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.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6SPqze0my
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcV7iVDCUU
"There!" I shouted, pointing toward the gate. "We're almost there!"236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPn8RukdwW
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2LvUxLM0q
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.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83TJ9T0ek7
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQint4smQfE
"No!" Maya cried, her voice trembling. "What do we do now?"236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkr2n7TXp5
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfVagplGgq
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.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNth58WNiJ
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaL0s6zdyeJ
"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."236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2nzvnjg5I
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1N3dMKb8tv
"Safer?" Sasha snapped, her voice rising with panic. "Are you kidding me? Those things are in there!"236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvZNQTYInc
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgdlAIym2j
"We don't have a choice!" Evelyn shot back, her eyes wide with desperation. "We can't stay here!"236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8PvNjymGp
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHW2ZQ8r09S
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.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnyeGmYgyW
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopdXKTtpyR
"Fine," I said, my voice firm. "Back to the mansion. Now!"236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFNAJEbWEf
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGujgulvgI
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!"236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdBQhGjQwV
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkGhmsGBXW
"Keep running!" I yelled, grabbing her arm and pulling her forward.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIYNEtvBnp
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHLNNxfAqf
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.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgnYEgroXJ
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZKfcmqM1q
"Sasha!" I screamed, my voice filled with anguish as the creature's hand pierced through her back, its bloodied claws emerging from her ribs.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBglKdFpqS
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQIKmgMz1E
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!"236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFcpOg3iev
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvs65bK2Aj
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.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJx3YJAXAfS
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQN7FiTC03z
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.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu29CarmHPH
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGufjuAwPB
"Where do we go?" Maya asked, her voice tight with fear.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ojafMvWbg
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1whcfYtjZ
"Upstairs," Evelyn said, her voice trembling. "We'll hide in one of the rooms."236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ncaAykJNN
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqCRQe7rza
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.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2S6Q1b4ZL7
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPU3YMH2z9W
"In here," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjEFbPLGol
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkzDCj13lT
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.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4mcNS1OUM
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBy7Px0w0y
"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."236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5JmgKPhHM
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlmuxD4E2C
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.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2wEKTtyca
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVSLDGflWI
"We need to barricade the door!" I said, my voice tight with urgency.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxAaQ2g3qt
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8pv5bkBZK
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.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkhaPSDIwh
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8v7pOjNrq
"Aargh!" Maya screamed.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQZrXQWAEO
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMU8IqRTrF
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.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FycRRelIk
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSLMANLfyj
The sound of her screams echoed through the hallway, growing fainter and fainter until they were swallowed by the darkness.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfzqrIiuMP
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBVxb2hoX5
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.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePdjXrDqfc
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcy8MDfnJex
"The closet," I said, my voice tight with urgency. "We'll hide in the closet."236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnJBQ1r9dN
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnSi6Uy4Ma
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.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69mT11Jt4A
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuidasH879c
"I'm sorry," Maya whispered, her voice trembling. "For everything. For not believing you. For not being there when you needed me."236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWylS2Jyej
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EivVbQKpy
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.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TAh7Gky54
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAReF2LYOY
"I forgive you," I said finally, my voice soft but steady. "And I'm sorry too. For pushing you away. For not trusting you."236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxp2aou6KG
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ktWJ9FyXa
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.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Jb2m9UK31
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDfiyySelS
But then the sound came again—a low, guttural moan, closer than ever. The monsters were right outside the door.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOclULMK2N
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5l5nCRq3hY
I closed my eyes, holding Maya tighter. "Whatever happens," I whispered, "I'm glad we're together."236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zVxVQkCJU
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYMMr9iTDr
Maya nodded, her tears soaking into my shirt. "Me too."236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHtYBNYIoJ
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSzAl6sdAu
The sound of the monsters grew louder, their claws scraping against the door. Maya and I held our breath, our hearts pounding in unison.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqkV6imkLe
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjAq6Vqgc7
And then, silence.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaU0EJfgcsU
