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.244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkMkqnShN9
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHlSL6Ijn9
"We need to move," I said, my voice low but firm. "Now."244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nVpzhR4dF
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNt8kGyimG
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."244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUQEcE9kau
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMDfSC30qt
"And if it's locked?" Maya asked, her voice trembling.244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cYl3jGWZW
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOsZexmCGx
"It's not," Evelyn said, "Mom is always forgetful, so she leaves the key in the keyhole."244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjdRDHCzHt
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpsFQATeOF
We exchanged uneasy glances. Evelyn seemed genuinely confused about what was going on in her own house. Hopefully, she was right about this.244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsNLeJxvau
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50k5soYEFR
"Stay close," I said, stepping toward the door. "And don't stop for anything."244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18EgpUmQGD
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpXqTCRgtb
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.244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhZdyt4CrJ
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZw3pLFVRG
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.244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIB8bS8EIuu
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkpO4BLRur
The moans grew louder, and the air grew colder. The creature was following us.244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jnzlYx4z7
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAhSbE6FYK
"Faster," I whispered, my heart pounding in my chest.244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZE2oFqfrY
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuMwzrrJXu
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.244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXDeQ657VL
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoohbTfWgn
"Run!" I shouted, pulling the others forward to get ahead of me, starting with Sasha, Masha, Maya, then Evelyn.244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuWzPToICW
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMcRKZIiXx
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."244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9VxnTBkMC
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTjB2pTcEH
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!"244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdPeyJ2qwx
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OmQ3USTS0
"Hendrick, no!" Maya screamed, her voice breaking.244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgKfsotQLj
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcCHg6pl2d
"Just go!" Hendrick snapped, his eyes never leaving the creature. "I'll buy you time!"244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZp5AGgtF9h
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTErAF8TZA
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.244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFDAx6wpHV
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhLdV7Qlaj
"Go!" he shouted again, his voice strained.244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJIqafNTUz
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhy53LwneZK
I grabbed Maya's arm, pulling her away. "We have to go!" I said, my voice tight with urgency.244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsJBBzixkN
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDR97hIX94
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.244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXivazklap

...244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOeRMRF8F0
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplt5VWPkGS
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.244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjWrQ4KuBd
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0dd5pbosP
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.244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvHDdDuaoS
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbbZUgORxR
Another creature stepped out of the shadows, its glowing eyes fixed on us. It was smaller than the first, but no less terrifying.244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCkin2MSlI
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ivq0HHHX4
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.244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupytJHUlyt
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCW7GS9CeIy
"What the hell are you guys doing!" Masha shouted, her voice sharp. "Run."244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7ju57zXAD
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSw39HSqRXo
I hesitated, my heart pounding in my chest. "Masha..."244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAKv8ifnAN
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcoTrKHIPO
"Don't worry," she said, forcing a small smile. "I'm right behind you."244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2uuuBG0zq
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayhAIqZ31Z
We started for the door, but the creature grabbed Masha.244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyKvNH9Efq
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvi9fJD6aMd
"No!"244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0n8GWgUhU
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTddIbcf7CD
"Keep going!" she insisted, struggling against the creature's grip.244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48oxJnWy4Z
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTwEh1HvY7
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.244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwQnqH0vXJ

...244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQjdZyUWzK
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90crtGg1IB
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.244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQkClOMa4N
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWepvou3HNV
The sound of the creatures' moans echoed behind us, growing louder with each passing second. They were coming.244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWaKrLURPU
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiCU4be7TR
"We need to keep moving," I said, my voice tight with urgency.244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hcwLvQvtd
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiv0dRrRJ0h
Maya nodded, her face pale but determined. Sasha was silent, her eyes filled with tears. Evelyn looked back at the mansion, her expression unreadable.244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIIiuzVbEw
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlYWsxTwZm
"Come on," I said, grabbing her arm. "We can't stop now."244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWmL96EAqT
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlyurPQCxq
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.244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRQeKaQKmG
