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.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNe6FrFRde
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWgOhVYBAk
"There!" I shouted, pointing toward the gate. "We're almost there!"236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0Jo9sDMJ1
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCa6ZXOTALe
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.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqfpQSqkne
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1PfuLUQMA
"No!" Maya cried, her voice trembling. "What do we do now?"236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTi9h8hyOz
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1aejE36Bb
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.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWF6b5lIbqR
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsevnmhf3Zn
"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."236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12RLHiMQSK
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1MsWh18KQ
"Safer?" Sasha snapped, her voice rising with panic. "Are you kidding me? Those things are in there!"236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYCIsK6XZx
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXfbvIliwc
"We don't have a choice!" Evelyn shot back, her eyes wide with desperation. "We can't stay here!"236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyF7TmJeYF
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohF2ForLVk
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.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAp2kEW6kJ
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhlfXyIWdE
"Fine," I said, my voice firm. "Back to the mansion. Now!"236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6LacIKzSV
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMHUALxNJn
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!"236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDeFFAo2a8
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oa8xw79RP
"Keep running!" I yelled, grabbing her arm and pulling her forward.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLokY2vsIv6
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRO7Pa9rHDw
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.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzr0vKLQiV
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvjpUIxuLs
"Sasha!" I screamed, my voice filled with anguish as the creature's hand pierced through her back, its bloodied claws emerging from her ribs.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaMVB04JdP
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3fVbpaOlx
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!"236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnMbSS6d2v
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6qkgF6EuY
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.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoAawer4aq
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAE1CS9sOa
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.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLsd3wEd34
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaieR2an8w
"Where do we go?" Maya asked, her voice tight with fear.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DcgYcJWk7
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmR61do9Z81
"Upstairs," Evelyn said, her voice trembling. "We'll hide in one of the rooms."236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kWaHrxEwV
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MItMpBGPX
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.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVktL0whl7
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRMEhihWEM
"In here," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziluXdXWAA
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyOZgljUP1
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.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbZLhBPE0U
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMiPOGTvJX
"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."236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNvJSp6mxM
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLCsYRpKPc
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.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWLL1pFqHh
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDRLELxoQL
"We need to barricade the door!" I said, my voice tight with urgency.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTz9BBcDklt
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6mVy9yg06
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.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBg2urpv14
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU78wMa1Tth
"Aargh!" Maya screamed.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCLrnY650m
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7L7DRbXGF
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.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16jZybkD8S
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxVGwUbtWY
The sound of her screams echoed through the hallway, growing fainter and fainter until they were swallowed by the darkness.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbg7lrOFve
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGMAROvFHs
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.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFCVCi1kPS
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsycPRqrG7x
"The closet," I said, my voice tight with urgency. "We'll hide in the closet."236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfK6IIWL8K1
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9xnAwLUgV
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.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GoHNT58ho
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCU5ecWn3k
"I'm sorry," Maya whispered, her voice trembling. "For everything. For not believing you. For not being there when you needed me."236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKg7sI3PDwv
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SRL8Cdw9w
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.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIjBY2qXLU
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG09R3fmT2w
"I forgive you," I said finally, my voice soft but steady. "And I'm sorry too. For pushing you away. For not trusting you."236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEQi98Zc6X
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0sNpPTYJV
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.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFCiXKLjn1
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6We7cner8R
But then the sound came again—a low, guttural moan, closer than ever. The monsters were right outside the door.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCWSoujDka
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7c2z5ZgTQ
I closed my eyes, holding Maya tighter. "Whatever happens," I whispered, "I'm glad we're together."236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyU5Ys6pHF
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSokaTNDJQ
Maya nodded, her tears soaking into my shirt. "Me too."236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbw9oTZOgw
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBzO07bVzP
The sound of the monsters grew louder, their claws scraping against the door. Maya and I held our breath, our hearts pounding in unison.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGe8CA8Sq7S
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOToZXP9k3v
And then, silence.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNQbN9Vc0F
