Letting Lizzy choose where to go for their senior trip was the easy part. Coming to terms with entering an abandoned mansion of some old guy and his arsonist, and possibly homicidal, adopted son, was something Tyler was still working on. Still, the important part was that he got to spend it with Lizzy, even if he did have to do all the driving. Tyler rolled his shoulders back and stretched his neck from one side to the other. He hated being cooped up for long trips and he was starting to get stiff from the car ride already. As he cocked his head, Tyler heard his friend's taunt. He glanced over and started to respond sarcastically, "Oh, I was just going to ask one of the orphans..." His sentence trailed off when he got an eye full of long bare legs extending out to the dashboard. He paused for a second, his mouth slightly agape and then blinked with a small shake of his head. 
Snapping his eyes back to the road, Tyler almost spotted the exit too late. "Shit." He turned the steering wheel sharply and veered off the highway, just barely missing the yellow water barriers and earning a retaliation of honks from behind him. Tyler exhaled and loosened his grip on the wheel. "Hold on?"

After a few minutes of driving past endless trees, the mansion finally came into view. Tyler slowed down and leaned forward to look out the passenger window at it as they rolled by. "I guess this is it?" The mansion was tall with a dark roof and a porch that wrapped around the front, along with a set of stairs leading up to the front door. A wrought iron fence, slowly being taken over by vines, enclosed the entire property. Tyler stopped the car as they reached the front gate. It had swirling designs at the top and a circle in the middle with a large [i]V[/i].
Tyler turned off the ignition and stepped out of the car slowly, closing the door behind him and dropping the keys into his pocket. Still looking at the mansion, he was already starting to have second doubts. "Ladies first."
