The White's Mansion - Act V

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.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18iBG0Vbyl

"We need to move," I said, my voice low but firm. "Now."170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBSYzG76yL
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKkRCBBBYU
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."170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcbtWOEyhB
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqi5VRtzyQW
"And if it's locked?" Maya asked, her voice trembling.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3og17frAki
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpuOABdbOi
"It's not," Evelyn said, "Mom is always forgetful, so she leaves the key in the keyhole."170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCzG1lWFGu
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcziiqIpeiZ
We exchanged uneasy glances. Evelyn seemed genuinely confused about what was going on in her own house. Hopefully, she was right about this.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSnfU5qN9v

"Stay close," I said, stepping toward the door. "And don't stop for anything."170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzm9rRTmAVx
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbR393pMZT0
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.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeckRr0NOn6
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOg3mQbVy2N
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.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79jeY6qqz3
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBY5SGeCk92
The moans grew louder, and the air grew colder. The creature was following us.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgNljFnSaW
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiqULl47fK
"Faster," I whispered, my heart pounding in my chest.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6HiB9DFZp
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9gMaD351k
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.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOGVF53xGd
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSDmZgLorb
"Run!" I shouted, pulling the others forward to get ahead of me, starting with Sasha, Masha, Maya, then Evelyn.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCwTcoTwjP
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnjhPOQybF
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."170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡel2u7XKrsj
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHCWSTXxTi
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!"170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwcnxLxmRA
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iMcaflExr
"Hendrick, no!" Maya screamed, her voice breaking.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYYKF2HK8Z
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWw30KsvGx
"Just go!" Hendrick snapped, his eyes never leaving the creature. "I'll buy you time!"170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKs5UhoxfWU
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zPemQnM8i
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.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJct1byUJc
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4yWyqRo5C
"Go!" he shouted again, his voice strained.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQY6DcybbLa
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUB1CCnMZEH
I grabbed Maya's arm, pulling her away. "We have to go!" I said, my voice tight with urgency.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdiSpsAN9t
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIrzDo9xDR
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.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtILIuPtGss

170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBN1cqXP54
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.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLm0qh8xmG
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jy4DzZ60Q
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.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynimaYmEdo
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0EgaciT22
Another creature stepped out of the shadows, its glowing eyes fixed on us. It was smaller than the first, but no less terrifying.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wndyHDsTl
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLjFIMAm8s
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.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGepDPCTTUA
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBJNTHLI3g
"What the hell are you guys doing!" Masha shouted, her voice sharp. "Run."170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGKWrA16QL
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1p72Zb753
I hesitated, my heart pounding in my chest. "Masha..."170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLemHuoIcJ
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91MC7hKhvW
"Don't worry," she said, forcing a small smile. "I'm right behind you."170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasEkD0bXww
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScIoSBY5fw
We started for the door, but the creature grabbed Masha.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQK09jmy1Sg
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3l6MJdF6Z
"No!"170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVLqCEGyas
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvwe5rnYV8
"Keep going!" she insisted, struggling against the creature's grip.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw89kULFI1L
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6pjJXYeWn
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.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIxYFHZAr9

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.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneTiWkdLvx
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDak4BlhlE
The sound of the creatures' moans echoed behind us, growing louder with each passing second. They were coming.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjumE4YOydb
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDclzvfpAhT
"We need to keep moving," I said, my voice tight with urgency.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSVCdWns6u
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojnPTIvuO2
Maya nodded, her face pale but determined. Sasha was silent, her eyes filled with tears. Evelyn looked back at the mansion, her expression unreadable.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEvwHmcnug
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNJxbQtKOX
"Come on," I said, grabbing her arm. "We can't stop now."170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsH4ffIpP7
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPP2V6CkUTR
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.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsgztgoH88
