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.256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iUSLtFO4I
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYUN9TJfBw
"There!" I shouted, pointing toward the gate. "We're almost there!"256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGt7qMYkFDQ
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5mk1OWUXU
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.256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa278gdHtue
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgos1BbHtfN
"No!" Maya cried, her voice trembling. "What do we do now?"256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5pmFls7JN
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYlJPl3HVK
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.256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsspcP1P4sH
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZJsRps1US
"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."256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleElOmaNMk
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykufHVwUvb
"Safer?" Sasha snapped, her voice rising with panic. "Are you kidding me? Those things are in there!"256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoosNLZMxS
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKfaDsdITl
"We don't have a choice!" Evelyn shot back, her eyes wide with desperation. "We can't stay here!"256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQOX4hAX8X
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YeMreTEYF
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.256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPU8BeToqi
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiWCm8j5Ox
"Fine," I said, my voice firm. "Back to the mansion. Now!"256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYQEaKdT1P
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PFLBezyJi
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!"256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWZyPF1s0O
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3863nvxKGS
"Keep running!" I yelled, grabbing her arm and pulling her forward.256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhoMRdErve
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFFWwoyy2B
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.256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECen6Wrzpy
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogbeNqPc3g
"Sasha!" I screamed, my voice filled with anguish as the creature's hand pierced through her back, its bloodied claws emerging from her ribs.256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6W9WWKyARB
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXkgZGl7qJ
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!"256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyo9P76fGdL
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbFbcffQPg
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.256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnCLKxZOi9
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjj2yrgXZ7D
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.256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYIMtALAoX
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMTjrwbvry
"Where do we go?" Maya asked, her voice tight with fear.256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xYOal443I
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf80lCpl6Vs
"Upstairs," Evelyn said, her voice trembling. "We'll hide in one of the rooms."256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaCTk5qaXK
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruBkm1UDdW
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.256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKBrknzPen
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxJUVEbKzn
"In here," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBMqVzQrSQ
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1Wnzrx8tW
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.256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdVc78aZiT
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNhDaOz3ke
"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."256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvmZeSmaDa
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGA5Y361Hc
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.256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5OTUAF64a
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EzmzbmsnO
"We need to barricade the door!" I said, my voice tight with urgency.256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZET7Wq6QYm
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSfKGxS2pP
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.256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaIYGQ58Gd
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1n3Qon90DF
"Aargh!" Maya screamed.256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhqVj0p98c
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIvrQ9KPsQ
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.256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsfVKoJQ0x
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVMS5jOQkJ
The sound of her screams echoed through the hallway, growing fainter and fainter until they were swallowed by the darkness.256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOKSVK7o3R
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHQvMDwB5P
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.256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIjFDqtewv
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jMwi5Vw51
"The closet," I said, my voice tight with urgency. "We'll hide in the closet."256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4J3v2vldfU
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6maq8VIXUo
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.256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbLgMBya1T
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRg7iRTBV30
"I'm sorry," Maya whispered, her voice trembling. "For everything. For not believing you. For not being there when you needed me."256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE91EYpCHJe
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yqhmH1VM9
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.256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWs5AGnir43
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqCiDdpaIZ
"I forgive you," I said finally, my voice soft but steady. "And I'm sorry too. For pushing you away. For not trusting you."256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUCvJyNrKP
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sAFKwE1rr
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.256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3bBeyVRff
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsa8Zphvmd3
But then the sound came again—a low, guttural moan, closer than ever. The monsters were right outside the door.256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkN0jFkBt02
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs79xqD904S
I closed my eyes, holding Maya tighter. "Whatever happens," I whispered, "I'm glad we're together."256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46Fi2rmxPf
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgLJ5yxCxS
Maya nodded, her tears soaking into my shirt. "Me too."256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoa6q77XZMF
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjupJ0UYfio
The sound of the monsters grew louder, their claws scraping against the door. Maya and I held our breath, our hearts pounding in unison.256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXsIq3IgMY
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UrW71WBZZ
And then, silence.256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9XKYXIYy8
