The living room was dimly lit, the only sound the faint hum of the mansion's ancient air conditioning. We sat in a loose circle on the floor, the tension in the room so thick it felt like it could suffocate us. Hendrick had suggested a game to pass the time while we waited for Evelyn to return with groceries. It was supposed to be fun, but the way he smirked as he shuffled the deck told me this was anything but.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93lzRjuMYx
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrdXFVx4yY
"Alright," Hendrick said, his voice dripping with mockery. "Truth or Dare. No backing out."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihfa993Vvw
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3TuC2n5NF
"Seriously?" I said, raising an eyebrow. "We're not twelve."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoi3EJVbEs
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmFPy3RuUd
"Come on," Hendrick shot back, his grin widening. "Don't tell me you're scared."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgCAcDydMI
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXp0nvSdpA
"I'm not scared," I snapped. "I just think it's stupid."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8Kl9IExu7
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcfC88OZiw
"Then it shouldn't be a problem," Hendrick said, dealing the cards with a flick of his wrist. His eyes gleamed with mischief as he turned to Maya. "You're up first. Truth or Dare?"112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0BoEl7ERw
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XZTFw105Y
Maya hesitated, glancing at me before answering. "Truth," she said, her voice quiet.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd57aNJrjVp
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkB3rJgpZ4f
Hendrick leaned forward, his smirk stretching across his face. "Do you really think your sister's been clean since rehab?"112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSigcgy1zv
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfBVBswvrx
The room fell silent. Maya's eyes widened, and she glanced at me, her expression torn. "I… I don't know," she said finally.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbIHTroNvU
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVKMAI2EM5
"Maya," I said, my voice sharp. "You know I haven't relapsed."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0fWendekG
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IXUVnwYAb
"Do I?" Maya shot back, her tone defensive. "You've been so distant lately. How am I supposed to know what you're doing?"112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIMbc9S3NC
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2tphr5ren
"Because I'm your sister," I said, my voice rising. "You're supposed to trust me."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49MXYVhMEC
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qG0otE9r9
"Trust you?" Maya said, her voice shaking. "You're the one who pushed me away. You're the one who stopped coming to the clubhouse. How am I supposed to trust you when you won't even talk to me?"112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9CcbwX4us
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnXTISwQ7w
The room was silent, the tension thick enough to cut with a knife. Hendrick leaned back, a satisfied smirk on his face. "Looks like we hit a nerve."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb04zaCzgmS
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLbRccmeBr
"Shut up, Hendrick," I snapped, my hands clenched into fists. "This is your fault."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkJn6vdM6r
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanzllEqvla
"My fault?" Hendrick said, his tone mocking. "I'm not the one who's been avoiding everyone. I'm not the one who's been lying."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZ1fav0LUH
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmuAxSF75o
"I haven't been lying!" I shouted, my voice echoing through the room.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2fPVFmfjA
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWOISOFkNb
"Prove it," Hendrick said, his eyes narrowing. "It's Maya's turn now. How about you let her pat you down as a dare? If you've got nothing to hide, it shouldn't be a problem."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrjE9LIU4N
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtKbD84CsM
"You're unbelievable," I said, my voice low with anger. "I never agreed to a dare, and I'm not doing this regardless."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFquVjRNbo
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd424amQQxt
"Why not?" Maya said, her voice trembling. "If you've got nothing to hide, why won't you let me?"112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3QegNiYoj
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlq3teEx15l
I stared at her, my heart sinking. "You're really going to side with him?"112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyulGSlk1P
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21Fs70ccVV
Maya hesitated, her eyes flicking between me and Hendrick. "I just… I need to know."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHKK7U5leb
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtsi5xXpnC
"Fine," I said, my voice cold. "Do it."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeODKS7Cgz
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjSPQzTV6A
Maya stepped forward, her hands shaking as she patted me down. The room was silent, the tension unbearable. She pulled a cigarette from the front pocket of my overalls and eyed me suspiciously.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4h2893zZ2
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9VN9ndrlK
"That's not an addiction," I said defensively.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkJBYC7urR
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZii2BqUFqg
"Isn't it?" Maya argued, her voice rising. "Because this is how it begins. First it's cigarettes, then it's alcohol, and then it's hard drugs. I've seen it before."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOaNmFcSDi
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pLirWwAy2
"Maya," I started, but before I could say anything else, a sound cut through the silence—a low, guttural moan coming from somewhere deep in the mansion.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkK8K6TijEe
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqg5kPoMf2T
"What is that sound?" Masha said, her voice low but filled with terror.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ577pn7x1an
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJ74tjBDkg
The moan came again, louder this time, and the air seemed to grow colder. I glanced around the room, my heart pounding. "Guys," I said, my voice tight. "Where are Martin and Hendrick?"112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvCQIQOAvO
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjLxarfuCR
We got up and looked around the living room, the eerie silence amplifying our unease. "Babe?!" Maya shouted, her voice trembling as she searched for Hendrick.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9r4YhFFhV
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡys1lNohT8D
"Martin!" Sasha called out, her tone growing more frantic with each passing second.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hyWdXS2Du
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEjeLhBqvc
But instead of a response, we were met with a loud, piercing scream that echoed from the direction of the study. My stomach dropped, and I glanced at Masha, who shared the same wide-eyed expression of dread.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmog0KoIgy
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJz0ic2tJX
Sasha started toward the study, but I quickly grabbed her arm, shaking my head. My eyes pleaded with her not to follow the sound. She hesitated, her face pale, but before she could argue, a heavy thud reverberated through the mansion, followed by footsteps—slow, deliberate, and growing louder with each step.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYpsD9K030
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFN4QpjXgj
Sasha's hand found mine, our fingers interlocking as we braced ourselves for whatever was coming. The footsteps grew closer, echoing through the hallway like a countdown to disaster.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydxmvT1iy9
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYeUmSUVxU
Footsteps.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwIhlaV39v

Footsteps.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlItUXILSUn
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzjIzUkQK2
The door swung open, and my heart froze for a beat. But it wasn't a monster that emerged—it was Hendrick, his face pale and his clothes splattered with dark, drying blood. His hands trembled as he clutched the doorframe, his breathing ragged.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcc01Pv7BGp
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TYXFJ85LF
"Oh my god!" Masha yelped, her voice barely above a whisper.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJl41KckgF
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqmFgecMLK
Maya rushed to his side, her hands trembling as she reached for him. "Babe…" she started, her voice breaking. "What the hell happened?"112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqIg7W9kIu
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGvijG9orF
"That's not my blood," Hendrick said, his tone low and hollow, as if he were speaking from somewhere far away.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJICgAetuOj
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9X17cNcSi
Sasha's eyes darted toward the study, her voice trembling as she asked, "Where's Martin?"112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvAQ4nIOpH
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlAQ6MEHr2
Hendrick hesitated, his gaze dropping to the floor. "I… I couldn't stop it," he said, his voice barely audible.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVUMZPNPWc
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1SC5HLwr8
"Couldn't stop what?" Sasha demanded, her voice rising.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQDI8pNS6R
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6aLQDZhqb
"Martin is… dead," Hendrick said, the words hanging heavy in the air.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBj0WleuFa
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxso52fulO
Sasha let out a shaky laugh, her voice trembling as she shook her head. "No," she said, her tone desperate. "You two are just pulling a prank on us. This isn't funny."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhYlphLgSl
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGZxKzvK3Y
She started for the study, her voice cracking as she called out, "Martin?" But I grabbed her arm, holding her back. Something in Hendrick's expression told me this wasn't a joke.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0ruODnuDJ
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtXfJI5xwl
"Let me go," Sasha said, her voice firm but trembling. I shook my head, my grip tightening. "Let me go!" she shouted, her voice breaking as she began hitting my chest. "Why won't you let me go?!"112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoTQskyqMy
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69LByLtemg
Her fists pounded against me, each blow weaker than the last until she finally broke down, collapsing into sobs. I pulled her close, holding her tightly as she cried into my shoulder, her body shaking with grief.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ34evWtxKc
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZMtCJay4c
The room was silent except for Sasha's muffled sobs. Hendrick stood frozen, his face pale and his hands trembling. Maya stared at him, her expression a mix of fear and disbelief. Masha hovered nearby, her eyes wide with terror.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYGUqIck8T
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTwo4tPw5C
Finally, Hendrick broke the silence, his voice low and urgent. "We need to get out of here."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aT7CEKaei
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4XyzRoHNK
The words hung in the air, sharp and final. Sasha's sobs quieted, and she pulled away from me, her face streaked with tears. Maya stared at Hendrick, her expression a mix of fear and something else.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3Kg1u59M9
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoWzdMQTZb
I nodded, my heart pounding. "Let's go. Now."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3oVWRw2TN
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgu7REpWtoY
We moved as one, rushing toward the front door. The mansion seemed to close in around us, the shadows stretching and twisting as if alive. The air grew colder with each step, and the faint hum of the air conditioning was replaced by an eerie silence.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6L2yHw8g8
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAjYj56fgT
Hendrick reached the door first, his bloodied hands grabbed the handle then twisted and pulled, but the door didn't budge. He yanked harder, his face pale. "It's stuck."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahXQ1BSo7Z
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVtypnlEVT
"Move," I said, pushing past him. I grabbed the handle and pulled with all my strength, but the door didn't budge. My stomach dropped. "It's locked."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEIl0wCB5A
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBV5MtsiMj
"Evelyn has the keys," Masha said, her voice trembling. "She's not back yet."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWR4wuLJhjg
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuNwseD4FZ
"Then we break it down," Hendrick said, his tone desperate. He stepped back and kicked the door, the sound echoing through the mansion. The door didn't move.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwZQM9qWy1
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjO3EgxXvYM
"Stop!" Maya said, her voice sharp. "You're going to attract whatever's that is."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ943yj32V8W
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw03BLSVn3M
Hendrick froze, his face pale. The room fell silent, the weight of our situation pressing down on us. We were trapped.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsLxyIkbxQ
