Emily walked over to the powder room mirror and sat down to think. Her mind kept going to Dracula and how she felt about him. Dracula was a widower with a daughter, who suffered a great tragedy and Emily couldn't help, but feel sorry for him, but she also felt romantically drawn to him. Was that wrong? Emily was grateful for Dracula for rescuing her and housing her in the manor, but was it ok to get romantically involved with someone who had recently lost their wife? Did Dracula feel romantically attracted to Emily the same way? Did vampires date and marry other types of monsters? What was the proper etiquette for monsters? Emily had a lot of questions running through her mind.
"I think Dracula is rather fond of you?" Said a female voice that came from within Emily's head.
Emily blinked her eyes in confusion. The voice wasn't her own thoughts, but someone else's.
"Be quiet, what are you trying to do? Get us evicted?" Asked a male voice from within Emily's head.
"Um is someone here?" Asked Emily.
"Now you've done it." Complained the male voice.
"She was going to find out out about us eventually, might as well introduce ourselves and make our presence known." Said the female voice.
"Fine. I'll go first." Said the male voice.
The next thing Emily knew her right eyeball popped out of it's socket and landed on the table and a green maggot with red lips and buck teeth pocked it's body out of the now empty eye socket! Emily stared at her reflection in shock. She hadn't felt any pain at all and she was able to see everything her dismembered eye could see, which was herself and the maggot in her empty eye stalk! Emily also took notice that her head looked empty.
"Hello my dear. My name is Maggot and I've been leaving in your head for years." Said Maggot revealing himself to be the male speaker.
"Um...hello. Is there someone else in there with you?" Said Emily.
"That would be me." Said a Black Widow Spider as it came up behind Maggot and revealed itself to be the female speaker.
"Hello there...and what's your name?" Asked Emily.
"You may call me Black Widow." Said Black Widow.
"So the two of you have been living in my body since I died?" Asked Emily.
"Close to when you died." Said Maggot.
"You've been a lovely home to us for years, then tonight you became a undead and started moving around." Said Black Widow.
"You're our mobile home." Joked Maggot.
"Is there anyone else living inside of me, I should know about?" Asked Emily as she offered her hand up for Maggot and Black Widow to climb onto and put the two of them on the table.
"Nope just the two of us." Said Black Widow.
"Do you want us to leave?" Asked Maggot.
"No it's fine, you're not hurting me or anything. I'm just adjusting to the whole undead thing and being in a manor with Dracula and other monsters." Said Emily as she picked up her eyeball and placed it back into her socket.
"You're also having romantic feelings for Dracula." Said Black Widow.
"How do you know that?" Asked Emily.
"We've seen the way he looks out you and we've seen the look on your face as you think of him." Said Black Widow.
"So...do I just tell him how I feel about him?" Asked Emily.
"That would be a start." Said Maggot.
There was a knock at the door and Emily went to go answer it to find a box at the door. Emily took the box into her room and opened the box to find a black gown with short sleeves, undergarments, and shoes. The clothes must have once belonged to Martha and Dracula had given them to her. Emily decided that she would bathe first before putting the clothes on.
Emily headed over to the bathroom and closed the door. She ran some water into the tub and began to remove her clothes. Emily was a bit nervous about seeing the body beneath the clothes and what kind of condition it was in. She took a deep breath and took a look of her naked body in the bathroom mirror and was pleasantly surprised by the sight. Emily's body was mainly intact, other then her right exposed rips, skeletal left arm, mostly bone right leg, hole in her left cheek on her face, and skeletal tip of her nose, everything else about Emily was still in fairly good condition. Emily did a few circles in the mirror to get a better look and even removed one of her eyeballs to better examine herself. All appeared to be well. Feeling satisfied Emily got into the tub and began to soak and relax. Emily could still feel the warmth of the water to a degree and the odd sensation of water going inside her body through the hole around her right ribs. She rested and enjoyed herself for a bit, till she finally felt she was clean. Emily stood up in the tub and proceeded to tip over to the side a little to spill the water that was in her body out before she pulled the plug and began drying off with a towel.
Emily fished drying off and then she put on the clothes that had been delivered to her room and looked at herself in the mirror. She looked fairly stunning in the black outfit and it was a nice change from the wedding dress. Emily was happy with the look and she felt very relaxed. She went out of the bathroom and showed her new outfit to Maggot and Black Widow.
"You look marvelous." Said Maggot.
"Like a proper lady of the manor." Said Black Widow.
"Thank you both." Said Emily as she let her hand down for the two to crawl onto.
Emily removed her right eyeball and let the tiny two crawl into her head, before putting the eyeball back in. The undead life was strange, but Emily had a feeling she was going to enjoy it.
To be continued.
