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.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGjpdEbTIb

"We need to move," I said, my voice low but firm. "Now."254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEnFCiyMQE
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJq1P6BNfnX
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."254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4qItpfOfx
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0Ozvu9LUg
"And if it's locked?" Maya asked, her voice trembling.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXDjGRlzSk
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58XSRcU5T6
"It's not," Evelyn said, "Mom is always forgetful, so she leaves the key in the keyhole."254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngcZbF46Tp
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCewZN9wNo
We exchanged uneasy glances. Evelyn seemed genuinely confused about what was going on in her own house. Hopefully, she was right about this.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxu1TigWBi
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFEfSCRvWz
"Stay close," I said, stepping toward the door. "And don't stop for anything."254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkOPQRyg4h
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2JSJirxIA
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.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqolshrRWcc
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfl3ZLsKGG
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.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqv8659Dcw4
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipCKFU4w7L
The moans grew louder, and the air grew colder. The creature was following us.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEngQagGxdG
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnN7RIAu2OY
"Faster," I whispered, my heart pounding in my chest.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ606s5v6ZRC
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLkRE4nzss
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.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYn2jeRO4F
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoGRGlX6cn
"Run!" I shouted, pulling the others forward to get ahead of me, starting with Sasha, Masha, Maya, then Evelyn.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbUb61ynHA
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlG3utJYZgU
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."254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUX9Itc9Uth
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpksRjm3yZb
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!"254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncqSghwupK
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmtcx9vrYF
"Hendrick, no!" Maya screamed, her voice breaking.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrnoRVQ787
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQ71hMW8nj
"Just go!" Hendrick snapped, his eyes never leaving the creature. "I'll buy you time!"254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLI2C0Ymv4J
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymG4TKfwf6
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.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTQclBJqyI
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQhMxB4Ads
"Go!" he shouted again, his voice strained.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5DB0qvoma
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABaVvfZRkT
I grabbed Maya's arm, pulling her away. "We have to go!" I said, my voice tight with urgency.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OrzBgN280
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoSDUbiCAH
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.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYsuoxLhgX

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.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfPmCT79Um
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfJvyMauW1
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.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUbqLRie4o
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6kb7WqwJC
Another creature stepped out of the shadows, its glowing eyes fixed on us. It was smaller than the first, but no less terrifying.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsgqvOT2PI
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiSFxuI2Ki
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.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchPgDnI0ce
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BfiOGeOvI
"What the hell are you guys doing!" Masha shouted, her voice sharp. "Run."254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgIkGsfREf
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWovOFKkDau
I hesitated, my heart pounding in my chest. "Masha..."254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4LMKgQfEs
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALLT2omSqL
"Don't worry," she said, forcing a small smile. "I'm right behind you."254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIjcVqK8qz
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9h0SPWpnqO
We started for the door, but the creature grabbed Masha.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyMr3odrTK
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBIKzpsuny
"No!"254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0RHBCI6v0
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR23HqAF6NY
"Keep going!" she insisted, struggling against the creature's grip.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJ7Aj7XjnW
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYKo3WvsgS
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.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLHu80vVnF

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.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3OoI0lptz
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkHSoRqYep
The sound of the creatures' moans echoed behind us, growing louder with each passing second. They were coming.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSRuHlCVNe
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKNCYvlJPf
"We need to keep moving," I said, my voice tight with urgency.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nbwMPVWDK
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg88ibZfrQo
Maya nodded, her face pale but determined. Sasha was silent, her eyes filled with tears. Evelyn looked back at the mansion, her expression unreadable.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxdZtv4Fyy
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREfKhIb5CR
"Come on," I said, grabbing her arm. "We can't stop now."254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mXfi5n1FZ
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9t1bSSlIdP
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.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3UzkULzZU
