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.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjdF78LSOE

"We need to move," I said, my voice low but firm. "Now."248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWfrplz4Ak
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfebl1pO2PK
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."248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLt1bNWEldf
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8uD1cmqw1
"And if it's locked?" Maya asked, her voice trembling.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yBg8qEsnP
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmZU1VxtfD
"It's not," Evelyn said, "Mom is always forgetful, so she leaves the key in the keyhole."248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibqAvMWKlq
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzYwpym5Do
We exchanged uneasy glances. Evelyn seemed genuinely confused about what was going on in her own house. Hopefully, she was right about this.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYPP8Tayhu
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXILaPPl8A
"Stay close," I said, stepping toward the door. "And don't stop for anything."248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFFHa56m05
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wDuZd7Pec
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.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWg2ktXpehm
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9TvGweUbG
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.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6hPBgSqrT
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22NOkHKTwG
The moans grew louder, and the air grew colder. The creature was following us.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wDPwUXci8
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCq2TBnAby
"Faster," I whispered, my heart pounding in my chest.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Q7O4qojXl
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjavsNC03es
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.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvd9GloNXK
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9STcOdt9N
"Run!" I shouted, pulling the others forward to get ahead of me, starting with Sasha, Masha, Maya, then Evelyn.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb28Zu0O3cI
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTYMLphqrk
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."248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIY2ukFVYnq
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8jVzKy0qy
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!"248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKRcY5PUxz
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoT6no1BdpR
"Hendrick, no!" Maya screamed, her voice breaking.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aHmVqAzxj
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcnvcduzWK
"Just go!" Hendrick snapped, his eyes never leaving the creature. "I'll buy you time!"248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKh5DhBQ7d
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDQYL7IBJU
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.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVnnpKoioe
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSYJRFvJS6
"Go!" he shouted again, his voice strained.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOY4zjURtIW
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC11EBOJ2wU
I grabbed Maya's arm, pulling her away. "We have to go!" I said, my voice tight with urgency.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKwxPKhrQJ
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmuuArMz4l
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.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUk0o2f88Nr

248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnZM6QBybd
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.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4kpWEpdwU
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnYQyDqxy9
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.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmzSk5UIu8
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozAdJEowg8
Another creature stepped out of the shadows, its glowing eyes fixed on us. It was smaller than the first, but no less terrifying.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡap11oolm57
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwK4G60fg2
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.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsh596W0I3
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFJ0zEVZvr
"What the hell are you guys doing!" Masha shouted, her voice sharp. "Run."248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVQPXvhMQp
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5d8CDTJjo9
I hesitated, my heart pounding in my chest. "Masha..."248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7t8236s7jI
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVkV7K4lRR
"Don't worry," she said, forcing a small smile. "I'm right behind you."248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHFx2PLxxV
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimeP0KskMQ
We started for the door, but the creature grabbed Masha.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wPhobnPgS
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiniYieNou
"No!"248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsgI7QCVu4
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOeaLcZWGW
"Keep going!" she insisted, struggling against the creature's grip.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmGjQEqdqq
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6GcbuqPYS
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.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDP2kCe75vz

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.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlp3cRSVAcK
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRuiRwRYZE
The sound of the creatures' moans echoed behind us, growing louder with each passing second. They were coming.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuTvzmuV0N
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgck4VWqfzZ
"We need to keep moving," I said, my voice tight with urgency.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbmtOwvq9X
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVCcD7m2g9
Maya nodded, her face pale but determined. Sasha was silent, her eyes filled with tears. Evelyn looked back at the mansion, her expression unreadable.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL82SI6eixb
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOjNRJUQNy
"Come on," I said, grabbing her arm. "We can't stop now."248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqtnM9vJmC
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5CX9jjaup
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.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vUOMoqB9M
