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.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZZildBhsL
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJPMyG7fb6
"There!" I shouted, pointing toward the gate. "We're almost there!"233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOBj8uKE7h
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWdbNIPVI2
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.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuoQqhfDjn
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuyHhSEWdQ
"No!" Maya cried, her voice trembling. "What do we do now?"233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJzNXMxQUO
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cWLwHm2wo
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.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvupAxCcsde
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Lkrc8XGCa
"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."233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6r5Keaxl3J
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiresMruSjP
"Safer?" Sasha snapped, her voice rising with panic. "Are you kidding me? Those things are in there!"233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmc9jg378Rd
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TSlJQ9JNX
"We don't have a choice!" Evelyn shot back, her eyes wide with desperation. "We can't stay here!"233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesR3aaxXfy
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57yJ3RNzAJ
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.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtx7hXYOFD
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI77Wa4Gsek
"Fine," I said, my voice firm. "Back to the mansion. Now!"233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmWjmWxaQP
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxwfzGeyrB
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!"233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4pwYpXPWM
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymWDN3QKtl
"Keep running!" I yelled, grabbing her arm and pulling her forward.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrrjckSlj9
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kvci16DrR
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.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfq4RhrHtA
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21Sq9yuXU7
"Sasha!" I screamed, my voice filled with anguish as the creature's hand pierced through her back, its bloodied claws emerging from her ribs.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNsyeYCPPU
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMB59736ys
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!"233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHjt7gYn4i
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf23GXWHAcE
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.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QaVQuzHk9
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb08QfC10oD
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.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfxUuUKujS
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EsIDVfWM0
"Where do we go?" Maya asked, her voice tight with fear.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjB0qh8R3md
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhEzzpFyc0
"Upstairs," Evelyn said, her voice trembling. "We'll hide in one of the rooms."233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuj5jhU1ReT
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGk5aG6J8Fv
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.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgWOsje97B
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6T6CXbqWp
"In here," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Rp0lYMgBK
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7F8T01jFDS
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.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8msjjhmmgx
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKQPmcXHU1
"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."233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQqOpzOAdA
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRX8Tq1Svs
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.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgweYZmS1ow
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aq88ogFtA
"We need to barricade the door!" I said, my voice tight with urgency.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDr5i3RMtOm
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8TCCCftAn
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.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivGsHUmKvF
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjYM5JC3GU
"Aargh!" Maya screamed.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmwbt5pYxQ
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CG7EVFpVB
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.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5Vs2paqbn
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkeMmnSEqa
The sound of her screams echoed through the hallway, growing fainter and fainter until they were swallowed by the darkness.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Zq0wemK0l
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanlU5Zs6x8
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.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IHfhcS8XJ
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMo53gSim4
"The closet," I said, my voice tight with urgency. "We'll hide in the closet."233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsjl2wRSGv
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTbeP8lF2e
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.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9i5rB6dnK
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr68OwkSw0s
"I'm sorry," Maya whispered, her voice trembling. "For everything. For not believing you. For not being there when you needed me."233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUhjn8oyTx
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfrIAqyH0B
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.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXM8dBvZf2F
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1AUk1AYUp
"I forgive you," I said finally, my voice soft but steady. "And I'm sorry too. For pushing you away. For not trusting you."233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GP5sDC0fw
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDdBuBKHSo
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.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcboPWl8chi
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSO0bUTCVL
But then the sound came again—a low, guttural moan, closer than ever. The monsters were right outside the door.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacIeHwZ1Ue
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1xCbueYPj
I closed my eyes, holding Maya tighter. "Whatever happens," I whispered, "I'm glad we're together."233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3Uv6jpikh
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GopmP6UWT
Maya nodded, her tears soaking into my shirt. "Me too."233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCajQUu1aTI
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKjFOotWYb
The sound of the monsters grew louder, their claws scraping against the door. Maya and I held our breath, our hearts pounding in unison.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHpcn9cbRZ
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Z6Ds6YoJl
And then, silence.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbVlSJQRjN
