The rain pelted against the windshield of Michael's beat-up Chevrolet as it crawled up the winding road leading to Darkwood Manor. The five teenagers inside – Michael, Jessica, Sarah, Emily, and Tom – peered anxiously through the foggy glass, their expressions a mix of excitement and trepidation. "Are you sure this is a good idea?" Sarah asked, her voice barely audible over the storm raging outside. "I mean, people have gone missing here before." Tom, always the skeptic of the group, scoffed. "That's just urban legend stuff. No one's actually disappeared." "Then why is it abandoned?" Emily countered, her eyes wide as she caught her first glimpse of the looming mansion through a break in the trees. Michael gripped the steering wheel tighter, his knuckles turning white. "Look, we came here for an adventure, right? To see if the stories are true. We can't back out now." Jessica remained silent, her gaze fixed on the ornate iron gates that marked the entrance to the property. As they approached, a chill ran down her spine – the gates seemed to open on their own, creaking ominously as if welcoming them to their doom. The car lurched to a stop in front of the mansion, its headlights illuminating the crumbling facade. Gothic architecture loomed above them, all sharp angles and leering gargoyles. Windows like dead eyes stared down at the teenagers, reflecting flashes of lightning. "Well, we're here," Michael announced, his voice cracking slightly. "Let's go." They stepped out into the howling wind, rain immediately soaking through their clothes. Jessica fumbled with her backpack, extracting flashlights and handing them out to the group. As the beams of light cut through the darkness, strange shadows seemed to dance across the overgrown lawn.
