Chapter 10: We Just Dropped In
Luke
Everything was black. The only thing Luke could feel was the rush of an invisible wind and Bryn's hand gripping his hand as if she would never let go. How much time passed, he didn't know, but he was pretty sure that they were in the shadow-world longer than they were supposed to be.
All of a sudden, Luke was dropped unceremoniously onto a carpeted floor. The Helm of Darkness flew off of Bryn's head, bouncing halfway across the room. Immediately he looked at his girlfriend who was on her hands and knees, head drooped down.
"Bryn? You okay?" He asked, placing his hand on her back.
"I-I don't know what happened. I thought of home but all it did... nothing happened," she stammered, practically falling over onto her hip as she propped herself up on arm so she could look at him.
"Hey, it's okay. We got out of it and we're in the real world now. Where are we?" Luke glanced around. The building itself seemed familiar but the room didn't.
"My bedroom in London. I thought it would be good for us to be somewhere familiar. Besides, I really wanted to see my mum and dad."
"And I'm sure they would love to see you. Rest for a moment before we go anywhere. You look pale."
"I'll be okay. I've shadow-travelled before but never when I was in control. It just unnerved me not having the Helm listen to me... come on, let's see if my parents are home." Bryn pushed herself up. Luke got up with her, following her downstairs. They heard some movement in the kitchen which they went to investigate. They discovered Mrs. Winchester, grabbing something from a cabinet. She must've just come home from work because she was still in her work clothes.
"Hi mum," Bryn said. Mrs. Winchester world around, pointing a gun at the two demigods. Instinctively, Luke stepped in front of Bryn.

"Do you carry one with you everywhere you go or something?" Luke queried when Mrs. Winchester lowered her weapon.
"Bryn! Luke! Oh my gods when did you get here?!" she exclaimed, rushing over to hug her daughter and Luke.
"We literally just got here. We're on a quest," Bryn explained.
"Yeah, we decided to drop in," Luke said. His girlfriend looked up at him, grinning at his pun.
"How did you get here? Are your brothers with you? What about Derek, Silena, and Hallie?"
"That's a little complicated to explain... long story short, someone stole father's weapon along with Poseidon and Hades'. We just got Hades' Helm of Darkness. Silena and Derek are hopefully at camp so Silena can get treated for her snake bite. Hallie shadow-travelled the twins out of the place but we have no idea where they ended up. I used the Helm of Darkness to transport me and Luke over here."
