Heroes of Hogwarts: Being Brave is Believing in Yourself

Chapter 32

In California(classified location):
Hylla looked up through her haze of pain.

"Who are you?" She asked.

"A witch," the girl said sarcastically.

"Really, Gina?" The boy asked from the back of the room.

"Wow, Noah, good job not saying our names," Gina replied.

Noah huffed.

"Anyway..." Gina said sweetly. "Queen Hylla dear, would you mind awfully much telling us Camp Jupiter and Camp Half-Blood's location?"

Hylla tasted blood. "Why?"

"Because I don't want to be a free lance demigod anymore. Why do you think?" Gina said and slapped Hylla. This girl was endlessly sarcastic.

"Leave me alone!" Hylla said.

"No thanks!" Gina said brightly.

"Gina..." Noah started.

"Noah! You're seriously going to take the side of our prisoner?!" Gina said, feigning shock.

"Wouldn't be the first time you killed one." Noah sighed.

Gina snarled.

Hylla was completely confused. "Killed one what?"

She could feel Gina smiling without even opening her eyes. "Amazon queen of course."

Hylla's eyes flew open. "What?!"

Gina grinned in the dim light. "I knew the location of the Amazon headquarters! But you moved."

Hylla shrugged weakly. "I had enough security breaches."

Gina glared at her. "Enough idle chitchat! You were on the way to Camp Jupiter, don't even try to hide it! You talked of Reyna in your sleep!"

Hylla frowned. "You were stalking me?"

Gina opened her mouth, but Noah answered for her.

"Pretty much, yes."

Gina glanced in his direction. Then she yanked Hylla's hair back. "Ow!" She said.

"Where is Camp Jupiter located?!" Gina shrieked.

Hylla set her jaw. "You'll have to kill me to get it!"

Noah laughed. Gina smiled. "That's really not a problem."

Hylla was even more confused than before. "What?"

"You act like we're stupid, Hylla. Well, we're not. We know what makes you break. We've made contact with your sister."

Hylla's heart pounded against her ribs. "How? When? Where? Why?"

Noah finally came into the light. He had dark hair, muted green eyes, and a few freckles. "She Iris-messaged you last night."

"And...." Hylla asked.

"And she adopted a unicorn, has a boyfriend named Bob, the usual Christmas card happy stuff." Gina said as she studied her nails.

"Ha ha." Hylla said. "How do you stand her?" She asked Noah.

He shrugged and stalked out of the room. The sun was slowly coming up. It's light cast a glow around the room, which Hylla noticed was painted lavender.
