Suddenly aware - IN THE SMITH`S MANSION

Our lives changed with just332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUojOKsrQb
the sound of a gunshot.

One night, one gunshot, one dead body332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78kXAjqzUd
discovered the next morning.

That was how my best friends and I got tangled332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLXlXsprPB
up in a murder mystery that changed not just our summer plans, but our entire332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWDs1eD1PU
lives.

Here I am right now, sitting in my bedroom and332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdky1IcMNKN
looking impatiently at the time waiting the doorbell to ring. Evelyn and I had332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIECVbl44f
to search the Smith’s mansion for a clue. This is our third search since the332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3w2BRrElW
murder. The second search left a sour taste in our mouth. Iris, one of our best332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2dfTEbTjV
friends, was almost killed. She is currently in the hospital in a coma.332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVo6yF30ig1
“indefinite” the doctor had said. These words echoed in my head and drove me to332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mRuVllm54
get to the bottom of this mystery.

7:45am

The doorbell rang.

Finally.

I picked my stuff, ran out of my room, down the332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeg70MIRVg1
stairs and to the door. I flung it open.

“After a million years! We332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbEJsS6ME4
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 and332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvCQG8qnyS
dramatic but, in my defense, my heart was beating like crazy, and I just wanted332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2kLaLi9FC
to get things over with. I was already overthinking things as it was already.332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwhNep7mGZ
All I could think of was the fact that Iris was almost murdered, and her killer332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQ3AizwAYl
is running free. Probably camping out at the Smith`s mansion… or in my house. I332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOeNZbgI4n
don’t know, and I don’t even want to think about anything else but to find the332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJO9ZUXfTt
answer. And the answer, is behind those huge thick doors of the smith`s house.332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RL6RSibAd
And today, I hope to uncover it.

Those doors…. quite like that of the332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SUz5Q8RbD
entrance to hell. All these years, I had never seen the house as such a scarred332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8xLc7Ctkn
monument. But at the beginning of summer break, things changed. LOADS of332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtx7eaY0TWh
things. And I must deal with these changes.

Evelyn stepped in front of me and dropped332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAHa7kf4eJ
the duffel bag on the dusty porch.

“Ready when you are!” she announced332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCM6HwGKvnH
as she dropped to her knees and unzipped the bag.

“Ready!” I replied. For some odd332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9ERQWTxqj
reasons, that word was so difficult for me to say. It seemed like the weirdest332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlD9UFgWXE
thing to admit. Who in their right senses would be born ready to go exploring332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbZmafdxNz
an abandoned house where a murder was committed, where her best friend was332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNvFVEVzJi
almost killed, and most importantly, where a potential killer is hiding.

“Done!’ Evelyn announced as she332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbagijoBXWL
straightened up and pushed the door opened just a crack.

“Wait!” I demanded, preventing her332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjLmuqrrkb
from going in. “We should know that as we are walking into this place, we might332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEgTBr3zEm
be the next target.”

“Yeah, I know. And we should be very332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLVYbkCE9X
careful.”

“Very! You have your backup332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuhsQ74Jzk
flashlights, right?”

“Never go anywhere without them!”

We laughed nervously. Evelyn then gave me332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDuR8y6pcH
a reassuring nod, then pushed the door open. Taking a huge breath, we walked332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEQDmdCnKU
into our very own doom.

The house greeted us with the usual332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xWbhVCxB7
dust. We went around the house. Our circle332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMZGo30slF
of white light from our torch, followed us on our journey. I clutched my pepper332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SWEL83ckX
spray tight in my other hand with my heart beating like crazy. Everything seemed332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡId8s8fkz0D
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. I332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVsKzJtc3O
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 to332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbsgW0KI0V
go into the study. I tried shaking of the strange feeling and walking away, but332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wzX1eQJEh
I felt myself being dragged to the door.332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzdqz9PqSu

NO… Not dragged. I was WALKING! Even332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekotEYS6yz
though I didn’t want to go, I saw myself walking towards the study.

Fear gripped my whole being. I332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUqeug96OP
heard Evelyn`s voice ask if I was ok.

“OF COURSE NOT!” I screamed. “I can332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe86c7IxLk2
hear my own voice in my head telling me to do what I don’t want to.”

Adrenaline flowed through my veins332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcltXMtG281
as I listened to myself talking. To my horror, that wasn’t what I screamed. I heard332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UAFbuAMZH
myself scream: “I AM FINE! LET’S JUST GET THIS OVER WITH!”

WHAT? That so not what I wanted to332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfstO8qfXM
say. I stared at Evelyn as she asked me what was wrong with me. She explained332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzENBL1U8rf
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. Maybe332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE53awSFxEu
that’s it. Maybe because I didn’t get enough sleep last night, I am hearing332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzopgNT3lJ5
things.

“Sorry Eve, I didn’t mean anything I332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvtZFdq4M7
said.” I apologized. As we continued our search.

We walked away from the study door332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoAkhECOzp
again. Then I heard it loud and clear this time.

“GET332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsFv70VnnV
IN THERE!”.

I was so startled that I sprayed my spray into Evelyn’s eyes out of332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZ7dvUTf2h
shock. I dropped the pepper spray, quite dazed. I started apologizing but332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0pVTslZ7c
stopped in shock. I stared at Evelyn in surprise.

Something is wrong. Very wrong.

Evelyn wasn’t in pain. In fact, she didn’t332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLlXkweayU
look as though she was in pain at all. Instead, she smiled at me, walked332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsa7SZwfYon
towards the study door, and opened it.

“Evelyn, are you ok?” I asked as the332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5qxVWtwHo
fear and shock I felt made my leg quiver.

“Yes, I am! Fiona. She wants us to332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKUB7pYgWY
search the study!” she replied in a hypnotic way and with a horrific smile.

“Who?” I stammered as I looked332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xCmCfSDit
around in fear. Everything about this house is just off.

"The332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOF130OrF7
girl." Eve replied impatiently. Still with that weird smile on her face. Then she332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbMtNgRMjE
added, “The girl that always tells us what to do.”

Then she disappeared into the room.
