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.245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDum8HvP5r
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCUk424AIU
"We need to move," I said, my voice low but firm. "Now."245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsgEv6d1VP
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2xotZHrF5
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."245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiES5oEata
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhO5BZwqRzr
"And if it's locked?" Maya asked, her voice trembling.245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaE7zteCG1P
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7ieCHx2os
"It's not," Evelyn said, "Mom is always forgetful, so she leaves the key in the keyhole."245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcNGdU5srm
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLujinj8Tk
We exchanged uneasy glances. Evelyn seemed genuinely confused about what was going on in her own house. Hopefully, she was right about this.245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwkxXiMCR6
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJFhwuIfok
"Stay close," I said, stepping toward the door. "And don't stop for anything."245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRlKYPjSBh
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMdQ2D7Nzu
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.245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHAmK3nlVy
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYyIxe1kko
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.245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxXR2RlqAK
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDUE3yKj0e
The moans grew louder, and the air grew colder. The creature was following us.245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2Dyxv6IqM
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUj7AimaMs
"Faster," I whispered, my heart pounding in my chest.245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmlO6OwrTg
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkhTqiKbuh
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.245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe784zgnxOC
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1t1INgzLO
"Run!" I shouted, pulling the others forward to get ahead of me, starting with Sasha, Masha, Maya, then Evelyn.245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFf3eu6XLtQ
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgD7RXVS0RG
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."245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfHfORt5gO
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTwFTR0lZX
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!"245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbM1lmi9pO8
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3x6vxDcrd
"Hendrick, no!" Maya screamed, her voice breaking.245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkH38cmInrb
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkgAfRCPVs
"Just go!" Hendrick snapped, his eyes never leaving the creature. "I'll buy you time!"245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeAesrqP2B
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMG38W6Znwx
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.245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0HRExX1z7
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxv8S7ezSI0
"Go!" he shouted again, his voice strained.245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ52fkANxpJ
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw52Q0TBSsd
I grabbed Maya's arm, pulling her away. "We have to go!" I said, my voice tight with urgency.245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFidBrfhIhC
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflUCmC8Rks
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.245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUzqZ71Mzm

...245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9fJAzSF8r
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUckhKm8zq
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.245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0ZB1nyQ2C
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjCXg4KeDe
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.245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhwm9fmeEB
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTfffbsTmb
Another creature stepped out of the shadows, its glowing eyes fixed on us. It was smaller than the first, but no less terrifying.245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwASHkxyUO
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRhaKZQOq6
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.245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePO9kzbn61
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLB60WRBzbi
"What the hell are you guys doing!" Masha shouted, her voice sharp. "Run."245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchvvePwSBh
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXm3X5fbhYB
I hesitated, my heart pounding in my chest. "Masha..."245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQY8NzghwR
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWG879KDCw1
"Don't worry," she said, forcing a small smile. "I'm right behind you."245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7gURodjYu
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jAyeTeVQl
We started for the door, but the creature grabbed Masha.245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMcAuM0B3C
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYsfLVhqEf
"No!"245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtoI8OXFZq
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTUrLvE1yZ
"Keep going!" she insisted, struggling against the creature's grip.245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcf673HcTvz
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDL0ZGV5iO
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.245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbswnBd62Zs

...245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0KePSodT4
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ehMJeM6dh
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.245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdUkkenH56
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5D4gOY5AR
The sound of the creatures' moans echoed behind us, growing louder with each passing second. They were coming.245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtArA8JkCsI
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZpvAhjmnr
"We need to keep moving," I said, my voice tight with urgency.245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtI7L9Y260q
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdw4FBMmoU
Maya nodded, her face pale but determined. Sasha was silent, her eyes filled with tears. Evelyn looked back at the mansion, her expression unreadable.245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEA24NE9bby
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOomn6UuK5k
"Come on," I said, grabbing her arm. "We can't stop now."245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXotU9Rmp3U
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplhmbQ4g7e
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.245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡws83CMmpLk
