The garden stretched out before us, the moonlight casting long, eerie shadows across the grass. The sound of the creatures' moans echoed behind us, growing louder with each passing second. We ran, our breaths ragged and our hearts pounding, the mansion's gate looming in the distance.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycHmn74Lsz
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84Hr1rfpAC
"There!" I shouted, pointing toward the gate. "We're almost there!"691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeVpO7yW5u
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPODOQKDCjq
But as we reached the gate, my heart sank. It was locked, the heavy iron bars unmovable. I grabbed the gate and shook it, but it didn't budge.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbJ8XWB2qD
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAcF3zsoBA
"No!" Maya cried, her voice trembling. "What do we do now?"691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLt7JsLcMr
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkMrY6sYbq
I glanced around, desperation clawing at my chest. The walls surrounding the garden were too high and smooth to climb, and the creatures were closing in fast.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMK4UCcHsbR
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjV9E8ZyyO
"We have to go back," Evelyn said, her voice tight with fear. "It's too open out here. We'll be safer inside the mansion."691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbyUYGi9Tl
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxvQJur807
"Safer?" Sasha snapped, her voice rising with panic. "Are you kidding me? Those things are in there!"691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJUBFkE5xH
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYK4h1vvDqg
"We don't have a choice!" Evelyn shot back, her eyes wide with desperation. "We can't stay here!"691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHbsGQrOuw
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJXV6AW6yn
The sound of the creatures' moans grew louder, and I turned to see their glowing eyes emerging from the shadows. They were closer than ever.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndKbaNpxRf
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMxpPh5jw3
"Fine," I said, my voice firm. "Back to the mansion. Now!"691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiPIPNGxkW
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcU14UxWbC
We turned and ran, the creatures hot on our heels. Sasha pulled out her phone, her hands trembling as she tried to call for help. "No service!" she shouted, her voice breaking. "There's no damn service!"691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggcUkt8lQF
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LAtqpNIvU
"Keep running!" I yelled, grabbing her arm and pulling her forward.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NewpaeBG1
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNdMlQe5qn
But as we neared the mansion, one of the creatures appeared out of nowhere and lunged toward us. We all dodged, and for a moment, I thought we'd all avoided it. But then I heard Sasha scream. The creature had caught her, its grip like iron. She struggled, her eyes wide with terror.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmGNGKEGfe
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwijIjqjBrg
"Sasha!" I screamed, my voice filled with anguish as the creature's hand pierced through her back, its bloodied claws emerging from her ribs.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVh1j3E6Avd
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyohujvwOo
I started toward her, but Maya held me back. "Look at her!" she cried, her voice trembling. "We can't help her! We have to keep going!"691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7l9kou6Ut1
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qK1l3DkxP
Sasha gasped my name, her voice barely audible over the creature's snarls. "I'm sorry," she whispered, her eyes locking with mine one last time before the creature tore her away.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqJgp1nsq8
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWCRSNNH1z
Tears streamed down my face as I turned and ran, Maya pulling me forward. We burst through the mansion's back door and slammed it shut, our breaths coming in ragged gasps.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTD8fgDvz6J
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAHZFL2kZ3
"Where do we go?" Maya asked, her voice tight with fear.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wWxp9nPvJ
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzN14DLXTP
"Upstairs," Evelyn said, her voice trembling. "We'll hide in one of the rooms."691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj11AVXExmN
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96mWISoLXw
We ran up the stairs, the sound of the creatures' footsteps echoing behind us. We reached a room at the end of the hall, and Evelyn pushed the door open, her hands trembling.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRektvjATVZ
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtpHtIxcds
"In here," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWmemCWu6i
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRH5KmK6Gd
We stepped inside, and I closed the door behind us, my heart pounding in my chest. The room was dark, the air heavy with the scent of dust and decay. Evelyn leaned against the wall, her face pale and her eyes wide with fear.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIibaJqJ4C
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDvKo91po9
"I think… I think my father might be responsible for all this," she said, her voice trembling. "He's always been obsessed with preserving the past. He couldn't let go of my grandparents. He must've found a way to bring them back... as those things."691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeDOJZYANZ
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrpfCIYhRX
Before I could respond, the door shuddered, the sound of claws scraping against wood filling the room. The creatures were outside, their guttural moans growing louder.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5RDVax1lh
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8CBYXdKWE
"We need to barricade the door!" I said, my voice tight with urgency.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqJX6n8mMO
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWnAxVsxVD
But before we could move, the door burst open, and a creature's hand shot through the gap, its claws digging into Evelyn's arm. She screamed, her eyes wide with terror as the creature pulled her outside.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5mNJnDcew
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNqlRs3WS2
"Aargh!" Maya screamed.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizbsEND6WO
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CjLh6IVLF
I grabbed Evelyn's other arm, pulling with all my strength, but the creature was too strong. Its claws dug deeper into her flesh, and she let out a bloodcurdling scream as it yanked her through the door and out of my grip.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOiC2E8CSV
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJZzeVbuIT
The sound of her screams echoed through the hallway, growing fainter and fainter until they were swallowed by the darkness.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11MW1x7pRj
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQa7YYkpva
Maya and I stood frozen, our breaths coming in ragged gasps. The creatures were just outside, their snarls filling the air. We had nowhere left to run.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7rXH84wIx
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzk3ddEdr3
"The closet," I said, my voice tight with urgency. "We'll hide in the closet."691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bX7wSRgTN
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrRyKwjL8U
We ran to the closet and stepped inside, closing the door behind us. The air was thick with the scent of dust and fear, the sound of the creatures' moans growing louder outside.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMg2WIKnmm
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXtjNeMMsK
"I'm sorry," Maya whispered, her voice trembling. "For everything. For not believing you. For not being there when you needed me."691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSRjCpxkUq
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0yCwDP8sl
I hesitated, my heart pounding in my chest. I could feel Maya's tears against my shoulder, her body shaking with silent sobs. For a moment, the weight of everything we'd been through pressed down on us—the addiction, the fights, the distance that had grown between us.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0L9KSd4ck
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1FIEp6Jvh
"I forgive you," I said finally, my voice soft but steady. "And I'm sorry too. For pushing you away. For not trusting you."691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWKFJBkPRg
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TKfozn4e5
Maya let out a choked sob, her arms tightening around me. We hugged each other tightly, the warmth of our embrace a stark contrast to the cold, dark closet. For a moment, it felt like nothing else mattered—not the monsters outside, not the mansion, not the horrors we'd faced. It was just the two of us, as it had always been.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMQ0w4c1Dd
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlheoHgEuQ0
But then the sound came again—a low, guttural moan, closer than ever. The monsters were right outside the door.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoKxPnxjC2
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr01K8ZCfYc
I closed my eyes, holding Maya tighter. "Whatever happens," I whispered, "I'm glad we're together."691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XxE8IxWCS
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetq9EvcihI
Maya nodded, her tears soaking into my shirt. "Me too."691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNtciYviLj
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFp6Gz7msC
The sound of the monsters grew louder, their claws scraping against the door. Maya and I held our breath, our hearts pounding in unison.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjRXafnwVg
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdj8ibjJgQm
And then, silence.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZ0XJ8ndMh
