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.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEloXrUkVf
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFPR34ddEQ
"There!" I shouted, pointing toward the gate. "We're almost there!"142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2kqYKK28M
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1Lbc1wjiE
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.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSr69zORLnj
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZvwdzcO8P
"No!" Maya cried, her voice trembling. "What do we do now?"142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UrHZ3psf2
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qfEoKu6Ns
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.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFnCZvcDCb
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJ2hGr6VRT
"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."142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIjwC09JGe
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAj1NeWDuBW
"Safer?" Sasha snapped, her voice rising with panic. "Are you kidding me? Those things are in there!"142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSKZNyGJJH
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwFwL1EZzk
"We don't have a choice!" Evelyn shot back, her eyes wide with desperation. "We can't stay here!"142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ymtGqgsA5
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpAguds6hm
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.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdArVDKTJB
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcifKrV0Vqu
"Fine," I said, my voice firm. "Back to the mansion. Now!"142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2CJJLf7Wi
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIae6qxLlq
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!"142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuqHhIFRGb
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBXsqpHiRs
"Keep running!" I yelled, grabbing her arm and pulling her forward.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqjkKCok9t
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQ0tMvOuG8
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.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIRJNwERhB
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdL0Y7vCefx
"Sasha!" I screamed, my voice filled with anguish as the creature's hand pierced through her back, its bloodied claws emerging from her ribs.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWN4j5KRyC
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKGnqEw8zJ
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!"142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8E5eVFUAsp
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuQGRxrOEJ
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.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDauXjgiN6Q
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡux61V0Pr20
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.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInSdEPPwij
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbRYd7owqs
"Where do we go?" Maya asked, her voice tight with fear.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmW5CvR2YoL
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpDw8DPQHe
"Upstairs," Evelyn said, her voice trembling. "We'll hide in one of the rooms."142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvORhumMx1p
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKoGpHLEIq
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.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsMo9osZUh
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCCR4G1J2M
"In here," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIp0wMZ2pGI
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnjJNLGgF6
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.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvnJeLiVK4
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2BUgLLDDf
"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."142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpfSbunK2Y
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PRzyCP1Ua
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.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRa6pb9yMT6
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUCVhK13KJ
"We need to barricade the door!" I said, my voice tight with urgency.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIKbMYLZMa
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYBO6ilg2x
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.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioZPrDLz2Z
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡop0j7kb86Y
"Aargh!" Maya screamed.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGInfQcF3D1
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yDzkzvORq
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.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwkmHHj4T1
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRcqUEf1ax
The sound of her screams echoed through the hallway, growing fainter and fainter until they were swallowed by the darkness.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzdoPgEmtl
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAqtZR0HF6
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.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ln8iIflqj
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqOrePMjk4
"The closet," I said, my voice tight with urgency. "We'll hide in the closet."142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWDnbSK6hL
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWznqvYkyS
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.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0omEVg3VZW
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXgH1f7mmH
"I'm sorry," Maya whispered, her voice trembling. "For everything. For not believing you. For not being there when you needed me."142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqheQv1CWIT
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKlZuwEUU4
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.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAKWSfDiNY
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94akyV1gwl
"I forgive you," I said finally, my voice soft but steady. "And I'm sorry too. For pushing you away. For not trusting you."142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWli493h4E
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXKyRqFAGI
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.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntfXbEIkuP
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0sfYjDhUD
But then the sound came again—a low, guttural moan, closer than ever. The monsters were right outside the door.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cHxvsfgPu
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iqK1Ndkpg
I closed my eyes, holding Maya tighter. "Whatever happens," I whispered, "I'm glad we're together."142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNETcjuQUL
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlInjjOYTH
Maya nodded, her tears soaking into my shirt. "Me too."142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujUB1cN949
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dRG7CZCyx
The sound of the monsters grew louder, their claws scraping against the door. Maya and I held our breath, our hearts pounding in unison.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNop5jylAiA
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA87GI2WrbW
And then, silence.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5rT6TWrIg
