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.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7Tvwt184M

"We need to move," I said, my voice low but firm. "Now."180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSJEFCD8VZ
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnN0qDhv1PX
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."180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbiifUd7F1
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWfRop3sOm
"And if it's locked?" Maya asked, her voice trembling.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVwvDlT39C
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgXitVH9EQ
"It's not," Evelyn said, "Mom is always forgetful, so she leaves the key in the keyhole."180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc00B39cPqH
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIzSLv2uZr
We exchanged uneasy glances. Evelyn seemed genuinely confused about what was going on in her own house. Hopefully, she was right about this.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kn3e7qwlJ
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06l61q1l2G
"Stay close," I said, stepping toward the door. "And don't stop for anything."180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohiMpqK49M
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTGYLihFia
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.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9g2k42SSd
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBIfDGFy4A
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.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SduGgbZb9
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH03sFhl8ma
The moans grew louder, and the air grew colder. The creature was following us.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtXF8i2AXH
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZSJedQylw
"Faster," I whispered, my heart pounding in my chest.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsk6KM022iZ
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEbR5PXYA4
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.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2rOOaVIqb
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkD2ORyn27
"Run!" I shouted, pulling the others forward to get ahead of me, starting with Sasha, Masha, Maya, then Evelyn.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokLm90ubIz
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEQM7cIFGZ
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."180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSAYZszzfC
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdFIbNeswA
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!"180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxmCYu62z9
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQ0emdZFQ2
"Hendrick, no!" Maya screamed, her voice breaking.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPS9DqNoDxz
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBATqlD3KF
"Just go!" Hendrick snapped, his eyes never leaving the creature. "I'll buy you time!"180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeokpebpy9G
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDsGzlI28v
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.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRRq2ZbEzp
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9ZGK9l9ZV
"Go!" he shouted again, his voice strained.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvcAdzpotc
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuVLpkPkm9
I grabbed Maya's arm, pulling her away. "We have to go!" I said, my voice tight with urgency.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfxgKZdmgc
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGgxMIQAu0
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.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tnVqvzM7d

180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yZ2OJNUwl
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.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWd5lMW178
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiS8N78H3d
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.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdT91097yez
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZup2IYfQPx
Another creature stepped out of the shadows, its glowing eyes fixed on us. It was smaller than the first, but no less terrifying.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzN67U3Iu0Y
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn203kdedkl
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.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZX18iEMFTz
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwyEFmNn0x
"What the hell are you guys doing!" Masha shouted, her voice sharp. "Run."180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLS1QeH2GT
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeqVIK1gKo
I hesitated, my heart pounding in my chest. "Masha..."180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpl9WqraMPv
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4M1brsjWk
"Don't worry," she said, forcing a small smile. "I'm right behind you."180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWeP4TJgjF
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qCTZjb3FA
We started for the door, but the creature grabbed Masha.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6tzV9ZKSt
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdD00llnQ0i
"No!"180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3SfG9Dwiz
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9AX1y37dx
"Keep going!" she insisted, struggling against the creature's grip.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsILSeW30vD
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPArrl7XYi0
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.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWCccOzE62

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.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeKzssQVj6
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBSTVrX4Ql
The sound of the creatures' moans echoed behind us, growing louder with each passing second. They were coming.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrhNimvhr9
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkKgmxXYRp
"We need to keep moving," I said, my voice tight with urgency.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqRiNFUqM7
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEl1cANSvxs
Maya nodded, her face pale but determined. Sasha was silent, her eyes filled with tears. Evelyn looked back at the mansion, her expression unreadable.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhYFhgJ24j
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOtZR40Efo
"Come on," I said, grabbing her arm. "We can't stop now."180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcgK5UZnry
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXAfbbpmZ4
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.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhSjJdL9XR
