Darkness(Percy Jackson/Throne of Glass crossover)

The Jar

Annabeth

"Well this is a surprise," Sally said opening the door.

"Can we talk to you in the kitchen mum?" Percy said next to me.

"Umm, sure," she turns to go to the kitchen and me and Percy follow.

"We will just be a sec, make yourselves comfortable," Percy says whilst leaving. We arrive at the kitchen and to be honest it wasn't a very long walk.

"Now tell me what this is all about," so me being the smart one recounted what happened throughout the day. Percy concluded my statement.

"So can they stay, just for a few nights?"

"Hmm...well by the looks of them they are going to eat a lot so I will need to go shopping."

"So that's a yes?" Percy asks hopefully.

"Of course it's a yes Seaweed Brain." I say jokingly.

"Oh, you two are too cute." Sally puts her hands together and has that aww face on.

"Mum!" Percy is red with embarrassment, I start laughing at his gorgeous face, Sally joins in, and Percy stands there pretending to be angry. After everyone has calmed done I start to speak. "Do you want me to set up their bedding?"

"I would love for you to do that Annabeth, I assume you and Percy will sleep together," My face blushes ,"so one of them can sleep on the couch and we will set up our two mattresses on the floor and...hmm...I can sleep on the couch than two can sleep in my room."

"Are you sure? I ask, she only just met thee people and she is giving up her bed for them.

"Of course, they look like they have had a long day." As always her kindness is so surprising. "Now I will go to the shops, you two can get the others to help with the beds if you like, and tell them what is going on."

"Ok," Percy replies than hugs his mum goodbye. Before walking out the door she turns to me.

"Annabeth. Don't let him near the jar." I nod my head with understanding. That would be disastrous. When she leaves Percy turns towards me.

"You know where the jar is?"

"Of course." Sally told me the first day I came, I remember her warnings of telling Percy.

"Please Wise Girl, tell me were the blue cookies are." His big sea green eyes pleading at me, I new I was going to say it if I looked at him so I turned around and said no, he pouted at me and mumbled something that I think was along the lines of, I didn't want to know anyway, but who knows what he said.

"Come on, we need to sort the bedding." I walk into the living room and stand in front of my new friends and tell them what is going on. After 10 minutes the beds are sorted, Manon and Dorian on the mattresses and Lysandra and Aedion on the bed. To entertain ourselves we started to play a game of monopoly, after telling the others the rules.

"Annabeth you cheated," Percy complained to me after I won.

"No I didn't I just used my brain," Well and my body to move the pieces and role the dice. Percy huffed at my comment. Sally returned when we were half way in the game and went straight to the kitchen to cook a meal for us, Lysandra who was already bankrupt offered to help.

"Dinner!" Sally shouted to us. We got up and walked to the table. We had to find extra chairs before sitting down to eat. Sally and Lysandra came out the door carrying a plate of blue lasagne. They placed it on the table with salad.

"Why is it blue?" Aedion blurted.

"Oh it is just something we do after I had an argument with my first husband, my husband right now is working tonight, he should be her tomorrow though." They still look confused but than served them selves some food.

"This tastes delicious," Dorian says.

"I agree." Adds Aedion.

"This isn't what I normally eat, but it tastes alright." Manon says, looking kinda disappointed of her meal. I wonder what she normally eats. We all finish our meals and take them to the kitchen to be cleaned.

"I am tired," Aedion yawns, "going to bed." Without showering or getting dressed he goes into sally's bedroom and falls asleep without bothering to place the covers over him.

"Same," Lysandra says.

"Do you need a shower?" I question.

"I am used to it, no thanks." She leaves to go sleep with Aedion and the other two get down on their mattresses and fall asleep after a couple of minutes.

"Well you two should go to bed as well," Sally says and walks away. Percy and I walk upstairs.

"You can get dressed in the bathroom," Percy tells me. I grab my stuff that I keep at his, ( you never know when I could be chased by a monster in Manhattan and need a place to stay and a change of clothes after)than I go into his bathroom and change. When I walk out I see Percy laying on his bed in his pj's which consists of no shirt, his perfect body is on display and gosh he is hot. I put those thoughts aside and slide into the bed next to him, I need sleep. He holds me in his arms and kisses my forehead.

"Goodnight, Wise Girl." His warmth surrounding me like a warm fire.

"Goodnight, Seaweed Brain." And my eyes drift close as i fall asleep in his arms.

My eyes jolt open as I am awakened from a sound down stairs, a phone call in the middle of the night.
