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.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikit3VRp3q
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjDJaNdtah
"Alright," Hendrick said, his voice dripping with mockery. "Truth or Dare. No backing out."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfAhqC0ZSx
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gKlRUpmw1
"Seriously?" I said, raising an eyebrow. "We're not twelve."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgFCuKORDk
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Q9LLSiyed
"Come on," Hendrick shot back, his grin widening. "Don't tell me you're scared."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN94r6Wg2t6
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46AyjYlaoU
"I'm not scared," I snapped. "I just think it's stupid."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7TSE3b2AD
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5sHboutdA
"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?"826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHpqyJbCPy
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNc2MNXQPN
Maya hesitated, glancing at me before answering. "Truth," she said, her voice quiet.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqIhOAnoBa
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDPrsNSIJ0
Hendrick leaned forward, his smirk stretching across his face. "Do you really think your sister's been clean since rehab?"826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kEF7vjr45
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ621ALrTOS
The room fell silent. Maya's eyes widened, and she glanced at me, her expression torn. "I… I don't know," she said finally.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4x7JsD32G
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkLBfymNYT
"Maya," I said, my voice sharp. "You know I haven't relapsed."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8mB0NLi7n
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YRVg80wye
"Do I?" Maya shot back, her tone defensive. "You've been so distant lately. How am I supposed to know what you're doing?"826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRbjUCL1Im
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhglkVzhAV1
"Because I'm your sister," I said, my voice rising. "You're supposed to trust me."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszItOxTqTd
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLAjrse0em
"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?"826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWB5UxnaCp
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GZVKUkigR
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."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrvP6b4msO
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUcag66JgK
"Shut up, Hendrick," I snapped, my hands clenched into fists. "This is your fault."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOTQ6avxdv
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5euqDO17f
"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."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8u3xafpUL
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMGXxz95kV
"I haven't been lying!" I shouted, my voice echoing through the room.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61b0jyhQtO
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YOsh1FuMw
"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."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNUPtvv3wV
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2acF5iRR6
"You're unbelievable," I said, my voice low with anger. "I never agreed to a dare, and I'm not doing this regardless."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVi9P2bN9E
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDSUrKdiX5
"Why not?" Maya said, her voice trembling. "If you've got nothing to hide, why won't you let me?"826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHdxkxEh6t
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvweQptZ5w
I stared at her, my heart sinking. "You're really going to side with him?"826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIt8p2ZfRj
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIE51ZOeY0M
Maya hesitated, her eyes flicking between me and Hendrick. "I just… I need to know."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRGBvytNVt
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rFeg8Vvt3
"Fine," I said, my voice cold. "Do it."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtn2iVldOKm
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1eYSh9uBa
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.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhyij5W4Rf
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAsg5WTHFo
"That's not an addiction," I said defensively.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeyUaW0r2J
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4gqmEnNap
"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."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8BcpYS0C9
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14VpJZNyoi
"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.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKRZoUMJxI
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3eCqu5Dvu
"What is that sound?" Masha said, her voice low but filled with terror.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbv6fLjbsDH
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDivLskyAKg
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?"826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeQBV8iXKV
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWsjmLxDOH
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.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJAX9YGkOS
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKm5Y8tKta
"Martin!" Sasha called out, her tone growing more frantic with each passing second.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1gruKhOit
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMN9jBDB9A
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.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMKw30KVaL
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmooWQ4P9n
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.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnV3ay6dVv
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLI87rK1SKY
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.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxX42Uj2FS
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYz9GR5pjzp
Footsteps.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeT9MPToPFa

Footsteps.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCd5gvqKwYZ
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoOtzfuDiT
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.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATxyO1FtVs
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEFwAS6t9x
"Oh my god!" Masha yelped, her voice barely above a whisper.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9stiLnkj37
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPB9KIQNli5
Maya rushed to his side, her hands trembling as she reached for him. "Babe…" she started, her voice breaking. "What the hell happened?"826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGhQ0QsoSm
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuLxkbkQEc
"That's not my blood," Hendrick said, his tone low and hollow, as if he were speaking from somewhere far away.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfrCkUp0NQ
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhF4m8S3XFb
Sasha's eyes darted toward the study, her voice trembling as she asked, "Where's Martin?"826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIYYhrCdne
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhYh5ibz56
Hendrick hesitated, his gaze dropping to the floor. "I… I couldn't stop it," he said, his voice barely audible.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79zJkeQ8Am
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXjxL0q1nQ
"Couldn't stop what?" Sasha demanded, her voice rising.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf12OdVSZ4v
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCKzoIAetu
"Martin is… dead," Hendrick said, the words hanging heavy in the air.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hdAc9Fnv8
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhLVqlrMd5
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."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRJ4SJJmLj
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5lUqJ6tIy
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.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZXqhj6EzL
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡla0AatcYej
"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?!"826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESbLT1VNo9
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjBnj7pbt6
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.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVKpXgDfJO
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPGp9Lu39y
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.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LJrDkEbs3
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84JYH4pE9t
Finally, Hendrick broke the silence, his voice low and urgent. "We need to get out of here."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxWR9BaAxC
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDIKWN2fd7
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.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjJFUFS7Zw
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rFrJvnyef
I nodded, my heart pounding. "Let's go. Now."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrHz8TS4JI
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCp3cjqQL2y
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.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUQZ7OLUDF
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3y12raZjpg
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."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxb8ekYNMHo
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13Imx5fH1R
"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."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aBasHl3e3
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6wVqTkN8C
"Evelyn has the keys," Masha said, her voice trembling. "She's not back yet."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdLpShrOUg
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRCxaWM4QT
"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.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJfgUspjug
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEL44GTtMnE
"Stop!" Maya said, her voice sharp. "You're going to attract whatever's that is."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevM9ayoq5S
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu74HqVP4t9
Hendrick froze, his face pale. The room fell silent, the weight of our situation pressing down on us. We were trapped.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWucMqyjA5
