   Dracula's daughter cont...
She unlocked the front of her small apartment, it was owned by her, and had a front door, with no connecting apartments.
Privacy, yet secure as well, things that Seline treasured a lot.
“Welcome to the lair of Seline.” She said with a lighter tone, and looked back at him, gesturing up the stairs.
“Ladies first.”she smirked trying to lesson the tension between them.
Jason knew that she wanted to be alone with her pain, but at the same time hoped that by him being around the pain would be less. Especially since she said she would enjoy his company tonight, he new she hadn’t liked seeing her brother’s body, yet it was for the best.
When she opened the door to her apartment, it was unique in the fact that it was privately owned by her, something which he hadn’t seen before.
She indicated for him to go up first, he did so even after hearing what she had said, he knew she was trying to lighten the mood. As he went up he spoke back to help ease her mind from the situation at hand,
“But men just before.”
He smiled and walked up the flight of stairs, hoping that she would take the joke as well. He went up until he was faced with a door, at this point he decided to wait for Seline.

She gave a slight smile to hi as she opened her apartment door. The first thing that is noticeable is that all the walls of the living room are bookshelves stocked with hundreds of books, as well as a sleek black piano in front of a window, overlooking outside.
The carpet was a deep wine color and soft it could be felt through shoes.
Seline sat on one of the many lounge chairs that were in the main area of the living room, and a she clicked a button, a part of a bookshelf lifted up to reveal a flat plasma TV. She clicked it on and turned it to a music channel, having the volume low.
She went into the kitchen, the adjacent room to the piano.
The floor was a black marble tile, as were the counters. The rest was stainless steel, the appliances, the cabinets and the refrigerator. It had a sterile, but smooth look to it.
Beyond the kitchen was a hallway that had three connecting rooms, a full bathroom and two bedrooms.
Glancing up, her eyes traveled over to Jason’s form, he was looking at the piano. Her voice was a bit stronger now, not as weak as before.
“Can you play it?”
Was all she asked.
