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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48NA89ajN5
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3roFqO5I6
"There!" I shouted, pointing toward the gate. "We're almost there!"146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiqaxsenDR
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62c1Bn1OJf
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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtS1A5fLxVF
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5A3zJWE2o0
"No!" Maya cried, her voice trembling. "What do we do now?"146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0awPU41CYr
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuEfZm62u7
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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WKwf849ZG
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAX7i1vKYvp
"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."146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5gMZRxaJH
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsy2krNWfF
"Safer?" Sasha snapped, her voice rising with panic. "Are you kidding me? Those things are in there!"146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQxhYhFLfb
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQ6IVztmX9
"We don't have a choice!" Evelyn shot back, her eyes wide with desperation. "We can't stay here!"146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3l5UL4IUOP
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciKrG0DDGo
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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKYvhMyKWX
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9fXG5Kngy
"Fine," I said, my voice firm. "Back to the mansion. Now!"146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlad5vdgw3
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXtekAXhs6
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!"146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGLgeLTZlQ
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4kqRlAqfp
"Keep running!" I yelled, grabbing her arm and pulling her forward.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3YBO1aeus
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocNvn9Fo9f
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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0e98qyGV1
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoJPOcvkY4
"Sasha!" I screamed, my voice filled with anguish as the creature's hand pierced through her back, its bloodied claws emerging from her ribs.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiyUAxmFEs
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzBNnfUBjj
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!"146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGH1CqalHXj
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4R5sOYuaV
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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmgzE8tMBZ
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaaJ0lkcxf
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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0ynMnNEqK
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttPxaJI5m1
"Where do we go?" Maya asked, her voice tight with fear.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kttZxm4YQ
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfofYwbNtKD
"Upstairs," Evelyn said, her voice trembling. "We'll hide in one of the rooms."146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqodwJxLidY
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNCLgw6mUj
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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCDMKLKz37
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChP4vS9xs1
"In here," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FGIU840yn
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxLO0WCCdv
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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPPGECOAgV
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrPK2fpibd
"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."146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFeP15j8g0
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoerxyt7i9
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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfpGAAFD9B
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwI8zeBtWw
"We need to barricade the door!" I said, my voice tight with urgency.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92EsQyWsnK
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvh7QXopZ8
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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7C7aCuzjZ
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsCJq0quQa
"Aargh!" Maya screamed.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwffBwmrAUB
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkD1kRB5lmQ
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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZMvfj7UI2
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwEdh1JNQa
The sound of her screams echoed through the hallway, growing fainter and fainter until they were swallowed by the darkness.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwWTc8s5L1
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiS0mJM7Jp
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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOVYX8qQUr
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb52kyMpgt9
"The closet," I said, my voice tight with urgency. "We'll hide in the closet."146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzZBW9almH
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fVyyMzmmd
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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBzNkqLmab
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1sG8uPxm2
"I'm sorry," Maya whispered, her voice trembling. "For everything. For not believing you. For not being there when you needed me."146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKtmArpukI
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBEhaLJYsW
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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCMt9K5Cym
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8RvsSFaIQ
"I forgive you," I said finally, my voice soft but steady. "And I'm sorry too. For pushing you away. For not trusting you."146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBsDlAEXad
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpghz8h2qpa
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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡND04ZoLOSp
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpP8ewiU9bf
But then the sound came again—a low, guttural moan, closer than ever. The monsters were right outside the door.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2kmPdelwA
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPMcWqSwO9
I closed my eyes, holding Maya tighter. "Whatever happens," I whispered, "I'm glad we're together."146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwz2lNJZie
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IbvVKVIA0
Maya nodded, her tears soaking into my shirt. "Me too."146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjHEhmH9bc
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ffnPMezo5
The sound of the monsters grew louder, their claws scraping against the door. Maya and I held our breath, our hearts pounding in unison.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1meTAsLOvt
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3xHqTcz86
And then, silence.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAS1SpICOm
