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.242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9ZGhI3wB0
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kcEIZkL30
"There!" I shouted, pointing toward the gate. "We're almost there!"242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcE7My8iCCs
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImpooy5DTU
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.242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8UeMUBwfp
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcdbphk73U
"No!" Maya cried, her voice trembling. "What do we do now?"242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwUqXACGT6
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIYfy2SOPc
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.242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nzuc0KzqA
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE82HNPcwqt
"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."242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblqIhFCU0V
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YgAmTn8Nw
"Safer?" Sasha snapped, her voice rising with panic. "Are you kidding me? Those things are in there!"242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVUoj3F0P3
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYiEh5zziI
"We don't have a choice!" Evelyn shot back, her eyes wide with desperation. "We can't stay here!"242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2y8KLSbLQ6
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJgslmTdwz
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.242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1S8jlhAtRu
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0EwKybcYg
"Fine," I said, my voice firm. "Back to the mansion. Now!"242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk34jqEFdA8
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FslLC80XJ
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!"242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh11IatGTTT
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJeJ6pmgI3
"Keep running!" I yelled, grabbing her arm and pulling her forward.242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrXYk8FTsb
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnnen5NtYp
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.242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bpaAzQ8t1
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowC8HIM2gN
"Sasha!" I screamed, my voice filled with anguish as the creature's hand pierced through her back, its bloodied claws emerging from her ribs.242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqVzwYslaS
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7338zSqfPB
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!"242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnexIxTCaNz
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlY7xMne0M0
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.242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qIfWjo8Wb
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvmaSUT1OY
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.242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTtt2Vi04U
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6mLzMzoOt
"Where do we go?" Maya asked, her voice tight with fear.242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGs5OJ9t4m
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxgd9uO7NK
"Upstairs," Evelyn said, her voice trembling. "We'll hide in one of the rooms."242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YExqNooyS
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoU6gcZfBZ
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.242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOd5tJGgJR
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZfPCTr1rH
"In here," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgov9ysWYf
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3ZP9tvwJM
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.242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuARWGLhnO
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCW5Qh7SJH
"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."242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9JX568Evt
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Qk30mwXCR
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.242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡll999Ki3uJ
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikyQ1cqgMq
"We need to barricade the door!" I said, my voice tight with urgency.242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzrmU7liuY
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxWngjH9lp
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.242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzbXp1ad11
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEyXfbkA3H
"Aargh!" Maya screamed.242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIktPR54zc
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6joiuNNlzk
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.242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwq2wLW5hb
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBAljlLl0D
The sound of her screams echoed through the hallway, growing fainter and fainter until they were swallowed by the darkness.242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fYVpCgSLy
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QyUv0R2TQ
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.242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmiRDmFNEi
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXOgv4O4zA
"The closet," I said, my voice tight with urgency. "We'll hide in the closet."242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCWzoKv9Vs
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeMqo4vhHy
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.242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGKao1nEu8
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPFu1StjP6
"I'm sorry," Maya whispered, her voice trembling. "For everything. For not believing you. For not being there when you needed me."242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawQkf9U6tY
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Bx2myahWx
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.242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdb7XtcWlQZ
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2apNTDuPSg
"I forgive you," I said finally, my voice soft but steady. "And I'm sorry too. For pushing you away. For not trusting you."242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWBUN8kWU8
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ns0gsFzi2
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.242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uvdY95R7G
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7qVBXceuF
But then the sound came again—a low, guttural moan, closer than ever. The monsters were right outside the door.242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFF0RD9sF0S
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRP7AdzqT6b
I closed my eyes, holding Maya tighter. "Whatever happens," I whispered, "I'm glad we're together."242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1dgGa8pM3
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfbPdRzd4Z
Maya nodded, her tears soaking into my shirt. "Me too."242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRME0HU5G7o
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKM9Wwk04xB
The sound of the monsters grew louder, their claws scraping against the door. Maya and I held our breath, our hearts pounding in unison.242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZk8iVcV1KR
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6HeHR9XGi
And then, silence.242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6pzr2ZwDE
