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.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhrhz1SFvr

"We need to move," I said, my voice low but firm. "Now."150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNzU48T4eJ
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9urruuVfk
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."150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSuMMqmemQ
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cNMGB13ph
"And if it's locked?" Maya asked, her voice trembling.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMLzpACjRw
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXn1iVS7887
"It's not," Evelyn said, "Mom is always forgetful, so she leaves the key in the keyhole."150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeZwDP22tf
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKo9Ag29Zn
We exchanged uneasy glances. Evelyn seemed genuinely confused about what was going on in her own house. Hopefully, she was right about this.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zuR1Uxrtp
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8pIXdanQi
"Stay close," I said, stepping toward the door. "And don't stop for anything."150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Or4AbADIT
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RfxrzDscI
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.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡft8BVnELJ8
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9hAdp5DwY
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.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdQE2jL96k
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7HV9VuK6U
The moans grew louder, and the air grew colder. The creature was following us.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrTxHBm8VO
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rUd2reXjz
"Faster," I whispered, my heart pounding in my chest.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG53zKSlnoD
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmDkJi4Dfh
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.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXQGvbyG8Z
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6idyicruV
"Run!" I shouted, pulling the others forward to get ahead of me, starting with Sasha, Masha, Maya, then Evelyn.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgj6NOWSjhi
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cRE6QmLpi
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."150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBmnyE59fW
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6w9uaXYjJU
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!"150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEBoH7PEVy
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCoMPEjCci
"Hendrick, no!" Maya screamed, her voice breaking.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdru9Du3IvC
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDeR9BlGKI
"Just go!" Hendrick snapped, his eyes never leaving the creature. "I'll buy you time!"150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡremP5xRdul
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2EGU2kQKL
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.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteDrUGTTuR
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡID4bT2W9gS
"Go!" he shouted again, his voice strained.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZOhRxoGTU
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYhm9hOc9D
I grabbed Maya's arm, pulling her away. "We have to go!" I said, my voice tight with urgency.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynOqTTTMUy
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQLxfPtC2i
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.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpneHc6OwAT

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.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFkUIqOphD
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwZpGE4GLn
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.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4rdR85eHy
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGSLXNOA2L
Another creature stepped out of the shadows, its glowing eyes fixed on us. It was smaller than the first, but no less terrifying.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90kYykLHIW
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpC5gfmW5U
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.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXY358hukV
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8Pijz3olm
"What the hell are you guys doing!" Masha shouted, her voice sharp. "Run."150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5uxmOXKct
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUl5oA6Yi1
I hesitated, my heart pounding in my chest. "Masha..."150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hgP7o9mkC
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoSIUbE8zV
"Don't worry," she said, forcing a small smile. "I'm right behind you."150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4JvFru1sk
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9Y3I40xt0
We started for the door, but the creature grabbed Masha.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsoHdcJSI9
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhheBv9vwn6
"No!"150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAV7Qibbmv
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviKxKgWxDo
"Keep going!" she insisted, struggling against the creature's grip.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3qXLdKX8d
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyhljVWINQ
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.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAIpl7b8PK

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.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPaVKrenBw
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hEYoIVrFM
The sound of the creatures' moans echoed behind us, growing louder with each passing second. They were coming.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzot4O1faQ
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytGbg3e4X7
"We need to keep moving," I said, my voice tight with urgency.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhoTTWTfTs
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwStW4t23cG
Maya nodded, her face pale but determined. Sasha was silent, her eyes filled with tears. Evelyn looked back at the mansion, her expression unreadable.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lVqDDHz4n
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ525SiU43CC
"Come on," I said, grabbing her arm. "We can't stop now."150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLthVTe2R2K
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqiTYWEwZq
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.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUa2bRC1Mm
