Chapter 1: And Lady Gaga is Crazy

Derek 

He didn’t even know how fast he could move until he was standing up, staring at Luke in shock. “Bryn’s alive?”

“Yes, and she’s working for Hannah.  They’re plotting something.  I don’t know what.  And she has brothers.  Do you have any idea what that means?!” Luke exclaimed.

“That her dad hooked up with another woman?” Silena suggested.

“No!  The way she said it, it sounded like they were her full-blooded brothers which-”

“Means her mother is still alive.  I never asked Bryn about her mother and since she never told me, I figured she was dead.  Do you know her name?” Derek inquired.

“No, she never told me… she just told how it all happened.  Listen, that’s not all.  She’s going after someone named Hallie as well.  Does that name ring a bell with either of you?”

Silena shook her head, but Derek felt the color draining out of his face.  Bryn had said not to say anything about the girl he’d been dreaming about.  But now she was working for Hannah?  Should he still trust her?

“No idea,” Derek lied, cursing inwardly at himself.  It was too late to back out now though.

“I think the girl is powerful, maybe a kid of the Big Three.  We need to find Chiron now and tell him what’s going on!” Luke declared, already running out of the Big House to find the centaur who was most likely supervising the archery area.  Derek and Silena fell into step beside him; he couldn’t believe it.  Not only was his best friend alive, but she was working for Hannah.  Why would she do that?  How could she do it?

“Chiron!” Luke shouted, skidding to a stop.  Derek and Silena halted abruptly, trying not to crash into him.

“What is it my boy?” the centaur questioned, appearing worried.

“Bryn’s alive,” Derek said.

“She’s working for Hannah,” Silena added.

“And she has brothers,” Derek finished.

Chiron was taken aback. “How on earth did you three find this out?”

“I had a dream.  They’re on a boat.  Bryn is with Hannah and a guy named Ryan London.”

“I hate that jerk,” Silena grumbled.

“That’s impossible,” Chiron replied.

“It’s not!  I saw it!  We need to find her brothers and we need to find this girl named Hallie!  Bryn is going after them for some reason,” Luke remarked.

“No, if Bryn was alive, it’s impossible that she would be on a boat, don’t you think?  You had such a difficult time just getting her onto the cruise ship that you used to sail to Milos, remember?  Miss Winchester would not get on a cruise ship again.  I want to warn all three of you that Hannah will try to manipulate your minds by planting false images in your heads.  Be wary and don’t believe it.”

“Chiron, we have to check it out.  What if Luke is right?  What if Bryn does have brothers?  If she gets them to side with her, that means we’ll be fighting against three children of Zeus.  We’re going to be screwed!” Derek argued.

“My answer is no.  I cannot risk you three going on another quest and not returning.  I am sorry, but that is my final answer.  If she does in fact have brothers and they decide to join her, we will work something out.  Out of curiosity, do you even know her brothers’ names?”

The demigods fell silent.  They had no clue.

Silena snapped her fingers. “Derek, we need to call Camp Jupiter.”

“Why?” Luke asked.

“Bryn told Cora Valdez that she would contact them if she got back to camp.  Since we don’t know what in Poseidon’s name she’s doing right now, we have to contact her instead.  I have a suspicion right now and I just want to see if she can confirm it.  Come on!” Silena grabbed Derek’s hand, racing off to the beach.  Luke scrambled after them.  Chiron tried to stop them but they were on a roll.  The trio reached the water; Silena created a fine mist spray, perfect for an Iris-Message.  Luke tossed a drachma in and requested for Cora Valdez at Camp Jupiter.  Two seconds later, the praetor of New Rome materialized in the mist before them along with a shrimpy blonde guy who Derek immediately recognized as Antony.

“Let me do the talking,” Silena whispered.  The boys nodded.  She then hollered, “Cora!”

The Roman whipped around.  Her mouth fell open. “Silena Jackson!  Derek Michaels!” Her eyes fell on Luke. “You must be Luke Jackson.”

“That would be me.”

“So you do exist,” Antony commented.

“Shut up and go cut up some stuffed animals,” Silena snapped. “Anyways, Cora, this is going to sound completely out of the blue, but what are Brady and Bradley’s last name?”

“Winchester.  Why?  And where is Bryn?”

“She’s-” Luke began, obviously about to explain everything.

“Dead,” Silena finished, cutting him off. “She was killed by Hannah…”

“I’m very sorry to hear that,” Cora said sincerely.

“We are too… um, where are Brady and Bradley now?  We need to speak with them.  It’s urgent.”

“Those two?  Cora sent them off to be disciplined by Lupa, the She-Wolf.  In my opinion they should’ve cleaned the entire city and camp.  Much more effective but nooooo, they had to go to Lupa,” Antony griped.

“She will put them in their place.  I’m sorry but you cannot speak with them until they return.  Why is it so important that you do so?” Cora replied.

“Someone is going after them and it’s a person on Hannah’s side.  We need to get to them before they do.  I have a feeling that this person will be able to convince them to join Hannah’s side and the only chance we have to persuade them to stay on our side is to have the three of us talk to them because we knew their sister.”

“Their sister?” Antony scrunched up his face.

“I don’t know why I never made the connection before, but Bryn is… was Brady and Bradley’s older sister.  I mean, they have the same facial structure, the same eye shape, the same color hair, and how can we forget that they have the same freaking accent!”

“Well if you’re related, that typically happens,” Luke pointed out.

Silena glared at him. “No kidding, Sherlock, but then again, that’s what I’m saying.  I’m positive they’re Bryn’s siblings.  Cora, I know they’re being punished, but we need to talk to them.  Where are they?”

The praetor stayed silent, conflicting emotions flickering across her face before finally, “As Antony said, they’re with Lupa, in Sonoma Valley, California.  Do you have means of getting there?”

“We’ll have something.  Um, our counselor doesn’t really know that we’re doing this.”

“Yes I do,” Chiron stated, walking up behind them. “Hello Cora, Antony.  I have a mode of transportation for them so do not worry.”

“Hello Chiron,” Cora greeted with a respectful head nod. “Good.  Thank you for that.  I will contact Lupa, and tell her to expect some Greek guests.  I suggest you get going.  Take care, all of you, try to stay alive, and I’m very sorry for your loss.”

Thank you, and we’ll try to stay alive.  We will contact you again if anything new develops and if we can get to Brady and Bradley before Hannah’s person does.  Bye Cora!” Silena waved her hand through the mist and cut off the connection.  The trio turned around to talk to Chiron.

“It has come to my attention that you may be right about Brady and Bradley Winchester after listening to your conversation.  I’ve thought for many years that Bryn’s mother had passed, but with everything going on, it may not be such a far-fetched idea that she’s alive.  Plus, I know you three will leave whether I let you or not.  Come.  I will get you your mode of transportation.  It’s a few friends who owe me favors.” The group headed over to the Big House.  The centaur made a quick phone call and patiently waited for a few minutes.  A knock on the door about three minutes later surprised the demigods.  Chiron walked over and answered the door.  Three centaurs stood there.  One wore googly eye sunglasses, one wore a hula skirt, and the other wore a muumuu.

“And people think Lady Gaga wears crazy stuff,” Luke muttered.  Silena and Derek stifled a laugh.

“Silena, Luke, Derek, these are my brethren,” Chiron said.

“Call us Ted, Fred, and Ned, in respective order from left to right,” the one that had to be Ted said.

“Nice to meet you.  I’ll ride with Ned,” Silena decided, quickly making her way over to the one in the muumuu.  She didn’t want to touch the bare backs of the other two.  Luke and Derek gave her jealous looks.  Luke took Fred (the one in the hula skirt), and Derek took Ted.

“Centaurs can travel so fast it’s almost as if they warp time.  You will be in Sonoma Valley within the hour.  Be careful, don’t get killed.  Lupa is a wolf, so she will not tolerate any weakness.  Good luck you three,” Chiron told them, backing away.

“Let’s get this party started!” Ted hollered, rearing up.  Derek held on for dear life as the centaurs started to gallop off towards California.
