"You've been selected for our special offer. You will be given one FREE night at a quiet, peaceful log mansion in the peaceful forests of Missouri. Miles away from any disturbances, you will have complete peace and quiet in this beautiful Victorian-Style log cabin, which has been unfortunately uninhabited for three years after the owners were unsuccessful in selling it. But we assure you if you take the offer, you'll have the time of your life! This offer is good for 1-7 people. Please E-mail us if you would like to consider this amazing offer." Ryan sighed, finishing reading the strange E-mail to his friends.

"Well? I think we should take it! Sounds fun!" Joey exclaimed.

"Yeah, well, Joey. You're crazy anyway. But that's besides the point. Just LOOK at this place...!" Sara said, pointing at the attached picture. "It's absolutely BEAUTIFUL! I think we should take it."

The others nodded in agreement, Knowing that going against Sara was a pretty bad idea, unless you WANTED to get into a ten-hour argument. Ryan sighed. "You sure about this guys? Sounds a little...Sketchy. I mean, haven't you guys ever watched a horror movie?!?!"

"Oh, Ryan. You always overreact. Remember the time you thought that homeless guy was trying to kill you?" Alyssa asked.

"Yeah, well....HE WAS CREEPY OKAY?" He yelled, then slumped down in his seat, sighing. "Oh, fine. We'll take the damn offer. But if we die, you'll all know the mistake you made."

"Wow Ryan. Where'd you come up with THAT one?" Ethan asked sarcastically, wearing a large grin.

"Hey Ethan? Shut the fuck up." Ryan said. "Let's talk to our parents about it first. I mean, they SHOULD be alright with it. It's only a few hours from here."

They all nodded, texting and calling their individual parents. After a while, all of their parents agreed, which surprised a few of them.

"Never thought my mom would let me go." Alyssa said. "Well, there's a first for everything."

"I hope this isn't some creepy scam or something. If it is, I'm leaving right away." George said, frowning.

"Oh come ON, George. This is great! What could go wrong? It's not like we're gonna get killed by some creepy stalkers or anything like that." Sara said. "That stuff just doesn't happen in real life."
