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.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFBaoOegDO

"We need to move," I said, my voice low but firm. "Now."322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Sjz4Dp0Mu
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3URjCvKEY
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."322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaLsHJfcFF
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUduVLrtYA9
"And if it's locked?" Maya asked, her voice trembling.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVImupYEU1H
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh16mGiw6zK
"It's not," Evelyn said, "Mom is always forgetful, so she leaves the key in the keyhole."322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviLxZ1LHhJ
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcd7HmSB3n2
We exchanged uneasy glances. Evelyn seemed genuinely confused about what was going on in her own house. Hopefully, she was right about this.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBXCOCoc8d
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ635FsPXf4J
"Stay close," I said, stepping toward the door. "And don't stop for anything."322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AogZflqqd
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOSxY0K00n
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.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjESMYaaClz
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9krOMvMk4
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.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOyf7wjgOB
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloAqyJPrMS
The moans grew louder, and the air grew colder. The creature was following us.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcv1j9RQXXW
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2xd2ysmGT
"Faster," I whispered, my heart pounding in my chest.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iV0Jo9IJd
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuQPRbIBSn
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.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHOIwcNymi
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUxtEI4x06
"Run!" I shouted, pulling the others forward to get ahead of me, starting with Sasha, Masha, Maya, then Evelyn.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CeG5ZeUe9
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wq9ZwZnKU
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."322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUASXVShk2
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6NMI3eeYp
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!"322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5Bwn6Rwzr
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH86j8k541s
"Hendrick, no!" Maya screamed, her voice breaking.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHioA1x9U3Q
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fSXbw0HS0
"Just go!" Hendrick snapped, his eyes never leaving the creature. "I'll buy you time!"322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rCoG9GdCB
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoB9Yaei2Pr
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.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsWrrGHtOO
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsf5KKpDb8
"Go!" he shouted again, his voice strained.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwREOx2CZN
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAYvLSyIEw
I grabbed Maya's arm, pulling her away. "We have to go!" I said, my voice tight with urgency.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHuJWCMtwh
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNj7uhnNWO
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.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJL403Yiwu

322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwejTudWnCc
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.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwQxeWh9Rc
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgo3VdNJJUc
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.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYOPGBpWdU
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMUQPOgXjU
Another creature stepped out of the shadows, its glowing eyes fixed on us. It was smaller than the first, but no less terrifying.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Zd62LVQNB
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2m9Uk8nSuZ
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.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0dvIOjuuR
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDh2hc4OEu3
"What the hell are you guys doing!" Masha shouted, her voice sharp. "Run."322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsU1uP0hDd
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQ4eGDd4mr
I hesitated, my heart pounding in my chest. "Masha..."322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLRxjdCuqf
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsojoV9l1k
"Don't worry," she said, forcing a small smile. "I'm right behind you."322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTrbAsSypn
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Q8NdPrZhs
We started for the door, but the creature grabbed Masha.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbzvN1kC3C
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkI1Fe6bD7i
"No!"322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9OVYEtHvG
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1TdobQb6T
"Keep going!" she insisted, struggling against the creature's grip.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEYFAQrDiT
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSHiKM2GS9
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.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEBK7tf8tc

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.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5f62BOFK92
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyDjFTUzwQ
The sound of the creatures' moans echoed behind us, growing louder with each passing second. They were coming.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5S5mQhr0Ew
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDs43LUvU8
"We need to keep moving," I said, my voice tight with urgency.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWW6TVObm0
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWxxDa0nY1
Maya nodded, her face pale but determined. Sasha was silent, her eyes filled with tears. Evelyn looked back at the mansion, her expression unreadable.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqbNTCuCAB
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcjvFnaRm5
"Come on," I said, grabbing her arm. "We can't stop now."322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRah3HGbN4
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4Frnid6gE
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.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaicfVpHiSQ
