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.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHjKzeArzT

"We need to move," I said, my voice low but firm. "Now."268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYO1t4txGI
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpSApQPYHB
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."268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHrUQA9h4N
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmTYFepn0c
"And if it's locked?" Maya asked, her voice trembling.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrP9f3HkDy
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wenTGtCy8
"It's not," Evelyn said, "Mom is always forgetful, so she leaves the key in the keyhole."268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdlFQfgGJu
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcT9XmI1euf
We exchanged uneasy glances. Evelyn seemed genuinely confused about what was going on in her own house. Hopefully, she was right about this.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oeBuCmSDr
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedzvUXwAUU
"Stay close," I said, stepping toward the door. "And don't stop for anything."268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBfsOkQaUc
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ417bpBzJ2T
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.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrUd7E1jED
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5xNcYQF1F
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.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6e1ilwsj9
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8vpaLgVRf
The moans grew louder, and the air grew colder. The creature was following us.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOVZ4svwWs
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiJf96rfRq
"Faster," I whispered, my heart pounding in my chest.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRNNTj3fpx
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvULzYlarC
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.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuXlvTotst
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHgfYDikFi
"Run!" I shouted, pulling the others forward to get ahead of me, starting with Sasha, Masha, Maya, then Evelyn.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ586k7zI9Eq
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKl2luFxzp
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."268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvg3WGw3ibk
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BKA3N0Mrc
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!"268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohs4Q1xOnU
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaejSnVdqP
"Hendrick, no!" Maya screamed, her voice breaking.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9uljHTvJI
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGc7yJIir7l
"Just go!" Hendrick snapped, his eyes never leaving the creature. "I'll buy you time!"268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28zcEJ0hFG
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFaGElNUA3
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.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozZJiLgQv7
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kaX40AcBO
"Go!" he shouted again, his voice strained.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNSGbIAZSM
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRK1KfZgZ0
I grabbed Maya's arm, pulling her away. "We have to go!" I said, my voice tight with urgency.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNK7LJMuhKI
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJdzR5U16B
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.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5wSClkLzm

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.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJPen4edcY
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHedv33A26F
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.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxZVDNmYlz
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ivq1RxPl3
Another creature stepped out of the shadows, its glowing eyes fixed on us. It was smaller than the first, but no less terrifying.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuE0JqUmlLt
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAVdo5b3K6
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.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67crtvtE4a
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vEXv1FfzY
"What the hell are you guys doing!" Masha shouted, her voice sharp. "Run."268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VskXRuSmV
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5IhJfjsMr
I hesitated, my heart pounding in my chest. "Masha..."268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nZ9HKJy5M
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIT7DL7hh9Q
"Don't worry," she said, forcing a small smile. "I'm right behind you."268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0OUjWN6rG
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOwlAf10px
We started for the door, but the creature grabbed Masha.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrN5XIQvfuS
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnMqPJsKdD
"No!"268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLUuirMOhh
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnBULGNdDv
"Keep going!" she insisted, struggling against the creature's grip.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JdSmB5R7m
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmG8N43UHg
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.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe49EGy2bKY

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.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2pGYusvdv
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPT2xMU35Q
The sound of the creatures' moans echoed behind us, growing louder with each passing second. They were coming.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡID5y27TqRh
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wsnP9AXYU
"We need to keep moving," I said, my voice tight with urgency.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLEN2QsgKK
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGKP07oDOf
Maya nodded, her face pale but determined. Sasha was silent, her eyes filled with tears. Evelyn looked back at the mansion, her expression unreadable.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBh9gsIvrkN
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetiH8w7YJM
"Come on," I said, grabbing her arm. "We can't stop now."268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsonqTPoP5r
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsU5CpqsEcd
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.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYwNHaDsOQ
