Breathing is so natural so why does it feel so new? I open my eyes feeling my lunges burn and I gasp for air, my eyes glance around trying to find Percy. My fingers and feet tingle as the warm sensation leaves my body. Percy helps me to my feet with a smile on his face. Oh his smile was so warm and soft, everything about him was welcoming. 

"Percy" I smile and suddenly feel so sore and stiff. I kinda lean on him still trying to catch up with my breath. 

He wraps his arms around me and hugs me "I'm so glad your okay" 

"How did I get out?" I ask him keeping my arms his neck. 

He breaths heavy for a second "Hephaestus, he showed up." He pulls away to look at me and smiles. 

I smile weakly "Did you tell him hi for me?" 

Percy found that funny and laughed "Something like that"

*Back at the dinner* 

It took a while but when we got back they still sat there in the same spots. Grover looked at the door seeing us and his face lit up. I put his shield in front of him "Where's our ride?" Percy asks beside me. 

He laughs and stand up walking outside. "Alright" He stops behind a semi truck "Here it is" He opens the back of the truck. 

"Really?" Percy asks annoyed. 

"Get in or don't I really don't care" Ares looks at me "In a few hours this truck is pulling into the lotus casino in Vegas-" 

"Hermes hangs out there" I finish his sentence putting the pieces together.

"Exactly." He throws a bag to Percy "Clothes, cash, drachmas to summon Hermes. I would wish you luck but what good would it do you" He looks at me. 

"We aren't going to fail." Percy steps closer to Ares "And I'm getting pretty tired of hearing you say it, you think you know who I am but you don't and if your not careful your going to find out."

"Percy" I see Grover stand next to him "Lets just go" 

They two boys walk to the truck and I follow getting in right behind them. The doors shut and I sit down on the floor, exhausted. The semi starts moving and I close my eyes already dozing off. "Alia?" Percy's voice echos in my head, he asks me concerned. "Alia!" He repeats everything sounding so clear. "Alia, what's wrong?" 

I suddenly jump up seeing Percy sit in front of me scared. "Percy?" I ask him and look around, we were still in the crowded truck. 

He looks at me with sadness written all on his face. "Why are you crying?"

I look at him confused and rub my face feeling wet tears down my cheek. "I don- I wasn't" 

"You were screaming" Grover cuts in watching me closely. 

I think for a second confused "No I wasn't" I clear my throat, it suddenly feeling dry. 

"you were" Percy watched me. "Were you having a nightmare?" 

I shake my head "No, I'm fine." After like ten minutes we find a way to get out of the truck, using the animals and making a escape. The animals are scattered around the busy intersection. "Um Grover, are yo sure this is safe?" I look at him confused from the side walk. 

He looks at me and smiles "Yes I gave them a satyr's blessing, they can make it to the woods safely."

"No I mean for the people" I bring up, apparently the thought hadn't even crossed his mind.
