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.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBmTL2zBbY
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQjyY6NKpN
"There!" I shouted, pointing toward the gate. "We're almost there!"360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcN9Ofsq6EK
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjhJPyokZn
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.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroGFcODdEI
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHG93Fvsky
"No!" Maya cried, her voice trembling. "What do we do now?"360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPuyu25HzF
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFQTWhnlpc
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.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12C0BcrF2a
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTdeTMUCYm
"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."360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmZ0aHti76
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqJIBGjQpJ
"Safer?" Sasha snapped, her voice rising with panic. "Are you kidding me? Those things are in there!"360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGVTQx3TNz
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9x3bfkoGw
"We don't have a choice!" Evelyn shot back, her eyes wide with desperation. "We can't stay here!"360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbsYtUBVvN
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RFxS4Kk0V
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.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qMxyDTJpa
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzECr94saVt
"Fine," I said, my voice firm. "Back to the mansion. Now!"360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ342LleAgR
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNgVGuDGzy
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!"360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJyTYygJlc
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfngzKumDrE
"Keep running!" I yelled, grabbing her arm and pulling her forward.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRpl95aKic
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3h0KK0bfG
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.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTfCftw3jR
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8k9tfAwk9F
"Sasha!" I screamed, my voice filled with anguish as the creature's hand pierced through her back, its bloodied claws emerging from her ribs.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6GLOe0Jgb
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbybku0IRNE
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!"360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEtW85owYC
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpkyZUWdr9
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.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1W6kG9N3m
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1m9CCkrJGw
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.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUwj1BWvrz
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwziUbCs48w
"Where do we go?" Maya asked, her voice tight with fear.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QRyZO6Cwy
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPATewAaHx
"Upstairs," Evelyn said, her voice trembling. "We'll hide in one of the rooms."360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRorSFEkzW
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZR2d4MZRa3
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.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJDFLbf3z6
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenQFH38n1l
"In here," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3imCvXgCl
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0z3pFb1Db
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.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgYVH2y6tN
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsC6iX8yHoQ
"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."360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeuB9jOKYi
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiw36wsWgj
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.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkn1s7Pss10
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo48A0QMLaJ
"We need to barricade the door!" I said, my voice tight with urgency.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwRPkEe0iS
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQszEoxzgR
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.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwye3O236cm
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDIX0vvbYV
"Aargh!" Maya screamed.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lNx09SaBC
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZ7LmCh7O9
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.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcp45kWJM0
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1V1JhT8duX
The sound of her screams echoed through the hallway, growing fainter and fainter until they were swallowed by the darkness.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjZ2BnFzC6
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQF1Wl41Mg
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.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWfDGvJdEs
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOXUJwIalq
"The closet," I said, my voice tight with urgency. "We'll hide in the closet."360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvuQBKUvsV
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldXAYgm58V
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.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKGh5PImOg
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0rzBfYhSY
"I'm sorry," Maya whispered, her voice trembling. "For everything. For not believing you. For not being there when you needed me."360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObdcgH28tU
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73s15N73tF
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.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctlMuERT9Z
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJG16pY1FqA
"I forgive you," I said finally, my voice soft but steady. "And I'm sorry too. For pushing you away. For not trusting you."360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxNuSHCKA5
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukITDfUqzq
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.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VAEJLZfFb
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JI7g8O9lT
But then the sound came again—a low, guttural moan, closer than ever. The monsters were right outside the door.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTCjfCpx9n
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUDlQasWJG
I closed my eyes, holding Maya tighter. "Whatever happens," I whispered, "I'm glad we're together."360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhE33ziFC9
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYs4aQrJ9kS
Maya nodded, her tears soaking into my shirt. "Me too."360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Yx1yx5Ne8
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBs43m0CfZ
The sound of the monsters grew louder, their claws scraping against the door. Maya and I held our breath, our hearts pounding in unison.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibC7AUJMtD
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9KNREuO8N
And then, silence.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQwXFKg6sO
