"Why should she get a quest", the girl named Clarisse interrupted, "She's not even a half blood". "But what happens to her may very well affect us all", Chiron replied, how can he keep so calm. "So we've sunk to the level of helping empousai", Clarisse said getting up, "Now we are helping the enemy". "For your information empousai and vampires are different", Melanie said getting up, "We are not some stupid, ridiculous being that only wants to bring destruction wherever they step their uneven feet". "But you both drink blood don't you", she retorted, raising her voice. "I'll have you know the vampires on TV are much more in line with our description", Melanie said, trying not to lunge, "Besides they serve Hecate, we only obey Demeter and Poseidon". "That is of no con-". "Clarisse that is enough", Chiron said, shutting her up, "Ares may not be working alone whatever is controlling him must be stopped this can easily become a serious problem for everyone else".

She sat down clearly unhappy. "Would someone please find-", he started but stopped when we, more specifically Nico, Melanie and I, were surrounded by a green mist. I was very alarmed but the others took this like another night by the campfire. Then I heard or thought or felt a voice, I'm not sure.

You wish to save a man that has abandoned you. Another wishes to find her fallen father. Yet the last does not see what he gains at all.

Beware for your division would spell the end for all that we know. Night would be eternally embedded in us. For you must unite yourselves and see to our enemy's fall.

It ended, I realized I'd closed my eyes, when did I close them. I looked up and saw a red haired girl with the green stuff completely surrounding her. After it dissipated she slumped about to fall. Some campers caught her in time.

"Rachel are you ok", Hazel asked rushing to her side, "I'll never get used to that". The girl.. Rachel smiled, "I'm ok just wish I'd get a heads up ones in a while". "Then that's settled you have to figure out where Ares is but I suspect he's in Manhattan", Chiron said clapping his hands together, "You all have to find a way to get there". "I have an idea", Melanie said. I exchanged a look with Nico, for once we agree, This is going to be a long trip.
