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.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWV2JQLAASk
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiUtwdzSN5
"Alright," Hendrick said, his voice dripping with mockery. "Truth or Dare. No backing out."824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwIhC5vyrn
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufdODHWHT3
"Seriously?" I said, raising an eyebrow. "We're not twelve."824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX71cumz6O4
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehm3Su96fV
"Come on," Hendrick shot back, his grin widening. "Don't tell me you're scared."824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBHmJ6NDkj
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuop7m2iSc
"I'm not scared," I snapped. "I just think it's stupid."824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1dy54NsbL
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5cJm27XW8
"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?"824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedsKKFv4ms
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNiaBQoQYl
Maya hesitated, glancing at me before answering. "Truth," she said, her voice quiet.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0NSe7D3V2
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjfhNrpgIp
Hendrick leaned forward, his smirk stretching across his face. "Do you really think your sister's been clean since rehab?"824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgzM26fIdB
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNsIjIqYUn
The room fell silent. Maya's eyes widened, and she glanced at me, her expression torn. "I… I don't know," she said finally.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTf2XOoQ4es
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXFniAmrSV
"Maya," I said, my voice sharp. "You know I haven't relapsed."824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXoBp5g70q
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2F7VFEf1S
"Do I?" Maya shot back, her tone defensive. "You've been so distant lately. How am I supposed to know what you're doing?"824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrDSVbtYwM
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnMUfbhHtO
"Because I'm your sister," I said, my voice rising. "You're supposed to trust me."824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHQWtNDFCQ
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsKOtQF2CU
"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?"824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiYlbKJzIl
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPfu5dHOmS
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."824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsl11qdvReI
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUI6daMGvB
"Shut up, Hendrick," I snapped, my hands clenched into fists. "This is your fault."824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGACsw9zV8
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyXzaSlnyK
"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."824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8iHkjaXBI
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8o1HXf3Mj
"I haven't been lying!" I shouted, my voice echoing through the room.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyPSSHNTUD
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MKsBvi4HP
"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."824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlrfTTESAD
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqT2gGYnKBj
"You're unbelievable," I said, my voice low with anger. "I never agreed to a dare, and I'm not doing this regardless."824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUWAXZwIJm
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOn0FLFG3ps
"Why not?" Maya said, her voice trembling. "If you've got nothing to hide, why won't you let me?"824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yDpAzBs3m
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59Wtm0h474
I stared at her, my heart sinking. "You're really going to side with him?"824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAcMcYMHUv
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqsMn76Mx5
Maya hesitated, her eyes flicking between me and Hendrick. "I just… I need to know."824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvorhDIAtT
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgy9ECxnCbt
"Fine," I said, my voice cold. "Do it."824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyQzHED2zP
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFt4PCpnDw
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.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7K4mnOdZFT
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwfA2EkGDk
"That's not an addiction," I said defensively.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6DK2AqXpc
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuTmmZ30qs
"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."824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycHxzPWnSG
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuo1JqTUrM
"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.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2NxgtnQ6r
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIbUmSDKLC
"What is that sound?" Masha said, her voice low but filled with terror.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyOgNGRODV
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbQI52nQlj
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?"824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr15DRTpvkp
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BG8g44g64
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.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWTxYb8ooK
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IetbkCtDe
"Martin!" Sasha called out, her tone growing more frantic with each passing second.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8slyYzhjS
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABSVMYd7AW
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.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFE9I1HYT9
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kVqW6rlPM
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.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4waj73narZ
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEPgTeA9em
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.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3hW2WsILe
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgsQGEN7GR
Footsteps.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8RDooPiac

Footsteps.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsCQTY0wza
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbXerOsMqL
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.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1S1HjjOxN
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXusJaki6wM
"Oh my god!" Masha yelped, her voice barely above a whisper.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KwyqQMoou
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYcabTeLYa
Maya rushed to his side, her hands trembling as she reached for him. "Babe…" she started, her voice breaking. "What the hell happened?"824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpNcHJD1As
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nx9YYcmjJ
"That's not my blood," Hendrick said, his tone low and hollow, as if he were speaking from somewhere far away.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBHGGGrjH5
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRYde0JVz8
Sasha's eyes darted toward the study, her voice trembling as she asked, "Where's Martin?"824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYKURhgWMR
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53pwbt8FiK
Hendrick hesitated, his gaze dropping to the floor. "I… I couldn't stop it," he said, his voice barely audible.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4q2W3miz5F
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6rGQ4jVp7
"Couldn't stop what?" Sasha demanded, her voice rising.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7GWRiaKMw
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3h6JEPxheE
"Martin is… dead," Hendrick said, the words hanging heavy in the air.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZrByjYGNY
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0s0eS5YCHV
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."824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bseRgOZVF
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapWJymnsIO
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.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvxEAVJEHv
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9F0tAZlSB
"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?!"824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DnS8q8GKB
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPsjwfnB0m
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.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmR7SazTIa1
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsp1IUPMBF9
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.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7uEwWrtux
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJPdX1DP4u
Finally, Hendrick broke the silence, his voice low and urgent. "We need to get out of here."824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KND1qTctx
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvFR24uh7m
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.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iiICSnRoq
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kaNmpts1w
I nodded, my heart pounding. "Let's go. Now."824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6qoZeaIY2
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeZnFYWr98
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.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ji5JMZ5eg
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMcRuWkA6N
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."824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpvPEKfKQQ
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMFvU0EWmg
"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."824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QfE6DqVYQ
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRZtf4szzq
"Evelyn has the keys," Masha said, her voice trembling. "She's not back yet."824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80tkiJ1b6W
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadBRlGizSs
"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.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZFUItPnh7
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviALwr2aiD
"Stop!" Maya said, her voice sharp. "You're going to attract whatever's that is."824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbxXdr9CQJ
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeO4Hi8BOm
Hendrick froze, his face pale. The room fell silent, the weight of our situation pressing down on us. We were trapped.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDAgE0JoVR
