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.232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBoa4vttbi
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuTuIK14Dm
"There!" I shouted, pointing toward the gate. "We're almost there!"232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffrP6pgrhY
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25mEXCyb36
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.232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsDzdrbAih
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFL8IQ4O6Vz
"No!" Maya cried, her voice trembling. "What do we do now?"232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8OQBVEhTG
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxqWrr50bI
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.232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChcZNKpVJs
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNHKCJWygA
"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."232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNTmXGi6od
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDdpr1csaa
"Safer?" Sasha snapped, her voice rising with panic. "Are you kidding me? Those things are in there!"232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnTCg1Ito0
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7g6XkMwKK
"We don't have a choice!" Evelyn shot back, her eyes wide with desperation. "We can't stay here!"232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoRy2Hji7m
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJGgdcVHOP
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.232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZP7SxVu21
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh73EVrsV5S
"Fine," I said, my voice firm. "Back to the mansion. Now!"232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOu774qbzv0
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDCDa3S9cn
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!"232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44OTyS6YKg
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaogCBRYj5
"Keep running!" I yelled, grabbing her arm and pulling her forward.232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCb4k5rSbn1
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSH3UEZ0Yx
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.232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrm3ETaIAQ
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivuHyzgDSt
"Sasha!" I screamed, my voice filled with anguish as the creature's hand pierced through her back, its bloodied claws emerging from her ribs.232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmGbWQcLXM
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5zT8OJGZL
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!"232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ452hPYf80E
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDZcZBkQEz
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.232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtUHOBhz3V
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEZvIkWKdH
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.232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYQmg4fewR
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TisP3XECy
"Where do we go?" Maya asked, her voice tight with fear.232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzvovb2dxK
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxz05cJybRz
"Upstairs," Evelyn said, her voice trembling. "We'll hide in one of the rooms."232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqt0Ngrz16c
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUcUoNB1Kn
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.232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMc5Qd2oxW
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3hJQZv6iT
"In here," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeB1y6bkKR
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQi6Q0A9COj
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.232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8oYOSDYV5
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMafUVimDV
"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."232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYwlh9QArk
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9iCgAJrEd
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.232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfLOgK0VKk
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Fa3wt5dli
"We need to barricade the door!" I said, my voice tight with urgency.232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7OEFNj6lJ
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMYQBSBaCK
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.232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITebwQ0AOP
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3MeZE2a3f
"Aargh!" Maya screamed.232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2mm0ZHSuY
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8n4tbJwfXs
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.232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBny9PRiE5F
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8KZXQ3HBq
The sound of her screams echoed through the hallway, growing fainter and fainter until they were swallowed by the darkness.232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCom5TDmwiY
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhxe8Wn3uN
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.232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqDIJmwULG
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ir0zQivMq
"The closet," I said, my voice tight with urgency. "We'll hide in the closet."232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOuiST4S5P
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoqbmuBGob
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.232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOrlnbCUK0
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzK3bvJEmK
"I'm sorry," Maya whispered, her voice trembling. "For everything. For not believing you. For not being there when you needed me."232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RmqiZahVV
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRB7ptzvJZ
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.232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlfwcg8SFW
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLcNE8nHtw
"I forgive you," I said finally, my voice soft but steady. "And I'm sorry too. For pushing you away. For not trusting you."232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyQVeQ8Hq1
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxe9xoLz0e3
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.232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwiS9DWBYl
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaUW88ZSdN
But then the sound came again—a low, guttural moan, closer than ever. The monsters were right outside the door.232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74TTDaKCiW
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2zA1tAUT1
I closed my eyes, holding Maya tighter. "Whatever happens," I whispered, "I'm glad we're together."232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehjLsPs6hQ
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2yM71rLvF
Maya nodded, her tears soaking into my shirt. "Me too."232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAygHXjA8k
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGR4JKjl0c
The sound of the monsters grew louder, their claws scraping against the door. Maya and I held our breath, our hearts pounding in unison.232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡki0jBqzPlH
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Bhd7yUGP6
And then, silence.232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3nGXQrHsa
