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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOe6xAOaAm
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpK06PbXstg
"There!" I shouted, pointing toward the gate. "We're almost there!"234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTxvXjbJlR
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzKc5o1oJT
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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8Nif32DUG
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJw6Z8ZT52
"No!" Maya cried, her voice trembling. "What do we do now?"234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWdPHiP60Y
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyA57Fq9URS
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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibzDODRuy1
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGgeplmouj
"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."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5HnyGbeTC
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAGNPBb89l
"Safer?" Sasha snapped, her voice rising with panic. "Are you kidding me? Those things are in there!"234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYVmU6BUkm
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebWSxGOjxL
"We don't have a choice!" Evelyn shot back, her eyes wide with desperation. "We can't stay here!"234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwTNV06zpI
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GuicUoa8C
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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWj3xg9JLZr
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLqDybz4Oj
"Fine," I said, my voice firm. "Back to the mansion. Now!"234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJAaaScQ7t
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQk6049lbWg
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!"234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmArP0cv6tr
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMQ0lb3IBN
"Keep running!" I yelled, grabbing her arm and pulling her forward.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkPEnjtpCI
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyOUDVzhlT
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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaorUeshSb
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDrdGUcJ3Z
"Sasha!" I screamed, my voice filled with anguish as the creature's hand pierced through her back, its bloodied claws emerging from her ribs.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWI0EUqDoy
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjBdVNYjnc
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!"234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzItJ2E7gkP
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjQCvqgkZU
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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rmxHbGFYv
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3waN6KkcE
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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4q4o47rSY
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQM34kaXJnr
"Where do we go?" Maya asked, her voice tight with fear.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShwrOQsalh
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpD5Y461SC
"Upstairs," Evelyn said, her voice trembling. "We'll hide in one of the rooms."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfM1kQWA6kX
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡag7LjrwCCp
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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8w49S8obTj
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEMeTUOBZy
"In here," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cYY1B6NAF
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhBCmTBh2O
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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSmdexMe3s
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5j5gKXj4nx
"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."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTPvMVM4hi
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYABtllfPuK
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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cnwf5cEqI
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6Ldsjn9x9
"We need to barricade the door!" I said, my voice tight with urgency.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwru2kmKmza
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrsxn8JwP7
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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08Js3OeqDi
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeS8cfVQKOm
"Aargh!" Maya screamed.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbm89PHRsRz
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDA3qqSaUvX
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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUY9qRu1jiK
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFw949GglGs
The sound of her screams echoed through the hallway, growing fainter and fainter until they were swallowed by the darkness.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJvVkxwCsn
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprysde6VCN
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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlqcXbOlbR
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUxqP3STZC
"The closet," I said, my voice tight with urgency. "We'll hide in the closet."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQK3YGLbJfS
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡst0oiaPaPz
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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0f3gndqvL
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCw1ARuiqa
"I'm sorry," Maya whispered, her voice trembling. "For everything. For not believing you. For not being there when you needed me."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JyXmj97BB
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTijd0KMXV
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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgRlU2iFoC
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFJ3DwCc6i
"I forgive you," I said finally, my voice soft but steady. "And I'm sorry too. For pushing you away. For not trusting you."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wawfLANGU
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICSqTgcs9Z
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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNOUZPURwA
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwTQcpf2HQ
But then the sound came again—a low, guttural moan, closer than ever. The monsters were right outside the door.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBvojADobX
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4MvzHfbVM
I closed my eyes, holding Maya tighter. "Whatever happens," I whispered, "I'm glad we're together."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynu6IQMitm
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIYsLMmm1y
Maya nodded, her tears soaking into my shirt. "Me too."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡht4S0mFXVX
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2Un1jmmy3
The sound of the monsters grew louder, their claws scraping against the door. Maya and I held our breath, our hearts pounding in unison.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfjNh3mEeW
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIDQTozq3v
And then, silence.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9tuSyWhW6
