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.105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3c8LMKU9zU

"We need to move," I said, my voice low but firm. "Now."105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYMR3ie0Ol
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSIxQaRQXM
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."105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yn52YiuSZ
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡav88c9y02B
"And if it's locked?" Maya asked, her voice trembling.105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6de9wHLvk2
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtGkLHNZlC
"It's not," Evelyn said, "Mom is always forgetful, so she leaves the key in the keyhole."105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0jUyngw7p
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqJy1apxdC
We exchanged uneasy glances. Evelyn seemed genuinely confused about what was going on in her own house. Hopefully, she was right about this.105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5Y1OqKxn4
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniZ0jAxtHv
"Stay close," I said, stepping toward the door. "And don't stop for anything."105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEOsYSeJe8
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYRAo9PKON
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.105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPDwWKKFGG
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvLWhHKqyL
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.105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTUVqSu3fZ
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9o1osMN4j
The moans grew louder, and the air grew colder. The creature was following us.105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWFQaIJIR7
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lFpGYnwqs
"Faster," I whispered, my heart pounding in my chest.105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrssDT6Z97
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFm3lrC7xjo
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.105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cxl5sRlal
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztQXS894sv
"Run!" I shouted, pulling the others forward to get ahead of me, starting with Sasha, Masha, Maya, then Evelyn.105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZGGXp6PH7
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6WIFRPJlU
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."105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxzPKrrK1D
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ05eWjoPGL
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!"105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAmjLQk8m7
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkjhTPcPSb
"Hendrick, no!" Maya screamed, her voice breaking.105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZu7wdn4pB
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Z6VoACfj7
"Just go!" Hendrick snapped, his eyes never leaving the creature. "I'll buy you time!"105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxiy7gSI9M
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxxPH667rg
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.105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58Ran2OrlX
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvf69sxiuj
"Go!" he shouted again, his voice strained.105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVUxTIVPXJ
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wqpzDnbg7
I grabbed Maya's arm, pulling her away. "We have to go!" I said, my voice tight with urgency.105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRQmYzxUlk
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkD8mjUBRmS
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.105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCfX6YciIb

...105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtkcsS8lB8
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvocSIF8uPS
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.105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZy9xoWoVd
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmP7lF6BB8
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.105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMDuXGxiW3
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIynkEXFa7
Another creature stepped out of the shadows, its glowing eyes fixed on us. It was smaller than the first, but no less terrifying.105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhp4QdZ0NY
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANbUV6sFiM
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.105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdrLCuKJce
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMrGDZKnW0
"What the hell are you guys doing!" Masha shouted, her voice sharp. "Run."105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoiMjmlNGe
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoRWmislNi
I hesitated, my heart pounding in my chest. "Masha..."105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4y8oxaVo54
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJiV0GiJmU
"Don't worry," she said, forcing a small smile. "I'm right behind you."105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplFN9ELGMX
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWh7Xqmai9q
We started for the door, but the creature grabbed Masha.105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZAGEyvVxH
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVaooKZ30b
"No!"105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡut3EqAgI75
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjsljRDGcv
"Keep going!" she insisted, struggling against the creature's grip.105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqd1GlcQUz6
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpUhmSGOXe
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.105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPiwvoZFty

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.105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUydNemEqif
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lEhYec9yn
The sound of the creatures' moans echoed behind us, growing louder with each passing second. They were coming.105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGutdOfzuw
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1fH0j97Tc
"We need to keep moving," I said, my voice tight with urgency.105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorTl2ZewwY
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zjDcGdknC
Maya nodded, her face pale but determined. Sasha was silent, her eyes filled with tears. Evelyn looked back at the mansion, her expression unreadable.105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tx1OcCABM
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74biHg4b0g
"Come on," I said, grabbing her arm. "We can't stop now."105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvH8gcECfuO
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0KOC2kheY
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.105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjTV7Mze0g
