Suddenly aware - IN THE SMITH`S MANSION

Our lives changed with just481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtY5ITc9oCP
the sound of a gunshot.

One night, one gunshot, one dead body481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwbmjZ4DnN
discovered the next morning.

That was how my best friends and I got tangled481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVipp1Lxmv
up in a murder mystery that changed not just our summer plans, but our entire481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb25J37zzj1
lives.

Here I am right now, sitting in my bedroom and481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEOiGojmOW
looking impatiently at the time waiting the doorbell to ring. Evelyn and I had481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yE6fqz2oQ
to search the Smith’s mansion for a clue. This is our third search since the481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7f1r8HCZzQ
murder. The second search left a sour taste in our mouth. Iris, one of our best481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8iZOpM2Mi
friends, was almost killed. She is currently in the hospital in a coma.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzRwLxKV9R
“indefinite” the doctor had said. These words echoed in my head and drove me to481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7dMo1FgfI
get to the bottom of this mystery.

7:45am

The doorbell rang.

Finally.

I picked my stuff, ran out of my room, down the481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiukDiayiS
stairs and to the door. I flung it open.

“After a million years! We481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcZdHwkhbG
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 and481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcluhjbwDM
dramatic but, in my defense, my heart was beating like crazy, and I just wanted481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWVZtAoBUn
to get things over with. I was already overthinking things as it was already.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobRIYJyCE3
All I could think of was the fact that Iris was almost murdered, and her killer481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPr4VVIkEPO
is running free. Probably camping out at the Smith`s mansion… or in my house. I481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6CyqEaGn6
don’t know, and I don’t even want to think about anything else but to find the481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkiaF8CdPf
answer. And the answer, is behind those huge thick doors of the smith`s house.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMTDDbezm4
And today, I hope to uncover it.

Those doors…. quite like that of the481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwvLVpTDim
entrance to hell. All these years, I had never seen the house as such a scarred481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ827UHwKFS6
monument. But at the beginning of summer break, things changed. LOADS of481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44Ch33aeIy
things. And I must deal with these changes.

Evelyn stepped in front of me and dropped481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6FZvXuBVv
the duffel bag on the dusty porch.

“Ready when you are!” she announced481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46N55yxC6g
as she dropped to her knees and unzipped the bag.

“Ready!” I replied. For some odd481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwMXn5r8xx
reasons, that word was so difficult for me to say. It seemed like the weirdest481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGSJmcKIec
thing to admit. Who in their right senses would be born ready to go exploring481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwAV1iV47y
an abandoned house where a murder was committed, where her best friend was481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhPbXTPcsJ
almost killed, and most importantly, where a potential killer is hiding.

“Done!’ Evelyn announced as she481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofetSHhAJ9
straightened up and pushed the door opened just a crack.

“Wait!” I demanded, preventing her481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufQHlJSdKt
from going in. “We should know that as we are walking into this place, we might481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡum1wyucJ2X
be the next target.”

“Yeah, I know. And we should be very481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SV7YafuQC
careful.”

“Very! You have your backup481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyh2tGUlta
flashlights, right?”

“Never go anywhere without them!”

We laughed nervously. Evelyn then gave me481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8RwtkYpT3
a reassuring nod, then pushed the door open. Taking a huge breath, we walked481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJOe99s6DD
into our very own doom.

The house greeted us with the usual481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXXxwzMJTc
dust. We went around the house. Our circle481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3HlcaYx03
of white light from our torch, followed us on our journey. I clutched my pepper481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgRPcRFKhZ
spray tight in my other hand with my heart beating like crazy. Everything seemed481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjEZ2MGV3X
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. I481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9WFUpqg0M
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 to481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwD0CuEGrak
go into the study. I tried shaking of the strange feeling and walking away, but481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MO8y0yT0t
I felt myself being dragged to the door.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmwChTbjQP

NO… Not dragged. I was WALKING! Even481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMk9RMeOLk
though I didn’t want to go, I saw myself walking towards the study.

Fear gripped my whole being. I481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1HUDLLTWc
heard Evelyn`s voice ask if I was ok.

“OF COURSE NOT!” I screamed. “I can481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPdT5LgB7B
hear my own voice in my head telling me to do what I don’t want to.”

Adrenaline flowed through my veins481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Qrst8Uxue
as I listened to myself talking. To my horror, that wasn’t what I screamed. I heard481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQ5U7kBQU1
myself scream: “I AM FINE! LET’S JUST GET THIS OVER WITH!”

WHAT? That so not what I wanted to481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAoNILdMsQ
say. I stared at Evelyn as she asked me what was wrong with me. She explained481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8Kg1M8mID
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. Maybe481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoH4tOZljo
that’s it. Maybe because I didn’t get enough sleep last night, I am hearing481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsFv3nZgud
things.

“Sorry Eve, I didn’t mean anything I481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyICPJO78Z
said.” I apologized. As we continued our search.

We walked away from the study door481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGg9ppJdhX
again. Then I heard it loud and clear this time.

“GET481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMs8VnqGgx
IN THERE!”.

I was so startled that I sprayed my spray into Evelyn’s eyes out of481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3IdHOJrnW
shock. I dropped the pepper spray, quite dazed. I started apologizing but481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfONVFatnun
stopped in shock. I stared at Evelyn in surprise.

Something is wrong. Very wrong.

Evelyn wasn’t in pain. In fact, she didn’t481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEXuhhRktU
look as though she was in pain at all. Instead, she smiled at me, walked481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobwFWbjoWE
towards the study door, and opened it.

“Evelyn, are you ok?” I asked as the481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8x94nV4Fe0
fear and shock I felt made my leg quiver.

“Yes, I am! Fiona. She wants us to481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpQ1C2Qmw7
search the study!” she replied in a hypnotic way and with a horrific smile.

“Who?” I stammered as I looked481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzxrOHIpk1
around in fear. Everything about this house is just off.

"The481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NflhzCCrk
girl." Eve replied impatiently. Still with that weird smile on her face. Then she481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUJ1cEXoxY
added, “The girl that always tells us what to do.”

Then she disappeared into the room.
