Snippet #1975231

Nicholas set Cora down in front of the stone steps of Redgrave Manor.
He felt a slight breeze ripple past, as it brushed his hair to one side.

The journey had not taken long. Being a Vampire, he had utilized his unnatural strength and speed to get her safely home.

Nicholas leant forward, and clicked down on the handle. The door swung open with a slight push, it's hinges oiled perfectly.
Nicholas never bothered to lock the door. Most people would never even find this place, in this secluded area of land, and those that did would never try and get past the many hounds he kept on the grounds,
Through the door, the lobby was visible, completely tiled in white marble, with a large, red-velvet-adorned staircase leading up to the first floor. The lobby was decorated with many pieces of Nicholas' favourite art.
A rather obnoxious self portrait of himself was hung on a far wall, Looking the very same as he did today.

"Well...?" He asked her, slightly anxious of what she would think.
This is where you'll be living... forever. He thought.

The anxiety thickens.
