The living room was dimly lit, the only sound the faint hum of the mansion's ancient air conditioning. We sat in a loose circle on the floor, the tension in the room so thick it felt like it could suffocate us. Hendrick had suggested a game to pass the time while we waited for Evelyn to return with groceries. It was supposed to be fun, but the way he smirked as he shuffled the deck told me this was anything but.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04Xz6ofAq0
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8oNtYR35i
"Alright," Hendrick said, his voice dripping with mockery. "Truth or Dare. No backing out."790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYs2lHm0zF
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cCt9sqafY
"Seriously?" I said, raising an eyebrow. "We're not twelve."790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oBfTwj6pS
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWsqshdgLb
"Come on," Hendrick shot back, his grin widening. "Don't tell me you're scared."790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnnInJJG3m
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtYAmukvBi
"I'm not scared," I snapped. "I just think it's stupid."790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aojl7pnsi
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KdPwAM3KN
"Then it shouldn't be a problem," Hendrick said, dealing the cards with a flick of his wrist. His eyes gleamed with mischief as he turned to Maya. "You're up first. Truth or Dare?"790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hMHONH5F5
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt98CoY5c1F
Maya hesitated, glancing at me before answering. "Truth," she said, her voice quiet.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVac5292WR2
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwJAo6JNPA
Hendrick leaned forward, his smirk stretching across his face. "Do you really think your sister's been clean since rehab?"790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxuberH85p
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsCEKSstec
The room fell silent. Maya's eyes widened, and she glanced at me, her expression torn. "I… I don't know," she said finally.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbR1aB9qqFe
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZkFy2h1s6
"Maya," I said, my voice sharp. "You know I haven't relapsed."790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3ntTNMYm0
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hSP8ba2ee
"Do I?" Maya shot back, her tone defensive. "You've been so distant lately. How am I supposed to know what you're doing?"790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uHGJI6vEf
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8q50LVI9P
"Because I'm your sister," I said, my voice rising. "You're supposed to trust me."790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2nq2iMB2o
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPglWdmyQ4
"Trust you?" Maya said, her voice shaking. "You're the one who pushed me away. You're the one who stopped coming to the clubhouse. How am I supposed to trust you when you won't even talk to me?"790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NbHwtLi0M
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEhBbM0foe
The room was silent, the tension thick enough to cut with a knife. Hendrick leaned back, a satisfied smirk on his face. "Looks like we hit a nerve."790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53oLoLfaPf
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zS7Ng11HL
"Shut up, Hendrick," I snapped, my hands clenched into fists. "This is your fault."790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VpJSbLpaE
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYi3dWBLPML
"My fault?" Hendrick said, his tone mocking. "I'm not the one who's been avoiding everyone. I'm not the one who's been lying."790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnexLaJLHDl
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI32JeNZc2n
"I haven't been lying!" I shouted, my voice echoing through the room.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dYkL8PWHU
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbwrhTJbL1
"Prove it," Hendrick said, his eyes narrowing. "It's Maya's turn now. How about you let her pat you down as a dare? If you've got nothing to hide, it shouldn't be a problem."790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCf8xlVudn
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFC6C3NDsLp
"You're unbelievable," I said, my voice low with anger. "I never agreed to a dare, and I'm not doing this regardless."790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47P9S6gxx0
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMmEgHBjt6
"Why not?" Maya said, her voice trembling. "If you've got nothing to hide, why won't you let me?"790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0A58c4v7n
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzg1pT8PD6D
I stared at her, my heart sinking. "You're really going to side with him?"790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPxHbzGCQu
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxItnqS2kcE
Maya hesitated, her eyes flicking between me and Hendrick. "I just… I need to know."790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeL7GoQDRX
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4UyNXSFOh
"Fine," I said, my voice cold. "Do it."790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaa84Gedxu
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnhIT8RfOa
Maya stepped forward, her hands shaking as she patted me down. The room was silent, the tension unbearable. She pulled a cigarette from the front pocket of my overalls and eyed me suspiciously.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrDPHvcGtv
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4nsqEkMj4
"That's not an addiction," I said defensively.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8C6DbnPr0U
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfidRKvuiqg
"Isn't it?" Maya argued, her voice rising. "Because this is how it begins. First it's cigarettes, then it's alcohol, and then it's hard drugs. I've seen it before."790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9QKJjgiFp
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1Go3P0lnV
"Maya," I started, but before I could say anything else, a sound cut through the silence—a low, guttural moan coming from somewhere deep in the mansion.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ev5vMV1QK
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9CU4TkMZd
"What is that sound?" Masha said, her voice low but filled with terror.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1a8D5Da8G2
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7WLqpggDK
The moan came again, louder this time, and the air seemed to grow colder. I glanced around the room, my heart pounding. "Guys," I said, my voice tight. "Where are Martin and Hendrick?"790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjsOz0Gcwl
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5LgbUMYv1
We got up and looked around the living room, the eerie silence amplifying our unease. "Babe?!" Maya shouted, her voice trembling as she searched for Hendrick.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcM24ipWpx
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYweCtO9Wk
"Martin!" Sasha called out, her tone growing more frantic with each passing second.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnICLacLx6Z
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBrw8mvVhQ
But instead of a response, we were met with a loud, piercing scream that echoed from the direction of the study. My stomach dropped, and I glanced at Masha, who shared the same wide-eyed expression of dread.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc69ILAMaVW
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoBKYArQ6I
Sasha started toward the study, but I quickly grabbed her arm, shaking my head. My eyes pleaded with her not to follow the sound. She hesitated, her face pale, but before she could argue, a heavy thud reverberated through the mansion, followed by footsteps—slow, deliberate, and growing louder with each step.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mbA0UAHdq
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSlrVUVWlX
Sasha's hand found mine, our fingers interlocking as we braced ourselves for whatever was coming. The footsteps grew closer, echoing through the hallway like a countdown to disaster.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkVAiCPQlO
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QfDAJCTUH
Footsteps.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47uZDzlLFa

790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9qMZZ1WGz
The door swung open, and my heart froze for a beat. But it wasn't a monster that emerged—it was Hendrick, his face pale and his clothes splattered with dark, drying blood. His hands trembled as he clutched the doorframe, his breathing ragged.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsB7suUJdJ
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzrKjKKOar
"Oh my god!" Masha yelped, her voice barely above a whisper.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIn7aWprYFp
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQiszVnHfL
Maya rushed to his side, her hands trembling as she reached for him. "Babe…" she started, her voice breaking. "What the hell happened?"790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkcwINxA4W
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fPXTZzQZz
"That's not my blood," Hendrick said, his tone low and hollow, as if he were speaking from somewhere far away.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OtpYrAgpI
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoI17oGJL0Y
Sasha's eyes darted toward the study, her voice trembling as she asked, "Where's Martin?"790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEbYnQi7QP
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdTDKrlHAa
Hendrick hesitated, his gaze dropping to the floor. "I… I couldn't stop it," he said, his voice barely audible.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhnq8lWgkN
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3C5r3SoLy
"Couldn't stop what?" Sasha demanded, her voice rising.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeMHP7loZP
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFDS3rPcs7
"Martin is… dead," Hendrick said, the words hanging heavy in the air.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNm42vnWV3o
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjIYV5jBxt
Sasha let out a shaky laugh, her voice trembling as she shook her head. "No," she said, her tone desperate. "You two are just pulling a prank on us. This isn't funny."790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aC2QMtOir
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySrYsSiowX
She started for the study, her voice cracking as she called out, "Martin?" But I grabbed her arm, holding her back. Something in Hendrick's expression told me this wasn't a joke.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVER9zt2f3D
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtnPbaw5J3
"Let me go," Sasha said, her voice firm but trembling. I shook my head, my grip tightening. "Let me go!" she shouted, her voice breaking as she began hitting my chest. "Why won't you let me go?!"790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BrBwmtkB5
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3Kca967I9
Her fists pounded against me, each blow weaker than the last until she finally broke down, collapsing into sobs. I pulled her close, holding her tightly as she cried into my shoulder, her body shaking with grief.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7huIP4bgO
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44taXkDEqm
The room was silent except for Sasha's muffled sobs. Hendrick stood frozen, his face pale and his hands trembling. Maya stared at him, her expression a mix of fear and disbelief. Masha hovered nearby, her eyes wide with terror.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5UfbdgWu3
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07nrOn0DcL
Finally, Hendrick broke the silence, his voice low and urgent. "We need to get out of here."790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcqw9QSKur
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQg2v0VvhXU
The words hung in the air, sharp and final. Sasha's sobs quieted, and she pulled away from me, her face streaked with tears. Maya stared at Hendrick, her expression a mix of fear and something else.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxpnxB3uNe
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Hgvk05m7l
I nodded, my heart pounding. "Let's go. Now."790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVdKA8Cgsa
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFoHNM0KiH
We moved as one, rushing toward the front door. The mansion seemed to close in around us, the shadows stretching and twisting as if alive. The air grew colder with each step, and the faint hum of the air conditioning was replaced by an eerie silence.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnk0znuDYw0
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1j9af0BCG
Hendrick reached the door first, his bloodied hands grabbed the handle then twisted and pulled, but the door didn't budge. He yanked harder, his face pale. "It's stuck."790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoefDd6yXF8
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NjzgbKmdm
"Move," I said, pushing past him. I grabbed the handle and pulled with all my strength, but the door didn't budge. My stomach dropped. "It's locked."790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhx8cZZ6xTV
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuQ2qE8QZ9
"Evelyn has the keys," Masha said, her voice trembling. "She's not back yet."790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRY6pePTBJ
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNwW8k0teV
"Then we break it down," Hendrick said, his tone desperate. He stepped back and kicked the door, the sound echoing through the mansion. The door didn't move.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rc3co9LRE
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5U3G1D8fj
"Stop!" Maya said, her voice sharp. "You're going to attract whatever's that is."790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmawxtHWcQ
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoKALZhDFI
Hendrick froze, his face pale. The room fell silent, the weight of our situation pressing down on us. We were trapped.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgDBeOMi2b
