Lily, 11 yrs old is a little too old to be an apprentice, so I changed it to 10. Is that fine?

Another Collins

Selena was hunting in the forest surrounding the Wing Circle when she came across a small blonde girl. "Brook? What are you doing here? I thought I told you to--" Selena stopped. This was not Brook, of course it wasn't. Brook had bright green eyes, but this girl had electric blue eyes. This girl was smaller, younger, and had longer hair. But they looked so similar... the platinum blonde hair, tied in pigtails, the shape of their faces, their slim builds- it was all the same. But why would a miniature, blue-eyes version of her apprentice be here? Then it hit her- it was her sister. Of course it was, why didn't she see it? Selena put down her bow and her quiver of arrows. "Hi," she said gently, looking at her.
The girl looked up at her, expression indignant. "I'm not Brook. I'm Kylie. Actually, Kylan Rose, but I hate that name," she added, frowning.
>Like Bryn,< Selena thought. "Kylie Collins, right? Sister of Brooklyn Collins, daughter of Zeus?"
Kylie's eyes widened. "How did you know that?"
Selena didn't answer, but stood up, slung her quiver of arrows and bow across her back, and extended a slender, elegant hand down to the girl. "Come. I'll take you to the camp."

Selena emerged through the low entrance to the camp, and straightened her back. "Bryn! Jace! The rest of you!" she called to the campers. Bryn was at her side in an instant, peering at Kylie. Selena whispered in her ear, and Bryn's right eyebrow lifted. "Another Collins? What, are they multiplying or something?" She called Brook and Ivy over, who squealed and ran over to hug their kin.
Jace had the same reaction. "They must be breeding or something," he muttered. Selena flicked her gaze over at him, and felt her cheeks redden. She had no idea why.
"Brook," Bryn was saying. "Take her to the Zeus cabin. Alright? Good."
