The garden stretched out before us, the moonlight casting long, eerie shadows across the grass. The sound of the creatures' moans echoed behind us, growing louder with each passing second. We ran, our breaths ragged and our hearts pounding, the mansion's gate looming in the distance.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDqvQwMi0E
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDQhtKvE1k
"There!" I shouted, pointing toward the gate. "We're almost there!"129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8J31tTyyzN
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡympiv5ia5X
But as we reached the gate, my heart sank. It was locked, the heavy iron bars unmovable. I grabbed the gate and shook it, but it didn't budge.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xFXhPjjp2
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8WYtGIEDL
"No!" Maya cried, her voice trembling. "What do we do now?"129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JZ3ZxcXIJ
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBCfnCG9Lt
I glanced around, desperation clawing at my chest. The walls surrounding the garden were too high and smooth to climb, and the creatures were closing in fast.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88cWJ3LSMJ
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cwffNNTrg
"We have to go back," Evelyn said, her voice tight with fear. "It's too open out here. We'll be safer inside the mansion."129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15zlAGTgOw
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcthZJzZRA
"Safer?" Sasha snapped, her voice rising with panic. "Are you kidding me? Those things are in there!"129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46gVcN5MCU
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡal5NuBwUbf
"We don't have a choice!" Evelyn shot back, her eyes wide with desperation. "We can't stay here!"129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIIfdsiGct
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqvcgQ4Dbc
The sound of the creatures' moans grew louder, and I turned to see their glowing eyes emerging from the shadows. They were closer than ever.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwtIvO83O8
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eFZOqbz91
"Fine," I said, my voice firm. "Back to the mansion. Now!"129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25QfKl1yDW
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaH2mb5roR
We turned and ran, the creatures hot on our heels. Sasha pulled out her phone, her hands trembling as she tried to call for help. "No service!" she shouted, her voice breaking. "There's no damn service!"129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP742cERwCT
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Y7B4dunxT
"Keep running!" I yelled, grabbing her arm and pulling her forward.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqGF4Uaa96
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWt0EgGaWd
But as we neared the mansion, one of the creatures appeared out of nowhere and lunged toward us. We all dodged, and for a moment, I thought we'd all avoided it. But then I heard Sasha scream. The creature had caught her, its grip like iron. She struggled, her eyes wide with terror.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgSXh9JnDd
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOvzGKT1bt
"Sasha!" I screamed, my voice filled with anguish as the creature's hand pierced through her back, its bloodied claws emerging from her ribs.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvoDZhMffO
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKNpAZVQVZ
I started toward her, but Maya held me back. "Look at her!" she cried, her voice trembling. "We can't help her! We have to keep going!"129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszeJWK3UXY
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KLCtBkBxD
Sasha gasped my name, her voice barely audible over the creature's snarls. "I'm sorry," she whispered, her eyes locking with mine one last time before the creature tore her away.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwCQHrn1W9
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRfX1zevfX
Tears streamed down my face as I turned and ran, Maya pulling me forward. We burst through the mansion's back door and slammed it shut, our breaths coming in ragged gasps.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66wB0OzrdA
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mse5dCrBj
"Where do we go?" Maya asked, her voice tight with fear.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXNjzjTyw2
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOI2yP6xIH
"Upstairs," Evelyn said, her voice trembling. "We'll hide in one of the rooms."129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkFa4owSku
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVu0sDrYKz
We ran up the stairs, the sound of the creatures' footsteps echoing behind us. We reached a room at the end of the hall, and Evelyn pushed the door open, her hands trembling.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcO6n9O78Th
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTOATasI7I
"In here," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEwL8VnkRZ
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTx5Aq3wpLc
We stepped inside, and I closed the door behind us, my heart pounding in my chest. The room was dark, the air heavy with the scent of dust and decay. Evelyn leaned against the wall, her face pale and her eyes wide with fear.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENQ2GbtlXl
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVJakHRcFL
"I think… I think my father might be responsible for all this," she said, her voice trembling. "He's always been obsessed with preserving the past. He couldn't let go of my grandparents. He must've found a way to bring them back... as those things."129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSkPig1wMr
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3EAWWg8Xf
Before I could respond, the door shuddered, the sound of claws scraping against wood filling the room. The creatures were outside, their guttural moans growing louder.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczq13pmJNb
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSblG981GP
"We need to barricade the door!" I said, my voice tight with urgency.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eMIsxH9qh
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwS7hp75nns
But before we could move, the door burst open, and a creature's hand shot through the gap, its claws digging into Evelyn's arm. She screamed, her eyes wide with terror as the creature pulled her outside.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2G2FwOV1t3
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZ94Oi8WBN
"Aargh!" Maya screamed.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYQl3lDQ8q
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAuQhueN0J
I grabbed Evelyn's other arm, pulling with all my strength, but the creature was too strong. Its claws dug deeper into her flesh, and she let out a bloodcurdling scream as it yanked her through the door and out of my grip.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOsDFBASqm
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHI8zG83zG
The sound of her screams echoed through the hallway, growing fainter and fainter until they were swallowed by the darkness.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxRHlb6BLx
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5U1XNvtCQ
Maya and I stood frozen, our breaths coming in ragged gasps. The creatures were just outside, their snarls filling the air. We had nowhere left to run.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXd7L9pZHha
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXvkZ09lAB
"The closet," I said, my voice tight with urgency. "We'll hide in the closet."129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEWxmEqajH
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLqpCd5c0E
We ran to the closet and stepped inside, closing the door behind us. The air was thick with the scent of dust and fear, the sound of the creatures' moans growing louder outside.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyJILXWJu6
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZH2TtFm1dh
"I'm sorry," Maya whispered, her voice trembling. "For everything. For not believing you. For not being there when you needed me."129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWfdqxrECM
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsWykKbn9A
I hesitated, my heart pounding in my chest. I could feel Maya's tears against my shoulder, her body shaking with silent sobs. For a moment, the weight of everything we'd been through pressed down on us—the addiction, the fights, the distance that had grown between us.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT52YGOOyFJ
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYvN9gHsVm
"I forgive you," I said finally, my voice soft but steady. "And I'm sorry too. For pushing you away. For not trusting you."129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoJAsMQcUC
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzS7lpgUnQf
Maya let out a choked sob, her arms tightening around me. We hugged each other tightly, the warmth of our embrace a stark contrast to the cold, dark closet. For a moment, it felt like nothing else mattered—not the monsters outside, not the mansion, not the horrors we'd faced. It was just the two of us, as it had always been.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZWPZPJ75B
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXxRf1xgIM
But then the sound came again—a low, guttural moan, closer than ever. The monsters were right outside the door.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioneUG6HYv
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDrYpPWyOl
I closed my eyes, holding Maya tighter. "Whatever happens," I whispered, "I'm glad we're together."129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CeQCCXsye
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9yzmPmnlX
Maya nodded, her tears soaking into my shirt. "Me too."129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3B7lPSLcw
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZ6kItaBWM
The sound of the monsters grew louder, their claws scraping against the door. Maya and I held our breath, our hearts pounding in unison.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRW2F9Imytn
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0HlrEq9LQ
And then, silence.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPd0kg5Aa0p
