Suddenly aware - IN THE SMITH`S MANSION

Our lives changed with just423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAtBEX2os7
the sound of a gunshot.

One night, one gunshot, one dead body423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56wa2YIJ2A
discovered the next morning.

That was how my best friends and I got tangled423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQibtG2sDT
up in a murder mystery that changed not just our summer plans, but our entire423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOxJky0tL2
lives.

Here I am right now, sitting in my bedroom and423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3afUz2Qhh5
looking impatiently at the time waiting the doorbell to ring. Evelyn and I had423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZE1tlA1gY
to search the Smith’s mansion for a clue. This is our third search since the423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjPZ2jEtGR
murder. The second search left a sour taste in our mouth. Iris, one of our best423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVILkjOIlj
friends, was almost killed. She is currently in the hospital in a coma.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTEhG1miCF
“indefinite” the doctor had said. These words echoed in my head and drove me to423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡST5hd9PONe
get to the bottom of this mystery.

7:45am

The doorbell rang.

Finally.

I picked my stuff, ran out of my room, down the423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZ6eBdspCJ
stairs and to the door. I flung it open.

“After a million years! We423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HW7Dkm7gn
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 and423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTUDA46ExD
dramatic but, in my defense, my heart was beating like crazy, and I just wanted423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFCWI522ou
to get things over with. I was already overthinking things as it was already.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLqjbYDLn1
All I could think of was the fact that Iris was almost murdered, and her killer423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsguTFbf4l
is running free. Probably camping out at the Smith`s mansion… or in my house. I423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMk1WtgBFA
don’t know, and I don’t even want to think about anything else but to find the423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqq2skOrclV
answer. And the answer, is behind those huge thick doors of the smith`s house.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9P0KlrmQCS
And today, I hope to uncover it.

Those doors…. quite like that of the423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TpElrjApt
entrance to hell. All these years, I had never seen the house as such a scarred423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMi5yK4e1Rh
monument. But at the beginning of summer break, things changed. LOADS of423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLSlK99Sqp
things. And I must deal with these changes.

Evelyn stepped in front of me and dropped423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT33c4ceXy9
the duffel bag on the dusty porch.

“Ready when you are!” she announced423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Zya9lVxZz
as she dropped to her knees and unzipped the bag.

“Ready!” I replied. For some odd423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZCbPWKYWX
reasons, that word was so difficult for me to say. It seemed like the weirdest423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYT0APME7RK
thing to admit. Who in their right senses would be born ready to go exploring423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1t9ITRjW9b
an abandoned house where a murder was committed, where her best friend was423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AeCrjyKqB
almost killed, and most importantly, where a potential killer is hiding.

“Done!’ Evelyn announced as she423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSlTSPpmYa
straightened up and pushed the door opened just a crack.

“Wait!” I demanded, preventing her423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGDEfpSAPj
from going in. “We should know that as we are walking into this place, we might423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTROZv4Ax7l
be the next target.”

“Yeah, I know. And we should be very423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziIfoRsqiS
careful.”

“Very! You have your backup423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0x7cKxgXF5
flashlights, right?”

“Never go anywhere without them!”

We laughed nervously. Evelyn then gave me423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFiZ7UHT7o
a reassuring nod, then pushed the door open. Taking a huge breath, we walked423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJM6ncOG5DT
into our very own doom.

The house greeted us with the usual423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlrOetZZeA
dust. We went around the house. Our circle423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeF8Ia5ZhPJ
of white light from our torch, followed us on our journey. I clutched my pepper423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbMizIHhYs
spray tight in my other hand with my heart beating like crazy. Everything seemed423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqKSRrc5QC
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. I423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2KQmgPc6N
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 to423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gOPx1ckvK
go into the study. I tried shaking of the strange feeling and walking away, but423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsXLWHNWg0
I felt myself being dragged to the door.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvCFEYlwR3

NO… Not dragged. I was WALKING! Even423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeXjkbQCzV
though I didn’t want to go, I saw myself walking towards the study.

Fear gripped my whole being. I423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD33sbiP4ZK
heard Evelyn`s voice ask if I was ok.

“OF COURSE NOT!” I screamed. “I can423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrkHDJDUF4
hear my own voice in my head telling me to do what I don’t want to.”

Adrenaline flowed through my veins423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwsK1YFGF2
as I listened to myself talking. To my horror, that wasn’t what I screamed. I heard423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4GZ5Le04A
myself scream: “I AM FINE! LET’S JUST GET THIS OVER WITH!”

WHAT? That so not what I wanted to423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDHyh3dFn6
say. I stared at Evelyn as she asked me what was wrong with me. She explained423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9UT7RZNvy
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. Maybe423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17X6e934J3
that’s it. Maybe because I didn’t get enough sleep last night, I am hearing423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVobn6v6y6
things.

“Sorry Eve, I didn’t mean anything I423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvTBKxaPi7
said.” I apologized. As we continued our search.

We walked away from the study door423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JRINrlwOe
again. Then I heard it loud and clear this time.

“GET423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQx7Rl4V4QR
IN THERE!”.

I was so startled that I sprayed my spray into Evelyn’s eyes out of423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JUuGNf7Rr
shock. I dropped the pepper spray, quite dazed. I started apologizing but423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUX3nP1U7q
stopped in shock. I stared at Evelyn in surprise.

Something is wrong. Very wrong.

Evelyn wasn’t in pain. In fact, she didn’t423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZrjOV0oa7
look as though she was in pain at all. Instead, she smiled at me, walked423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7bD1E8Ra8
towards the study door, and opened it.

“Evelyn, are you ok?” I asked as the423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAanoQ5wlIA
fear and shock I felt made my leg quiver.

“Yes, I am! Fiona. She wants us to423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwa8jNQGDK
search the study!” she replied in a hypnotic way and with a horrific smile.

“Who?” I stammered as I looked423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZcauUSic9
around in fear. Everything about this house is just off.

"The423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPM8Hxwn6WI
girl." Eve replied impatiently. Still with that weird smile on her face. Then she423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGH2AUqAxZy
added, “The girl that always tells us what to do.”

Then she disappeared into the room.
