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.246Please respect copyright.PENANAhNDjkiF8M4
246Please respect copyright.PENANAoeO8kWT03N
"We need to move," I said, my voice low but firm. "Now."246Please respect copyright.PENANA1JUbICPwYv
246Please respect copyright.PENANAzGKIA5a66k
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."246Please respect copyright.PENANAxxnw9h0knu
246Please respect copyright.PENANArOG5eGJiG8
"And if it's locked?" Maya asked, her voice trembling.246Please respect copyright.PENANAtGDBHFhopK
246Please respect copyright.PENANA93dH9suBa4
"It's not," Evelyn said, "Mom is always forgetful, so she leaves the key in the keyhole."246Please respect copyright.PENANAiMxvQv588D
246Please respect copyright.PENANASEvvNb3I9r
We exchanged uneasy glances. Evelyn seemed genuinely confused about what was going on in her own house. Hopefully, she was right about this.246Please respect copyright.PENANAeQdYO4SyO0
246Please respect copyright.PENANAOdtikP14cY
"Stay close," I said, stepping toward the door. "And don't stop for anything."246Please respect copyright.PENANAicTMQK1mdi
246Please respect copyright.PENANACw9rDi5EYd
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.246Please respect copyright.PENANADwvMDX4yEJ
246Please respect copyright.PENANAnE3rVanoLl
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.246Please respect copyright.PENANAYgge0u6DQ8
246Please respect copyright.PENANA2QMFhDyRYl
The moans grew louder, and the air grew colder. The creature was following us.246Please respect copyright.PENANAxYqelhnwYZ
246Please respect copyright.PENANAis4uzsUMUg
"Faster," I whispered, my heart pounding in my chest.246Please respect copyright.PENANAw0A8F0fgsC
246Please respect copyright.PENANAgYBnqaaxKY
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.246Please respect copyright.PENANAVagQoVSu5d
246Please respect copyright.PENANAdms1a0RufS
"Run!" I shouted, pulling the others forward to get ahead of me, starting with Sasha, Masha, Maya, then Evelyn.246Please respect copyright.PENANA223T8RUsHG
246Please respect copyright.PENANAdAFZ8oPb8A
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."246Please respect copyright.PENANAjY1Xvl10x0
246Please respect copyright.PENANAUIcYfNp9un
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!"246Please respect copyright.PENANAjchmTn406G
246Please respect copyright.PENANApD2N6nresc
"Hendrick, no!" Maya screamed, her voice breaking.246Please respect copyright.PENANANoOHxosFy7
246Please respect copyright.PENANArZKdahWTmZ
"Just go!" Hendrick snapped, his eyes never leaving the creature. "I'll buy you time!"246Please respect copyright.PENANASvrgr60Te3
246Please respect copyright.PENANAfYl9xLfXvW
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.246Please respect copyright.PENANA8BSWhMpt6Z
246Please respect copyright.PENANAzezGn1XaNk
"Go!" he shouted again, his voice strained.246Please respect copyright.PENANAjcxq5JDUFE
246Please respect copyright.PENANAcbTTduZ0TR
I grabbed Maya's arm, pulling her away. "We have to go!" I said, my voice tight with urgency.246Please respect copyright.PENANA7PbgfsmFXN
246Please respect copyright.PENANACRq46HERF5
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.246Please respect copyright.PENANALx2q1hSWKh
246Please respect copyright.PENANAxthl95z6Lo
...246Please respect copyright.PENANALFMFuu4pfr
246Please respect copyright.PENANAhTzjbLwODd
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.246Please respect copyright.PENANAzTlBmg5arl
246Please respect copyright.PENANAdhbCJR1e3g
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.246Please respect copyright.PENANAA4Va9XK8dm
246Please respect copyright.PENANAXBkWV8XC32
Another creature stepped out of the shadows, its glowing eyes fixed on us. It was smaller than the first, but no less terrifying.246Please respect copyright.PENANAZRKO3aUsj7
246Please respect copyright.PENANA7PxxzfMmvk
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.246Please respect copyright.PENANAM3vNg8WDK0
246Please respect copyright.PENANAQpgrNuQU3c
"What the hell are you guys doing!" Masha shouted, her voice sharp. "Run."246Please respect copyright.PENANAfBXyxFTVRB
246Please respect copyright.PENANA2jXs57mnOq
I hesitated, my heart pounding in my chest. "Masha..."246Please respect copyright.PENANAqyEwbZRJT4
246Please respect copyright.PENANAwofnpLGbVj
"Don't worry," she said, forcing a small smile. "I'm right behind you."246Please respect copyright.PENANAu5nsUbrmjl
246Please respect copyright.PENANAhDqAepOK0c
We started for the door, but the creature grabbed Masha.246Please respect copyright.PENANADvryl4jIpo
246Please respect copyright.PENANAZE1CQD1QHa
"No!"246Please respect copyright.PENANAZIaDOTLbxU
246Please respect copyright.PENANADBD1E3iEs3
"Keep going!" she insisted, struggling against the creature's grip.246Please respect copyright.PENANAO1oKF1Rd1t
246Please respect copyright.PENANAEqEOPNlqLp
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.246Please respect copyright.PENANAGyhQfT8I3Y
246Please respect copyright.PENANAz6HgpGvMeE
...246Please respect copyright.PENANAkJvL8hshE1
246Please respect copyright.PENANAJ55e8hX4IY
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.246Please respect copyright.PENANAtU17j9im0H
246Please respect copyright.PENANAnicSjqrn6v
The sound of the creatures' moans echoed behind us, growing louder with each passing second. They were coming.246Please respect copyright.PENANAgFjIlpapG2
246Please respect copyright.PENANAPO9EtFlcD7
"We need to keep moving," I said, my voice tight with urgency.246Please respect copyright.PENANAkH1zA6mfsv
246Please respect copyright.PENANAHiNPV0reKq
Maya nodded, her face pale but determined. Sasha was silent, her eyes filled with tears. Evelyn looked back at the mansion, her expression unreadable.246Please respect copyright.PENANANvq9vAICie
246Please respect copyright.PENANA83erS1Rxjh
"Come on," I said, grabbing her arm. "We can't stop now."246Please respect copyright.PENANAqA8lkM9hLd
246Please respect copyright.PENANAnicbuxFnGJ
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.246Please respect copyright.PENANAwZSEjl3VI3
