Love in a Strange Place: A Vampire Witch's Journey to find where she belongs

Chapter 4

After I have finished everything, and I didn't know I was so hungry as I didn't normally eat so much in the last few years I sit back on the couch with a hand on my tummy and say in satisfaction

"Compliments to whoever cooked this as it was delish!"

"I'll be sure to tell them that. Now are you ready for that tour or did you just want to do something else until we need to leave to see your cats?"

"Actually, would it be ok if you show me around what is going to be my space as I would like to unpack and start to go through everything. That is if it is ok, I am just eager to do something that I have never been able to do and I feel like I wasted the last few days here and I don't want to waste anymore."

He looks at me intently for a moment before answering me

"It is more than ok, but you have not wasted any time here as you cannot help being unwell for the last 4 days so there is no rush to get anything done as I will never ask you leave here and if you were to ever go anywhere your belongings will always have a safe home here." I just give him a tight smile and he lets out a sigh before getting up, motioning for someone to clear the dishes and he holds out his hand for me to take and then he gently pulls me to my feet after I take it and we then retrace our steps back to where my room is.

Once back into my room I finally get a chance to properly look around. To say it was huge would be an understatement! The bed dominated the space in front of us, it looked straight out of a history book. It was made of what looked like black stone and was ornately carved with Egyptian hieroglyphs and other similar styled carvings.

There were four pillar-like posts that were topped with what looked like a type of flower, probably the lotus, and the bedhead was even more engraved stone. On either side of the huge bed that could possibly fit 4 there were heavily draped windows that looked to be a similar style to the ones in the hallway and these drapes looked to be dark royal blue.

The bedside tables looked to be similar to the bed, only less ornate, but still engraved. All the fittings in the room looked to be made of gold so against the large amount of dark shades they really did stand out. The walls were more stone, only they looked like they were darker than the rest I have seen today, but no matter which way I turn my head there seemed to be a glitter like sparkle to them.

Not too over the top or in your face type of sparkle, but more elegant and oddly soothing. All the dark colors were tastefully done with either gold or a medium to dark tan type of neutral earthy tones to break up all the black and dark royal blues and it was perfect. I almost could see this room being something that was designed in either the Victorian/ Gothic type era or even Ancient Egyptian, hell it could have been a mix of all of it although you can see where there have been modern additions added here and there.

I look to my left, which was on the other side of the room to the bathroom and walk in closet and see that there is a sitting area next to what looked like a fire place with a very Egyptian grill in front of it so that my cats wouldn't get burned if they got too close and then I see that there is a Tv in this area and along the walls I see that shelving was carved into the walls.

The floor was stone, but there was a few rugs on the floor; one huge one under the bed that was dark royal blue and gold in a pattern that made it look like marble or something like that and it was big enough to have about a footpath size on either side of the bed as well as at the foot, there was another rug in the sitting area that was the same color as the one under the bed only this looked more traditional oriental style and then there was another long one that ran the length of the shelving and again was about a footpath size in width, this looked to be similar to the one in the sitting room and was again the same color.
