******************************* PART 3 **********************************

"Hey. Everyone, this is my cousin, Nila Snow." Hannah addresses the room, which has now fallen into complete silence. I notice that everyone is in his or her late teens, early twenties. I smile embarrassingly, as I am now the centre of attention.

"Okay. Come and sit down here with me Nila, and Thierry will introduce you to everyone." Hannah says to me, steering me towards a beautiful blood red leather couch.

She sits down beside me, and Thierry gets up and walks towards people, introducing everyone to me.

"Nila, this is James Rasmussen and Poppy North." He points to a dark haired boy with silvery grey eyes, as he smiles at me, I find it impossible not to smile back.

The girl next to him has wavy red hair, green eyes and elfin features.

"Beside James and Poppy, is Poppy's twin brother Phil." Thierry continues.

Phil looks nothing like his twin, except for the green eyes. He is tall, athletic looking, and he has blonde hair, instead of red. He's also very attractive, though he's not as beautiful as James, but he's still attractive.

"Next, is Ash Redfern, James' cousin on his mother's side, and Mary- Lynnette Carter." Ash is really beautiful, more so than James. He has ash- blonde hair, and… his eyes seem to change colour, one minute they're green, the next blue, and then they're an amber colour. But that's impossible; nobody's eyes can change colours.

Ash seems to know what I'm thinking; because he winks and has a huge lazy grin plastered on his face.

Mary- Lynnette has dark wavy brown hair, and bright blue eyes. She's really pretty, and she frowns at Ash.

"Beside Ash and Mary-Lynnette, is Mary – Lynnette's younger brother Mark." Mark looks like his sister, the same dark hair, and bright blue eyes, the only two differences are that Mark's male, and he looks slightly younger than his sister.

"Next is Ash's older sister Rowan, and their younger sisters Kestrel and Jade." Rowan has longish brown hair with natural chestnut highlights, and she also has wise dark brown eyes.

Kestrel has long waist length hair that is the colour of old gold, and she has yellow eyes, a colour that I've never seen in eyes before.

Jade on the other hand, looks nothing like either of her two sisters or her brother Ash; she has hip length white- blonde hair, and silvery- green eyes, I've never seen eyes like hers either. All three girls, like their brother, are inhumanely beautiful.

"Next are Thea and Blaise Harman, they're cousins, and Thea's… boyfriend, Eric Ross." Thea has shoulder length yellow hair, and wise brown eyes. Blaise is her polar opposite; she has waist length black hair, hers is a few shades lighter than mine, like stopped smoke, and silvery grey eyes. Thea and Blaise looks a little like Hannah and me, with the colouring. Blaise also has a figure to stop traffic on a Freeway,; curves galore, and she wears clothes that emphasises each one. Both girls are beautiful.

Eric has sandy coloured hair and green eyes flecked with grey. He's very athletic looking, and also very attractive.

"Next in line, are Gillian Lennox and David Blackburn." Gillian is small and delicate looking; she has silvery white- blonde hair, cut to frame her small face, and violet eyes. Again, I've never seen eyes like that before. Yes, I'm definitely getting freaked out now.

David has dark hair and dark eyes to drown in. Yet again, another attractive male.

"Next are, Rashel Jordan and John Quinn, but please call him Quinn." Rashel has longish jet-black hair, a few shades lighter than mine, and cat green eyes. Quinn has the same jet-black hair as Rashel's, but he has black eyes instead of green. His eyes look like orbs of black ice, but he smiles.

"Next we have, Jez Redfern, a cousin of Ash, his sisters, and James, and her boyfriend Morgead Blackthorn." Jez has long wild curly red hair, like a flame, and eyes that are neither silver nor blue, but some colour in between.

Morgead has black hair, and emerald green eyes, again, a very beautiful male. Most of the males here are beautiful.

Both Jez and Morgead are dressed like bikers, covered shoulders to toes in black leather.   

"Then we have Delos Redfern, another cousin, and his girlfriend Maggie Neely."

Delos has dark hair and yellow eyes, like Kestrel. He's also beautiful.

Maggie has fox coloured hair and dark eyes.

"Sitting beside them, is Maggie's older brother Miles." Miles is the spitting image of his little sister only he's male. He's also extremely cute.

"Moving on to Raksha Keller, or Keller is what she prefers to be called, and Galen Drache." Keller has long waist length black hair, and silvery grey eyes.

Galen on the other hand has golden hair and golden- green eyes. The only time I've seen eyes like his, were on a leopard.

"Next are Nissa Johnson, Winfrith Arlin, Winnie for short, and Iliana Dominick- Harman." Nissa has minx hair, and dark eyes.

Winnie has curly red hair, and dancing green eyes, much like Poppy.

Iliana on the other hand, looks like an angel; she has silvery white- blonde hair, and violet eyes. She looks a tiny bit like Gillian, but more angelic, she seems to be so delicate that you wouldn't want to touch her for fear of breaking her.

"So now you know everyone here." Thierry finishes, breaking through my thoughts.

As soon as he says this, a girl with odd silvery brown hair and strange amber eyes, walks in through the doors.

"Oh, I almost forgot. This is Lupe Acevedo. Lupe this is Nila Snow, Hannah's cousin." He introduces us.

"Hi Nila." Lupe says with a smile.

"Hey." I reply back, shyly.

"That's a nice accent. Where are you from?" She asks curiously.

"Cairo." I reply.

"Really? You come from Egypt? Cool! You look like an Egyptian." She says getting excited.

"Yeah. Thanks." I reply, trying my best to keep the annoyance out of my voice. Hannah snickers at me, which earns her a look from everyone in the room.

The door opens again, and in walks Nilsson with his arms around a girl that looks exactly like Thierry.

"Oh, Nila, this is my twin sister Kali Descouedres. Kali, this is Hannah's cousin, Nila Snow." Thierry says.

So that's why she looks like Thierry then. I think to myself.

"Hi Nila." Kali says.

"Hi Kali." I reply.

"Nila? That's a beautiful name." She adds.

"Thank you. My dad is an archaeologist and is obsessed with Egypt, so when I was born he called me Nila after the River Nile." I reply softly.

"Did you know that there was an Egyptian princess called Nila?" Kali asks.

"I've heard different versions of the story. She was betrothed to Prince Horus, but she mysteriously disappeared the night before they were to marry. No one knows what happened to her." I reply.

"Some say she was murdered, but they never found the body. Others say that she ran away, but no one knows where she ran off to." Kali continues.

"Kali?" Thierry begins.

"Yes Thierry?" Kali replies, looking at her brother.

"Are you doing anything of extreme importance right now?" He continues.

"No. Why?" She answers.

"Would you be so kind as to give Nila the grand tour of the mansion?" He finishes.

"Sure thing. That is, if Nila wants the grand tour shown by me?" She asks, looking in my direction.

"Not at all. That is, if you don't mind?" I reply.

"I don't mind. Come on then, tour time." Kali says.

She turns around, goes up to Nilsson and gives him a quick peck on the lips, and then she whispers something in his ear.

She walks to the door, and then pauses, waiting for me to catch up.
