I woke up in time to see Alec almost getting us killed by a truck. "Hey, Alec, pull over," I said to him. He looked at me from the review mirror. He sighed and pulled over to the side of the road and gets out of the door. I got out of the door and when I got out of the car I stepped in mud, just my luck. Not my black chuck Taylors (converse)! I looked up to see Alec trying not to mask a smile. I rolled my eyes and looked at our surroundings. 'Always take in your surroundings' I remembered Demetri telling me once, 'it gives you an advantage.' I shook my head as if that would make the voice go away. I looked around and saw we were on the Grapevine highway (yes it's real!) overlooking a beautiful scene, the lights of Los Angeles are just as beautiful as New York. One thought crossed my mind 'how the hell did we get from New York to Los Angeles! I looked at Alec and noticed for the first time how exhausted he looked.
There was an awkward silence as I tried to figure out how he got us here. He broke the silence first, "Shadow travel, I didn't think it would work, apparently it did since we're here." I was impressed. He looked like he was about to pass out, so I chose to drive since everyone else was asleep. Before Alec fell asleep he gave me the directions to a place we could stay.705 Marshall Ave in downtown Anaheim.
I looked at the clock on the dash board, it was 7 am. I wonder what my cabins doing. Are they alright?
CHRISTIAN'S POV
As I walked into the pillivion I looked over at the Apollo table, out of habit. I noticed that Scarlet wasn't there. Where is she? I saw Susie look around nervously. She kept glancing at the Hades and Nyx tables. When she locked eyes with me she glared daggers at me.
After breakfast I walked everywhere that I thought she'd be. Nothing. I was getting worried, she'd never do this. I gave up after a while. If she left then, that's one less person I'd have to worry about. I knew I shouldn't be thinking this way about my girlfriend, but were in war and I let myself get side tracked. There was more than one reason I joined Demetri. What was it he said, everyone's replicable, even those you love? Somewhere deep down I knew that she wasn't. Why didn't I listen?

After reaching our destination, we decided we need a plan. While everyone contributed to the plan, my head just wasn't in it. I caught worried looks from all three of them from time to time. Pity, the worst emotion you want towards you, well along with hate, and such.
Two sons of Hades, just one has enough power but two? That's a lot of power. A daughter of Nyx and a daughter of Apollo. This seems to be a good team. "What do you think, scar?" a voice cut through my train of thought. Truth be told I had no idea what was going on. Lilly seemed to see my confusion. "We were saying," She explained, "that we could invade the traitors camp at night, were most of our powers are the best. Then we try to get in and get enough info as we can. So basically that's our plan." I nodded, "when do we do this?" Alec smiled crazily, "tonight". I knew it was a crazy plan and deep down I knew it wouldn't work. So why didn't I listen to that little voice? Why?
