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.325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOS958Le7K

"We need to move," I said, my voice low but firm. "Now."325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUspQg9T7Ym
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8220SaO4Dc
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."325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SU9Hnksmu
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2Hi2O3bzQ
"And if it's locked?" Maya asked, her voice trembling.325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVYyMKkjGS
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkdJGYjN9H
"It's not," Evelyn said, "Mom is always forgetful, so she leaves the key in the keyhole."325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvI6KQBURDA
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUm0yVh36u
We exchanged uneasy glances. Evelyn seemed genuinely confused about what was going on in her own house. Hopefully, she was right about this.325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAs9dNIFfdG
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nKwLmNdRp
"Stay close," I said, stepping toward the door. "And don't stop for anything."325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrL4zvcnDBi
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1BgYWOGHD
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.325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJxdd3ZC1c
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tHRSiqufW
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.325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7YB5viaF3
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtoIwGW0kP
The moans grew louder, and the air grew colder. The creature was following us.325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGMVGt8k9s
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCw9qfCbdK
"Faster," I whispered, my heart pounding in my chest.325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcULu4nqudM
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vxOBaucYl
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.325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbFBwBeVYL
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgICaWX5prZ
"Run!" I shouted, pulling the others forward to get ahead of me, starting with Sasha, Masha, Maya, then Evelyn.325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6J66x7NgVt
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80QTpRpx4W
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."325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4F1tAzjJO
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ181QATn4Dh
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!"325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb01nJDGbqR
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6vPJly5zd
"Hendrick, no!" Maya screamed, her voice breaking.325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtehiuyweNu
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmz5CkGJ7rC
"Just go!" Hendrick snapped, his eyes never leaving the creature. "I'll buy you time!"325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpVYpewtmA
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwhzSKW8Xa
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.325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uWd6LiIIo
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9PuNbGqQt
"Go!" he shouted again, his voice strained.325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2LA7y65ks
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AhSuYVg3V
I grabbed Maya's arm, pulling her away. "We have to go!" I said, my voice tight with urgency.325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxg9rCaWCu3
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLukvl1Ny13
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.325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNjaBcqhZL

325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oICOEmUza
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.325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQY9MC27VLH
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlz3JX7NNz
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.325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT68OIFt3sM
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKwl5c5eTo
Another creature stepped out of the shadows, its glowing eyes fixed on us. It was smaller than the first, but no less terrifying.325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZOcJWPgdE
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJt2TCHpeI
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.325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOSNlE6KkU
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogsr659USv
"What the hell are you guys doing!" Masha shouted, her voice sharp. "Run."325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsoZyWtheN
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwcjnzR8oE
I hesitated, my heart pounding in my chest. "Masha..."325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2k2Nm9c0B
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6y8fy2GMu
"Don't worry," she said, forcing a small smile. "I'm right behind you."325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqTeEdJUbN
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhU1ZR27oo
We started for the door, but the creature grabbed Masha.325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1OuCf2NKz
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjitV1yGzH7
"No!"325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaywxDpXRWs
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0utbqzKdC
"Keep going!" she insisted, struggling against the creature's grip.325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zeeWbSYAS
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVh2uMCNTV1
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.325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2xc91Zi7l

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.325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMjaZSxFI0
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPepAZzoNn
The sound of the creatures' moans echoed behind us, growing louder with each passing second. They were coming.325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FXgvtogEg
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEYU5XkVZ1
"We need to keep moving," I said, my voice tight with urgency.325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNGZF6Jc6L
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34jDx7UBQY
Maya nodded, her face pale but determined. Sasha was silent, her eyes filled with tears. Evelyn looked back at the mansion, her expression unreadable.325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRm6Oq4wLb
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78b9GeEemq
"Come on," I said, grabbing her arm. "We can't stop now."325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSNQRaXemt
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPzrIvltUk
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.325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqAWnqK5rH
