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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlCBZkV6B4
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmBBFE0nP4
"There!" I shouted, pointing toward the gate. "We're almost there!"234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAib0fop8zT
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbExAS5geUe
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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzoF7EQRcJ
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrMZQMj6uh
"No!" Maya cried, her voice trembling. "What do we do now?"234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8f5RzWLLq
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FrG2tzsrW
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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzNhuZDCn2
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQo86choks
"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."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08BpjaBHwn
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlZJOteXij
"Safer?" Sasha snapped, her voice rising with panic. "Are you kidding me? Those things are in there!"234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLrFN8LoqF
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQjZX15z2v
"We don't have a choice!" Evelyn shot back, her eyes wide with desperation. "We can't stay here!"234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡam7F6OTSVt
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96TBJQDYiG
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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoMxSpigx0
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVLuO1Nkjq
"Fine," I said, my voice firm. "Back to the mansion. Now!"234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmBtqJ0y2F
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3WzhyNQce
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!"234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFKEhlJVnO
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5ZZ6xtfCc
"Keep running!" I yelled, grabbing her arm and pulling her forward.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPO1uEYOxU9
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswgftp6nFk
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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZajYPlCR88
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjxGrzOSv3
"Sasha!" I screamed, my voice filled with anguish as the creature's hand pierced through her back, its bloodied claws emerging from her ribs.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSc7NSDACYO
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1deY5aHJbc
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!"234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQ3aNGoE2z
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAg2i9sXwc
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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HVYnsExHV
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡco1pdozlRz
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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AqVaEC1BE
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXR9m4QG4A
"Where do we go?" Maya asked, her voice tight with fear.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZdCaOoc6N
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysylEhQzbs
"Upstairs," Evelyn said, her voice trembling. "We'll hide in one of the rooms."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1wz77gxkX
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbcaB48ord
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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEHJgL9p9n
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0eHPeahRd
"In here," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6UmBzrYDj
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75Mu4huu1g
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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhtbT1IWu0
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPVjub2XgC
"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."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EUqNizaXZ
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVkVpgIf7R
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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ek9K7PlNP
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VSRCUg5Kf
"We need to barricade the door!" I said, my voice tight with urgency.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8ItEs7Ufe
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGBydM6Ji7
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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIukX3Ebld
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoP9vhHAev
"Aargh!" Maya screamed.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZ6e58hnjy
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevlYjs4wNd
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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6G67Ml86IG
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ijyLfyw5d
The sound of her screams echoed through the hallway, growing fainter and fainter until they were swallowed by the darkness.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuOhR2gjfi
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzHFtvAqwd
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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUTuOMExRj
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1NEYBzPUq
"The closet," I said, my voice tight with urgency. "We'll hide in the closet."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiI6PPlBWqM
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEtQQ8lFFu
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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1w4qmF7G2U
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPxtztedxH
"I'm sorry," Maya whispered, her voice trembling. "For everything. For not believing you. For not being there when you needed me."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1EpfKdp0c
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxj9qlHp4ds
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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfidK9E5Bo
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWHnvxxxAD
"I forgive you," I said finally, my voice soft but steady. "And I'm sorry too. For pushing you away. For not trusting you."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLI45m2M1w
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNk9MgAqHMC
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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOgyomQOaN
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGvyFcyQ0R
But then the sound came again—a low, guttural moan, closer than ever. The monsters were right outside the door.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMs1r0U8CM
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxNlJIgN44
I closed my eyes, holding Maya tighter. "Whatever happens," I whispered, "I'm glad we're together."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKscCth74Vy
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePi6876dZf
Maya nodded, her tears soaking into my shirt. "Me too."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtemlf0rb2p
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7ertabsYN
The sound of the monsters grew louder, their claws scraping against the door. Maya and I held our breath, our hearts pounding in unison.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2swzYkPQtH
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ163oBLiFjq
And then, silence.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqOQu9DodW
