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.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNN8SrH7Ujg
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmfOEkZNkv
"There!" I shouted, pointing toward the gate. "We're almost there!"176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpN2vePm0R0
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3AocD9iRE
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.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gea7twMZF
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MQYqNyV9p
"No!" Maya cried, her voice trembling. "What do we do now?"176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhP3pZIg7XR
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7tEQss055
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.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQfYOJCZeD
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVXk12iNC1
"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."176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6XkrB5Ou7
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGpnv5qQJI
"Safer?" Sasha snapped, her voice rising with panic. "Are you kidding me? Those things are in there!"176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwzc8Sp46E
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jMsgLywM9
"We don't have a choice!" Evelyn shot back, her eyes wide with desperation. "We can't stay here!"176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKYFcC4uyJ
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3SaAQZXIZ
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.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCui2rDVdD
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflIkE3SOQs
"Fine," I said, my voice firm. "Back to the mansion. Now!"176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOun4wkQHW
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIy8whi0Na
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!"176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbQ9SQ9Hoz
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sZSWmfN2H
"Keep running!" I yelled, grabbing her arm and pulling her forward.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHv4yn4tII
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRlMhCW8cK
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.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJMU0zkfTk
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHiOVN0qms
"Sasha!" I screamed, my voice filled with anguish as the creature's hand pierced through her back, its bloodied claws emerging from her ribs.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaJojePEuD
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9vFOz6ZPp
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!"176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwjcaq0I8C
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtRT9HFSq4
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.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiqCTNQoWc
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWAu7Rgspr
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.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDb4F6qCkN
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrToItU4p6a
"Where do we go?" Maya asked, her voice tight with fear.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡne8ev52RKR
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1oZPZKIA7
"Upstairs," Evelyn said, her voice trembling. "We'll hide in one of the rooms."176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiavu23ZZiW
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0tqmWkTwf
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.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltpiNjsGtn
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfVgHpP0ZV
"In here," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xOZ53VDUG
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3xI8ovDde
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.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqZ99QQ4RD
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BK5jIyAGx
"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."176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFyrDW4mZn
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEz5F1DAYp
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.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyCtBjxlJa
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBOFVaHRBN
"We need to barricade the door!" I said, my voice tight with urgency.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIVc4IQf1y
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGtTU9xBFK
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.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEog715TnWw
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJa90Exd9T
"Aargh!" Maya screamed.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSnNOMfMjo
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoUFbgoZf8
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.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmWIP5uLHt
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8rtm0zp8E
The sound of her screams echoed through the hallway, growing fainter and fainter until they were swallowed by the darkness.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xu6r9oeNs
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0agZ3pYwUM
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.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7bDHq5sps
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonEI6vYNxF
"The closet," I said, my voice tight with urgency. "We'll hide in the closet."176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXugpDS5pH
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTC3oEItLe
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.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFvzlklp1t
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjNn2pnQs1
"I'm sorry," Maya whispered, her voice trembling. "For everything. For not believing you. For not being there when you needed me."176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4p5KGDUntz
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLS0xxhccqQ
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.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiM9ZAv7ghe
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡst0080t7DL
"I forgive you," I said finally, my voice soft but steady. "And I'm sorry too. For pushing you away. For not trusting you."176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMECPfdv9A
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0fo58I82k
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.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeZVjMgKhy
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzp5hFeXkZp
But then the sound came again—a low, guttural moan, closer than ever. The monsters were right outside the door.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNDFgO6NKq
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYmAzxvrtG
I closed my eyes, holding Maya tighter. "Whatever happens," I whispered, "I'm glad we're together."176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz10VjrbukM
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Vhdgim5iY
Maya nodded, her tears soaking into my shirt. "Me too."176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BmbINuGNe
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjKXoIIdki
The sound of the monsters grew louder, their claws scraping against the door. Maya and I held our breath, our hearts pounding in unison.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaj99naCSa
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTIc2BFCJM
And then, silence.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIS2b9oVp0b
