Grover had pulled on a cap and his fake feet to make himself look human. "we're in Manhattan."
Faye nodded. Argus had dropped them off at the Greyhound station. Faye unloaded her bag and got the others bags too before going inside to get their tickets. A few minutes later she nodded to Argus who also nodded and drove away. She gave tickets to everyone and looked around.
"Well this is Good!" Thalia said brightly. "25 miles and not a single monster!"
"It's bad luck to talk that way seaweed brain." Faye snapped irritably.
"remind me again.. why do you hate me?"
"..I don't hate you" Faye sighed
"Could of fooled me."
"Look...We're just not supposed to get along okay? Our parents are rivals."
"Why?"
Faye sighed. "How many reasons do you want? One time, my mom caught Poseidon with his girlfriend in Athena's temple, which is hugely disrespectful. Another time, Athena and Poseidon competed to be the patron god for the city of Athens. Your dad created some stupid saltwater spring for the gift. My mom created the olive tree. The people saw that her gift was better, so they named the city after her."
"They must really like olives."
"oh forget it!"

talica watched with a sorry expression, as she went to stand by Faye. "She's right, Thalia. We're sorry, but we're daughters of Athena, and she wouldn't like it if we got along."
Lumire watched this, slightly angry. Her face suddenly turned curious, "Does dad have a rival?" she asked, looking slightly worried.

Faye shrugged. "Not one of the main gods anyway." she sighed and boarded their bus which came, and sat at the back, Thalia and Grover right behind her. Thalia was scowling and Grover was looking around nervously like something was wrong and he was sniffing the air cautiously.

Talicia slipped between Grover and Faye, feeling more safe. "Don't be a worry wort, Grover." she said playfully, smiling lightly.
Lumire nodded at that, satified. She sat next to Thalia. "Aw, they're just picky. We can be friends." she said, a wide smile on her face.

Faye gasped suddenly and grabbed Thalia's knee. "look" she hissed "Kindly ones!"
Thalia looked up to see 3 old ladies board the bus and cringed, sinking down in her seat.
"Mrs Dodds.." Grover and Thalia moaned together fearfully.
Faye gulped. "the furies.. worst creatures of the underworld.. no problem.. we'll just slip out of the windows.."
"They don't open!" Grover moaned
"Ok.. we'll.. slip out of the back entrance" she looked around but couldn't find one.

Talicia's eyes narrowed slightly. She shivered, and looked around. "Faye...." she said, looking at her sister. "The train os moving." She quickly glanced back and forth, fear in her eyes. "M..maybe they won't notice us." she said, eyes wide with fear.
Lumire looked up, and slunk down in her seat. "Oh no....." she whispered, scared for once.

As the bus passed through the Lincoln tunnel, it went dark. And almost as if they're rehearsed it, all 3 ladies said in a monotone voice; "I need to use the restroom" and stood up.
"I've got it.. Thalia take my hat.." Faye mumbled.
"..what?"
"It's you they want. Turn invisible and go up the aisle, they won't see you and maybe you can get away."
"but you guys.."
"look there's an outside chance they won't notice us four. You're a daughter of the big three.. your scent must be over-powering"
"I can't just leave you."
"Don't worry about us" Grover insisted. "just go."

Lumire nodded quickly, leaning forward a little. "You must, Thalia, it's the only chance you'll have. We'll meet up with you later." Her eyes flickered to the three woman walking away, and she looked at Thalia. "You must." she said, her voice more urgent then before.
Talica nodded, too, her eyes cloing for half a second. "It's the only way to survive, for all of us to survive." she pointed out, knowing if they caught Thalia, they'd all be doomed.

Thalia groaned and put the hat on her head, instantly turning invisible as the Furies made their way down the aisle.
Suddenly the ladies surrounded Grover, Faye, Talica and Lumire and their bodies seemed to shriver into leathery brown hag bodies with bat's wings and hands and feet like gargoyle claws. Their handbags had turned into fiery whips.
"Where is it??" they shrieked as people screamed and cowered in their sets, seeing something but the mist making it blurry and distorted.
"She's not here!" Faye yelled. "She's gone!"
The furies raised their whips.
Faye drew her bronze knife, Grover pulled out a tin can.
Suddenly the bus swerved t othe side, sending everyone flying to the right as the driver wrestled with the wheel which aseemed to be moving on it's own.

(A tin can?)
Lumire gasped in horror, covering her mouth. "She's gone, she's gone!" she cried in time with the others, looking down. Lumire crashed into the wall on the other side of the train, but mangaged to protect her head with her arms.
Talicia just slid lower and lower in her chair, looking terrified. She, unlike Lumire, wasn't so lucky, Her head rammed into a chair, and then she fell to the floor. Talicia whimpered slightly as she lifted her hand to her head, removing it and finding it coated in blood.

(that's grover for you X3 he believes tin cans can solve anything XD)
Suddenly the bus screeched to a stop as the passengers fleed, screaming fit to burst.
The furies raised their whips at Faye and Faye waved her knife and yelled at them in ancient greek. Suddenly a girl voice shouted;
"Hey!"
Thalia was at the door and had pulled of the cap.
The furies turned, baring their yellow fangs at her and made their way towards her.
"Thaaalia Grace" 'Mrs. Dodds' Hissed. "You have offended the Gods.. you shall die."
"I liked you better as a maths teacher" Thalia retorted and pulled out her ballpoint pen. She pulled of the cap and a shimmering celestial bronze sword was in it's place. The furies hesitated.
"Surrender now" Mrs Dodds hissed. "And you will not suffer eternal torment"

Lumire watched this, and she stood up. "What did she do?" she suddenly asked, an edge in her voice. "It was Poisidon who made her, she can't help being born!" she cried, putting her hands on her hips and restraining the horror building like fire in her brain.
Talica stood of slowly, revealign a gash in her siude as well. "S..she's right. I..t's...not her fault." She slumped against the seat, closing her eyes in pain.

The furies ignored the girls and raised their whips.
"Look out!" Faye yelled.
Mrs Dodds lashed out her whip around Thalia's sword hand. Thalia managed not to drop it as the other furies lunged at her. Faye brought the hilt smashing into the face of the fury on the left, sending it flying out into a seat, then slashed her sword through the one one the right who exploded into dust with a scream. Faye grabbed Mrs Dodds in a wrestlers hold and Grover ripped the whip out of her hands.
"Ow!" he yelled. "HOT HOT HOT!"
The Fury who Thalia had hit with the sword hilt came at her again but this time Thalia sliced through her like a pinata.
