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.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlxzV43PGM
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3unzWVvYQ
"Alright," Hendrick said, his voice dripping with mockery. "Truth or Dare. No backing out."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUPjKGKWRA
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnDiw1iDg5
"Seriously?" I said, raising an eyebrow. "We're not twelve."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfCoqp4tQX
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFX8XvSHysE
"Come on," Hendrick shot back, his grin widening. "Don't tell me you're scared."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTHVHFfZHt
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefpaJziW8Q
"I'm not scared," I snapped. "I just think it's stupid."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZ2tdYfdoc
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSTS0W4jqp
"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?"250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcdQp2hEXe
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPolkCs6lK7
Maya hesitated, glancing at me before answering. "Truth," she said, her voice quiet.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFyFq0fWxo
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kPNOTaIjk
Hendrick leaned forward, his smirk stretching across his face. "Do you really think your sister's been clean since rehab?"250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyS3iOKiLb0
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoNJhmALaJ
The room fell silent. Maya's eyes widened, and she glanced at me, her expression torn. "I… I don't know," she said finally.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolohi6GKGU
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJP8agl2Fr
"Maya," I said, my voice sharp. "You know I haven't relapsed."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMmEhEzuFw
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd490hb3JsM
"Do I?" Maya shot back, her tone defensive. "You've been so distant lately. How am I supposed to know what you're doing?"250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2Fj3jgbEG
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaibYZ33t9
"Because I'm your sister," I said, my voice rising. "You're supposed to trust me."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8IW67dKar
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoL1WTws0J
"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?"250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZ9kBXXshd
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gwNTCQuc1
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."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQJgx9Pv33
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMjc52zBmD
"Shut up, Hendrick," I snapped, my hands clenched into fists. "This is your fault."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARDlt8mDpp
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7nUUSQH8a
"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."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvz5j7bHYI
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03ECDZaeEJ
"I haven't been lying!" I shouted, my voice echoing through the room.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbgswcEX8S
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQi0BKV6Sb
"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."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ypwbaXRpC
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihN7QD4ois
"You're unbelievable," I said, my voice low with anger. "I never agreed to a dare, and I'm not doing this regardless."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBQS1usPMD
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSONAutpgKT
"Why not?" Maya said, her voice trembling. "If you've got nothing to hide, why won't you let me?"250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjW8onOoOLg
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPpNbvHKdW
I stared at her, my heart sinking. "You're really going to side with him?"250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEViVnSbtsY
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaRwf34kaI
Maya hesitated, her eyes flicking between me and Hendrick. "I just… I need to know."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6qB64OVqv
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCsY7I5ft2
"Fine," I said, my voice cold. "Do it."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwfPyLO5Pm
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5dQXxsnMK
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.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccs93KksZa
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNI9ua7N3mr
"That's not an addiction," I said defensively.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhghJPxQvLe
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrVUUAwWM5
"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."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFForhFsn7
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ae5nF3koo
"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.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8suwxOiQt
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAf6ytry6nt
"What is that sound?" Masha said, her voice low but filled with terror.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQzs5In6n1
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoKqhrWwdA
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?"250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38fZp2FNnx
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESnT92zgIo
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.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0gMz9UtUT
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWEcjIcSfv
"Martin!" Sasha called out, her tone growing more frantic with each passing second.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlH8fvhw9pW
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXC38PBqQm
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.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhj8C3kgaZ
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftjVFa6Ror
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.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtoKBwTe3a
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7g0ZUpzYu
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.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMHxuFJipH
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiH5mGRyRA
Footsteps.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0vKIzcHez
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMCaz88myl
Footsteps.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZStncy43j

Footsteps.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKa2QAqNYV
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0WqLj3QDS
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.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8Faf20HRL
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbIuSKUqSy
"Oh my god!" Masha yelped, her voice barely above a whisper.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmZyo9DDGg
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dqdk8vWRv
Maya rushed to his side, her hands trembling as she reached for him. "Babe…" she started, her voice breaking. "What the hell happened?"250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhng60bSZo
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAFGBLVpUk
"That's not my blood," Hendrick said, his tone low and hollow, as if he were speaking from somewhere far away.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBcSo1DqPT
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsI702d3iq
Sasha's eyes darted toward the study, her voice trembling as she asked, "Where's Martin?"250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmqXpHULRl
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1piRW4Vl0J
Hendrick hesitated, his gaze dropping to the floor. "I… I couldn't stop it," he said, his voice barely audible.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGilO2W42S
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0M2ATyWfA
"Couldn't stop what?" Sasha demanded, her voice rising.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NNc1KdFIy
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFF6kEM5S6g
"Martin is… dead," Hendrick said, the words hanging heavy in the air.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZsIQnpSE6
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk58JpagEgx
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."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6YEKXiF8I
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpIi3niTKH
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.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hyO5uFMz2
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1o1V7OoEr8
"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?!"250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLM4mzjrER
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3NnnGOFX4
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.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtziYoERjbZ
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJv6mp3UBqr
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.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijWLZpZRcT
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2uftEDs3m
Finally, Hendrick broke the silence, his voice low and urgent. "We need to get out of here."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMzIfzl7si
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNr5zxgWsqQ
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.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfzqilJkuX
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ouhUTIjBa
I nodded, my heart pounding. "Let's go. Now."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqEuOJzp42
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4IzMknbWd
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.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeVmVtqyDf
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL58W7gh3Oy
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."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIzOefcgls
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLp2PjeV9N
"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."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwQr70j3mZ
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvovHX8ShO
"Evelyn has the keys," Masha said, her voice trembling. "She's not back yet."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgd6Gc4vsTy
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iXaOyzBIX
"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.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLBNBJSNk3
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJQv81p9Du
"Stop!" Maya said, her voice sharp. "You're going to attract whatever's that is."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedknUdmvCv
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7zepibq2B
Hendrick froze, his face pale. The room fell silent, the weight of our situation pressing down on us. We were trapped.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarE3OS1ejl
