Dan's place...California

I woke to a knock on the door. It wasn't Dan though. The voice was unfamiliar. It was female. Could it be his wife? But he said the rest are only coming back next week.

"Hello Kate," the voice said. It was soft and gentle. I sat up to see who it is. The woman was short with black wild hair, brown eyes and dark skin. She was very beautiful.
She must be the help of the house..The one Dan mentioned earlier.

"I'm Jacky," she introduced herself.

"Hi," I replied. Not sure how to react to her. I noticed a tray of food in her hands. A plate of bacon and eggs stuffed in a croissant with lettuce too. Next to the plate was coffee or hot chocolate, I couldn't really tell. Yumm. I couldn't wait to eat that!

"Would you like to eat here or would you like to join your father and I in the dining room?" Jacky asked.

Jacky seemed sweet and kind. I look forward to getting to know her.

"I don't mind eating with you."

"Okay good. Why don't you go get washed and I'll clean up here and unpack your bags.

"Alright."

I got out of bed and dragged myself to my bathroom. I turned on the shower to let the water get warm and stripped down to nothing. When the shower was ready, I stepped in and stood under the water and let it stab my back. The water felt nice and warm against my body.
I looked at my arms and noticed that I have not new scars from last night and my hips were clear of raw needle stabs. Does this mean I hadn't had a nightmare? Well I don't remember it.

This is nice. It is a good feeling knowing that I slept peacefully undisturbed and clear of nightmares.

When I was done showering. I stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around my body and hair. When I entered my room again, Jackywas sitting on my already made bed.

"You were gone a while. An hour to be exact," she smiled innocently at me.

"I'm s-sorry," I stuttered.

"No no. Don't be. It gave me time to get your room ready quicker,' she laughed of my 'sorry'

"Oh okay."

"Well I'll wait for you downstairs with your father." And with that. She left the room with my tray of food. I'm pretty sure it's cold now. It had an hour to cool down after all.

I dried up and opened my cupboard. There wasn't much to wear. Just enough to last five days. I whipped outmy black Black Veiled Brides shirt and marron skinny jeans. After putting those on, I reached down to grab the one of two shoes I had, my black combats. It was cold outside so I definitely needed my black hoody and beanie.

I looked at myself in the mirror and walked out to have breakfast with my...'family'

While walking down stairs I took my time examining the many family photos on the wall. From what I can see. Dan has a wife who is either heavily pregnant, a son and a daughter, or a wife, a child no more than a year old, a son and a daughter. Wow. This family is..is nothing like I have ever seen.

Closer to the bottom of the stairs, there was a photo that stood out to me the most. It strangely felt familiar. I raked my brain to try figure out where I have seen it. Just as I was about to figure it out, Dan came.

"Come on Kat. Breakfast is getting cold."

With a sigh and a low "ok" I followed him to the table. That picture is still bothering me.

Who do you guys the picture is of. And where does she remember it from? XD
