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.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4qUvFFYOy

"We need to move," I said, my voice low but firm. "Now."316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmEoqMkpz7
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZkvEKWxKN
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."316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcC2BDKUsM
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9o6OLh3t0T
"And if it's locked?" Maya asked, her voice trembling.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXHj9b31Kc
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLHUC96Keq
"It's not," Evelyn said, "Mom is always forgetful, so she leaves the key in the keyhole."316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVJC18ASpP
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6QW36uZVL
We exchanged uneasy glances. Evelyn seemed genuinely confused about what was going on in her own house. Hopefully, she was right about this.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXmeggJ0cj
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8oWWoO5Q0
"Stay close," I said, stepping toward the door. "And don't stop for anything."316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnutjztkIhJ
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8UCrS2J4h
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.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxtV2gSNjd
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dVVnyQj4K
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.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfQxTjJE24
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqRr6VdziL
The moans grew louder, and the air grew colder. The creature was following us.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDDkJV96yC
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcvTxbx0Gj
"Faster," I whispered, my heart pounding in my chest.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrKhoHX2Sf
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlN9KbqQM9y
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.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7M5dVMX3vv
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKH3oUkOO4Q
"Run!" I shouted, pulling the others forward to get ahead of me, starting with Sasha, Masha, Maya, then Evelyn.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYE2P6dlgo
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSt9sIgdJfM
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."316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmN7BE8rlL
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2CcbpwCQH
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!"316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFQEWXBNb3
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXoFlc1fev
"Hendrick, no!" Maya screamed, her voice breaking.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNr7jZzqfN
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYDjUt640G
"Just go!" Hendrick snapped, his eyes never leaving the creature. "I'll buy you time!"316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL34GxCRa0Z
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8eT9msoWA
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.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrz3bL64kY
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnBUtR57hm
"Go!" he shouted again, his voice strained.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEAMkAHjHV
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRWAiWzAqe
I grabbed Maya's arm, pulling her away. "We have to go!" I said, my voice tight with urgency.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJ445A2l5K
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ESc6raO9A
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.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJAgbn6H0S

...316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPl8FEVNkK
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33VKVjvlk8
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.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMf9xaEvpo
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkP8BNdUZ6M
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.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96ct1Vlnso
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRrCSFKxVI
Another creature stepped out of the shadows, its glowing eyes fixed on us. It was smaller than the first, but no less terrifying.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnwQgvwgxz
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuH3xvq1Oni
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.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ECbkDDYLG
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyCIp1kYCO
"What the hell are you guys doing!" Masha shouted, her voice sharp. "Run."316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6tJl55J3N
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4dkivJZkO
I hesitated, my heart pounding in my chest. "Masha..."316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbG0ipFYwa
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jwNayYUCD
"Don't worry," she said, forcing a small smile. "I'm right behind you."316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOtNUaTDUX
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdflUIWQa0d
We started for the door, but the creature grabbed Masha.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnKPg12tj2
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpY1fPkOLhA
"No!"316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQU13buiMw
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBa6bPz68D
"Keep going!" she insisted, struggling against the creature's grip.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMC5KvLJ8NA
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdcojJ7Z2O
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.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqIsQbYIEg

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.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYqfdW6iWZ
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1jIDV0JBk
The sound of the creatures' moans echoed behind us, growing louder with each passing second. They were coming.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerxLTFpUX5
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLE6cwn7Moe
"We need to keep moving," I said, my voice tight with urgency.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RvU1cUus9
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4WUgiwryI
Maya nodded, her face pale but determined. Sasha was silent, her eyes filled with tears. Evelyn looked back at the mansion, her expression unreadable.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDuLJThUwS
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRb8EI3MfjS
"Come on," I said, grabbing her arm. "We can't stop now."316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJc4jG5dw5q
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLIEQ8hTmg
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.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUBBINPKE7
