I was chilling in my room reading one of those over dramatic gossip magazines that my aunt loves quietly when my mobile which was charging on my desk let out a piercing buzz that was Jukebox Hero by Foreigner which was my current ringtone. Like many young teens I happen to go through crazy phases of which one of them was ringtones. I looked at my caller ID which read Best Godfather in the World which left me in no doubt that it was my godfather Bruce Weber. I chuckled at his crazy humor and answered.

"Well hiya" I said

"Hey Pet listen I have had a request for a modelling shoot" "Are you interested?"

That was one of the good things about my godfather. He never forced me into modelling or doing shoots and always gave me an option if I didn't want to do that particular shoot or had something else on that I wanted to do despite the fact that I get paid. However I rarely refused shoots and loved working with many photographs but above all my godfather was my favorite to work with as I also had a great time working with him. Since I had still at least another month off before have to apply to any collage.

"Yes I'm interested, what is the shoot?"

"Well this shoot is very different from any I have done before". This made me more interested as Bruce had dealt with most shoots that photographers have. He is a veteran in the business having worked in it for more then 30 years.

"Hello Pet are you still interested?"

"Yeah, yeah" I replied snapping back into reality "Why's this so unusual?"

"Well last night I received a call from a gentlemen named Marius and he has requested that you be part of a shoot with him and his three male friends". That made me very weary as what did these men want me to do in this shoot with them.

"Pet... hello"

"Yeah sorry I'm just zoning out again, don't mind me" "Go ahead"

"Don't worry pet it's not going to be anything inappropriate as I won't let that happen and Marius has reassured me that it will be just simple portrait shots with a pretty lady". That comment made me blush as I didn't often get compliments.

"Are you still up for doing it?, the pay is better then I have ever seen for a young model"

"I'm still up for it" "Now how much are these men paying me?" I said out of curiosity as money was something I could use with collage hopefully coming up in the next couple of months.

"Well you are looking at getting over 500 per day and the shoot will last at three days if not four".

"Woah" I gasped

"Woah is right and I have no doubt that you are interested" Bruce said laughing down the phone.

"Yeah so what's the details?"

"Right well the meet me at my house tomorrow at 10:30 as we have a long trip just to get to this place"

"Wait where exactly are we going?"

"We are going to.......I'm not telling you"

"grr" I growled as Bruce loved to play games and toy with me just for fun "Tell me"

"Nope"

"Alright then well I won't go"

"Ok then I'll just find another model" "I'm sure there would be plenty of models interested in that kind of pay"

"Wait no I'll do it" I grumbled as there was no way I was going to pass up an offer like that and I also had nothing on for the rest of the week so was pretty much bored out of my mind. Since I knew Bruce was not going to tell me anything till tomorrow I would have been wasting my precious time trying to get information out of him.

"Alright great see you tomorrow pet"

"Alright night Brucey" I said trying to annoy him back for earlier.

"Night". He then hung up.

"I have one crazy Godfather" I muttered getting up to get ready for bed as it was late and a lot of time had passed while I was chatting on the phone with my godfather. I then packed my bags for the trip and then did my bathroom routine and climbed into bed completely unaware that my life was about to change.

The next morning I grudgingly showed up at half town at Bruce's house. My godfather's home was just around the corner from where my aunt lived so it didn't take long to reach. I knocked on the door and waited. It didn't take long to hear footsteps before a quick "Ouch" from behind the door. That's the thing Bruce's house looked nice and tidy from the outside but it was quite the opposite on the inside. It was often such a state that Bruce forgot where he left things that were often right in front of him just covered over with piles of paper and books among other things. It was no surprise for me to hear that ouch sound as he often hit his foot or other limbs off objects scattered around. I however was always careful when inside so hardly knocked any of my limbs off anything. Just then the red front door to Bruce's house opened and head popped out.

"Who's there?"

"It's me" I said waving my hand in front of him as sometimes he was oblivious to what was actually in front of him.

"O hey pet" he snapped back to reality pulling me in for a hug before grabbing my bags and throwing in the boot of his car. He then did a quick check of the messy house he called a home and locked it up before we both climbed into his car and headed off.

"Now will you tell me where we are going?"

"Well firstly we have to drive to collect Micky and then to Florida and we have to get over to an island" That surprised me as I certainly did not expect that answer of all things he could have told me. An island off Florida wow.

Micky Rich was my personal bodyguard. I know what your thinking why on earth would a young girl like her need a bodyguard but since I was an upcoming model, things were starting to get a little more crazy and sometimes even dangerous. When I was at a photoshoot not too long ago, a random stranger tried to grab me so much that security had to step in. It was after that that both Michelle and Bruce decided I needed a bodyguard. Luckily Bruce knew a very nice, big man called Micky who could be ruthless if the person he was protecting was in the line of fire so they hired him and now he travels everywhere with us for my safety and this shoot will be no different. We collected Micky at his apartment complex and headed to Florida.

"And how in fact are we reaching this island" I asked after a moment of silence.

"O they have a boat at the Florida pier waiting for us" "To take us over to the island"

"And how long are we staying on the island?"

"Three maybe four days depending on how long the shoot takes at least three days anyway"

"Right"

"Well you can sleep if you want as we have a long journey before we reach Florida" Damn right we did as the trip was at least 9 hours. I decided to do just that and was thankful that I didn't have to drive for that long. Throughout the journey I was in and out of sleep and watched DVD's on my laptop as well as looked out the window as it was now getting dark and I loved the night time. Since it was after six I knew we were close to hitting Florida. Which was right as we quickly turned off the highway and before long came to a deserted pier. I figured this was it. The place where the boat man would meet to take us to the island. Since no one had arrived yet I decided to get out and stretch my legs as they were getting cramps from being cooped up in a car for such a long journey. As I was walking along the bank I couldn't help but admire the many fish in the water and frogs jumping in and out. I have always loved nature especially the animals that inhabit it. It was cool to watch the animals do what they do best be themselves with not a care in the world if only humans could have such a life. I was snapped back to reality when I heard my name being called. I turned around to see my godfather standing next to a small speedboat with a young man standing next to him along with Micky standing next to him.

The man seemed to have a friendly demeanor and openly chatted with my uncle as I approached

"Lance this is my godchild Hazel and Hazel this is Lance" "He will be the one taking us to the island"

"Nice to meet you" I said shaking his hand

"Same here" "Well come on let's head to the island" Lance said happily.

Lance was not too tall at 5'8. He had the classic surfer look with blonde hair and blue eyes and was lanky. Micky and Bruce along with Lance climbed onto the boat before helping me on. Lance then took out life jackets and helped but mine on. I noticed all our bags were already on.

"Life jackets on, Marius's orders" Lance said before placing on his own and starting the boat. We then moved out of the pier and into the Atlantic Ocean. Lance began to speed it up when we were out of the harbor and into a clear area.

"Get ready to see an amazing location like nothing you have ever seen"

After what felt like only fifteen minutes of looking out at the deep ocean with the crescent moon glazing down on it. Lance snapped me back to reality

"Hey Hazel look ahead"

I looked up to see an amazing sight. A massive private island with lush green trees and a sandy beach. I figured the house where we were residing. It was quite a sight little did I know that this was not the only surprise coming for me
