped in shock. I stared at Evelyn in surprise.

Something is wrong. Very wrong.

Evelyn wasn’t in pain. In fact, she didn’t396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcP8jfesYbK
look as though she was in pain at all. Instead, she smiled at me, walked396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGuO4wwi7X
towards the study door, and opened it.

“Evelyn, are you ok?” I asked as the396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4mtTnHgEg
fear and shock I felt made my leg quiver.

“Yes, I am! Fiona. She wants us to396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAk47F7eKs4
search the study!” she replied in a hypnotic way and with a horrific smile.

“Who?” I stammered as I looked396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4ubyfjOE7
around in fear. Everything about this house is just off.

"The396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIyV0DbnqO
girl." Eve replied impatiently. Still with that weird smile on her face. Then she396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdvX1OnfS6
added, “The girl that always tells us what to do.”

Then she disappeared into the room.
