Percy awoke from her slumber. She felt the weight of an arm wrapped around her waist.

The demigod craned her neck to look at the hybrid. Her back was pressed against his chest. Klaus' eyes were closed.

Her eyes scanned across his face.

He's cute when he's sleeping.

The sea green eyed girl adjusted her position and closed her eyes to fall back asleep.

Klaus' arm pulled her closer. "Good morning, love."

A soft smile spread on her lips. "Good morning."

He kissed her cheek.

Percy turned her head to look at him again. "Did you like Finding Nemo?"

The original chuckled. The film they watched the night before was 'Finding Nemo,' a cartoon movie about fish.

He nodded. "Yes, love."

The demigod grinned. "Good. It's illegal to not like Finding Nemo."

Klaus laughed. "And why is that?"

"I dunno. They have some pretty awesome lines in the movie." She smiled as she recalled one of the scenes in the film. "I shall call him Squishy, and he shall be mine, and he shall be my Squishy."

The hybrid was incredibly amused. "That's your favorite line?"

Percy laughed. "Maybe." She added another quote. "Fish are friends. Not food."

Laughter fell from his lips again. He placed a gentle kiss on her shoulder.

Klaus and Percy arrived at the Salvatore boarding house. They walked around the residence in search of the last two stakes.

The raven haired beauty wandered around the couch and spotted a wooden object on the table. She picked up the white oak stake.

Turning to the hybrid, she sent him a grin. Percy held out the stake demonstratively.

The hybrid chuckled.

The demigod had a smug look on her face. "Ha! I found one first."

Klaus playfully rolled his eyes and intertwined their hands. He led them down the steps.

They came across the doorway to the cellar. Alaric and Stefan were seated on the ground as they conversed.

"Well, this is depressing isn't it?" Klaus commented as he smirked at the demigod.

The corner of her lip rose up.

Stefan got up from his spot and faced the original.

Klaus held up the stake that Percy found. "Oh, and we found this upstairs."

"Hey!" Percy playfully nudged him. "I found it."

The hybrid chuckled, before returning his attention to Stefan. "Now, by my count, there should be one more."

He's so smart.

Percy grinned. "Such a great mathematician."

His dimples appeared again. Klaus' eyes found hers.

Stefan interrupted their banter. "Yeah, well, it's going to take a little more time."

The hybrid gestured to Alaric. "Why? Because we're waiting for that one to pass out. No thanks, I think I'll just kill him."

"Do you have any other hobbies besides threatening people?" The daughter of the sea asked challengingly with a smirk.

Klaus smiled. "I like art."

Percy nodded.

That's true.

"If you kill Alaric, you won't know the location of the other stake." Stefan pointed out.

The art loving enthusiast replied, "I can live with that." The hybrid moved forward.

"Well, I can't." Stefan blocked his path. "We have reason to believe that killing an original vampire, kills its entire bloodline."

Cool.

The Salvatore continued, "Now, I don't know which one of you I'm descended from, but I'd really rather not find out by dying, so why don't we just find the stake, destroy it, so we can all be safe?"

"So the fate of the entire vampire race, depends on you finding the stake. And to get it, we need you to pass out." He glanced at Alaric and let go of Percy's hand. "Which means that I feel totally justified doing this."

He sped at the history teacher and easily snapped his neck.

"There." Klaus spoke. "Sleeping like a baby."

Ah, yes. He is definitely just napping.

➳➳➳

The hybrid and demigod left the cellar and went back to the living room. Rebekah arrived at the Salvatore boarding house too.

Stefan walked back up the stairs and spotted the two originals and Percy.

"That wasn't too hard, was it?" Klaus questioned the vampire.

I guess Alaric gave the location of the final stake.

Rebekah moved past Stefan and ventured down to the cellar to get Alaric.

Klaus poured himself a glass of bourbon.

Rebekah returned with the vampire hunter.

"It's a little gratuitous, don't you think, Stefan? I would have been more gentle." The hybrid spoke, before taking a sip of his drink.

Rebekah looked at her brother and Percy. "I'm going to take him to the caves."

The demigod walked towards her. "I'll go with. I can get into the cave too."

Rebekah sent her a smile. The original tugged Alaric's arm and dragged him out of the door.

The raven haired beauty gave a peace sign and a grin at the hybrid. "Bye, Nikkie."

The corners of his mouth rose. "Goodbye, love."

✧✦✧

Percy and Rebekah playfully pushed each other as they walked under the Lockwood estate.

The demigod started singing the theme song from 'Little Einstines.'

"5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

We're going on a trip in our favorite rocket ship. Zooming through the sky, Little Einstines."

The blonde laughed. "Do you come up with these songs on your own?"

Percy shook her head and snorted. "Nah, it's from a kid show."

They reached the part of the cave that was sealed off to vampires. Percy and Alaric stepped in.

The demigod continued singing, "Climb aboard, get ready to explore."

Alaric walked up to the spot on the wall, where he hid it in between rocks.

"There's so much to find, Little Einstines" With that final message, Percy stopped singing.

Alaric leaned against the coffin that still resides inside of the cave. "Why would I give you the one thing that requires everyone to keep me alive."

Percy shrugged, "Because I could simply take it from you."

Stepping forward, she also pointed out, "I have the power of the Little Einstines on my side."

Alaric's face scrunched up in confusion. "What the heck are you talking about?"

Shaking her head in disappointment, she held out her hand, "Give me the stake, dude."

Alaric looked between Rebekah and Percy. He stepped forward and placed the wooden object in her hand.

"Thanks."

That was easy.

If only they knew, the stake Alaric gave Percy was fake. Esther had designed a fake one and bewitched the real one before she was turned into a ghost. The real stake was hidden somewhere else, and the original witch had used her magic to make the item incapable of being destroyed.

In addition to the magic she used on the stake, Esther also gave Alaric the abilities of a 'true hunter.' He was given immense speed and strength. The history teacher was simply waiting for the right time to reveal his abilities, so that he could take down the originals once and for all.

It hadn't occurred to Percy or the original siblings, that Esther carried out other schemes before Nico turned her into a ghost.

Percy stepped out of the 'vampires only' portion of the cave. Rebekah grinned and wrapped her arm around the demigod's shoulders. The blonde led them out of the cave and back to her house.

~~~~

They entered a room where Klaus was painting a picture.

"We got it!" Percy grinned.

Rebekah laughed and nodded. "The last of the white oak stakes that can kill us."

The blonde held out the stake in her hand. "Do you want to do the honors, or shall I?" She gestured to the fireplace behind the hybrid.

The sea green eyed girl's face lit up. "Can I do it?"

Klaus thought she was adorable.

Rebekah smiled at the demigod and handed her the stake. Percy took the stake and chucked it into the fire. "Woo!" She cheered.

Yay! Fire!

The daughter of the sea raised her hand in the air for Rebekah to high five. The original high fived her palm.

The hybrid chuckled, and went back to painting.

Annabeth walked into the room, her eyes trained on a book in her hands. She was reading as she walked.

Looking up, she asked, "What time is it?"

Percy shrugged. "I dunno. Why?"

"This is the eighth book I've been through. Have you seen their library? It's fantastic."

The green eyed girl laughed. "Eighth?"

Annabeth shrugged. She looked back down at the pages. "I can't stop. There is nothing that can get me to stop right now."

Rebekah walked over and brushed her hand against Annabeth's. The daughter of Athena glanced up and looked at the original.

Rebekah smiled at her. "Will you go on a date with me?"

Annabeth burned with a fierce joy. With a smile so wide, the corners of her eyes crinkled, the demigod replied, "Yes."

Grabbing her hand, Annabeth led the original out of the door and set the book down on a table.

The two blondes left the house with grins adorning their features.

Aw.

Dang. That's cute.

Okay, here's a little Annabekah moment for you. ;)

I don't know about you, but when I was in eighth grade, my whole grade would just randomly start singing 'Little Einstines.' Imagine 95 students singing a theme song from a kid's show. It's a mess.

Oh, and thank you to @JoyMinw for suggesting we have more Annabekah scenes!! Here is a small one.

Thoughts or suggestions?
