(A/N: Throne of glass story!
For anyone who's reading my Fairy Tail fanfic, this story is just for fun. I'm not going to stop writing my other story, but I had this idea and had to manifest it. And the text was filling up my phone, so I had to publish.

Sorry if the characters seem OOC, I kinda sculpted them a bit to fit the story better.
Also, I'm currently reading Queen of shadows, so I'm not done with the series yet.

There are no spoilers in this fanfic, except that Celaena is Aelin, if that's even considered a spoiler.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters in this fanfic.)

She listened as cars rushed by in the distance and walked slowly along the pavement.

Her gaze was locked on her feet and the path beneath, the cracked stone tiles heating up in the scorching summer sun.

Slowly, she allowed her gaze to wander.

The noon sun shone radiantly in the sapphire skies, through the few, soft white clouds that decked the heavens like translucent cloths.

The buildings flanking the narrow street were built of deep, maroon bricks, the roofs consisting of clay tiles.

Somehow she had found herself in the old-school part of town, far away from her quiet mansion.

Her parents sent her to live with her cousin in his mansion, as they were always traveling and didn't trust her by herself.

Aedion was barely ever home though. She was Aelin Ashryver Galathynius, heir to the Galathynius company and fortune.

It was the last day of summer holidays and she would start in her new school tomorrow.

It was the same university Aedion was in, except he was in his second year, while she would be starting her first.

She didn't know anyone here in Rifthold - in Adarlan in general.

She had come from Orynth, Terrasen, where she and her parents, Evalin and Rhoe, had lived in a beautiful mansion, twice the size of her cousin's.

No one was allowed to know who she really was, which was a real pain in the ass, but she had to go with it.

She was to enroll in the university as 'Celaena Sardothien', a distant relative of Aedion Ashryver, whom she was sharing a home with.

It was a drastic change, to say the least, and now she was lost as well, wasn't that pleasant?

The amulet of Orynth bounced against her chest as she walked further into the town, trying to find a map.

Her long, golden hair tickled her shoulders and swayed in the breeze, reaching past her waistline.

She was wearing a white tanktop and moon-washed shorts that left a small gap for the public to view her well-developed six-pack. ;)

Her feet were heating up in her black converse, but she didn't particularly care.

A trail of hot sweat trickled down her forehead.

"Hey, you!" She heard a male voice calling.

She turned to see a guy a few feet behind her, looking at her curiously.

"Yes?" She looked at him in a bored demeanor.

He had short, messy brown hair and orbs of pure, liquid copper.

He was tall and muscular, his prominent abs decked in a gray t-shirt and black sweatpants.

She swallowed, feeling slightly intimidated.

"I've never seen you around... Are you lost?" He gazed into her turquoise orbs.

"Well, yes. I recently moved here." She explained sheepishly.

"Really?" 'No, I'm lying, dumbass' she scoffed in her thoughts. "Yes."

"Well that's too bad for you." He started strolling off in the opposite direction.

"Are you kidding me?!" She yelled at his retreating back.

He tilted his head back and looked at her lazily.

"What?"

"You're not going to help me?!"

"You didn't ask."

She scoffed, "well, now I will. In what direction is the Avery?"

"That way." He pointed in in the opposite direction she was facing.

She turned on her heels and strutted off, without even bothering with a 'thank you'.

Before long she had reached the flowing river.

She saw the large mansion of the Havilliard family from the distance, it had an unearthly amount of windows. (Get it? It's made of glass!)

She sighed and walked off in its direction.

Aedion's mansion was close by; in the same neighborhood, to be exact.

As soon as she unlocked the gate, the door swung open and her blonde cousin came running out of the house.

"Aelin!" He shouted as he enveloped her small frame in a tight hug.

"I was gone for two hours." She tried to pry him off of her, but he just gripped her tighter.

"That's two hours too long!"

"You're way too protective, I swear to the gods, if you're like this in school I will slit your throat."

Aedion released her immediately. "I won't have to monitor you in school, sweet Aelin, because a friend of mine happens to be in your class."

He grinned deviously, as they made their way into the mansion. "Happens to be or you threatened the headmaster?"

She looked at him annoyedly, too which he simply laughed, "I'll let you decide that."

She stuck her tongue out at him and they slumped down onto the couch beside each other.

"By the way," He nodded towards a package on the coffee table, "your book came."

She jumped up. "Really? Why didn't you just say so?"

She ripped the packaging to shreds at lightning speed and tore the book out of the wreckage, holding it to her heart.

"Why do you love reading so much?"

Her cousin examined her weirdly, to which she grinned, showing off pearly white teeth,

"Because it's amazing."

"Sure... What book is that?"

"The third volume of the hunger games."

He cocked an eyebrow, "You mean the movies?"

"Idiot," she flicked him on the forehead, "the books were written before the movies!"

"Whatever." Aedion scoffed.

They both glared at each other for a few seconds before erupting into fits of laughter.

"It's hot~" She then complained.

"We can go swimming in the pool, if you want." He suggested, his face still colored red.

"Yes!" She grinned and hopped up, running to her room to get her bathing suit.

When she opened the door she was met with a blond ball of fur, jumping up at her and waving its tongue.

"Fleetfoot!" She laughed as the golden dog barked happily.

"Are you okay?" She looked up to spot Ress, one of Aedion's few servants, standing in the doorway, looking at her with concern looming in his dark orbs.

"Yes," she laughed, as Fleetfoot went to pounce on the young man.

"Fleetfoot! Come here!" She called, as Ress was helplessly trying to defend himself.

After the puppy had calmed down and was lying by her feet, Ress looked back at her.

"Miss, I-"

"Please," she smiled, "call me Aelin."

"Aelin then," he started once again, this time grinning, "I have to say, the household had gotten way more lively since you arrived."

"I can imagine." She giggled sheepishly.

"But it's a pleasant change." Ress confessed and bowed his head, "I'll be taking my leave now. Have a nice day, Aelin."

"You too, Ress!" She called as he was disappearing down the hall.

She sighed.

Everyone here was so nice and understanding.

The mansion was like a labyrinth, so the chances of running into one of the few servants was slim, but they were all kind.

She walked across her ginormous bedroom, to her walk-in closet.

The door slid open smoothly, as the entire room light up with automatic lights.

She quickly found a bathing suit and changed, after which she tied her long hair into a braid.

She examined herself in the mirror and smiled.

She was dressed in a simple, maroon bikini, that contrasted perfectly with her pale skin.

Her gold rimmed orbs dimmed as she turned to examine her back.

Three nasty scars clawed their way down her back diagonally.

They were the reason Aedion was so protective of her.

When they were younger, her cousin had lived with her and her parents in their mansion.

They got along splendidly, but one day, he had snapped.

She didn't remember why, but him and her were fighting.

He was shouting and flinging his arms around, glaring at her with hatred mirrored in those turquoise eyes.

Her eyes.

He was closing in and she ended up backing up against one of the large windows of the mansion.

He was blinded by the rage. He didn't know what he was doing.

But he had pushed her.

She could still hear the shattering of glass clearly as she recalled the tormenting pain in her back.

She remembered the high-pitched screams of the maids and the falling sensation.

The overwhelming smell of iron and the impact of her small body falling into one of the many bushes in the gardens.

But she had survived.

And Aedion hated himself for it.

He would never forget her scream as she plunged into the nothingness, he had claimed.

He never wanted her to get hurt again, so he took it upon himself to protect her from then on.

She grabbed a towel and strolled out of her room, her blonde braid caressing her shoulder blades ever so slightly.

Her steps echoed through the empty hallways as the coldness of the tiles seethed into her bare feet.

She shuddered.

On her tip-toes, she dashed through the maze of hallways and past an uncountable amount of doors, up stairwells and past windows, until she finally arrived at the rooftop pool.

She gazed around, shielding her eyes from the blinding sun.

Aedion was already waiting for her on one of the beach chairs, staring out beyond the water, at the view of the lively city below.

She smiled.

It was amazing up there.

It was an infinity pool, that reached the very edge of the roof.

There were a modern bar and bar stools in the water at the shallow end, near where she and her cousin were situated on the marble tiles at the staircase leading to the roof.

There was a marble path leading out through the water, connected to a 1 meter jumping board that was hovering over the clear water.

There was a rather small water slide, looping around itself once, before ending in the shallower part of the pool.

Aedion stood and turned.

He grinned. "Aelin, I was waiting." He held out a hand.

His golden hair was tied into a short, loose ponytail at the nape of his neck and his gold rimmed orbs glowed as the sun reflected off of his pale skin, although it was darker than hers.

He was wearing jade green swimming trunks and was topless, showing off his trained body.

She smiled as she gripped his hand in hers, and them grinned deviously.

Before her cousin had time to react, she spun and pushed him into the freezing water.

In a heartbeat he was put again, drenched from head to toe and chasing her.

"That wasn't nice, Aelin! But I'll forgive you, if you give me a hug!"

He yelled and laughed as they ran around the small platform of tiles, that was fenced off, so no one would fall to their death.

"I give up!" She shouted, as she ran along the ledge leading to the jumping board.

She did a perfect dive into the cold water.

It shocked her at first, but soon after turned soothing and refreshing; a nice change from the recent hot weather.

"You're weak! Watch out!" He exclaimed and did a cannonball from the board, landing directly beside her, splashing the cool water into her face.

"AEDION!" She yelled, as his mischievous face popped up from under the water again.

And she tackled him, dunking his head under the surface, again and again.

"I surrender!" He choked out between breaths.

She let go and he coughed out water, glaring at her as she smirked triumphantly.

"Also," she said, "you should stop calling me Aelin. If anyone else hears, we're fucked."

"What foul language for a heir, a princess even! Okay then. Celaena... Celaena... Laena!"

"I hate you, you know?"

"It's an honor to be acknowledged, Laena."

She scoffed and punched him in the abdomen.

"That did it! You're going down!" He got ready to attack.

"I dare you." She seethed through gritted teeth.

In the distance a dark haired teen stepped out on to his balcony from Havilliard mansion and squinted against the sun, as he spotted two people on the roof of the neighboring Ashryver mansion.

Dorian sighed, he wished he had someone who he could hang out with in his mansion, but his father wouldn't allow it.

He watched as one person tackled the other in the pool and they fought and splashed around, their laughter ringing through the air.

Sometimes Dorian wished he had been born into a different bloodline.

Back with Aelin and Aedion, the glass door to the stairs opened and Fleetfoot bounded out, shortly followed by Ress.

"Hey, Ress!" She shouted, paying the struggling Aedion - who she held in a headlock - no heed.

"Aelin! Aedion! You should get out of the pool! You're getting the entire roof wet and Murtaugh is getting complaints from the neighbors!"

"Why don't you come in as well?" Aedion suggested, completely ignoring the young servant's order.

"Seriously?" He cocked an eyebrow.

The two blondes grinned at each other deviously before turning back to Ress and laughing.

He had a look of confusion plastered on his face, well, he did, until the water came splashing at him, soaking his clothing completely.

He growled; "Well you two've done it now."

He grabbed a hose and started spraying icy cold water at them, all while laughing evilly.

She screamed and hid behind her cousin, who screamed - just as high-pitched - in return and threw her back in front of the beam of water.

"I thought you promised to protect me?!" She yelled back at him,to which he paused, thought, and then lifted her up and placed her back behind him, shielding her with his strongly built frame.

She laughed.

Ress continued spraying them, claiming he wouldn't stop until they got out of the pool, and the two blondes continued splashing him, refusing to oblige to his command.

Suddenly, when the servant teen was close to the pool edge, Fleetfoot pounced, sending both boy and dog diving into the water.

The dog paddled to her mistress, who was laughing her ass off at Ress, along with Aedion.

All three continued to splash and fight and play in the water for who knows how long, until an old man in a suit came strolling to he pool.

"Murtaugh!" Ress exclaimed and immediately climbed out of the pool and bowed to the man.

Murtaugh Allsbrook.
The head of Aedion's servants.

Both blondes went silence as the gray haired man stared at them sternly.

"Heyy, gramps~" She greeted sheepishly, to which he surprisingly smiled kindly,

"Aelin, I see you're having fun, how splendid! I would suggest you go to your chamber now though. It's getting late."

She nodded. She didn't want to get in trouble with the old man, so she obliged, climbing out of the pool and grabbing her towel.

She felt the warm breeze kiss her bare skin as she turned back to check on her cousin, who was looking utterly helpless.

"I don't think I need to lecture you about this again, so I'm just going to kindly ask you to leave and hope you get the memo.

Ress, we're going." Murtaugh turned, Ress close on his heels, and strutted back down the stairs.

She looked at Aedion, fighting to hold back her laughter as he watched the retreating backs of his two servants warily.

"I'm going." She mentioned, snapping her fingers to get his attention,

"I still have to pack my bag for tomorrow and prepare for the mental strain. Everyone at the uni knows each other from high school already, right?"

He nodded, climbing out of the cool waters as well.

"But I'll be there for you, so don't worry, also before I forget, I am meeting my friend - the one who's in your class - at 07:20 sharp in front of the house. Don't miss it. You'll be late otherwise. We're driving with my car."

"Got it." She murmured as she made her way down the stairs, her cousin close behind her.

"I'm going to take a shower and go to bed, so goodnight!" She turned, "'Night, Laena. I don't even get a hug?"

She sighed and spun to face him again.

"Come'er." He enveloped her in a tight embrace warmth radiating off of his wet body.

She wrapped her delicate arms around his frame as well, squeezing him tightly.

After a while they let go and smiled at each other.

"Goodnight." He grinned, to which she saluted in response; "Sleep tight."

"And don't let the bed bugs bite!" They finished together, grinning like complete fools.

Then both turned and headed to they're own rooms.

She headed straight for the bathroom connected to her chamber and had a nice, cold shower, after which she dressed in a loose, gray tank top and comfortable, velvet, violet shorts.

She packed her school bag and started reading her new book.

After a long while,

Aelin fell asleep.

(A/N: Tadaaaa! I don't care if this story doesn't get many reads, because throne of glass isn't so well known, but it's is SO fun to write! I'm happy now. I already wrote the second chapter as well XD. Anyway: Ja ne! (I don't care if this isn't an anime fan fiction, I watch to much 'TheAnimeMan' okay?!))
