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.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSva02D7Jkv
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5e0o3S2Glj
"There!" I shouted, pointing toward the gate. "We're almost there!"114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPcU5JgcC6
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLos7Oi6hgb
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.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefV0rxXDjb
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKD97GKeRZ2
"No!" Maya cried, her voice trembling. "What do we do now?"114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMAmecBjyL
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBngHmqikJ
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.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHS9MbRFfIJ
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JquEC2r6I
"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."114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttvJ4tz89I
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9rexxMmHx
"Safer?" Sasha snapped, her voice rising with panic. "Are you kidding me? Those things are in there!"114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVolhnKcfu
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ032hPN2rNG
"We don't have a choice!" Evelyn shot back, her eyes wide with desperation. "We can't stay here!"114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4hklEPZ9Y
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd15YgEnsTF
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.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmpGXy00YJ
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipy6rvt3fp
"Fine," I said, my voice firm. "Back to the mansion. Now!"114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLrEJQKVkj
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjUXjdBdfB
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!"114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksTjLaisKY
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFAkrRqM6V
"Keep running!" I yelled, grabbing her arm and pulling her forward.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTn4pdYqKNO
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB59QyIGScC
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.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8CNqOlYxg
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNW6sgPWt5N
"Sasha!" I screamed, my voice filled with anguish as the creature's hand pierced through her back, its bloodied claws emerging from her ribs.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOyph5sPak
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcZXUsIeQ6
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!"114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjLorymgPQ
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhJxGQLVtO
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.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEEhwynA2x
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoZSmYOjwP
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.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9shJHGTLMO
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sntK7QM4m
"Where do we go?" Maya asked, her voice tight with fear.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcIyRUM4Iw
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8cHlw1dtN
"Upstairs," Evelyn said, her voice trembling. "We'll hide in one of the rooms."114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zZlssGLJ5
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSw3YqLNQUe
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.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6qqupa4BK
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXyMFV3tSm
"In here," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGut7vAY6MV
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OMsri7kXq
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.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKuCA1gwrK
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAddrCI0ClY
"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."114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZz5k3MWpkp
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxZGKMSDdc
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.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoXPKzLCsn
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6zEdk3kxg
"We need to barricade the door!" I said, my voice tight with urgency.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirNoQiQdOn
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVxUsYzeB8
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.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyu2ZVMRmD1
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAblVR59WkW
"Aargh!" Maya screamed.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjZRuGLtcW
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQr8oupav7
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.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRkHr26pAi
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdB8P0fmTd
The sound of her screams echoed through the hallway, growing fainter and fainter until they were swallowed by the darkness.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCoVSEJT3p
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cexHeg6X4
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.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpAr6vQxrz
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjUiMFRsWr
"The closet," I said, my voice tight with urgency. "We'll hide in the closet."114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLTxznUKYo
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnACOLFTOAN
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.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9cktSvMCB
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaB6xgcBJ0O
"I'm sorry," Maya whispered, her voice trembling. "For everything. For not believing you. For not being there when you needed me."114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rrWgSIANX
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO38qEfrasu
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.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSftgE3r9P
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICxdWZZ3xE
"I forgive you," I said finally, my voice soft but steady. "And I'm sorry too. For pushing you away. For not trusting you."114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsejSxLzPrN
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePepEqITxg
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.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjSxDoFZSB
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBImaRSK8kN
But then the sound came again—a low, guttural moan, closer than ever. The monsters were right outside the door.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGmbtcZLTQ
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9W68PJrEo3
I closed my eyes, holding Maya tighter. "Whatever happens," I whispered, "I'm glad we're together."114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Os0rLBxjT
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzn2puNmEu
Maya nodded, her tears soaking into my shirt. "Me too."114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9kGzGKZUS
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraaVgtBVMZ
The sound of the monsters grew louder, their claws scraping against the door. Maya and I held our breath, our hearts pounding in unison.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzq9ZQFonMi
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jdnQDNbF9
And then, silence.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlic85exGsw
