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.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfOAUOlWCX

"We need to move," I said, my voice low but firm. "Now."247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrucnMkWYaa
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFMr9tSWtS
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."247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdK9SKet2oS
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5xni2pKXw
"And if it's locked?" Maya asked, her voice trembling.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNfJkzjAG0
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK03x3A3Dep
"It's not," Evelyn said, "Mom is always forgetful, so she leaves the key in the keyhole."247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOuXXCynJy
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilv2Uv307Z
We exchanged uneasy glances. Evelyn seemed genuinely confused about what was going on in her own house. Hopefully, she was right about this.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RLW8CcVeX
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvXvTPCt2v
"Stay close," I said, stepping toward the door. "And don't stop for anything."247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulrXKhM2aq
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKxSi1g8Mn
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.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF48jMoJTCY
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMr9SKgekxH
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.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqYqtfMR2D
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtvB4zN0uu
The moans grew louder, and the air grew colder. The creature was following us.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWYG6CDsll
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdh70wdhX8d
"Faster," I whispered, my heart pounding in my chest.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXCa8vQAe0
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoKVKdyFdP
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.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yA8DtFHLh
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayIQBXMpi2
"Run!" I shouted, pulling the others forward to get ahead of me, starting with Sasha, Masha, Maya, then Evelyn.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeq5y462unI
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlSmCT9yb7
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."247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECnHuRXKco
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfCu6nvceh
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!"247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVRM0EVF48
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ56eme4leE
"Hendrick, no!" Maya screamed, her voice breaking.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55EWUoHJBc
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUPiSj0FoA
"Just go!" Hendrick snapped, his eyes never leaving the creature. "I'll buy you time!"247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfFGL7LHee
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGE5arVfyZ
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.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUDvkiBCo4
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1xoRTR926
"Go!" he shouted again, his voice strained.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8DEvF3XW1
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hdxhBMu6a
I grabbed Maya's arm, pulling her away. "We have to go!" I said, my voice tight with urgency.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXlK5ajcZ0
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJV9DVzS3V0
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.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2y2T6Tf9B

247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRTvAHkVOt
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.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mypzzVtEr
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfA8HYi8OA
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.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡop4obbL1W1
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjrq542E1h
Another creature stepped out of the shadows, its glowing eyes fixed on us. It was smaller than the first, but no less terrifying.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lTyPhYaBE
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugVocU15ms
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.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JqrvUtM16
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5FskASsdu
"What the hell are you guys doing!" Masha shouted, her voice sharp. "Run."247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjU3qIgVYP
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXMq5fVPkA
I hesitated, my heart pounding in my chest. "Masha..."247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHAHsjhZXO
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuLQQiYo2G
"Don't worry," she said, forcing a small smile. "I'm right behind you."247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvreWUMIDJ
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSBHajF04C
We started for the door, but the creature grabbed Masha.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDllOCz6xtB
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3MUqMyXw7
"No!"247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzeRGZPNSq
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8oQGhZwDh
"Keep going!" she insisted, struggling against the creature's grip.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOr128NVnl
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEPXZ28bbG
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.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5w9BS3MXZ

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.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZfCLsxIO2
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYddvEJHx0D
The sound of the creatures' moans echoed behind us, growing louder with each passing second. They were coming.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwo4SDWkz0
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqMGDf2Y3F
"We need to keep moving," I said, my voice tight with urgency.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD984VuZMF4
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOyA1DtZgd
Maya nodded, her face pale but determined. Sasha was silent, her eyes filled with tears. Evelyn looked back at the mansion, her expression unreadable.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDiFeK3ZVU
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rfHUBc4HI
"Come on," I said, grabbing her arm. "We can't stop now."247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryiP0HHgbW
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8dAZOgSTM
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.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OlNHcskSx
