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.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEEIxiNAjn

"We need to move," I said, my voice low but firm. "Now."127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtn7dHJ6Lm5
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUH6Rw5eYOg
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."127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mVIB0kPVi
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIgWDHHC0F
"And if it's locked?" Maya asked, her voice trembling.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTT5fO3NpFO
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDBaWmxe3l
"It's not," Evelyn said, "Mom is always forgetful, so she leaves the key in the keyhole."127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGE73ypOfb
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7piRydz5j
We exchanged uneasy glances. Evelyn seemed genuinely confused about what was going on in her own house. Hopefully, she was right about this.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74m31HeRYg
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkDH7zTPNY
"Stay close," I said, stepping toward the door. "And don't stop for anything."127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimiCzPMdRw
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTOwnWEzLb
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.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8m7OqxiOD
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WVtuGzgwX
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.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UWS7GZf91
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaPxF6mXse
The moans grew louder, and the air grew colder. The creature was following us.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2IzQsIfI1
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jpjj5zzRH
"Faster," I whispered, my heart pounding in my chest.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡST7APKGLhf
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pN6ImZRXu
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.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWXScvpuP3
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJGqUsI2bC
"Run!" I shouted, pulling the others forward to get ahead of me, starting with Sasha, Masha, Maya, then Evelyn.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaf7Jxx5Bi
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9UNR030BH
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."127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBhjuZsq8q
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3VxOqe289
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!"127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiY5Twnzd6
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnqKrMQzv2
"Hendrick, no!" Maya screamed, her voice breaking.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPm53HGEKoe
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiullAoUvO
"Just go!" Hendrick snapped, his eyes never leaving the creature. "I'll buy you time!"127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrRtvd62A4
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOHP3AW36y
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.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82iPGPqaEN
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLzG0TsPNo
"Go!" he shouted again, his voice strained.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQ63ZGOrua
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSAX3clicz
I grabbed Maya's arm, pulling her away. "We have to go!" I said, my voice tight with urgency.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYy3WO3VqV
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHWu19sF0R
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.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5XDUexO07

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.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvq7QONMAYN
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkP2UDMyAo
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.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIBNuUANY1
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO78QAxjeGZ
Another creature stepped out of the shadows, its glowing eyes fixed on us. It was smaller than the first, but no less terrifying.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64MOIBNV6M
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAkSwIQU0O
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.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyaySzado8
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucSzol7hq4
"What the hell are you guys doing!" Masha shouted, her voice sharp. "Run."127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtUaEHR0H5
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oHwPQhUOg
I hesitated, my heart pounding in my chest. "Masha..."127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdy0K89b93
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLXm2v4Uvc
"Don't worry," she said, forcing a small smile. "I'm right behind you."127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmuXG9Yu0q
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagMZPHCTDr
We started for the door, but the creature grabbed Masha.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjA49wzug6
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WwMiR4DdH
"No!"127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAwZyX34jD
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5D12qWgs5
"Keep going!" she insisted, struggling against the creature's grip.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEMWU6dReh
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OO0RTwnp8
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.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovKnsPstLc

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.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuVzWdhVN8
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9wik6zeIW
The sound of the creatures' moans echoed behind us, growing louder with each passing second. They were coming.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyzxbN5XQ0
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHBXStNX5c
"We need to keep moving," I said, my voice tight with urgency.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhJ2mgDpuS
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5VqeJlWou
Maya nodded, her face pale but determined. Sasha was silent, her eyes filled with tears. Evelyn looked back at the mansion, her expression unreadable.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0wQ6YEu0T
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdlQz0gbxq
"Come on," I said, grabbing her arm. "We can't stop now."127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbDmcUsspa
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9VEVjntNY
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.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnS8jq16MW
