Suddenly aware - IN THE SMITH`S MANSION

Our lives changed with just363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwOote0QKQ
the sound of a gunshot.

One night, one gunshot, one dead body363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5vzqthLni
discovered the next morning.

That was how my best friends and I got tangled363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGW8dRcUHuK
up in a murder mystery that changed not just our summer plans, but our entire363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72nZvBFs9u
lives.

Here I am right now, sitting in my bedroom and363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZNhT9J3Ic
looking impatiently at the time waiting the doorbell to ring. Evelyn and I had363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyQDhkxDTw
to search the Smith’s mansion for a clue. This is our third search since the363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZNs3QisQd
murder. The second search left a sour taste in our mouth. Iris, one of our best363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgu0p7t2HkW
friends, was almost killed. She is currently in the hospital in a coma.363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vfexI3vnu
“indefinite” the doctor had said. These words echoed in my head and drove me to363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JXy6ViCdc
get to the bottom of this mystery.

7:45am

The doorbell rang.

Finally.

I picked my stuff, ran out of my room, down the363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41dJYB1JwY
stairs and to the door. I flung it open.

“After a million years! We363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzv2DuggXrX
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 and363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ISQKnVAhX
dramatic but, in my defense, my heart was beating like crazy, and I just wanted363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCb8XqhPyqj
to get things over with. I was already overthinking things as it was already.363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQa4O8Cxkz
All I could think of was the fact that Iris was almost murdered, and her killer363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8Gtbn8NwN
is running free. Probably camping out at the Smith`s mansion… or in my house. I363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YXxxP2dtW
don’t know, and I don’t even want to think about anything else but to find the363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimTmT0O8wg
answer. And the answer, is behind those huge thick doors of the smith`s house.363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8rtiuto26
And today, I hope to uncover it.

Those doors…. quite like that of the363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWrAQ3m069
entrance to hell. All these years, I had never seen the house as such a scarred363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSqxuybCIa
monument. But at the beginning of summer break, things changed. LOADS of363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DqZ6YqdXM
things. And I must deal with these changes.

Evelyn stepped in front of me and dropped363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEwCmIJTVX
the duffel bag on the dusty porch.

“Ready when you are!” she announced363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT35PxcqY7l
as she dropped to her knees and unzipped the bag.

“Ready!” I replied. For some odd363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JAOq7RTnu
reasons, that word was so difficult for me to say. It seemed like the weirdest363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjzOrV2eOY
thing to admit. Who in their right senses would be born ready to go exploring363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0FL1EgMdT
an abandoned house where a murder was committed, where her best friend was363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndKRGkdq6M
almost killed, and most importantly, where a potential killer is hiding.

“Done!’ Evelyn announced as she363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4osh3Ns5Qk
straightened up and pushed the door opened just a crack.

“Wait!” I demanded, preventing her363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4rmSb1I04
from going in. “We should know that as we are walking into this place, we might363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5GJeDMwWq
be the next target.”

“Yeah, I know. And we should be very363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3XqaB7axK
careful.”

“Very! You have your backup363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEO7zos91M
flashlights, right?”

“Never go anywhere without them!”

We laughed nervously. Evelyn then gave me363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQKdfpHmTS
a reassuring nod, then pushed the door open. Taking a huge breath, we walked363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLWuly1oRD
into our very own doom.

The house greeted us with the usual363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnziewwMO9B
dust. We went around the house. Our circle363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngjaZ00Bvs
of white light from our torch, followed us on our journey. I clutched my pepper363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQr4mOxo4t
spray tight in my other hand with my heart beating like crazy. Everything seemed363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNap0dmwON
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. I363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzrRRu41uD
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 to363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdd1PDF1m8z
go into the study. I tried shaking of the strange feeling and walking away, but363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvraadz0M0
I felt myself being dragged to the door.363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqUgrpZ3zC

NO… Not dragged. I was WALKING! Even363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11VYFUgUy9
though I didn’t want to go, I saw myself walking towards the study.

Fear gripped my whole being. I363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3EF8OJ6wc
heard Evelyn`s voice ask if I was ok.

“OF COURSE NOT!” I screamed. “I can363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4O1IFBeiA
hear my own voice in my head telling me to do what I don’t want to.”

Adrenaline flowed through my veins363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNz1NKokK0w
as I listened to myself talking. To my horror, that wasn’t what I screamed. I heard363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWhVM8OuTV
myself scream: “I AM FINE! LET’S JUST GET THIS OVER WITH!”

WHAT? That so not what I wanted to363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ph2vPi5LM
say. I stared at Evelyn as she asked me what was wrong with me. She explained363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaB83bZO33
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. Maybe363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkfpGhMlXP
that’s it. Maybe because I didn’t get enough sleep last night, I am hearing363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Cczs3A971
things.

“Sorry Eve, I didn’t mean anything I363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2C3oNRBXz
said.” I apologized. As we continued our search.

We walked away from the study door363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfT3Rtz9gvo
again. Then I heard it loud and clear this time.

“GET363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuDbrNuWSM
IN THERE!”.

I was so startled that I sprayed my spray into Evelyn’s eyes out of363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL12M9uECCS
shock. I dropped the pepper spray, quite dazed. I started apologizing but363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zmrmz9Xju
stopped in shock. I stared at Evelyn in surprise.

Something is wrong. Very wrong.

Evelyn wasn’t in pain. In fact, she didn’t363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBgXstkpKP
look as though she was in pain at all. Instead, she smiled at me, walked363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpqSnKP0h3
towards the study door, and opened it.

“Evelyn, are you ok?” I asked as the363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8oR4b3Fp1
fear and shock I felt made my leg quiver.

“Yes, I am! Fiona. She wants us to363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4g92fmz2uA
search the study!” she replied in a hypnotic way and with a horrific smile.

“Who?” I stammered as I looked363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMy708H3zbS
around in fear. Everything about this house is just off.

"The363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ey37IGN2G
girl." Eve replied impatiently. Still with that weird smile on her face. Then she363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0eX1P4eKY
added, “The girl that always tells us what to do.”

Then she disappeared into the room.
