disclaimer: I do not own Castlevania (Ra, this is getting repetitive...)
A/N: heh my "brilliant" description of the room was based on several sources but mostly the ads for the Linens&Things and The Great Indoors stores. Another source I used was an article about the mansion that whatshisface Ford (that guy that started Ford cars...) owns. Of course, the whole blood red theme was implied before looking through any ads or articles lol
------------------------------------
Lena and a few of her friends judged room after exquisite room, and finally, they came across the largest room they had ever seen.
Light from the sun was completely blocked by velvet drapes the color of fresh blood, which hung from gold rods over windows almost twice as tall as the average person. The topaz finials on the rods, predictably, were shaped into bats. The only sources of light were the blood-red candles in the room. Several extravagant chandeliers rained down the candles' luminosity from the high, vaulted ceiling. Single, gold candleholders, accented by gold roses, rested atop mahogany tables and the mantles of the black, marble fireplaces. Mounted onto the walls were gold candleholders, branching out symmetrically to hold 2 candles each. These were also accented with gold roses.
Lena picked up a candleholder from a wall sconce and instantly felt a prickling pain. Along the structure were tiny bits of topaz, shaped into sharp thorns. Lena watched curiously as blood emerged from her fingertips and dropped to the floor below, invisible among the yarns of the blood red, plush carpet. Scattered across the room in no particular order were rectangular rugs in lavish designs of burgundy and gold.
The large size of the room was definitely not taken advantage of. There were few pieces of furniture including one desk of polished mahogany, several cushioned chairs with mahogany framework, and a few tables and corner sconces.
The walls were also rather barren. Aside from the gold candleholders, the upholstered walls were only blotched by 2 mirrors, roses carved into the gold frames.
Aside from the emptiness, it was perfect, except...
"Why is there a coffin in here?" asked Alexis, eyeing the object with an insulting glare.
Even in the almost nonexistent lighting, the coffin's mahogany panels gleamed with such intensity that it almost seemed alive.
"This is Adrian's room," Lena was immediately rooted to her spot by the doorway.
"It is not anymore. First thing we're doing is throwing out this coffin," Axe reached for a corner of the object.
"Wait. We shouldn't-"
"Lena, for the love of god, we are getting rid of this damn coffin!" Katie swung a full-frontal assault at the coffin with a large battleaxe, but the gleaming brilliance of the mahogany casket silently shred its attacker's weapon. Katie's eyes remained transfixed on the jagged edges of the dulling bits of her axe for a few moments.
"I knew that was going to happen," Lena let a miniscule smirk escape her lips.
"NOOOOOOO!" Katie then proceeded to hack the coffin to pieces with a stiletto, but that also proved to be ineffective and suicidal on the stiletto's part. The surface of the glossy casket grinned smugly, basking in the glow of its victory.
"I'M GONNA THROW THAT CURSED COFFIN OUT THE WINDOW!!"
"Let's not," Lena stepped between the painfully beautiful casket and her rabid friend. "Come on. Let's all just move this out into the hallway,"
"Why?"
"...Because I said so,"
"Don't you feel guilty for stealing his room like this?" asked Melissa.
"He never comes here anyway,"
And so it begun. Over the course of a few days, undisturbed by neither Alucard nor his father's minions, the room was transformed...
---------------------------------------
Heh just see what Lena does to the outside of the castle...Alucard's not gonna like it, that's for sure. lol
