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.255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyybXCozVv
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AP9ZevKcu
"There!" I shouted, pointing toward the gate. "We're almost there!"255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4n6xhazQV0
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFz6s4GOOm4
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.255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktG38PFpXz
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Fe34Ja7iJ
"No!" Maya cried, her voice trembling. "What do we do now?"255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLp7z3woof
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vcnAlLoSm
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.255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbPD7dcJDt
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaCuNQm2AJ
"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."255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUghUhK4dPk
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm09BR5k0lT
"Safer?" Sasha snapped, her voice rising with panic. "Are you kidding me? Those things are in there!"255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡel3D5Et6zH
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzoMAyP3EH
"We don't have a choice!" Evelyn shot back, her eyes wide with desperation. "We can't stay here!"255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzSpsAtAvK
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGWK86CYev
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.255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDIzGE6U9I
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62Fw5g7fpG
"Fine," I said, my voice firm. "Back to the mansion. Now!"255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt49dQdKygj
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWDO7d3uUy
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!"255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGgQ1qP4E5
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SfeTA3iig
"Keep running!" I yelled, grabbing her arm and pulling her forward.255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnU6Gozkvy
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseCAw21a0x
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.255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFEjLEXVJW
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4opLCBcv6
"Sasha!" I screamed, my voice filled with anguish as the creature's hand pierced through her back, its bloodied claws emerging from her ribs.255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSvNJjlEa3
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4T9U5dpCg
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!"255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaW74UaF1Ru
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUPrXgh2xH
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.255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQcrWnZKGa
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UpU9hi1Po
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.255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXl6kAWRkm
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWu4BpUl2o
"Where do we go?" Maya asked, her voice tight with fear.255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxH6tR10qCl
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGua0dDuCE
"Upstairs," Evelyn said, her voice trembling. "We'll hide in one of the rooms."255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc382AmVSBI
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvDbNDg2it
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.255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUGTjaRrOD
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4FUH7hJbc
"In here," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDiGurdtin
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2OaaEqh3E
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.255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxupTUYAWk
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQvYjJcIdD
"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."255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6lqhSDfui
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rIT7uxiYu
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.255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZnk24lJXq
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOkLCiQFPp
"We need to barricade the door!" I said, my voice tight with urgency.255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETV0GYnh0L
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIQgRp3SSG
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.255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOCksFZlFp
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yU7OZEZV1
"Aargh!" Maya screamed.255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrjM9UAize
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyNoIdrAgF
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.255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JOkh5wsDS
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCorlBqmE81
The sound of her screams echoed through the hallway, growing fainter and fainter until they were swallowed by the darkness.255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobyOzqsSaA
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QcTeE0XM2
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.255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugCkhi0N3f
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayc1Rv0l7G
"The closet," I said, my voice tight with urgency. "We'll hide in the closet."255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvE7pYCb25W
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1B74t4eyeO
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.255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtQhR1pwdV
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIscDz2ZUv
"I'm sorry," Maya whispered, her voice trembling. "For everything. For not believing you. For not being there when you needed me."255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5fDL0TviV
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHptiBS65X2
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.255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOMujB8Ltg
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLI0fSR73n
"I forgive you," I said finally, my voice soft but steady. "And I'm sorry too. For pushing you away. For not trusting you."255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5x9Mf7yBpW
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7L1KkoMv80
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.255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPD0rOSnGc
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbhdV5jea6
But then the sound came again—a low, guttural moan, closer than ever. The monsters were right outside the door.255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi94oViKFTf
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HDnurRyeo
I closed my eyes, holding Maya tighter. "Whatever happens," I whispered, "I'm glad we're together."255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlmPZ4WdKP
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapssfvxh7X
Maya nodded, her tears soaking into my shirt. "Me too."255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPJu0iY7Bm
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQOs0dMeLj
The sound of the monsters grew louder, their claws scraping against the door. Maya and I held our breath, our hearts pounding in unison.255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RSaYYYCsY
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnJ2XSll6k
And then, silence.255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIfq7ppBJj
