+ | * road cut into the side of a hill that overlooked the town, and for thirty years, doctors, lawyers, and CEOs had been building their four-thousand-square-foot homes on the steeply sloped lots; the vampires had been there first< | ||
+ | * end of the main street, a smaller gravel road broke off and cut between a pair of two-story brick edifices; looked almost like it might be a driveway but continued past the houses and into the undeveloped area behind them< | ||
+ | * a quarter mile through usual eastern Washington scrub; then up over a small ridge that was just large enough to hide a two-story, sprawling hacienda surrounded by an eight-foot wall< | ||
+ | * the road came down the hill and limited the view of the house through the double, wrought-iron gates< | ||
+ | * the sweeping Spanish arches that graced the sides of the building disguised the scarcity of windows< | ||
+ | * ground leveled for parking just outside the walls< | ||
+ | * the front gates were large enough to drive a semi through them< | ||
+ | * around the side is a small, open door in the wall for secondary access< | ||
+ | * building is surrounded by undeveloped scrub outside the gates; the interior grounds were elaborate; the grass, dark and luxurious; roses in protected areas near the house, mums; formal French-style garden, organized beds and meticulous grooming< | ||
+ | * gardens look odd next to the Spanish-style adobe< | ||
+ | * grapevines lined the wall; bare in the winter< | ||
+ | * cobbled path goes past a swimming pool around the corner of the house to a broad swath of lawn; across the lawn is a two-story guesthouse almost a third the size of the main house< | ||
+ | * guesthouse has an entry hall decorated aggressively in the colors and textures of the American Southwest, complete with clay pots and kachina dolls< | ||
+ | * the decor was overwhelmed by the smell of mostly unfamiliar flowers and herbs rather than the scents of the desert< | ||
+ | * potpourri didn't disguise the smell of old leather and rotting fabrics< | ||
+ | * past the entry hall through the soaring ceilings of a living room into the sitting room hall; half again the size of the biggest room in Mercy' | ||
+ | * comfortable; | ||
+ | * matching chairs; a love seat< | ||
+ | * a large window dominated the room< | ||
+ | * upright piano with a bench tucked into one corner of the room< | ||
+ | * out of the sitting room through the house to an alcove sheltering a wrought-iron spiral staircase< | ||
+ | * the stairway went deeper than a basement; small lights on the cement wall surrounded the stairs; they' | ||
+ | * fresh air wafted out of small vents that kept the air moving< | ||
+ | * it goes down twenty five feet from the surface< | ||
+ | * the stairway ended in a pad of cement; absolute darkness; smell of bleach< | ||
+ | * motion sensitive fluorescent lights revealed a empty room with cement floors, walls and ceilings; sterile empty effect< | ||
+ | * through the room and into a narrow tunnel that sloped gently upward; steel doors without knobs or handles lined the tunnel at even intervals; things moving behind the doors< | ||
+ | * tunnel took a narrow turn, the floor became a steep upward set of twelve stairs that ended in a room with curved plaster walls, wooden floors, and soft lighting; directly opposite the stairway was mocha leather couch with curves that echoed the walls< | ||
+ | * elevator hidden behind one of the doors in the corridor; leads to the main house | ||
+ | * opens into a kitchen; bright lights and bird' | ||
+ | * next to the refrigerator was an outside door that leads to the manicured lawn< | ||
+ | * the houses are connected by tunnels< | ||
+ | |||
+ | [[Blood Bound]] | ||
+ | * wrought-iron gates; brightly lit courtyard< | ||
+ | * huge hacienda-style, | ||
+ | * smaller guest house tucked into the backyard< | ||
+ | * main house front door makes a curious groaning noise< | ||
+ | * entry way; small sitting room it led into then down the hall; one side of the hall had three doors with arched tops, all closed, but the other side opened into a very large, airy room with a high ceiling and recessed lights< | ||
+ | * walls cover with brightly colored paintings, some floor to ceiling< | ||
+ | * walls painted a soft yellow; made it feel bright and cheerful even though no windows< | ||
+ | * floor was made of dark clay tiles in a variety of reddish browns; light neutral-colored woven rugs scattered about almost at random< | ||
+ | * three couches, five comfy-looking chairs; coral color southwestern feel, set in a loose semicircle around a large wooden chair [[articles_of_magic# | ||

+ | * a big, sprawling brick house on a large lot with a circular drive, the kind of house that should have generations of children growing up in it< | ||

+ | * House needed paint and a little work on the porch. The yard was tiny< | ||
+ | * House and yard were surrounded by a wrought-iron fence that was suitably elaborate for an iron-kissed fae's home< | ||
+ | * Furnished sparsely and none-too-fancily despite its Victorian appointments, | ||
+ | * To the right, a door opened to an eat-in kitchen that had a 1950' | ||
+ | * Typically Victorian narrow and steep stairs to the second story and from there to a hallway. At the end of the hall was a half door- two feet wide by three feet tall, the kind of door that would have hidden a linen closet or a dumbwaiter< | ||
+ | * The room was narrow and long, wide enough, if barely, for three people to stand shoulder to shoulder. The floor was carpeted with layers of Persian rugs that were worth a not-so-small fortune< | ||
+ | * Unmatched bookcases lined the wall on one of the long ways of the room, ranging from hand-carved museum pieces to boards separated by cinder blocks. The top two shelves of each held a selection of unpainted metal toys. The rest of the shelves were filled with various sharp=bladed weapons. The books, and there were a lot of them, were piled on the floor on the other side of the room. The wall directly across from the doorway was entirely covered by an enormous mirror< | ||
