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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzHezd64v7
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7UWmURMz7
"There!" I shouted, pointing toward the gate. "We're almost there!"117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5v4pWl8RmB
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf89MczU4cm
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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UMRaNoOaK
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yoq805pi1
"No!" Maya cried, her voice trembling. "What do we do now?"117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZGfdpe9vH
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4fVqJvrff
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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6dyWIKTJX
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxipZ2B8jBi
"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."117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSbVnTwvzl
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAfan1YE51
"Safer?" Sasha snapped, her voice rising with panic. "Are you kidding me? Those things are in there!"117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVnFvjEKaK
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyrcp06ve8
"We don't have a choice!" Evelyn shot back, her eyes wide with desperation. "We can't stay here!"117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOwapWLKvJ
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YPhzKiACI
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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhfCn0fXBx
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdT4Wh22YHZ
"Fine," I said, my voice firm. "Back to the mansion. Now!"117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bBO7oYXNr
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9LZRNPjTc
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!"117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXPof4uVh5
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNA4lXa5mNk
"Keep running!" I yelled, grabbing her arm and pulling her forward.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2j9tv3osY
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIlxTR5tz2
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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuV7dyhvim
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsVH3eEyjV
"Sasha!" I screamed, my voice filled with anguish as the creature's hand pierced through her back, its bloodied claws emerging from her ribs.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLFG52GhLQ
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0PpN1Byq0
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!"117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhFYe6SloC
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkF5kVHojG
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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ccWtTBj49
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgbNLarzv8
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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzB7aRMFpe
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJWoAzLWiA
"Where do we go?" Maya asked, her voice tight with fear.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79fmxYZSZQ
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqQd5WNg8H
"Upstairs," Evelyn said, her voice trembling. "We'll hide in one of the rooms."117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZsH3x8hQU
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZbKfUFeV7
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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFzyCaWrP6
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpxdciEV2P
"In here," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BpTAplQPN
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHLkfzdIWf
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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2XB6OZYDI
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGNDOCRzzi
"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."117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylOYCesoq0
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSA24oWBdw0
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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4zPPrP0jM
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzUqbWnZFx
"We need to barricade the door!" I said, my voice tight with urgency.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9f4hhkJaY
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTFopYADUw
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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2MqPGq8he
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbcSte8Trr
"Aargh!" Maya screamed.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75yPebqXew
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLTr7odGZG
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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKL0tJx3dD
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYbxThPFlm
The sound of her screams echoed through the hallway, growing fainter and fainter until they were swallowed by the darkness.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xXuLubcrL
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfARvKBIp6G
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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZVVpLdsPg
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCgZRB7mrC
"The closet," I said, my voice tight with urgency. "We'll hide in the closet."117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Am9Tim9yH
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9rx172LaB
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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVpwzLSDDQ
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiYnvXZiFT
"I'm sorry," Maya whispered, her voice trembling. "For everything. For not believing you. For not being there when you needed me."117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbqLfGHrAa
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGnwI9PZEX
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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOgcAMa3fZ
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1dVyFnpWD
"I forgive you," I said finally, my voice soft but steady. "And I'm sorry too. For pushing you away. For not trusting you."117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKAndEfCRu
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrx6aasD9PX
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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPIEvpW5cm
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6QK1epzD4
But then the sound came again—a low, guttural moan, closer than ever. The monsters were right outside the door.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jqESDB5Cu
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRUmyIr7un
I closed my eyes, holding Maya tighter. "Whatever happens," I whispered, "I'm glad we're together."117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0caYdv5y6p
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2IBF73YGa
Maya nodded, her tears soaking into my shirt. "Me too."117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcOWMECTqU
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ulkUYgcw9
The sound of the monsters grew louder, their claws scraping against the door. Maya and I held our breath, our hearts pounding in unison.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4MeSDxHCs
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzM6wlSUDDJ
And then, silence.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAqnvwIyUF
