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.772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzop585Ix77

"We need to move," I said, my voice low but firm. "Now."772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sEqb8JLXm
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeTTiByClW
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."772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigM6esmCK4
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6JdHVumoL
"And if it's locked?" Maya asked, her voice trembling.772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNGYj6JQva
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQZjvits7B
"It's not," Evelyn said, "Mom is always forgetful, so she leaves the key in the keyhole."772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0hsVEbDlj
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViyi0mTwSJ
We exchanged uneasy glances. Evelyn seemed genuinely confused about what was going on in her own house. Hopefully, she was right about this.772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11mzJQj1WF
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvS2xLKuhGJ
"Stay close," I said, stepping toward the door. "And don't stop for anything."772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ718DIyI81R
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJyl4ZeaXB
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.772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9ORaoyI6e
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PTFMUnKMG
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.772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKPjh5RiHt
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhN1EKvv79g
The moans grew louder, and the air grew colder. The creature was following us.772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36BlNFzIut
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4mD5t5QBm
"Faster," I whispered, my heart pounding in my chest.772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWP9Ov4B7Zu
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nfTwDHxY7
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.772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1qy4e9mPI
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7ZtJitcGz
"Run!" I shouted, pulling the others forward to get ahead of me, starting with Sasha, Masha, Maya, then Evelyn.772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTfG8IrarV
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kxDl9SXVf
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."772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rjh0rb7WM
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4PqZVuEN9
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!"772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluBGDlG9A4
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyUa4sn5IC
"Hendrick, no!" Maya screamed, her voice breaking.772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufe7OJZRqt
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9KtVYOGqe
"Just go!" Hendrick snapped, his eyes never leaving the creature. "I'll buy you time!"772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBOLqjfzVs
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9yxBWZ7pg
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.772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Cf8mG4I7Q
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3YbzwfTvP
"Go!" he shouted again, his voice strained.772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gGwXrTkTS
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mcBBE4n26
I grabbed Maya's arm, pulling her away. "We have to go!" I said, my voice tight with urgency.772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rQ27HvWaO
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TRdPZ3ma7
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.772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡju1GJp3P5M

772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCasSDiERh
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.772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQctexo77G9
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEcwRKJZVX
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.772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvAQ75s92L
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqrCzWSHSt
Another creature stepped out of the shadows, its glowing eyes fixed on us. It was smaller than the first, but no less terrifying.772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlvx7WQALI
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHQ5uuJr82
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.772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdymE2wpeSD
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QDJ8EaZsa
"What the hell are you guys doing!" Masha shouted, her voice sharp. "Run."772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMn4fpUwK2K
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgICtC717z
I hesitated, my heart pounding in my chest. "Masha..."772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBK0q08Saq
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfKSoVggLG
"Don't worry," she said, forcing a small smile. "I'm right behind you."772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmclJA97Pa
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4JrCTzYK6
We started for the door, but the creature grabbed Masha.772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZEPqOkYLb
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6878UTNpW7
"No!"772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fg39KNSc1
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9epCUWY3q
"Keep going!" she insisted, struggling against the creature's grip.772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtD5bICIlIt
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtS9wxiHLP
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.772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2vPd65yKD

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.772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3mZSbU66U
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyj04Rsq855
The sound of the creatures' moans echoed behind us, growing louder with each passing second. They were coming.772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaulFiifaJ
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmdM20RVLL
"We need to keep moving," I said, my voice tight with urgency.772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZ8999Jx5u
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyh22rqxdll
Maya nodded, her face pale but determined. Sasha was silent, her eyes filled with tears. Evelyn looked back at the mansion, her expression unreadable.772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpfPlYHejS
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzUpn9qoa7
"Come on," I said, grabbing her arm. "We can't stop now."772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcGZeL4MPJ
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbj4M1bBhwT
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.772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHaftLZbtN
