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.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnFC6NaR8n

"We need to move," I said, my voice low but firm. "Now."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXMWC04F5h
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziZkLf3eBv
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."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbfAdB9AjL
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fyBeiZGkW
"And if it's locked?" Maya asked, her voice trembling.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7c0XopYnn
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9OEjbss9U
"It's not," Evelyn said, "Mom is always forgetful, so she leaves the key in the keyhole."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bikcdm7Bt
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbqmrhYYM1
We exchanged uneasy glances. Evelyn seemed genuinely confused about what was going on in her own house. Hopefully, she was right about this.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwAc86D0FY
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg19B0gAkEJ
"Stay close," I said, stepping toward the door. "And don't stop for anything."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sFYGu6t9E
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzQjw9pX5c
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.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7F17EC1Hw
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVYRMmh1hV
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.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HvbUsspvl
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjbTsd8Hs3
The moans grew louder, and the air grew colder. The creature was following us.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7nlmbHcFv
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLb1vuJmN5
"Faster," I whispered, my heart pounding in my chest.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUtEfe0JwR
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUfqHwnFLw
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.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mUT4maCHK
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRJYmSWdz5
"Run!" I shouted, pulling the others forward to get ahead of me, starting with Sasha, Masha, Maya, then Evelyn.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oRzhzyIfG
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecHQ6OHhbh
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."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0Qg6nt8WB
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5yzxKhL0p
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!"362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZo8sCC16R
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgx3pKmDQz
"Hendrick, no!" Maya screamed, her voice breaking.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bjoBzOesn
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpj99oHKAvW
"Just go!" Hendrick snapped, his eyes never leaving the creature. "I'll buy you time!"362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPRl5qYrIE
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35MQQbxCKz
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.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrmf8qwrJi
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGXrwuI8ti
"Go!" he shouted again, his voice strained.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhSKV1FDR4
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CqKwywtEZ
I grabbed Maya's arm, pulling her away. "We have to go!" I said, my voice tight with urgency.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdF5P3BIqz
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KJ0xJAhsD
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.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CKO9OhIE8

...362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyShdkiLUgY
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtfsqjFYzb
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.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OtTB0Kuis
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNOexbIVoH
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.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDhp8Jh24F
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LC3BfPdYn
Another creature stepped out of the shadows, its glowing eyes fixed on us. It was smaller than the first, but no less terrifying.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsxGAdpxeZ
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5HfLl0yRv
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.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNygsDx7DKE
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxqoeSYKAz
"What the hell are you guys doing!" Masha shouted, her voice sharp. "Run."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzadTTVw7r
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRggHwIY9K
I hesitated, my heart pounding in my chest. "Masha..."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Xpg8ngm4c
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75UrndBlsF
"Don't worry," she said, forcing a small smile. "I'm right behind you."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7SEIJUya5
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jb81mxfdv
We started for the door, but the creature grabbed Masha.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTwbkZ43q6
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqUbCkcAaf
"No!"362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqV5OiAa4o
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gJesIJWJd
"Keep going!" she insisted, struggling against the creature's grip.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmE5M844rMO
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAZ1efEC5A
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.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbA7dZVDRZ

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.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFs5oLcOyuf
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpOgB0Jn1u
The sound of the creatures' moans echoed behind us, growing louder with each passing second. They were coming.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszc71tfg07
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGlCm3Kybp
"We need to keep moving," I said, my voice tight with urgency.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHFobd2Toq
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEBT5LRgFR
Maya nodded, her face pale but determined. Sasha was silent, her eyes filled with tears. Evelyn looked back at the mansion, her expression unreadable.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLml09p511j
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AzqrDUzGJ
"Come on," I said, grabbing her arm. "We can't stop now."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iWDRFfncj
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60VLbb0GvU
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.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvjROu9Oqm
