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.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pMvYRvtpG
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLUH7XKrvj
"There!" I shouted, pointing toward the gate. "We're almost there!"322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtp3qn6TNMd
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiOvufqRTi
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.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyerpaPPGh3
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskWpk2W6Nu
"No!" Maya cried, her voice trembling. "What do we do now?"322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVWQ8qy8Cf
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcnbCWp9bV
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.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXniXizrZ89
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNOk8dyegB
"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."322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvCYe4cJGa
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJqb25GA0r
"Safer?" Sasha snapped, her voice rising with panic. "Are you kidding me? Those things are in there!"322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1n5rkk0fO
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDK3nClHRl
"We don't have a choice!" Evelyn shot back, her eyes wide with desperation. "We can't stay here!"322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRaMHUj0oA
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65Tyq4FEeK
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.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqVwIF0yOh
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiS9H9SPqwr
"Fine," I said, my voice firm. "Back to the mansion. Now!"322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXa8Fbn5KXr
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9rG1WzBiL
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!"322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKK1l6JYjv
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlJ3KBv2ur
"Keep running!" I yelled, grabbing her arm and pulling her forward.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNHSm9M11Y
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRolGYZrBLn
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.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUX6Vh9oRs
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdRWEViy8T
"Sasha!" I screamed, my voice filled with anguish as the creature's hand pierced through her back, its bloodied claws emerging from her ribs.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOesNVBBpCo
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwte6yFSAb
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!"322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgyNCtLvPO
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVYZADsdgC
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.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecjcKcERcE
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzY1ScAIvW
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.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHazGSffTpN
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDKxFxL3Bs
"Where do we go?" Maya asked, her voice tight with fear.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Xa1T8kbNQ
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fm0VePIDG
"Upstairs," Evelyn said, her voice trembling. "We'll hide in one of the rooms."322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWXFEsning
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNeDkRdLph
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.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCzOzXh8Mn
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eKQitffnp
"In here," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamI6wmzhL2
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLeo6HF24C
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.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4QPeHjDTj
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jUEz95z05
"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."322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XmuIzSFuH
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOw77a2Kkr
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.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb68raTYJUD
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVD73EWmbg
"We need to barricade the door!" I said, my voice tight with urgency.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EI5bIWd29
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWqWRopgxm
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.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IuiUEw1Xp
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAwHDlpkBa
"Aargh!" Maya screamed.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVoB5ieMUB
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9GVGRE2Gn
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.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtOOGo9x9t
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRwZEgIjeG
The sound of her screams echoed through the hallway, growing fainter and fainter until they were swallowed by the darkness.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrlEm0uGf9
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Y2f7p43Ad
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.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDffdgNSRZ
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LuQknf9jA
"The closet," I said, my voice tight with urgency. "We'll hide in the closet."322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3RYikikJ9
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcK23F2mRn
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.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWp5NQOc2L
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UuLT7wfRw
"I'm sorry," Maya whispered, her voice trembling. "For everything. For not believing you. For not being there when you needed me."322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCOJbRHYXM
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVMkYZFZV9
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.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0AZuCyYJh
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuwB8TggHj
"I forgive you," I said finally, my voice soft but steady. "And I'm sorry too. For pushing you away. For not trusting you."322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6AdDqbsnc
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4Le63q7x7
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.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfWVOk58gu
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGibOwCLdT
But then the sound came again—a low, guttural moan, closer than ever. The monsters were right outside the door.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzb4VaqwfNr
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLfzwtR36l
I closed my eyes, holding Maya tighter. "Whatever happens," I whispered, "I'm glad we're together."322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4sb8KheiU
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUl1N5cyigB
Maya nodded, her tears soaking into my shirt. "Me too."322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFpYG2bOuK
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IgD55lYc8
The sound of the monsters grew louder, their claws scraping against the door. Maya and I held our breath, our hearts pounding in unison.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgh8ArJZzO
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbGD24ubA0
And then, silence.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQolOYGVV0
