Because I enjoyed the reviews so much from the last chapter (specifically jennasbluecookies 'I'm already terrified' comment), you get a new one :)

Chapter 2: Couples Who Slay Together Stay Together

Luke wasn't at breakfast. It went unnoticed by everyone, even Silena, although she seemed rather preoccupied by something. Derek was half asleep in his food. Bryn sat by herself at the Zeus table, not wanting conversation, but that changed when two people sat beside her.

"Hello big sister," the twins greeted. A smile broke out onto her face as she smiled at her brothers.

"Hey you two," she said. "How was the trip?"

"Fine. Hallie told us to tell you hi. She went straight to the Hades cabin to take a nap," Bradley explained.

"I don't blame her. I hate mornings too."

"How are you doing?" Brady queried.

"I'm okay."

"Did you get any more sleep after we talked to you last night?" Bradley prodded.

"No, but it's not like that's anything new. I never slept before Tartarus and I don't sleep now."

"That doesn't help our worry about you."

"Not at all."

"I'm fine you two. It's nothing I can't handle," she assured.

"Where's your boyfriend?" Brady asked.

"Still sleeping. I'd go wake him up but after last night, I'd rather avoid him. Give him space."

"We'll talk to him," Bradley offered.

"He can't break up with us if he gets mad at us," Brady joked. It made Bryn smile.

"Tread carefully. He's still really bad off from Tartarus despite what he says. He talks in his sleep a lot. That's the only reason I have some inkling about what his dreams are about."

"We'll see you soon. Sword-fighting challenge later?"

"Deal. Just don't let your egos get too wounded when I beat you."

"We're used to being beat by you," Bradley remarked in amusement. The twins got up and headed to the Poseidon cabin. Bryn headed to the Zeus cabin to relax before her first training session of the day. Chiron had been going easy on her, Silena, Luke, and Derek ever since Tartarus. The girls were handling it better than the guys, but not by much.

As Bryn approached her cabin, a foul stench assaulted her nose. It made her gag. Holding her nose, she searched the surrounding area for what was causing the smell. It didn't take her long to find it. On the beach were a dozen, dead Harpies. She didn't like the weird bird creatures but she didn't want them dead. Bryn dropped down next to one, trying to figure out what had happened to them.
