I woke up to find Leo playing with a strand of my hair, I rubbed my eyes and sat up. ''Morning'' he grinned and bowed,

I smiled and said ''hey''. I felt someone kick my seat, so I reluctantly turned to face Piper, she was looking at me like an idiot, and she was smirking at me with her mischievous eyes. I sighed and rolled my eyes, but I gave her a grin she was never gonna let me forget what happened last night.

''Morning Piper, how are you holding up?'' I asked faking my politeness,

''good'' she muttered lowering her head in a sign of respect.

''Jason, are you ok?'' I asked, he just nodded and then bowed. I sighed and heard Collin call my name.

I got up, and walked to him. I was stopped several times by people,

but when I got there he bowed and said ''we only have about 4 more hours to go''

I grinned and nodded ''thank you''.

I was surprised when my phone buzzed, ''hello?'' I answered,

it was Mr G. ''Hello Arya tell the driver to stop at the next service, so that all of us can have breakfast'' he replied,

''ok'' I said then I ended the call. Mr G and the rest of the campers were right behind us. I told the drive and he nodded, then I turned to face the campers.

''Morning guys, can I have your attention please?'' I said and everyone went silent and looked at me. ''Good, we are going to stop at the next service so that we can have breakfast with the others. So when we arrive we will leave the bus in an orderly manner, Jupiter cabin first, then Neptune, Ceres, Vulcan, Venus and Apollo'' everyone cheered and clapped. I smiled and got back to my seat.

We arrived at the service about 15 minutes later, and after about 5 minutes, the other bus came. The cafe was open, but there were no costumers yet. So my group were to eat inside and the other was to eat outside. I had to 'persuade' the owner of the cafe to let us stay even if we weren't going to buy anything. We had enough food for everyone, Bacchus and Ceres cabins done a great job.

We loaded back onto the bus and soon we were on our way again. Just when we reached Manhattan, the weirdest thing happened, our bus driver fell asleep, and that’s what I thought anyway. There was no one driving the bus, and it was swerving in every direction. The whole bus erupted with screams, and curses. I leaped out and ran to the wheel, but I was tossed about.

''Collin!!'' I shouted, but he was also trying to get to the driver’s seat. Finally, he managed and took control of the bus, I breathed out in relief and stood up.

''What the hell happened?'' someone from Apollo cabin asked, I shrugged and went to the driver he seemed to be deep in sleep. That’s when it hit me...

''the war has already begun, Morpheus must have cast a spell...he is with the Titans'' I whispered.

Morpheus is the God of Dreams, if he is supporting the Titans....how many others are too. This is worse than I expected. ''Ok there is no time to lose, we need to get there now'' I proclaimed and Collin stepped on the gas. I was wondering about how to organise the cabins with the Greeks, but I need Minerva's help to do that.

What we saw was scarring, there was people on the roads and on the pavement...sleeping. There were cars on the road with sleeping drivers, we would have to move them to one side, and they could get hurt. I called Mr G and told him and Collin to park the buses so that we can scan for the Greek on foot. It was around 1 or 2 o'clock. We parked and got out, we gathered and me and Mr G started to count the number of campers.

Ok our number is not too bad, there were about 60 of us. I made them line up and then we started to march around. We searched for about half an hour then, that's when we saw them, they were all outside the Empire State building.
