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.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuWD4uYfNj
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7MGmaCgdH
"There!" I shouted, pointing toward the gate. "We're almost there!"149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDacQXsNOJ
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNHSQ4OwWU
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.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFzRygHlS9
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eNCcBBuTG
"No!" Maya cried, her voice trembling. "What do we do now?"149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfEfVkbzCv
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8KxUqOSsX
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.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEs2PCzyfpP
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxbOuzLRfR
"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."149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeotGFwqwi
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23J9XXuUSb
"Safer?" Sasha snapped, her voice rising with panic. "Are you kidding me? Those things are in there!"149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntWiaVydeh
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPegNXPucsR
"We don't have a choice!" Evelyn shot back, her eyes wide with desperation. "We can't stay here!"149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zdNXMvyg2
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8f2JiPnQOg
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.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72LHXCGNvQ
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQhaigw0fW
"Fine," I said, my voice firm. "Back to the mansion. Now!"149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfb0bcZGZ78
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdj6ltrb1v
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!"149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26yhHWyGEZ
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalfIBCoy5i
"Keep running!" I yelled, grabbing her arm and pulling her forward.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IMgWdLHjS
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeU6Wg4FINW
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.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLvz6wxHJO
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSoTqmIBhW
"Sasha!" I screamed, my voice filled with anguish as the creature's hand pierced through her back, its bloodied claws emerging from her ribs.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mucnlVHCQ
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKloOvuTbA
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!"149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9P3z8JsWa
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswMhfBBFQS
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.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJBbmPImu5
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eztzzCYWa
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.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYrqLngh8I
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7xLqxcfYp
"Where do we go?" Maya asked, her voice tight with fear.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwBswgs140
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeTscG0Vmd
"Upstairs," Evelyn said, her voice trembling. "We'll hide in one of the rooms."149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpexI1TWWk
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtP9F3izuC
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.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFsE8Mo5LE
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMiBaI0OOd
"In here," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRInplaQrA
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIWk0lltjO
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.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnEjLZ4Rd4
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tZlW94Sd3
"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."149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BsKEWFkB9
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJ5d2HkV18
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.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGgPfZAIFK
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiih8OykWZ
"We need to barricade the door!" I said, my voice tight with urgency.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBT8iG1rG1
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIasYu7lKxY
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.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuonGr5a7Q
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jMTZDaR40
"Aargh!" Maya screamed.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMeIDBR1Qq
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlZ6pkIYxP
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.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmdFkYdAfc
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SHeV21w8P
The sound of her screams echoed through the hallway, growing fainter and fainter until they were swallowed by the darkness.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmSbOWXwVi
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKPhUBk8V3
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.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYisSOwzVPq
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXI2fNYGHV
"The closet," I said, my voice tight with urgency. "We'll hide in the closet."149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFseSogws4
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmUShlAAGi
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.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzuY0ezjtt
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeijPySTvj
"I'm sorry," Maya whispered, her voice trembling. "For everything. For not believing you. For not being there when you needed me."149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACtZKdLinf
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRktUdKSlrj
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.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPtrLN5Y3D
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXT0MpBbtTa
"I forgive you," I said finally, my voice soft but steady. "And I'm sorry too. For pushing you away. For not trusting you."149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRytSXB2wsD
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVD6XNqVQpF
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.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreGm8y9TM3
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3uwqOgc7z
But then the sound came again—a low, guttural moan, closer than ever. The monsters were right outside the door.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbARhBjjsjm
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEU4N6wSUkH
I closed my eyes, holding Maya tighter. "Whatever happens," I whispered, "I'm glad we're together."149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrKoNDNX1L
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIuESYwNbl
Maya nodded, her tears soaking into my shirt. "Me too."149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAf4R4ZqFx
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUpYr2kxuR
The sound of the monsters grew louder, their claws scraping against the door. Maya and I held our breath, our hearts pounding in unison.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKrv0eWhVE
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBtATrshlA
And then, silence.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqB2VhzmeIf
