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.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDAE2etkAS

"We need to move," I said, my voice low but firm. "Now."152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9b1V9hLZ8B
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1E3S2PtI9
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."152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPYVkWTH8m
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVKDrUoZFv
"And if it's locked?" Maya asked, her voice trembling.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55ncAEViQ7
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibXsryQQU4
"It's not," Evelyn said, "Mom is always forgetful, so she leaves the key in the keyhole."152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8DFlFCGvM
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrRKPnvEdp
We exchanged uneasy glances. Evelyn seemed genuinely confused about what was going on in her own house. Hopefully, she was right about this.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5rByt1kg2
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXwtnaGD0x
"Stay close," I said, stepping toward the door. "And don't stop for anything."152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCuzqFOlhX
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsi4KemJaPY
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.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAOoJucXEV
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgalZbKDlM9
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.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGlbDNq6Z8
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡru4WdQnp6B
The moans grew louder, and the air grew colder. The creature was following us.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6Vc85ykBH
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYguJH0HTmg
"Faster," I whispered, my heart pounding in my chest.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8X0jd3Ia9
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerp3VAs4VK
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.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3Mft3nE4A
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GyGvuepMT
"Run!" I shouted, pulling the others forward to get ahead of me, starting with Sasha, Masha, Maya, then Evelyn.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTnL7mGdzn
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nZdqe5eAB
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."152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMNWgxbnuc
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZRtJ71O75
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!"152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HrA4lshau
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94iNpZdbLV
"Hendrick, no!" Maya screamed, her voice breaking.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDG5Y20Pg5
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrkGz0Cwo5
"Just go!" Hendrick snapped, his eyes never leaving the creature. "I'll buy you time!"152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKY0JuQ4mk
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SRxohMidA
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.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4YPQMhNQy
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCEGqPfAVw
"Go!" he shouted again, his voice strained.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2BI1AG7oI
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlORRJgEoyw
I grabbed Maya's arm, pulling her away. "We have to go!" I said, my voice tight with urgency.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73aI7Q9bky
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6kqVHpysA
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.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0O6W6awy7i

152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIbP8tNtMc
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.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgr7ZP8Tq5q
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvA3blgiGTB
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.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxR8EGVTTQd
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JpfwksZjK
Another creature stepped out of the shadows, its glowing eyes fixed on us. It was smaller than the first, but no less terrifying.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgW9NS2jq8G
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31srUP8PYE
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.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCncBDEC9d
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHNXSSQf1w
"What the hell are you guys doing!" Masha shouted, her voice sharp. "Run."152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX233PuJ5JH
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjKm9el6r5
I hesitated, my heart pounding in my chest. "Masha..."152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡir51a986LE
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQ5ppS7Crb
"Don't worry," she said, forcing a small smile. "I'm right behind you."152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaILrTfF2bP
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nqovbpKwc
We started for the door, but the creature grabbed Masha.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcm4gFK3omC
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQf6S7bU5w2
"No!"152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pTWX103hA
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0zubVBvzp
"Keep going!" she insisted, struggling against the creature's grip.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLwDouR2l0
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYc8smeeVe
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.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mrD0atfYd

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.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZE8vSaSyG
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rIpTVpaID
The sound of the creatures' moans echoed behind us, growing louder with each passing second. They were coming.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ffq1ayV2k
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMSTAoYjzz
"We need to keep moving," I said, my voice tight with urgency.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchsAx36XpD
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIl9ZQIT5Y
Maya nodded, her face pale but determined. Sasha was silent, her eyes filled with tears. Evelyn looked back at the mansion, her expression unreadable.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ko8OhMY7n
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DmyUQHP4Z
"Come on," I said, grabbing her arm. "We can't stop now."152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOIRlh2emk
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6Ch1pWoXg
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.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzugj4o0xUp
