Welcome To The Darkside: Part4

I awoke in a bed that engulfed me and, gosh, was it comfortable.
"Ah, you're awake." Jessie said from beside me but I turned away from her, I didn't want to see her. "Are you hungry? We have food if you want some."
I didn't answer, I could smell the food anyway. Someone had cooked eggs, bacon and sausages.
"Well everyone is dying to meet you so come down when you're ready. There are clothes in the wardrobe for you" She said then walked out of the room.
I waited until I heard the soft pat of her feet descend down stairs before I got up and looked around the room. There was only the bed within and the bed itself was huge and there were two doors. One door led out into a hallway and the other led into a bathroom/walk-in wardrobe.
Just inside the door of this room sat a mirror. I looked at myself in the mirror and I didn't like what I saw. My eyes seemed a darker shade of grey, they looked unusual, and my skin was abnormally pale. I was still in my dress, it was ripped and bloody, and there was dried blood over my body. I looked like a panda where my mascara had run. The bite marks were no longer there but my hair was a mess and had leaves and twigs entwined within it. So it was decided, by just the awful sight of myself, that my first move would be a nice hot bath.

Finding jeans and a top in the back of a draw, I dressed then made my way downstairs. The house seemed old and frail but I could feel what seemed like a sort of power within. It seemed to whisper to me, tell me that yes, it was frail but it could fight if needed to.
I found everyone in the kitchen, all eating and laughing. I stood in the doorway watching them. Watching the monsters that was my "family." There were three others that I didn't know. A blonde boy who looked Jessie's age, a boy with brown hair who looked my age and a woman with auburn hair. She was Robert's partner, I guessed, because his arm was round her and then she jumped when she noticed me standing there.
"I thought we hid our feelings well" I mumbled.
"Well you just startled me, Blake" She coughed.
They were all watching me now.
"Blake, this is my wife, Louisa." Robert smiled.
"She knows you kissed me then? Before you made me this." I replied.
Louisa looked at Robert. "You said different" She said as I turned away and straight into a guy.
"Ugh, get out of my way" I grumbled as he hissed at me.
"Says the one who walked into me" He complained handing me a jug.
"What is it?" I asked.
"Just drink it, grumpy" He laughed.
Was I stupid now? Should I have just drunk something a stranger had given to me? Usually I wouldn't have but I was dead now, right? I couldn't possibly die from whatever it was, could I?
I took a slurp. It tasted like nothing I'd had before and it was total bliss.
"Blood is good when you don't see who you're taking it from"
I looked up at him now and almost staggered backwards. His eyes were an unusual and bright shade of brown, he was tall and he had short light brown hair. He didn't look like a monster but he had just got me to drink blood without even realising.
"Do you want to go feed tonight? I know this cute little place where the blood doesn't have a face" He smiled.
I nodded. It sounded like a nice idea to me. "Food without faces, sure" I smiled back.
