When I reached the end of the stairs I was happy to see Lestat waiting for me, dressed in an exquisite  black suit with gold undercoat. His long, blonde hair was tied up neatly behind his head and he had a smile on his face. He slowly approached me with his hand behind his back. 

"Good evening my love, sleep well?"

"Yes handsome" I replied flirting with him as both himself and the other three men were stunning. He chuckled 

"Good I'm glad my beautiful queen you look stunning"

"Thank you so do you". He chuckled once again and put his hand out and I took it without hesitation as he had swept me off my feet with his charm since he arrived. He also took his hand out from behind his back and presented me with a beautiful blue orchid. I was stunned. He then delicately placed it in my hair behind my ear and I blushed. He kissed my cheek and lead me out to the porch where I gathered the others were waiting. I was right as I could see my godfather fixing up his camera equipment and lights with five camera's ready to use on a table in front of him. I could see Micky standing beside him and Marius laying back on a fancy long red couch with both Armand and Louis behind him. All looking extremely handsome like Lestat but all different. Armand was dressed in a fine, navy suit with his long dark hair flowing down behind his shoulders while Louis was wearing a fine, coal, black suit with his brown hair kept neatly back in a ponytail in the same way when I met him. Meanwhile Marius was display elegantly on his back with his blonde hair combed back behind his ears and wearing a red suit which suited him. Behind them was the beautiful limestone, white pillars and trees. Lestat then moved to join the others and I noticed that they all looked content and happy like old friends should be. Bruce took a couple more shots while I fixed his work space as he had stupidly forgotten to set up the modem that connects all the camera's to both his laptop and storage drive so if the camera suddenly fails or crashes the pictures won't be lost. He then mused 

"Now where on earth is my god child?" making them laugh

"Right behind you" Lestat smirked causing Bruce to turn around like someone had just shot him in the foot. 

"Hazel what are you at?"

"Simple saving you from a mental breakdown" I smirked which the guys laughed at

"Now why would he have a mental breakdown my darling?" Armand asked 

"Simple again Armand have you ever had a situation where you have lost an amazing photo simply because you maybe hit the wrong button on the camera or the camera crashed?"

"No then again I'm not much of a photographer sweetie"

"You don't need to be a professional photograph to have this happen to you and let me telling you you feel like kicking yourself in the gut when it happens"

"Well then how do we make sure it doesn't happen?" Louis asked smiling leaning over the couch

"a this is where this black box comes in handy gentlemen that my godfather forgot to set up" "This black box saves the picture that the camera takes not only to itself but to both of our laptops on this table". That made all the guys look interested 

"Interesting" Marius mused "Now are you going to come and join us or what?"

"Yep" I hopped over the many wires scattered around the couch and joined them. I sat down on the couch but not for long as Marius pulled me against him. Bruce started shooting. Over the course of the night we did many photos and I not took pictures with all of them at once but also singly. Marius and I took a striking one with me laying against the wall and him leaning against it and looking deep into my eyes while Armand and I did one with him sitting on the couch and me behind him with my hand on his shoulder. Lestat and I did an amazing on of both of us leaning against the wall with me in between his legs and looking out at the view. Finally Louis and I did one of me sitting on the ledge and Louis standing between my legs. They were just my favorite shots of them singly. However as I was about to jump down off the ledge I suddenly lost my footing and began to fall back. 

    I honestly thought I was a goner. Suddenly Louis grabbed my arm and as if I weighed nothing threw me in the air, catching me and kneeling down on the floor with me in his arms. Everyone gathered around us concerned as I tried to control myself from panicking as I was so scared. 

"Well done my boy" Marius said clapping Louis on the shoulder looking down at me with relief and concern. 

"are you okay my darling?" Lestat soothed rubbing my cheek 

"Yes" I breathed shakily. I tried to sit up but was very dizzy. 

"Easy sweetheart" Louis said gently holding onto me to keep me steady while Lestat checked me over to make I wasn't hurt. Thankfully I wasn't. I could see my godfather being comforted by Armand and Marius then walked over to him. 

"She's okay Louis got her" he said hugging my godfather to which they both sighed with relieve. Both Micky and Armand then approached. 

"are you alright my love?" Armand said kissing my forehead. 

"Yes just a little shaken" I answered as Micky hugged me. Bruce then approached and hugged Louis. 

"Thank you I don't know how to repay you"

"No you don't need to me" "I would not hesitate to do it again none of us would". Bruce of course then turned to me and hugged me closely. 

"Are you okay?"

"Yes" I answered 

"Thank god". Marius then stepped forward, 

"Come I'm sure you are all hungry especially after Hazel's near death experience". Everyone chuckled and followed Marius to the dining room. I stayed back for a bit to catch up with Louis and to thank him personally for saving me. While the others went ahead, they gladly gave us some space. 

"I wanted to thank you for saving me really" I said as he took a hold of my hand 

"Hazel there really is no need as like I told Bruce I would do it again and again for you as you are so stunning". He then stepped in front of me and placed his hands around my waist and kissed me. Fireworks sparked in my head and heart as it was so good. He was a truly amazing kisser and person and I couldn't help but kiss back. It felt amazing. He then pulled back. 

"That was the most amazing kiss, by far the best kiss I have ever shared with a women" I blushed to which he chuckled at lead us back to the others. 

   When we got back everyone was seated like the night before at the table so Louis and I took our spots. 

"Hope you had a nice chat" Marius chuckled along with Louis and the others. 

"Of course it is always a nice chat when shared with a beautiful women" Louis replied making my heart jump to which they chuckled.  The dinner was once again amazing and we talked like last night.  We the made our way up to the library. We then sat around and talked. Bruce then came in with a folder. 

"Here you go guys" he says sitting down with his wine glass and handing Lestat the folder. They gather around as Lestat goes through the photos of all the famous shots Bruce has done over the years. Photos of famous rockstars to famous models. They then turned to a photo and stopped dead. They looked at the photo and then at me and back to the photo. Bruce smiled as I got up to see what exactly had them so stunned. 

  My heart then swelled as they were looking at a striking picture and the women in that striking picture was my mum. She was so beautiful. My heart arched as I missed her and anger flowed through my veins at what the person had done to her and got away with it. I wanted for that person to pay and know how much they destroyed my family. I could feel my fists clench and took a deep breath to prevent my anger from boiling over. 

"Is that....?" Armand asked looking at me and back at the photo.

"That's Hazel's mum Brooke" 

"You look so like her" Marius said softly noticing my anger. 

"Thank you" I whispered walking over to the window and looking out, thinking about my mum. 

"How come she lives with her aunt or hasn't mentioned her mum once?" Louis whispered to Bruce trying not to upset me further. Making my fist clench once again. As no one had the right to take my mother away from us and a mother away from her children especially when one was just three weeks old. 

"My mum was murdered when my brother was only three weeks old" I whispered not turning around. I could hear their breath hitch in shock "And her killer was never caught and to make matters worse my brother was in the room when she was killed" "There is no way that her killer did not know that he was there thankfully he wasn't harmed but what kind of monster kills a mother in front of her child"

"I know pet" Bruce sighs placing a hand on my shoulder 

"Nathan doesn't know her, he has no memories of her" "I'm at least thankful that I have memories"

"I know one day we will find out" "We won't give up". 

"Come here pet" Armand asked and I went to him, hugging him close. I couldn't believe that I had told them as I had hardly told anyone about my mum partially because it was too painful to touch on and often I didn't trust them enough to tell them. 

"You look so like her and I'm sorry that happened pet?"

"Thank you" 

"He's right Hazel you do look the spitting image of your mum" Bruce smiled "And Nathan has her personality"

"Yeah"

"Does he?" Marius asked to which I nodded as Nathan was so like our mum. he has a heart of gold. 

"Does he do modelling?" 

"No he has no interest in it" "He is interested in sports and girls even though I have pointed out that if he was a model, girls would flock to him". Lestat then sighed and turned to me. 

"Is it okay if I asked what exactly happened?"

"No it's fine". I felt no reason to hide it. "My mum was murdered like I said when Nath was 3 weeks old which was in 1999" "It was on the mid-term break during February" "They estimate she was killed between 9:20 and 10 at night and the next morning my mum's next door neighbor discovered the body and rescued Nathan and me" "We were removed from the house and taken to Bruce's" "My mum had been stabbed at least forty times to which they concluded that she knew the killer and it was a crime of passion" "Michelle then adopted us soon after" "The killer is still out there and is getting away with this". Louis hugged me 

"Did they see anyone flee the scene or was your mum involved with anyone?"

"She's wasn't involved with anyone at the time but a witness said she saw a man in his early thirties jump the back wall but due to the darkness they couldn't give a detailed description of the person". Marius then hugged me. 

"We will find out who did this to your mum". I was shocked as why would they want to get involved. Marius then turned to Bruce. 

"Do you have the number of the main detective on the case?"

"Yes" Bruce then went through his phone and wrote down a number before handing it to Marius. What the future held I don't know.
