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.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsoOBTOcu7

"We need to move," I said, my voice low but firm. "Now."360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPFydE6JC4
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoZeUhiUws
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."360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbnqWCexsG
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7ZcFQQtZQ
"And if it's locked?" Maya asked, her voice trembling.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxA2sHC2VNi
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8uJJqvwJ9
"It's not," Evelyn said, "Mom is always forgetful, so she leaves the key in the keyhole."360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsC9bn9Z08
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVSQr4DDgU
We exchanged uneasy glances. Evelyn seemed genuinely confused about what was going on in her own house. Hopefully, she was right about this.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8B2wTqnreG
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJVPWJTdhl
"Stay close," I said, stepping toward the door. "And don't stop for anything."360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJerzsKbWBf
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOGEcuTdtY
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.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgU1S33GJQ
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAq53SguVeL
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.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcWlLgQdPo
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnEMxUbebK
The moans grew louder, and the air grew colder. The creature was following us.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEm8OCuCT46
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEon7axCuf
"Faster," I whispered, my heart pounding in my chest.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttCwnRmKkn
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGH93qnYqws
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.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFXTOFbF8u
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wXfBVYjzG
"Run!" I shouted, pulling the others forward to get ahead of me, starting with Sasha, Masha, Maya, then Evelyn.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGLMjVsyU4
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBManvGr5I
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."360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCUPk3lIQx
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwE7OHlvQT
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!"360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOISRzIhRJ
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktjQwBH9Eh
"Hendrick, no!" Maya screamed, her voice breaking.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡua4qPnp5GP
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKAXLPY989
"Just go!" Hendrick snapped, his eyes never leaving the creature. "I'll buy you time!"360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhbsXzKNdb
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmwqzkXl3n
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.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXujGDaYd6F
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsWSlbcPCQ
"Go!" he shouted again, his voice strained.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1JgrmjMLi
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1olNtJjHxw
I grabbed Maya's arm, pulling her away. "We have to go!" I said, my voice tight with urgency.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFyzkXIlEL
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekjbNrzhAE
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.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmSsJhnuo3

360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0PgP6JCCS
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.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YiPOLl4ji
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEEqzVr19Q
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.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXC0IIUE6z4
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uiVvCmbjp
Another creature stepped out of the shadows, its glowing eyes fixed on us. It was smaller than the first, but no less terrifying.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7K1oh3qvbb
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCVY1jGHp4
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.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs689enTtKW
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcn9unFTaBr
"What the hell are you guys doing!" Masha shouted, her voice sharp. "Run."360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNqNwf63Dk
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKHeSGJNz5
I hesitated, my heart pounding in my chest. "Masha..."360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPkJAIY2bl
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxV2egmgC7a
"Don't worry," she said, forcing a small smile. "I'm right behind you."360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4FQvSMdmD
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCncxP1r7Q
We started for the door, but the creature grabbed Masha.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChh2bZBz85
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwVMIoEmoA
"No!"360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSvdpfTtiF
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCJLBFkDlp
"Keep going!" she insisted, struggling against the creature's grip.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44MFF4jfAf
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxhzqaucS4
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.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2W5MORHgk4

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.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwODlS5Bz1V
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGKK5ztbMC
The sound of the creatures' moans echoed behind us, growing louder with each passing second. They were coming.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJmJ2L7o3W
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtMueNMc0t
"We need to keep moving," I said, my voice tight with urgency.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnoJ1XY7aS
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe69aZP9wEs
Maya nodded, her face pale but determined. Sasha was silent, her eyes filled with tears. Evelyn looked back at the mansion, her expression unreadable.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsahnGFBZ3
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWakCpVeoMA
"Come on," I said, grabbing her arm. "We can't stop now."360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfGAdInTOo
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFKW0YqEuh
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.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWa5Sl3f56
