The Airport

[Romayne Nikolayev]

A small, sleek jet landed smoothly on the runway that had been specially cleared for the occasion, and steered into the hangar, which while devoid of planes, was far from empty. There were several security staff waiting, as well as a car to take the passengers to their destination.

The door opened, and the passengers began to descend. After another few security staff, a tall, slim figure clad in an expensive silk and velvet dress of deepest red, carefully cut to emphasise her figure, stepped gracefully out, treading carefully in ruby-coloured shoes with diamonds and rubies glinting at her throat and ears. Her long, dark hair curled and flowed freely over her pale shoulders, decorated here and there with scarlet and gold ribbons, and yet more diamonds shining around her brow.

Romayne Nikolayev had arrived in Edgehaven, and she wanted to be sure that everyone knew it. She made her way down the steps, stepping daintily. Her bodyguard, Inessa, followed behind, dressed in a similar fashion in dark reds and silvers, although nowhere near as spectacularly as Romayne. Her face was stoney, and she followed her mistress silently, taking in the surroundings only to eliminate any possibilities of danger.

Romayne, on the other hand, looked around excitedly. She had visited Edgehaven before, although it had been many years since she'd last been there. So many new things! New people, maybe! She smiled, parting her ruby lips to show delicate, white teeth and her slightly elongated fangs, and her mahogany eyes flashed playfully.

She strode towards the door, Inessa behind her, and looked out into the rain. Inessa took an umbrella from a man who had appeared with it at her elbow, and opened it, ready to shelter her mistress if it was needed. Romayne had no intention of going out into the rain though.

She turned, pouting, and looked at Inessa sorrowfully. "Oh, it would have to be raining, wouldn't it?" She said sadly, her English tinged with her thick Russian accent. Inessa said nothing.

She turned and walked back towards the plane, her heels clicking on the stone floor.

"Oh Amara dear, it's raining! Isn't it awful?" She called to the other woman that had made the flight with her.

Austin Edit: Minor corrections, because I can

[Amara Lémartes]

Amara Lémates wasn't as self important as Romayne but liked to make an entrance all the same.

Her long white leather cape draped over an red velvet gown, that was designed to show off her sleek physique. She gently swept her long raven black hair to one side and shelltered under a hood attached to the cape, preparing to brave the rain.

"So i see" she snidely replied to Romayne's obvious statement. Her ice blue eyes glistened as she looked towards the rain. She joined Romayne with her cane by her side.

Although she wasn't too keen on Romayne, she saw there was no better time to pay her older brother a visit. She knew how he liked his space to be his own so with 3 women around things might get interesting. Her jealousy spurred her on everytime an opportunity to get under her brother's feet arose.

"Come on then". She turned to Romayne "He's expecting you".

Amara's eyes lit up as she gave an evil grin.

[Romayne Nikolayev]

Romyane returned Amara's grin with one of her own, and her eyes flashed wickedly. It was something she had managed to perfect when she was young - a perfect balance of wickness, mischeviousness and a dash of innocence.

Truth be told, she didn't really like Amara all that much, but she was interesting, and sometimes fun. And besides, she was part of Vincent's life, so she had to at least pretend to like her. She smiled again, and turned towards the car that was waiting, standing demurely and waiting for one of the security staff to open the door for her.

[Cornelius Stone]

Stone had his men sweep the area making sure it was safe, as he knew it was being this was Vincent's private hanger. Two limos sat ready to receive the two women, one limo a deep purple almost merlot that was Romayne's favorite colour. Although Stone knew that Romayne would find fault with it.
The other limo a plain black for Amara. If she had wanted a personal car waiting she should have paid for it herself.
Stone walked over to the Limo’s and nodded slightly. At that signal valets appeared as if from nowhere opening the doors for the two women.

"Ladies." Stone said with a smile, "Welcome to Edgehaven." He waited as the woman went to there cars and were seated and ready to go.
As this happened he walked over to two plain black cars one that would drive in front of the two limos and the other behind. Stone climbed into the front passenger seat of the car that would lead and said into his ear piece that was linked to every man in every car. "The ladies are seated, we have a green light. Wait for car one to depart then follow." He knew that each and very man knew there tasks and would perform admirably.

Now he just wondered on how may complaints both he and he men would receive from the two ladies.

[Romayne Nikolayev]

Romayne smiled graciously at Stone. "Thank you Cornelius." she purred. She clapped gleefully as her eyes fell on the car - it was almost a perfect match to her dress, although it was a little too purple. She said as much to Inessa, although in a loud enough voice for Stone to hear as well.

Inessa got into the car first, presumably to confirm its saftey for herself, and then Romayne sat down daintily on the seat. She flashed a cat-like smile at the man who closed the door for her.

She turned to Inessa as the engine started and rearranged her hair, which while being the same length and colour of Romaynes, did not possess the natural shine or softness that Romayne's did. "Isn't this exciting?" She purred to her in Russian. Inessa responded with a soft "yes, ma'am." in the same language.

[Amara Lémartes]

Amara nodded curtiously " Thank you Stone"

She clutched her cape and dress a stepped elegently into the limo. The car was perfect: plain, but noticably important. Her eyes still glistning she flashed the driver a wicked smile as he looked in the rear - view. He looked prepared for something to go wrong. Or for Amara to complain about anything possible.

She wound the window down, " We've just got to wait for Romayne to stop smiling and fluttering her lashes at the guys now Stone."

She thought Romayne was a vain woman who instantly thought every male fancied her, and thats why she lead them on with a smile and 'the look'.

She closed the window which was tinted the darkest of shades. The engine turned over then gave out a roar to let them know it was ready to go.

Amara set her cane down on the seat next to her, ran her hand along it happy in the knowing that it consealed a sharp and strong blade, then rested her hand on her lap. As the car pulled away she was greatful of the silence and time away from Romayne.

She pondered on weather to do the invisibility party trick just to shake up the driver. Seeing as they we're employees of Vincent they've probably been told any mistakes could lead to severe punishment.

"Hmmmmm" The driver looked anticipating a remark. Amara smiled, she assumed he was uneased just by that.

[Amara Lémartes]

"Whats taking so long" Amara said in an impatient tone.

She was egar to see how Vincent would cope with the manor being over run by women.

[Romayne Nikolayev]

((Sorry, I thought I'd posted moving!))

Romayne flashed her driver another catlike grin as the engine, which had been purring patiently, rumbled into life and the car began its journey. She settled back into the seat and closed her eyes with a soft sigh. Inessa sat straighbacked beside her, alert as always.
