the vampires had been there first163 * 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 them163 * 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 wall163 * the road came down the hill and limited the view of the house through the double, wrought-iron gates163 * the sweeping Spanish arches that graced the sides of the building disguised the scarcity of windows164 * ground leveled for parking just outside the walls164 * the front gates were large enough to drive a semi through them166 * around the side is a small, open door in the wall for secondary access166 * building is surrounded by undeveloped scrub outside the gates;

bare in the winter167 * 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 house167 * guesthouse has an entry hall decorated aggressively in the colors and textures of the American Southwest, complete with clay pots and kachina dolls167 * the decor was overwhelmed by the smell of mostly unfamiliar flowers and herbs rather than the scents of the desert167 * potpourri didn't disguise the smell of old leather and rotting fabrics167 * past the entry hall through the soaring ceilings of a living room into the sitting room hall;

absolute darkness; smell of bleach173 * motion sensitive fluorescent lights revealed a empty room with cement floors, walls and ceilings; sterile empty effect173 * 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 doors174 * 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 walls174 * elevator hidden behind one of the doors in the corridor; leads to the main house * opens into a kitchen; bright lights and bird's-eye maple cabinetry, creamy stone countertops; no windows but a clever use of mirrors and backlit stained-glass panels to make up for the lack184 * next to the refrigerator was an outside door that leads to the manicured lawn184 * the houses are connected by tunnels184 [[Blood Bound]] * wrought-iron gates; brightly lit courtyard70 * huge hacienda-style, adobe house; circular drive70 * smaller guest house tucked into the backyard70 * main house front door makes a curious groaning noise70 * entry way; small sitting room it led into then down the hall;

The houses in this one almost escaped that “we were all designed by the same architect and you can pick one of three house plans” sameness. It had been in place long enough for hedges and greenery, but not quite long enough for big trees. * The neighborhood was firmly middle-class, with mobile basketball hoops in front of the garage doors in driveways and swing sets in the backyards. The people who lived right next door to Wulfe had a giant cedar kid’s activity center—it was way too huge to be merely a swing set—and an aboveground swimming pool in their side yard. The side yard right next to Wulfe’s house264 * Though it looked spotlessly clean, the interior of the house smelled265 * 1950s chrome and green Formica kitchen tables. There were three chairs that matched the table: two of them were knocked over, and the third was tucked in where it belonged on the side of the table266 * The light over the dining-room table was on, and someone had put daylight bulbs in the fixture because the tabletop looked more like an operating table than a place people might sit down and eat breakfast266 ===== X ===== ===== Y ===== ===== Z ===== ====Zee Adelbertsmiter House==== [[Zee Adelbertsmiter House]] \\ **IA**: [[Mercy Thompson Series]] #1: [[Moon Called]]\\ **Location**: , Washington\\ **Affiliated**:\\ [[Ghost Zee House]]\\ [[Tad Adelbertsmiter]]\\ [[Zee Adelbertsmiter]]\\ **Description** [[Frost Burned]] * Less than a mile from Kennewick High School, a small Victorian198 * House needed paint and a little work on the porch. The yard was tiny198 * House and yard were surrounded by a wrought-iron fence that was suitably elaborate for an iron-kissed fae's home198 * Furnished sparsely and none-too-fancily despite its Victorian appointments, which included the original light fixtures and fine woodwork. The living room had a matching couch and love seat that were comfortably worn. A small flat-screen TV adorned the wall between two build-in bookcases filled with paperback books. A handmade rug softened the hardwood floor198 * To the right, a door opened to an eat-in kitchen that had a 1950's-style table for two that had passed shabby and hit antique. On the wall next to the table was a large photo of a serious, young-looking man who looked a lot like Tad. The man was dressed in a suit and standing next to a good-looking woman in a wedding dress with her brown hair in a poofy style common a couple of decades ago198 * 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 dumbwaiter199 * 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 fortune203 * 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 mirror203
