The air was thick with tension as the group huddled in the walk-in closet, the faint hum of the mansion's ancient air conditioning drowned out by the guttural moans echoing through the halls. Hendrick stood by the door, his bloodied hands gripping the clothes hanger like a weapon. His face was pale, but his eyes were sharp, focused.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5JDYGW29Z

"We need to move," I said, my voice low but firm. "Now."119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHudu8mrWXe
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8Wj6GI8We
Evelyn nodded, her usual confidence replaced by a quiet determination. "My mom's room is down the hall. There's a back door that leads to the garden. We can get out that way."119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Wo9oKDsjH
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzr9xBAxOkD
"And if it's locked?" Maya asked, her voice trembling.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAPWLdisUa
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbLeTpHUGj
"It's not," Evelyn said, "Mom is always forgetful, so she leaves the key in the keyhole."119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpAHAZr0PE
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1h7H6lyssA
We exchanged uneasy glances. Evelyn seemed genuinely confused about what was going on in her own house. Hopefully, she was right about this.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBwoOH3OhJ
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoO5GXGUsag
"Stay close," I said, stepping toward the door. "And don't stop for anything."119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIUqkE80tM
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOWd8Bn0PB
I opened the door slowly, peering into the hallway. The shadows seemed to shift and twist, the faint sound of footsteps echoing in the distance. The creature was close—too close.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprrMigFFzD
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXSKpTKYVi
We moved as one, our footsteps soft but hurried. Evelyn led the way, her familiarity with the mansion guiding us through the labyrinth of hallways. Hendrick brought up the rear, his eyes darting nervously behind us.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDzWqUZ4sB
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwkWUOuWPC
The moans grew louder, and the air grew colder. The creature was following us.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3qSYsQICR
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfnW8a12ko
"Faster," I whispered, my heart pounding in my chest.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxUyjBlnEU
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVS8cQwkYd
We turned a corner, and the hallway seemed to stretch on forever. The sound of the creature's footsteps grew louder, closer. I glanced over my shoulder and saw it—a hunched, humanoid figure with glowing eyes and a grotesque snarl. It was gaining on us.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3S7EVegap
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAQXVZyPPi
"Run!" I shouted, pulling the others forward to get ahead of me, starting with Sasha, Masha, Maya, then Evelyn.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHwHCZI3Fx
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAFiO6Enr2
But Evelyn froze, her eyes wide with terror as she stared at the creature. "No," she whispered, her voice barely audible. "It's… it's Grandpa."119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCioSxIQ4N9
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipIRAPcOXX
Hendrick didn't hesitate. He stepped in front of Evelyn, his clothes hanger raised like a weapon. "Go!" he shouted, his voice firm. "I'll hold it off!"119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPS580yrZRG
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGudRHKPKon
"Hendrick, no!" Maya screamed, her voice breaking.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAqsO4MHhY
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYaJWbAXrj
"Just go!" Hendrick snapped, his eyes never leaving the creature. "I'll buy you time!"119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2erOTZbtV
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpcJD8CYUF
The creature lunged, its claws slashing through the air. Hendrick swung the hanger, the metal clanging against the creature's arm. It roared, a sound that sent shivers down my spine, but Hendrick stood his ground, his face pale but determined.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupuC8ZmdD4
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tAoiYXr9P
"Go!" he shouted again, his voice strained.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjHRUEKMVK
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAXQvWYB5v
I grabbed Maya's arm, pulling her away. "We have to go!" I said, my voice tight with urgency.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUFFMj9GlT
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHolscW8cED
Maya hesitated, her eyes filled with tears, but she nodded. We ran, a loud defiant scream from Hendrick coming from behind us. I didn't look back. I couldn't.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmePKKYlAx5

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31xBpYZ5Gb
We reached Evelyn's mom's room, the door slightly ajar. Evelyn pushed it open, her hands trembling. "This way," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZw95rC4Wy
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvjZXuoa5k
The room was dark, the air heavy with the scent of dust and decay. The back door was visible at the far end, but before we could move, a low, guttural moan filled the room.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2orIdRcdL
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHpWxEtRgH
Another creature stepped out of the shadows, its glowing eyes fixed on us. It was smaller than the first, but no less terrifying.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfibC5maiyr
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRn4c1VU6cW
Masha quickly grabbed a lamp from a nearby table and hurled it at the creature, the glass shattering against its chest. The creature seemed unaffected by Masha's move, roaring instead, its attention fully on Masha.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwL6YvAs6fx
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqHgoq2Y0j
"What the hell are you guys doing!" Masha shouted, her voice sharp. "Run."119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhrkVGdgSx
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutwJFPJv1x
I hesitated, my heart pounding in my chest. "Masha..."119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIaSbOXYNu
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvQJPXOkcY
"Don't worry," she said, forcing a small smile. "I'm right behind you."119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItDXKLMWel
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWhvQQz5fX
We started for the door, but the creature grabbed Masha.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYTNUqYmew
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡci2gHaONSs
"No!"119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8uKnNDS7Q
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBtyoflvl9
"Keep going!" she insisted, struggling against the creature's grip.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzUIXvEtRp
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4igBYk5ocD
And so we did. I glanced over my shoulder just in time to see the creature lunging at her, its claws slashing through the air. Masha didn't scream. She just looked at us, her eyes filled with a quiet resolve, and a small smile on her face just before the creature's claws tears into her sternum, separating her body in two.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXd77r4WPj

We burst through the back door, the cool night air hitting us like a slap. The garden stretched out before us, the moonlight casting long, eerie shadows across the grass. But the relief was short-lived.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7upP7IEcE
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsBSzqqJCA
The sound of the creatures' moans echoed behind us, growing louder with each passing second. They were coming.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfV9rk5i5eO
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ56uusW73h
"We need to keep moving," I said, my voice tight with urgency.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVck38GNBBW
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7mIClqTeE
Maya nodded, her face pale but determined. Sasha was silent, her eyes filled with tears. Evelyn looked back at the mansion, her expression unreadable.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMXG0sJtms
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG82UP96rMo
"Come on," I said, grabbing her arm. "We can't stop now."119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXzTW5pHdb
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJLpa4EAD8
We ran, the sound of the creatures' footsteps echoing behind us. The garden seemed to stretch on forever, the shadows twisting and shifting as if alive. But we didn't stop. We couldn't.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFj0nsSg7R
