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.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAL2Fm4Y5AA
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxQBKGvgFM
"There!" I shouted, pointing toward the gate. "We're almost there!"241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb902tFK3cI
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GXSLlHYew
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.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwi67SR4Jwi
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJgMM73jqP
"No!" Maya cried, her voice trembling. "What do we do now?"241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9fGvpVQhy
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwsvGEzG0e
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.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdMexskd05
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03004bbtpM
"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."241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48TZJWRVN2
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9ddFeQAw5
"Safer?" Sasha snapped, her voice rising with panic. "Are you kidding me? Those things are in there!"241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRySb8z3M6
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95SrmNfhgJ
"We don't have a choice!" Evelyn shot back, her eyes wide with desperation. "We can't stay here!"241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7for5LUY55
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygPXbs3u3K
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.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmffykVYOTx
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6skTpoXQa
"Fine," I said, my voice firm. "Back to the mansion. Now!"241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGUiAWCC8l
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlQzr6EFSm
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!"241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9ZLZ3nLLL
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5MVnhPPJm
"Keep running!" I yelled, grabbing her arm and pulling her forward.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbr2m1dDJE5
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyuylVFEKV
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.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9c5oigN17
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZBFKSz1Zq
"Sasha!" I screamed, my voice filled with anguish as the creature's hand pierced through her back, its bloodied claws emerging from her ribs.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2jQV0SbAR
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCT1uMYCJC
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!"241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDzKVqJNpP
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvIPEEnIyX
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.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAIb8xG19C
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6Qlg6NXsR
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.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tXXn8kbOX
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBRrsvra3b
"Where do we go?" Maya asked, her voice tight with fear.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9QNMA2lHm
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNythfyG1y
"Upstairs," Evelyn said, her voice trembling. "We'll hide in one of the rooms."241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokAEvegbUr
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfzuz1WUDu
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.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMRgOlCn09
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjjxafz83M
"In here," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOp9xeZ3hS7
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJe2M8EfVU
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.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0mJmGigmV
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMJyBxeK6W
"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."241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTc9eeW49G
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqEEEg1GGF
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.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFWHVjZGhI
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCF90o8upxI
"We need to barricade the door!" I said, my voice tight with urgency.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPn9VVWgMYU
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6kMTt8swr
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.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgcr7ZCpod
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2edWFLeny
"Aargh!" Maya screamed.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EucpKLAJp
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtDmrxweFo
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.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4BOn9Aldj
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQUcCGtWrH
The sound of her screams echoed through the hallway, growing fainter and fainter until they were swallowed by the darkness.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrm1MsfiAA9
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARPQBevgCc
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.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtajvmfaNLZ
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvSUz1m9KS
"The closet," I said, my voice tight with urgency. "We'll hide in the closet."241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtZ2VOLAdj
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0Hz4WQBnZ
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.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sAt6ydQBf
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3luvXg6tno
"I'm sorry," Maya whispered, her voice trembling. "For everything. For not believing you. For not being there when you needed me."241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡva3kV0ChGh
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmptS4rAIBI
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.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQJKGle4em
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEaxon4zcH
"I forgive you," I said finally, my voice soft but steady. "And I'm sorry too. For pushing you away. For not trusting you."241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVVIOVCQ01
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7bBJ4OWmv
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.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3spw7zRxuA
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjryPVFNpZy
But then the sound came again—a low, guttural moan, closer than ever. The monsters were right outside the door.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqc5ET13Up
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYbAQhFU2N
I closed my eyes, holding Maya tighter. "Whatever happens," I whispered, "I'm glad we're together."241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBhzp2CkCm
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1HHJ5uqli
Maya nodded, her tears soaking into my shirt. "Me too."241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjFrtwrJxr
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSr59jA9NL
The sound of the monsters grew louder, their claws scraping against the door. Maya and I held our breath, our hearts pounding in unison.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcf46PoHUcb
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOTadi8Lqc
And then, silence.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeM4Ga9OvS
