Suddenly aware - IN THE SMITH`S MANSION

Our lives changed with just500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvOZge1uQ7
the sound of a gunshot.

One night, one gunshot, one dead body500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPZB2JyuYc
discovered the next morning.

That was how my best friends and I got tangled500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZCX97AaWT
up in a murder mystery that changed not just our summer plans, but our entire500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMz3DPQPUx
lives.

Here I am right now, sitting in my bedroom and500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSeuBMLBMv
looking impatiently at the time waiting the doorbell to ring. Evelyn and I had500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGoYjQxXkQ
to search the Smith’s mansion for a clue. This is our third search since the500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsVIgdjuti
murder. The second search left a sour taste in our mouth. Iris, one of our best500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1hgesSbtc
friends, was almost killed. She is currently in the hospital in a coma.500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9lKVPLhpF
“indefinite” the doctor had said. These words echoed in my head and drove me to500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPe5NAqLFTr
get to the bottom of this mystery.

7:45am

The doorbell rang.

Finally.

I picked my stuff, ran out of my room, down the500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNFiNEvvI4
stairs and to the door. I flung it open.

“After a million years! We500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahYa0iBUQO
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 and500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKv6nqD7zk
dramatic but, in my defense, my heart was beating like crazy, and I just wanted500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEXWv24Krp
to get things over with. I was already overthinking things as it was already.500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKIEdcnyak
All I could think of was the fact that Iris was almost murdered, and her killer500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnC2EAg8kmk
is running free. Probably camping out at the Smith`s mansion… or in my house. I500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1f607Ll8g6
don’t know, and I don’t even want to think about anything else but to find the500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1LGY8gC2I
answer. And the answer, is behind those huge thick doors of the smith`s house.500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ622OQ7rRB0
And today, I hope to uncover it.

Those doors…. quite like that of the500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lNUWzX0hi
entrance to hell. All these years, I had never seen the house as such a scarred500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGffIM017o
monument. But at the beginning of summer break, things changed. LOADS of500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzFu3grt71
things. And I must deal with these changes.

Evelyn stepped in front of me and dropped500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7y6hRo8Dl
the duffel bag on the dusty porch.

“Ready when you are!” she announced500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZ7VuqI0AB
as she dropped to her knees and unzipped the bag.

“Ready!” I replied. For some odd500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1Ne7tTO5C
reasons, that word was so difficult for me to say. It seemed like the weirdest500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDX0agbit2j
thing to admit. Who in their right senses would be born ready to go exploring500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdpBorv34d
an abandoned house where a murder was committed, where her best friend was500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbhRKnqhUc
almost killed, and most importantly, where a potential killer is hiding.

“Done!’ Evelyn announced as she500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQTKOYWtix
straightened up and pushed the door opened just a crack.

“Wait!” I demanded, preventing her500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAfqaUOfTY
from going in. “We should know that as we are walking into this place, we might500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9Zt6cM6G2
be the next target.”

“Yeah, I know. And we should be very500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuB7eGlSS6
careful.”

“Very! You have your backup500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHR0cE2KjYb
flashlights, right?”

“Never go anywhere without them!”

We laughed nervously. Evelyn then gave me500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpu0wfCyfG
a reassuring nod, then pushed the door open. Taking a huge breath, we walked500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhnCy1336f
into our very own doom.

The house greeted us with the usual500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLZpEGWWNg
dust. We went around the house. Our circle500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFG86tzmupX
of white light from our torch, followed us on our journey. I clutched my pepper500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXwiAYirRy
spray tight in my other hand with my heart beating like crazy. Everything seemed500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnM10br8Jxh
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. I500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIcwZffUHr
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 to500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WIGPe2tkJ
go into the study. I tried shaking of the strange feeling and walking away, but500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LkLl3HFyc
I felt myself being dragged to the door.500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLWRbTLoiQ

NO… Not dragged. I was WALKING! Even500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9TYiPgYjJ
though I didn’t want to go, I saw myself walking towards the study.

Fear gripped my whole being. I500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ls8qtu2Du
heard Evelyn`s voice ask if I was ok.

“OF COURSE NOT!” I screamed. “I can500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrztNgI80Tl
hear my own voice in my head telling me to do what I don’t want to.”

Adrenaline flowed through my veins500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn05NDE0dDA
as I listened to myself talking. To my horror, that wasn’t what I screamed. I heard500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntD1msqEdK
myself scream: “I AM FINE! LET’S JUST GET THIS OVER WITH!”

WHAT? That so not what I wanted to500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYROLPhK1Vb
say. I stared at Evelyn as she asked me what was wrong with me. She explained500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMdRMqfOa4
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. Maybe500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3XH36ptiy
that’s it. Maybe because I didn’t get enough sleep last night, I am hearing500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviIZLki8Zi
things.

“Sorry Eve, I didn’t mean anything I500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡule1o94del
said.” I apologized. As we continued our search.

We walked away from the study door500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJZM9yfd3W
again. Then I heard it loud and clear this time.

“GET500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqm9ag5sND
IN THERE!”.

I was so startled that I sprayed my spray into Evelyn’s eyes out of500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNeit1AvCV
shock. I dropped the pepper spray, quite dazed. I started apologizing but500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LhTgh91iP
stopped in shock. I stared at Evelyn in surprise.

Something is wrong. Very wrong.

Evelyn wasn’t in pain. In fact, she didn’t500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnUamMKnsp
look as though she was in pain at all. Instead, she smiled at me, walked500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ka6EN56Jj
towards the study door, and opened it.

“Evelyn, are you ok?” I asked as the500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsJSIFalxz
fear and shock I felt made my leg quiver.

“Yes, I am! Fiona. She wants us to500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMEXHYLY7N
search the study!” she replied in a hypnotic way and with a horrific smile.

“Who?” I stammered as I looked500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNBzYeMVXZ
around in fear. Everything about this house is just off.

"The500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtRH4yRf0r
girl." Eve replied impatiently. Still with that weird smile on her face. Then she500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwpgEE1uVT
added, “The girl that always tells us what to do.”

Then she disappeared into the room.
