The living room was dimly lit, the only sound the faint hum of the mansion's ancient air conditioning. We sat in a loose circle on the floor, the tension in the room so thick it felt like it could suffocate us. Hendrick had suggested a game to pass the time while we waited for Evelyn to return with groceries. It was supposed to be fun, but the way he smirked as he shuffled the deck told me this was anything but.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTnm3GlNlV
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9F3XuXa6h
"Alright," Hendrick said, his voice dripping with mockery. "Truth or Dare. No backing out."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWh0ymnbTq
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosw8xGgq3V
"Seriously?" I said, raising an eyebrow. "We're not twelve."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfU2mT52Yi
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV808ihKVpG
"Come on," Hendrick shot back, his grin widening. "Don't tell me you're scared."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3jrmUIXov
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3JWCw9siB
"I'm not scared," I snapped. "I just think it's stupid."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQLWtKodvJ
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ928Nggluct
"Then it shouldn't be a problem," Hendrick said, dealing the cards with a flick of his wrist. His eyes gleamed with mischief as he turned to Maya. "You're up first. Truth or Dare?"826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyJXrODsNU
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxi04xqXo8
Maya hesitated, glancing at me before answering. "Truth," she said, her voice quiet.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXircUqFStX
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRI0y1VjKsC
Hendrick leaned forward, his smirk stretching across his face. "Do you really think your sister's been clean since rehab?"826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLbnTe6NoL
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ABdBBoGO7
The room fell silent. Maya's eyes widened, and she glanced at me, her expression torn. "I… I don't know," she said finally.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnY3K3FgtH
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMUEGCCC3B
"Maya," I said, my voice sharp. "You know I haven't relapsed."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSnycSzEcN
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm07t9pXoN5
"Do I?" Maya shot back, her tone defensive. "You've been so distant lately. How am I supposed to know what you're doing?"826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uUiQ51ws2
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1R9s8FXdGa
"Because I'm your sister," I said, my voice rising. "You're supposed to trust me."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2N4ymCeXK
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4qjrVW40E
"Trust you?" Maya said, her voice shaking. "You're the one who pushed me away. You're the one who stopped coming to the clubhouse. How am I supposed to trust you when you won't even talk to me?"826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF55RUKH9JR
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5U0dAG3GxG
The room was silent, the tension thick enough to cut with a knife. Hendrick leaned back, a satisfied smirk on his face. "Looks like we hit a nerve."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJJ4uRMtnN
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOf17jo6t4c
"Shut up, Hendrick," I snapped, my hands clenched into fists. "This is your fault."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxUpF3xDfy
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXuwUBcGJ1
"My fault?" Hendrick said, his tone mocking. "I'm not the one who's been avoiding everyone. I'm not the one who's been lying."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesGJPOHMR9
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYDbsrLPUR
"I haven't been lying!" I shouted, my voice echoing through the room.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9KZWX8Psf
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkmYrojpIb
"Prove it," Hendrick said, his eyes narrowing. "It's Maya's turn now. How about you let her pat you down as a dare? If you've got nothing to hide, it shouldn't be a problem."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSp1oqY1VIe
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXT8ILK5LxD
"You're unbelievable," I said, my voice low with anger. "I never agreed to a dare, and I'm not doing this regardless."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DeHfiGqjl
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jmoETQ6Tl
"Why not?" Maya said, her voice trembling. "If you've got nothing to hide, why won't you let me?"826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSZsfLil0Y
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKVcVSQUQR
I stared at her, my heart sinking. "You're really going to side with him?"826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5JQYmiUQ5
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QlHKOtskb
Maya hesitated, her eyes flicking between me and Hendrick. "I just… I need to know."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKg3zaRCMwK
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwXDUo0DqJ
"Fine," I said, my voice cold. "Do it."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzQtDPD58p
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Tpa6v7Iam
Maya stepped forward, her hands shaking as she patted me down. The room was silent, the tension unbearable. She pulled a cigarette from the front pocket of my overalls and eyed me suspiciously.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAsRUepLD7
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHscyXf4DO
"That's not an addiction," I said defensively.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFcpJsusew
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iipmkWpSR
"Isn't it?" Maya argued, her voice rising. "Because this is how it begins. First it's cigarettes, then it's alcohol, and then it's hard drugs. I've seen it before."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1oZCXItVJ
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RpGPoLXck
"Maya," I started, but before I could say anything else, a sound cut through the silence—a low, guttural moan coming from somewhere deep in the mansion.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbhFoXxo4f
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjp7m5lgeNI
"What is that sound?" Masha said, her voice low but filled with terror.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tbP9jKj2Z
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8jybPDQzn
The moan came again, louder this time, and the air seemed to grow colder. I glanced around the room, my heart pounding. "Guys," I said, my voice tight. "Where are Martin and Hendrick?"826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Gv6mL03Yr
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzxWweQkfG
We got up and looked around the living room, the eerie silence amplifying our unease. "Babe?!" Maya shouted, her voice trembling as she searched for Hendrick.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbHh7kOHnH
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchmDzH2pru
"Martin!" Sasha called out, her tone growing more frantic with each passing second.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pLh1sB4wW
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dRP9YdyC5
But instead of a response, we were met with a loud, piercing scream that echoed from the direction of the study. My stomach dropped, and I glanced at Masha, who shared the same wide-eyed expression of dread.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcLGwhRQPA
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkYpq8wf6A
Sasha started toward the study, but I quickly grabbed her arm, shaking my head. My eyes pleaded with her not to follow the sound. She hesitated, her face pale, but before she could argue, a heavy thud reverberated through the mansion, followed by footsteps—slow, deliberate, and growing louder with each step.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSiPj74CdB
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQR3Hu8pOj
Sasha's hand found mine, our fingers interlocking as we braced ourselves for whatever was coming. The footsteps grew closer, echoing through the hallway like a countdown to disaster.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMJ2TkkAnx
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aRXJMpr9h
Footsteps.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOC2ekOj2bf

Footsteps.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRrFna8LFH
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMt1l3MJt2
The door swung open, and my heart froze for a beat. But it wasn't a monster that emerged—it was Hendrick, his face pale and his clothes splattered with dark, drying blood. His hands trembled as he clutched the doorframe, his breathing ragged.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Xm0fY9fSV
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdZCYlQ6t2
"Oh my god!" Masha yelped, her voice barely above a whisper.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNt262mCgaU
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVbVHCQgYb
Maya rushed to his side, her hands trembling as she reached for him. "Babe…" she started, her voice breaking. "What the hell happened?"826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPXgTcfkJJ
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNvIzFGbFx
"That's not my blood," Hendrick said, his tone low and hollow, as if he were speaking from somewhere far away.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTel0bKBAl2
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt026CW6In7
Sasha's eyes darted toward the study, her voice trembling as she asked, "Where's Martin?"826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgHqKnmpWk
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkzCgyriEz
Hendrick hesitated, his gaze dropping to the floor. "I… I couldn't stop it," he said, his voice barely audible.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4jy9v0MWS
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyc7MhS5kD
"Couldn't stop what?" Sasha demanded, her voice rising.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTH1d6daGI
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsU3pJJ8Mr
"Martin is… dead," Hendrick said, the words hanging heavy in the air.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9Smzab8Nq
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDq25x6tCtL
Sasha let out a shaky laugh, her voice trembling as she shook her head. "No," she said, her tone desperate. "You two are just pulling a prank on us. This isn't funny."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEuHF4aByZ
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhgAVqdhx6
She started for the study, her voice cracking as she called out, "Martin?" But I grabbed her arm, holding her back. Something in Hendrick's expression told me this wasn't a joke.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeShCB2y9P
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSvho4Dzlo
"Let me go," Sasha said, her voice firm but trembling. I shook my head, my grip tightening. "Let me go!" she shouted, her voice breaking as she began hitting my chest. "Why won't you let me go?!"826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2EoJLpXaZ
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFhf0P4yDO
Her fists pounded against me, each blow weaker than the last until she finally broke down, collapsing into sobs. I pulled her close, holding her tightly as she cried into my shoulder, her body shaking with grief.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73p9zBYs5n
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEtr0YDpoN
The room was silent except for Sasha's muffled sobs. Hendrick stood frozen, his face pale and his hands trembling. Maya stared at him, her expression a mix of fear and disbelief. Masha hovered nearby, her eyes wide with terror.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMafxSyviY
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjQbJDuX47
Finally, Hendrick broke the silence, his voice low and urgent. "We need to get out of here."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xqWq2I2ai
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd99S6EMloF
The words hung in the air, sharp and final. Sasha's sobs quieted, and she pulled away from me, her face streaked with tears. Maya stared at Hendrick, her expression a mix of fear and something else.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8cqq1ANNB
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAY4CGlhgb
I nodded, my heart pounding. "Let's go. Now."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBAeyQyHKa
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusjmaSyj2N
We moved as one, rushing toward the front door. The mansion seemed to close in around us, the shadows stretching and twisting as if alive. The air grew colder with each step, and the faint hum of the air conditioning was replaced by an eerie silence.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXagyQsE2y
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUygePDmiDO
Hendrick reached the door first, his bloodied hands grabbed the handle then twisted and pulled, but the door didn't budge. He yanked harder, his face pale. "It's stuck."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9bviDgaWZ
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxHKvDPK9E
"Move," I said, pushing past him. I grabbed the handle and pulled with all my strength, but the door didn't budge. My stomach dropped. "It's locked."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwwmT3M3We
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCS32noUtl
"Evelyn has the keys," Masha said, her voice trembling. "She's not back yet."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7eN8YBVgp
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrq6HJMYRsr
"Then we break it down," Hendrick said, his tone desperate. He stepped back and kicked the door, the sound echoing through the mansion. The door didn't move.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyqgTj9IlN
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlATyMxaDoM
"Stop!" Maya said, her voice sharp. "You're going to attract whatever's that is."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXwvO1wgne
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqOYcaNuX5
Hendrick froze, his face pale. The room fell silent, the weight of our situation pressing down on us. We were trapped.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrh80vJo7y
