The car's engine shut off, leaving the area in complete silence as they dark clouds covered the sky overhead. A flock of birds too far away to see shot through the sky, completely silent as they passed over the road the car sat on. The large, worn iron gates that acted as the entryway of the manor grounds stood tall and imposing in the middle of the overgrown road, apparently unused for the entire time between the manor's abandonment and now.
Perhaps there was an alternate entrance that the criminals were using..?
The entire area was covered in a dead silence, the abandoned manor itself was exuding a sort of uncomfortable feeling like the majority of abandoned things always did. But..
The gate itself was covered and overgrown with moss, ancient and rusted. There didn't seem to be a lock keeping the two halves together, but the rust probably did a perfectly good job of that by itself. To the sides of the gate was high stone walls, as overgrown with moss as the gate if not moreso. Even further to the sides, the road was surrounded by thick trees that made it nearly impossible for light to get onto the road. On the other side of the gate, however, it seemed to be clear. One of the walls to the side of the gate was broken in several places, possibly making a makeshift ladder to scale the gate if it didn't open?
That would mean the car had to be left behind, however..
Aside from that, there wasn't really much to do in the entryway, it seemed..
Something watched from the bushes to the right side, concealing itself in the foliage that the thick treeline provided.
