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.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmNXowtxBU
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wkKvbKn85
"There!" I shouted, pointing toward the gate. "We're almost there!"93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtMn4BEe5e
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mDefxcqp5
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.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZPWbol7zh
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmLCN1kzy4
"No!" Maya cried, her voice trembling. "What do we do now?"93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlhnEZslEu
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡre2f8Leaqs
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.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ASBrqm2JL
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUxHtS9JlK
"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."93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUB7WhKMlu
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKcDtDtXSn
"Safer?" Sasha snapped, her voice rising with panic. "Are you kidding me? Those things are in there!"93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXSIYU65SE
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjiDbXkGni
"We don't have a choice!" Evelyn shot back, her eyes wide with desperation. "We can't stay here!"93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFdU5Sma1u
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6yLf9ErAc
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.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsr7aOtOi5
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVT1zbhNbB
"Fine," I said, my voice firm. "Back to the mansion. Now!"93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR80uFYpBM2
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRelqteOxt
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!"93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcNp3YbrPZ
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnDlpPCDqj
"Keep running!" I yelled, grabbing her arm and pulling her forward.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VJdkesHoU
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAdQdmDIOH
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.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjC8yGFVHX
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbll7gMZnTS
"Sasha!" I screamed, my voice filled with anguish as the creature's hand pierced through her back, its bloodied claws emerging from her ribs.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23yF0umjfC
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdI0FoiWLvi
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!"93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCofND2SxV
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg73a3KF9Jh
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.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTieNfRWEN
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8hdFu74iQ
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.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYDjiZS4pW
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmj4juQ3HbU
"Where do we go?" Maya asked, her voice tight with fear.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kkSS84cRN
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKV75i7oils
"Upstairs," Evelyn said, her voice trembling. "We'll hide in one of the rooms."93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNQ4RGdDd8
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzKPaL3ZwY
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.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdGlU5bive
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdpC9zLBcA
"In here," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hkCe2viwv
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWSbmfv8RN
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.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6P1952DnxH
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SSWG7BRsR
"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."93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8kDDn6wTL
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjJa4CRa4h
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.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiFkTyhatY
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJkfYPD4wy
"We need to barricade the door!" I said, my voice tight with urgency.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7z5oZkI09x
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQul90eYEZ7
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.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblx5H4l7rT
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHriPVWZmTB
"Aargh!" Maya screamed.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJ1pwGooXw
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYPhqXPY2v
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.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZRJC4f7Ja
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftiU2e77N2
The sound of her screams echoed through the hallway, growing fainter and fainter until they were swallowed by the darkness.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwApT4jw16
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7kurqjlKa
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.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlstc9x9Tl
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7w5E1MA4y
"The closet," I said, my voice tight with urgency. "We'll hide in the closet."93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5MByRqghC
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FeYNi4425
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.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDngXUAHV70
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnHtmqLJ1a
"I'm sorry," Maya whispered, her voice trembling. "For everything. For not believing you. For not being there when you needed me."93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ubR06DNGE
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98yZiaI0vW
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.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8Aa3WJZgV
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47AXidNtXd
"I forgive you," I said finally, my voice soft but steady. "And I'm sorry too. For pushing you away. For not trusting you."93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhzt4qbY9I
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcPgGVjB9T
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.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLtBroLFaw
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfwTB64p6P
But then the sound came again—a low, guttural moan, closer than ever. The monsters were right outside the door.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yW4oDIfbK
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsUvNDKUCi
I closed my eyes, holding Maya tighter. "Whatever happens," I whispered, "I'm glad we're together."93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvN7acmnHn
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaM5Wb1ee1
Maya nodded, her tears soaking into my shirt. "Me too."93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOeliQiaCA
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtq5avsT6WZ
The sound of the monsters grew louder, their claws scraping against the door. Maya and I held our breath, our hearts pounding in unison.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoC5ivxMcI
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlxZ9sRAwE
And then, silence.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZXmaNed1b
