The living room was dimly lit, the only sound the faint hum of the mansion's ancient air conditioning. We sat in a loose circle on the floor, the tension in the room so thick it felt like it could suffocate us. Hendrick had suggested a game to pass the time while we waited for Evelyn to return with groceries. It was supposed to be fun, but the way he smirked as he shuffled the deck told me this was anything but.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9QzRjSLBd
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIbT39tDp6
"Alright," Hendrick said, his voice dripping with mockery. "Truth or Dare. No backing out."248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKngybHdex
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FfPIc6o68
"Seriously?" I said, raising an eyebrow. "We're not twelve."248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoBNHmVGBa
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOGdepYZak
"Come on," Hendrick shot back, his grin widening. "Don't tell me you're scared."248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfy7bl3i4s
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KBrbsM4py
"I'm not scared," I snapped. "I just think it's stupid."248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnehHyHSMG
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2zRTiXjuF
"Then it shouldn't be a problem," Hendrick said, dealing the cards with a flick of his wrist. His eyes gleamed with mischief as he turned to Maya. "You're up first. Truth or Dare?"248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYQ6YJ8yn3
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3BNiBIzG1
Maya hesitated, glancing at me before answering. "Truth," she said, her voice quiet.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgum7vMZdGu
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38IRMJv7k9
Hendrick leaned forward, his smirk stretching across his face. "Do you really think your sister's been clean since rehab?"248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvshWDFhPwF
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7s4IpePMb
The room fell silent. Maya's eyes widened, and she glanced at me, her expression torn. "I… I don't know," she said finally.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3D5Mh6B2q
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HurPGFdZM
"Maya," I said, my voice sharp. "You know I haven't relapsed."248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryQ91KYqMj
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgjDhGk3U1
"Do I?" Maya shot back, her tone defensive. "You've been so distant lately. How am I supposed to know what you're doing?"248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUWRPjkDLY
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJkNOfRlyQ
"Because I'm your sister," I said, my voice rising. "You're supposed to trust me."248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjQLT8Yj7Q
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7I1sKJmJsQ
"Trust you?" Maya said, her voice shaking. "You're the one who pushed me away. You're the one who stopped coming to the clubhouse. How am I supposed to trust you when you won't even talk to me?"248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFN3zeNfbw
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiplaMU5mf9
The room was silent, the tension thick enough to cut with a knife. Hendrick leaned back, a satisfied smirk on his face. "Looks like we hit a nerve."248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGip0H1hij
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLMUFCSpJY
"Shut up, Hendrick," I snapped, my hands clenched into fists. "This is your fault."248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkSzcSpJ2F
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡob6gRu61GW
"My fault?" Hendrick said, his tone mocking. "I'm not the one who's been avoiding everyone. I'm not the one who's been lying."248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2wJq63zbu
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJf0k1kkX2q
"I haven't been lying!" I shouted, my voice echoing through the room.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDhXD1ypwK
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlJyxdl9Hy
"Prove it," Hendrick said, his eyes narrowing. "It's Maya's turn now. How about you let her pat you down as a dare? If you've got nothing to hide, it shouldn't be a problem."248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtI3OVWDEm4
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIVaFvnolV
"You're unbelievable," I said, my voice low with anger. "I never agreed to a dare, and I'm not doing this regardless."248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQHcVqLYbN
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1zDiT1fH4
"Why not?" Maya said, her voice trembling. "If you've got nothing to hide, why won't you let me?"248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9q10zPboX
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mfqOruqXh
I stared at her, my heart sinking. "You're really going to side with him?"248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsIivTwBIx
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhV9Jze0ajz
Maya hesitated, her eyes flicking between me and Hendrick. "I just… I need to know."248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagbrvNJTlk
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOktcIrUtYZ
"Fine," I said, my voice cold. "Do it."248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyYYTv0RnO
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWJUZinxTG
Maya stepped forward, her hands shaking as she patted me down. The room was silent, the tension unbearable. She pulled a cigarette from the front pocket of my overalls and eyed me suspiciously.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDRRow6KqO
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBVh3miGZk
"That's not an addiction," I said defensively.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlU44jhCWKk
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8LYiMJwFb
"Isn't it?" Maya argued, her voice rising. "Because this is how it begins. First it's cigarettes, then it's alcohol, and then it's hard drugs. I've seen it before."248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITuoDJ49nn
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrwuzjTpDb
"Maya," I started, but before I could say anything else, a sound cut through the silence—a low, guttural moan coming from somewhere deep in the mansion.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lmbl92kcS
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KfzlkvGR1
"What is that sound?" Masha said, her voice low but filled with terror.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6grMQRDKY
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyJ0fKEozk
The moan came again, louder this time, and the air seemed to grow colder. I glanced around the room, my heart pounding. "Guys," I said, my voice tight. "Where are Martin and Hendrick?"248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdFUMw2CZg
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByqmupLtTG
We got up and looked around the living room, the eerie silence amplifying our unease. "Babe?!" Maya shouted, her voice trembling as she searched for Hendrick.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MACrOv4bu
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIu8Vj8ZTbq
"Martin!" Sasha called out, her tone growing more frantic with each passing second.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8T6klwLBlj
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRzGNBhnzY
But instead of a response, we were met with a loud, piercing scream that echoed from the direction of the study. My stomach dropped, and I glanced at Masha, who shared the same wide-eyed expression of dread.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaa1Uviv94k
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywjMJKzmjn
Sasha started toward the study, but I quickly grabbed her arm, shaking my head. My eyes pleaded with her not to follow the sound. She hesitated, her face pale, but before she could argue, a heavy thud reverberated through the mansion, followed by footsteps—slow, deliberate, and growing louder with each step.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVc5MY1DOx
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreIoKGQTMV
Sasha's hand found mine, our fingers interlocking as we braced ourselves for whatever was coming. The footsteps grew closer, echoing through the hallway like a countdown to disaster.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2NZwWayjv
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMKgHDX7NX
Footsteps.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHOcG9PBLp

Footsteps.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3j4KqlfJLm
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0qPVm9He0
The door swung open, and my heart froze for a beat. But it wasn't a monster that emerged—it was Hendrick, his face pale and his clothes splattered with dark, drying blood. His hands trembled as he clutched the doorframe, his breathing ragged.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eS2gpYsxk
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrt8OasTwFo
"Oh my god!" Masha yelped, her voice barely above a whisper.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmdaOx6WxO
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjwOlcWhVr
Maya rushed to his side, her hands trembling as she reached for him. "Babe…" she started, her voice breaking. "What the hell happened?"248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZXzzlDoEA
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DACtBENLR
"That's not my blood," Hendrick said, his tone low and hollow, as if he were speaking from somewhere far away.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5ryLCRqQn
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQk9tasZaG
Sasha's eyes darted toward the study, her voice trembling as she asked, "Where's Martin?"248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7x4GcOfGr3
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6msCo2KIa
Hendrick hesitated, his gaze dropping to the floor. "I… I couldn't stop it," he said, his voice barely audible.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjfaJIpeHk
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhcMygiJmO
"Couldn't stop what?" Sasha demanded, her voice rising.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmX9hWffv3
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmx1iz4Ufgc
"Martin is… dead," Hendrick said, the words hanging heavy in the air.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3F4CaX3uwy
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxkyAdPyuR
Sasha let out a shaky laugh, her voice trembling as she shook her head. "No," she said, her tone desperate. "You two are just pulling a prank on us. This isn't funny."248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwLog7inUz
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8VP5lxBUz
She started for the study, her voice cracking as she called out, "Martin?" But I grabbed her arm, holding her back. Something in Hendrick's expression told me this wasn't a joke.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZJDMO8qy0
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡka0xgg6jQa
"Let me go," Sasha said, her voice firm but trembling. I shook my head, my grip tightening. "Let me go!" she shouted, her voice breaking as she began hitting my chest. "Why won't you let me go?!"248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVUEt9v459
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TEC6zIMxx
Her fists pounded against me, each blow weaker than the last until she finally broke down, collapsing into sobs. I pulled her close, holding her tightly as she cried into my shoulder, her body shaking with grief.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PUeakUMnP
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn407agnMB2
The room was silent except for Sasha's muffled sobs. Hendrick stood frozen, his face pale and his hands trembling. Maya stared at him, her expression a mix of fear and disbelief. Masha hovered nearby, her eyes wide with terror.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenbK5lJqeF
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ737FI9PnTE
Finally, Hendrick broke the silence, his voice low and urgent. "We need to get out of here."248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrzC85pAwW
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPLiuITOem
The words hung in the air, sharp and final. Sasha's sobs quieted, and she pulled away from me, her face streaked with tears. Maya stared at Hendrick, her expression a mix of fear and something else.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1xvZvFYXr
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY11WKsePnh
I nodded, my heart pounding. "Let's go. Now."248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Gl2i5QN2c
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZfa5IYzfH
We moved as one, rushing toward the front door. The mansion seemed to close in around us, the shadows stretching and twisting as if alive. The air grew colder with each step, and the faint hum of the air conditioning was replaced by an eerie silence.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMdQzaC4hO
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uJBnShoim
Hendrick reached the door first, his bloodied hands grabbed the handle then twisted and pulled, but the door didn't budge. He yanked harder, his face pale. "It's stuck."248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS69CSxzEDc
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCAMUSbDuc
"Move," I said, pushing past him. I grabbed the handle and pulled with all my strength, but the door didn't budge. My stomach dropped. "It's locked."248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvz84yshlGL
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPjS6tUahl
"Evelyn has the keys," Masha said, her voice trembling. "She's not back yet."248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGUR22WbtF
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuczR4r25x
"Then we break it down," Hendrick said, his tone desperate. He stepped back and kicked the door, the sound echoing through the mansion. The door didn't move.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5voBBmBAw1
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiwNVayY0v
"Stop!" Maya said, her voice sharp. "You're going to attract whatever's that is."248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgZkbJGyAa
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kgxqCk7f4
Hendrick froze, his face pale. The room fell silent, the weight of our situation pressing down on us. We were trapped.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmkIRzLnRK
