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.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJVoRbuHVv

"We need to move," I said, my voice low but firm. "Now."124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQXlUVoRZG
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQGSFJkwPn
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."124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwblODcvB2O
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIeL7eNY1p
"And if it's locked?" Maya asked, her voice trembling.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDG7eGKp8w
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bbaybByF8
"It's not," Evelyn said, "Mom is always forgetful, so she leaves the key in the keyhole."124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4BqwU1er8
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5OubnChn5
We exchanged uneasy glances. Evelyn seemed genuinely confused about what was going on in her own house. Hopefully, she was right about this.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0lj934feP
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDQh9B0CU9
"Stay close," I said, stepping toward the door. "And don't stop for anything."124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1pdYexuxG
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7yPNAAJks
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.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1JJMzwjh4
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYE7JpRAljR
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.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qPVwCdg4u
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4ZZMoG084
The moans grew louder, and the air grew colder. The creature was following us.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyqrXllFIj
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdW6FSktNE
"Faster," I whispered, my heart pounding in my chest.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lCmrJB80Z
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTx0oegeGwV
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.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIO4V8yZtI8
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJqjUhGu0I
"Run!" I shouted, pulling the others forward to get ahead of me, starting with Sasha, Masha, Maya, then Evelyn.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0nbApMpII
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycoyj1OkVd
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."124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVprE35Q32I
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvZYQtiyEj
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!"124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYYBILYpuh
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5lSLkjCXQ
"Hendrick, no!" Maya screamed, her voice breaking.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVerp7noCXJ
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oRk14vLfn
"Just go!" Hendrick snapped, his eyes never leaving the creature. "I'll buy you time!"124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWJz26TbXW
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9m3GFBLdQj
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.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeaJG0cumf
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ljVI4R2Zz
"Go!" he shouted again, his voice strained.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvefRm0HR1X
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjfRhsHoOP
I grabbed Maya's arm, pulling her away. "We have to go!" I said, my voice tight with urgency.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipezxuAUMH
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBI6gY67tCc
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.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzTJfkESKg

124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdB4kYJfl46
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.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZRQAoSu55
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBLZSdBGvv
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.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vtpgIOmyN
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguGRrfGIyY
Another creature stepped out of the shadows, its glowing eyes fixed on us. It was smaller than the first, but no less terrifying.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr59GZD6L3g
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXdHoLnBE8
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.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mpRt4KdJz
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMMQeUqXCw
"What the hell are you guys doing!" Masha shouted, her voice sharp. "Run."124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidxhuQFAB6
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHONvXm6eEf
I hesitated, my heart pounding in my chest. "Masha..."124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX29elIVOz7
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyJY6uxYKm
"Don't worry," she said, forcing a small smile. "I'm right behind you."124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxEjpuDI2I
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DYN1nxesd
We started for the door, but the creature grabbed Masha.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqfEuxYpi7
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNN5nWsjDZ
"No!"124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMA0JHEVsI
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFhk9ZtRCk
"Keep going!" she insisted, struggling against the creature's grip.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xZyS19K9g
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbufFdHmaa
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.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmxms1iqv8

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.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgDvkfTEbS
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZhLwS2Qlf
The sound of the creatures' moans echoed behind us, growing louder with each passing second. They were coming.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWsstRDfm9
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoZB1DNiv2
"We need to keep moving," I said, my voice tight with urgency.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZCHt0OWoJ
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeRpwjOTuL
Maya nodded, her face pale but determined. Sasha was silent, her eyes filled with tears. Evelyn looked back at the mansion, her expression unreadable.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYVh41GXBc
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqvrwzAYxv
"Come on," I said, grabbing her arm. "We can't stop now."124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHENvIsY1dt
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfE5Zcrf3Mq
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.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSQf6yd0T4
