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.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5IChkaMDn

"We need to move," I said, my voice low but firm. "Now."135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE88d6Wm514
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWmQ70TWs2
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."135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZkUlePBgL
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8fPhwmhNe
"And if it's locked?" Maya asked, her voice trembling.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqClukfDFTc
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMawodGUNQQ
"It's not," Evelyn said, "Mom is always forgetful, so she leaves the key in the keyhole."135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeRFd7FEuP
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLendC1XqV
We exchanged uneasy glances. Evelyn seemed genuinely confused about what was going on in her own house. Hopefully, she was right about this.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJBTXHI3uP
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphRTuRPiog
"Stay close," I said, stepping toward the door. "And don't stop for anything."135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkeeKwdwO4
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyR5RvQ2N6z
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.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeHkBakhuC
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7n8dbaJQI
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.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zhbTU3OSQ
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp09f8epxSJ
The moans grew louder, and the air grew colder. The creature was following us.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAW8y8Lw1Q9
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MOj5RpHHi
"Faster," I whispered, my heart pounding in my chest.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOfg5XUlg7
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFctXuNr6oh
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.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PdKn7ru6Z
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6hMpkSbuU
"Run!" I shouted, pulling the others forward to get ahead of me, starting with Sasha, Masha, Maya, then Evelyn.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVe8WxJsyb1
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dNrBBmxzL
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."135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMoxx5Lhs6
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLXzhLyVXm
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!"135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjto8IzO48
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSa1or1Fdj0
"Hendrick, no!" Maya screamed, her voice breaking.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5xRNsWBOQ
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CxGl2qJpL
"Just go!" Hendrick snapped, his eyes never leaving the creature. "I'll buy you time!"135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91gxCU4Jvp
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTDvekMm6b
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.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRAR5pZct3
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7T1KmQ4mI
"Go!" he shouted again, his voice strained.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMPuJpJanq
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyeaupBMEo
I grabbed Maya's arm, pulling her away. "We have to go!" I said, my voice tight with urgency.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOsgIQazis
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDiXJGbk2e
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.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhbIT7fwEt

...135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8swWCT6lN
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszOuAkO8S1
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.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxNpkWOJq5
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQgoHhH4KB
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.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2lcOmaVqL
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoUeGypfWL
Another creature stepped out of the shadows, its glowing eyes fixed on us. It was smaller than the first, but no less terrifying.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oZ8KVA8Mr
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYcR5S50DZ
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.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1r34si19Y
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VXhCd1L2R
"What the hell are you guys doing!" Masha shouted, her voice sharp. "Run."135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfd6MNPyhba
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcmAOXZpyC
I hesitated, my heart pounding in my chest. "Masha..."135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdv3Yi8fxQu
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXatNXrtre
"Don't worry," she said, forcing a small smile. "I'm right behind you."135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOlUVe4Eb0
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAEuLTa59t
We started for the door, but the creature grabbed Masha.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIzIVrYunh
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WpnjBxazk
"No!"135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVhtei1fXZ
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1alnTAqt9y
"Keep going!" she insisted, struggling against the creature's grip.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6HLg5cMNF
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUmCIUpAMr
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.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwB2T3m1xI

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.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXeknAa17O
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mneeEhTXj
The sound of the creatures' moans echoed behind us, growing louder with each passing second. They were coming.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIohrW1ryI
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPWlFHqAkQ
"We need to keep moving," I said, my voice tight with urgency.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWNhqCzZgf
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpg0i3qJRZ9
Maya nodded, her face pale but determined. Sasha was silent, her eyes filled with tears. Evelyn looked back at the mansion, her expression unreadable.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwYZN30xYg
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2k3pNQGhoP
"Come on," I said, grabbing her arm. "We can't stop now."135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLBu4HnqIU
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJjhe8zLt6
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.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyiXUWvLiA
