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.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwTrKzIxDA
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVWr18Jt0B
"There!" I shouted, pointing toward the gate. "We're almost there!"138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoGlJdnKOf
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4abXCmtji7
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.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdl1uxHqg3I
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUhras5WtR
"No!" Maya cried, her voice trembling. "What do we do now?"138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgV2n3kqr79
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gBFL6GNgt
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.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatY1IsVZeD
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijecyo8N3Y
"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."138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBRzXmnG5a
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8tI2VVwJ4
"Safer?" Sasha snapped, her voice rising with panic. "Are you kidding me? Those things are in there!"138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NN2MV5u2N
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSvo39MMqq
"We don't have a choice!" Evelyn shot back, her eyes wide with desperation. "We can't stay here!"138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5xwOvdZ6W
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYpfIy8bR8
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.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQ30OZKpga
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡverXhqthGL
"Fine," I said, my voice firm. "Back to the mansion. Now!"138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdGRcBGWYs
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIA9sIpGeaw
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!"138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ccvSnxtDz
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzq5LrxvUhn
"Keep running!" I yelled, grabbing her arm and pulling her forward.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVZWEOpnvM
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ688rUJqECS
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.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdNz4fPSFI
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEXHPnDaYA
"Sasha!" I screamed, my voice filled with anguish as the creature's hand pierced through her back, its bloodied claws emerging from her ribs.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVzYy6KlIA
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cgIaXDbrT
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!"138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4te8aE1xq
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPG9nOTsDZu
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.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuG6zi6BXOl
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztUIoIzXp5
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.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP87sb6YqJc
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOn3bxOHAt
"Where do we go?" Maya asked, her voice tight with fear.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvDTruBy8M
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzDGVqeRLz
"Upstairs," Evelyn said, her voice trembling. "We'll hide in one of the rooms."138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn37AfdyBq7
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1rdZg0CvZ
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.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrWdXGuzXp
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡml7nr2oZQa
"In here," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJWyDz2dHs
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnmBwaaInr
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.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQxGQkpeLU
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOlHpHjA3F
"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."138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLudEBMCBB9
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMs8yeaMM8d
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.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qAauCOARc
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQuzF9jbkn
"We need to barricade the door!" I said, my voice tight with urgency.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcf0OvXjnz
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rxDw2hF3A
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.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8AJu4K31k
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAw4xNJ0fiA
"Aargh!" Maya screamed.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFMgDUhAID
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGV1iP9ERBj
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.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64zQbC7LYm
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiiZaN8dXl
The sound of her screams echoed through the hallway, growing fainter and fainter until they were swallowed by the darkness.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8DHbgkmGV
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwRum3jHIk
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.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiZ1eR2A15
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rnhiFbmXp
"The closet," I said, my voice tight with urgency. "We'll hide in the closet."138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqgUwzqr01
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8pQCsIdX6
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.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNijz7NTOQX
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4z2bJMJoUO
"I'm sorry," Maya whispered, her voice trembling. "For everything. For not believing you. For not being there when you needed me."138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3f9hP0gbf
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRe9whQZp4
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.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaMiH9DZu5
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgl1p5bjt7
"I forgive you," I said finally, my voice soft but steady. "And I'm sorry too. For pushing you away. For not trusting you."138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeFEqWdd0Z
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Vv7Oi3Ino
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.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJ7wrzrztM
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcp0xSp6nQ
But then the sound came again—a low, guttural moan, closer than ever. The monsters were right outside the door.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsyFNpupGS
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvK44cIaOsZ
I closed my eyes, holding Maya tighter. "Whatever happens," I whispered, "I'm glad we're together."138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TS6RkYWns
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcclIfvBmw2
Maya nodded, her tears soaking into my shirt. "Me too."138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOseuaEFUQw
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2mTKgHRRv
The sound of the monsters grew louder, their claws scraping against the door. Maya and I held our breath, our hearts pounding in unison.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4NV6oOyzD
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgGvAT0Aay
And then, silence.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qB7L6agTG
