Suddenly aware - IN THE SMITH`S MANSION

Our lives changed with just360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8KORnbptq
the sound of a gunshot.

One night, one gunshot, one dead body360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MmlD8SagM
discovered the next morning.

That was how my best friends and I got tangled360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIh81TOJbsq
up in a murder mystery that changed not just our summer plans, but our entire360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKsNP7pbpH
lives.

Here I am right now, sitting in my bedroom and360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonQ2shmBZ4
looking impatiently at the time waiting the doorbell to ring. Evelyn and I had360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrk84goGo9
to search the Smith’s mansion for a clue. This is our third search since the360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFQmXtw36k
murder. The second search left a sour taste in our mouth. Iris, one of our best360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcofUQVdiCq
friends, was almost killed. She is currently in the hospital in a coma.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvYHn1zRGH
“indefinite” the doctor had said. These words echoed in my head and drove me to360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDdvg3qdja
get to the bottom of this mystery.

7:45am

The doorbell rang.

Finally.

I picked my stuff, ran out of my room, down the360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKTkUk1aPn
stairs and to the door. I flung it open.

“After a million years! We360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUhinBSZe1
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 and360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEjmwJCQwn
dramatic but, in my defense, my heart was beating like crazy, and I just wanted360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfnAAhklfG
to get things over with. I was already overthinking things as it was already.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xj8bf0auT
All I could think of was the fact that Iris was almost murdered, and her killer360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxBdWoDEpf
is running free. Probably camping out at the Smith`s mansion… or in my house. I360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5mUVBN2rw
don’t know, and I don’t even want to think about anything else but to find the360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxw9wgKfQzH
answer. And the answer, is behind those huge thick doors of the smith`s house.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPSlJLYE6O
And today, I hope to uncover it.

Those doors…. quite like that of the360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1iEyjmnJH
entrance to hell. All these years, I had never seen the house as such a scarred360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsMX3riO6h
monument. But at the beginning of summer break, things changed. LOADS of360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZd8qmfQCzE
things. And I must deal with these changes.

Evelyn stepped in front of me and dropped360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSSj2Ab43D
the duffel bag on the dusty porch.

“Ready when you are!” she announced360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvATQsom5lR
as she dropped to her knees and unzipped the bag.

“Ready!” I replied. For some odd360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTeOJIfMGu
reasons, that word was so difficult for me to say. It seemed like the weirdest360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZd1EDnonP
thing to admit. Who in their right senses would be born ready to go exploring360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsTurwaXYG
an abandoned house where a murder was committed, where her best friend was360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5w54A97r0K
almost killed, and most importantly, where a potential killer is hiding.

“Done!’ Evelyn announced as she360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNzKybRp0q
straightened up and pushed the door opened just a crack.

“Wait!” I demanded, preventing her360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBBeE2IzaZ
from going in. “We should know that as we are walking into this place, we might360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSUwoG2Q72
be the next target.”

“Yeah, I know. And we should be very360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLY3IIOORHo
careful.”

“Very! You have your backup360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2yHifcu0V
flashlights, right?”

“Never go anywhere without them!”

We laughed nervously. Evelyn then gave me360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYUFaoUYgL
a reassuring nod, then pushed the door open. Taking a huge breath, we walked360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfsNEARcyf
into our very own doom.

The house greeted us with the usual360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBV0sgJevPm
dust. We went around the house. Our circle360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06fCgN54in
of white light from our torch, followed us on our journey. I clutched my pepper360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7drcJEsCFD
spray tight in my other hand with my heart beating like crazy. Everything seemed360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhYNt6i9kX
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. I360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPyWIhmnAI
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 to360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjo5EdFlEQ
go into the study. I tried shaking of the strange feeling and walking away, but360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2CIZNGeeg
I felt myself being dragged to the door.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0QuBjsg86

NO… Not dragged. I was WALKING! Even360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwQEZ1j18b
though I didn’t want to go, I saw myself walking towards the study.

Fear gripped my whole being. I360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlclLOgr2B
heard Evelyn`s voice ask if I was ok.

“OF COURSE NOT!” I screamed. “I can360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Gw8nmbp1h
hear my own voice in my head telling me to do what I don’t want to.”

Adrenaline flowed through my veins360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0r3NdtjrCG
as I listened to myself talking. To my horror, that wasn’t what I screamed. I heard360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxBiVqzy0X
myself scream: “I AM FINE! LET’S JUST GET THIS OVER WITH!”

WHAT? That so not what I wanted to360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlhQZ5sIOe
say. I stared at Evelyn as she asked me what was wrong with me. She explained360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT22WGg6VEy
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. Maybe360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTiOfKRd4C
that’s it. Maybe because I didn’t get enough sleep last night, I am hearing360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGOUDA6cvC
things.

“Sorry Eve, I didn’t mean anything I360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzgMDf8Klh
said.” I apologized. As we continued our search.

We walked away from the study door360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRDlzxUoaa
again. Then I heard it loud and clear this time.

“GET360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUvN6v0BvY
IN THERE!”.

I was so startled that I sprayed my spray into Evelyn’s eyes out of360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3xiOOGB5P
shock. I dropped the pepper spray, quite dazed. I started apologizing but360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvyxBdHNFR
stopped in shock. I stared at Evelyn in surprise.

Something is wrong. Very wrong.

Evelyn wasn’t in pain. In fact, she didn’t360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwBxWVNY2k
look as though she was in pain at all. Instead, she smiled at me, walked360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOXH0iKSUN
towards the study door, and opened it.

“Evelyn, are you ok?” I asked as the360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qdoEe9NYV
fear and shock I felt made my leg quiver.

“Yes, I am! Fiona. She wants us to360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1p6tlILeo
search the study!” she replied in a hypnotic way and with a horrific smile.

“Who?” I stammered as I looked360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6Nqkko56H
around in fear. Everything about this house is just off.

"The360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT06MFEPttO
girl." Eve replied impatiently. Still with that weird smile on her face. Then she360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm18MWbMRre
added, “The girl that always tells us what to do.”

Then she disappeared into the room.
