ROMANOV MANSION
[/size]
[/center]Hidden deep in the woods is Romanov Mansion, an old mansion dating back centuries. The outside is beautiful, covered with vines and invisible to most of the world. It is always well guarded with many vampires, animals, and the occassional Were or Human that is under Natallia's control. There is a stone wall around the property, vines, bushes, and shrubs hiding a good portion of it. There is no real path leading to the mansion, no visible one, anyway. Only the members of Vampire Kiss {most live in the Mansion} know where the path is. The path is covered with poison ivy and thistles and trees block most of the way.
From the very outside, it looks like a rather large building, it's highest most steeple hidden by the trees. It is made of stone and has many windows. Every window on the premises has steel plates covering them, all of which are now automated by a new system placed within by Natallia herself. By the door, there are always two guards posted; Vampires at night, Hypnotized Humans during the day.
The front has a beautiful and open expanse of land where one could relax. In the back is a small patio {one of the newer additions to the place} and a small graveyard in memory of her family and those she had killed. It serves mainly as a reminder to most of her members that, though you may be immortal, she can still kill you.
Right inside the doors is a vast stairway and foyer area. The inside of the home is mostly renovated tofit the times. There are granite statues and floors. Natallia decorates it from time to time to go with whatever holiday is coming up. It gives the place a less evil vibe for any foolish trespasser to try and go inside. There are alarm systems within, set to a frequency that only a Were or Vamp can hear.
There are many rooms, nearly one hundred within the entire estate. Some rooms include bathrooms, living rooms, relaxation rooms, a vast dining room, and many others.
As you could imagine, she herself has her own bedroom, one that is not shared with any other. It is the biggest room of the bedrooms and is riddled with hidden entrances and traps. Under her bed, hidden away where only she can find, is the rose wood stake that she uses whenever she finds that on of her own has tried to wrong her or tried to over throw her. It is marked with many initials, all belonging to those she has killed.
There are a few other bedrooms that are not shared. They belong to the more important members of Vampire Kiss. The second biggest being her Second-in-Commands and then a few for her most trusted members.
On the upper floors of the building, Anzhela has recently added a pool for night time swims as well as a few other 'fun' things to do. Every one needs a break sooner or later, Vampires are no different. Some of these rooms include the pool, a billiards room, lounge area, and, shockingly enough, a kitchen.
Though these headquarters are beautiful and hold many pleasentries, it is still the home of Natallia Anzhela Romanov and her 'property' as well as hostages need a place of their own, right? Yes, the mansion has a basement, a rather nice one at that, but under the basement is a maze of sorts, full of dungeons and torture chambers for her little 'playthings'. It is the deadliest part of the Mansion and is, like most of the building, always well guarded.
