As the day of the party approached, Lena found herself growing more and more anxious. She had never been to such a remote location before and the thought of driving through the dark, winding roads was making her nervous.

Despite her nerves, Lena was determined to attend the party. She arrived at the mansion just before sunset and was immediately struck by its grandeur. The place was enormous, with sprawling grounds and a long driveway that seemed to go on forever.

As she walked up to the front door, Lena couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. The mansion was old and imposing, and it looked like it had been abandoned for years. But as she stepped inside, Lena's apprehensions faded away, replaced by a sense of excitement and wonder.

The interior of the mansion was even more grand than the exterior. The main hall was decorated with antique furniture and paintings that seemed to come to life in the flickering light of the candles. Lena was greeted by a host of guests, all dressed in elaborate costumes, dancing and chatting amongst themselves.

Despite the festive atmosphere, Lena couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off about the place. She felt like she was being watched, and the air was thick with a sense of anticipation that made her uneasy.

As the night wore on, Lena noticed that several guests had gone missing. She asked around, but no one seemed to know where they had gone. Lena became increasingly uneasy and decided to leave the party.

As she made her way towards the front door, Lena couldn't shake off the feeling that someone was following her. She turned around, but no one was there. With a sense of relief, she stepped outside and made her way to her car, determined to put the strange events of the night behind her.
