Annabeth's POV

The next morning i woke up as the sun started rising. For some weird reason, i would always wake up at this time. I got up and brushed my teeth and took a quick bath. I got dressed: a grey sweater with a yellow tank top underneath, jeans, and gray boots. I got everything ready and headed over to the kitchen. I found the keys, Mr. Omar had given me yesterday. It was the keys to apartment 16C. I made myself a quick breakfast and headed on out. I walked over to my car, a black Nissan Rogue, and opened it. I threw my Jansport backpack in the back and turned on the car. I headed toward a familiar apartment building...

When i got there, i was half expecting that breeze to hit me again. I couldn't believe i had gotten so used to that. Or maybe i spent to much time last night thinking about a certain black haired boy. I took one quick glance at the window before going into the building. As i opened the door, the smell of coffee being made hit me. I walked over to the front desk to see an unfamiliar man. He smiled as i walked past him.

"You must be Miss. Chase?" The man asked.

"Yes, i am. But, i don't know who you are?" I asked him.

"My name is Argus, I work here when Mr. Omar is off doing business." He explained.

Doing business, hmm...

"If you don't mind me asking, what kind of business?"

"Beats me, he never tells me. If i knew, i would tell you Miss. Chase." He said. He sounded sincere so i trusted him.

"Please, call me Annabeth." I said. He smiled and nodded.

"Are you going up to apartment 16C?"

"Yes."

"Do you mind me coming along? Mr. Omar never lets me go up there." Argus said.

"Sure, come on."

We walked to the elevator and went up to the 16th floor. The elevator door opened and we walked out. As we did i felt something, like if we were being watched by many people. I don't know who exactly since they didn't let themselves be seen. But, what the boy told me yesterday was true. He wasn't the only one...

We stood at the door of apartment 16C. I took out the key from my pocket and opened the door. I could tell Argus was nervous, scared, and excited all at the same time. I smiled a bit. I opened the door and walked in, Argus close at me heels. He looked around, and then turned to me.

"So this is the famous apartment 16C?" He said.

"The one and only. If you don't mind, I'm going to check the kitchen for something."

"I don't mind, go on ahead Annabeth."

I walked to the kitchen table to see if my golden coin was still there. It wasn't. I smiled at this, knowing the black haired boy must of taken it. I felt a familiar ocean breeze behind me and i turned around. The green-eyed boy stood behind me, smiling and playing with the coin in his visibly strong hand.

"You're back." He said. I nodded.

"What's your name?" I asked.

"My name is Perseus Jackson. But you can call me Percy." He said, smiling.

"Nice to meet you Percy, I'm Annabeth Chase." I said.

"I know that."

"And who would you know?"

"I have my ways..." He said.

"Whoa. It's so cool you can talk to ghost." Argus said walking into the kitchen. "I mean, it seems like if you're talking to yourself. Is there really someone there?" He asked.

"Yes there is. Percy would you mind showing him?" I asked. Percy shrugged.

"Ask him if he wants to sit down." Percy told me.

"Argus, he wants to know if you want to sit down." I asked Argus.

"Sure." He replied. Percy went over and pulled out a chair for him. In Argus's eyes, he might have just seen the chair move by itself. In my eyes i saw Percy do it, with a smirk on his face. Argus had a surprised look on his face as he sat down, i pulled out a chair for myself and sat down with him. Percy just stood in the middle of us.

"Why did you want me to leave yesterday?" I asked Percy.

"Why are you asking all these questions? Can't we have a normal conversation?" Percy said. I rolled my eyes and to my surprise Argus laughed.

"He's funny." Argus said. I looked at him weirdly.

"You heard him?" I asked. He nodded. I smiled, looks like i'm going to get some help this time.

"Anyways, answer the question, Percy. And then maybe we can have a normal conversation." I told him. He looked around nervously.

"I told you, he can hear you. Let's talk about something else." He said wanting to change the subject.

"Fine, how did you die?" I asked carefully. Percy sighed.

"I was killed." He said. I wanted to laugh and say Obviously Percy, your a ghost. But instead i just nodded.

"How?"

"My mother and I, we were the first ones to live in this apartment. At that time, it was the only thing we could afford. The place seemed nice, and welcoming. Mr. Omar rented us this room, and one night...we, um, we got killed." Percy explained, he voice sounded like if was full of pain.

"Whoa, wait? Did he saw, Mr. Omar rented him this apartment? How is that possible? The pictures look like if they were from 100 years ago. That isn't possible." Argus said.

"Or is it?" I told them. Argus looked at me confused. I looked at Percy, who was playing nervously with the coin.

"Percy, yesterday, you said he was coming. Then, Mr. Omar opened the door. What do you know about Mr. Omar, that we don't." I asked.

"Nothing!" He said, then he vanished. I sighed, and closed my eyes. Perfect, just perfect.

"Is he gone?" Argus asked.

"Yes, he seems scared of Mr. Omar. Come on, let's go check out the other rooms. Shall we?" I asked.

"Right behind you, Annabeth." He said as we walked out of the apartment. I closed the door and walked to the middle of the hall way. I stopped at the very middle of it, and waited. Again, i felt eyes on me so i decided it was my time to talk.

"Hi. My names Annabeth, what's yours?" I asked. Argus stood to the right of me, and i heard a voice from the left.

"Thalia Grace." The voice said. We looked to out left (even though Argus can't see anything, he can still hear). A girl, about Percy's age, stood in front of us. She was wearing a black dress, her black hair was cut unevenly. And she had amazing electric blue eyes. She looked about 17.

"Nice to meet you, Thalia. You have a very pretty name." I said. She seemed to smile a little.

"Who's the guy?" She asked.

"My name's Argus." he said waving at the wrong direction. She chuckled.

"I see you have already meant my cousin, Percy." She said. I nodded.

"I have. Thalia, can you please tell me what's going on?" I asked.

"Yeah, you we all lived on this floor because we couldn't afford a house. So when we all moved to this floor-" Thalia was cut of by Percy.

"What are you doing?" He asked.

"I'm helping Annabeth, something you're not doing." Thalia argued.

"He is listening to you. Do you want to be punished again?" He asked. Thalia shook her head and took a step back. "Then go back to your room." He said.

Thalia looked at Argus and I and smiled sadly. Then she went in (Well more like through) the door of Apartment 16A. I looked back at Percy and he was trying really hard to look angry. But he couldn't.

"I told you, pretty one, it's better for all of us, if you just leave." Percy said.

I was about to respond when the elevator door opened. Mr. Omar came walking out, and he stopped in front of us. Percy was nowhere to be seen.

"Argus, why are you not at the desk?" Mr. Omar asked.

"Oh, well, you see i-" I cut Argus off.

"I need his help opening the door of the apartment. It wouldn't open for some reason." I said.

"Oh, alright. Go back to your job Argus. And continue whatever is you were doing Miss. Chase." He said. I nodded and watched them both leave. I felt that same breeze again, so i turned back to become face-to-face with Percy. For some reason, we just stood there. Looking into each other's eyes, but then he looked away. And i was kind of disappointed.

"So...was Argus your...boyfriend?" He asked not looking at me. I smiled, knowing he didn't like the thought of me having a boyfriend.

"Argus? No, he just wanted to see your famous apartment. But now, he's definitely helping me with this case, i have never meant someone who could hear spirits." I said.

"Oh, good. I'm glad he's not your boyfriend- I mean, it would bother me if you had a boyfriend, it shouldn't bother me. Because you are pretty and it would be normal for you to have a boyfriend. What I'm trying to say is...forget it." Percy said as he rambled. I just stood there, amused at what he was saying. I was about to say something when my phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Annabeth. It's Nico."

"Hey, Nico! What's up?"

"Nothing. I just heard that you were in charge of Apartment 16C case. Just wanted to know if you needed help, because, in case you forgot, i can also speak to the dead." Nico said. I could just see his smirk.

"I didn't forget. Plus, i would love it if you would help."

"Great, come by my place later to see what you've got."

"Alright, see you later Nico."

"Later."

Then i hung up. Again, Percy looked uncomfortable. I was allowed to talk to other guys...or is he jealous...

"Well...i have to go now. See you soon, Percy." I said as i turned around and headed to the elevator. When the elevator door opened, i walked inside and saw Percy's disappointed expression.

"Goodbye, pretty one." He said, then disappeared.

P a g e B r e a k

I walked into my car and just sat there. Thinking.

Okay, so Mr. Omar rented this people the apartment 100 years ago. Maybe it's not the same Mr. Omar maybe it was his grandfather or something...Also there is an evil spirit there, that won't let them stay in peace as they should. Percy makes sure everyone else keeps quiet because if they don't they get punished...

Wow, this is so difficult. Time to go see Nico.

YAY! Chapter 2 of From the Past...

Nico will help Annabeth and so will Argus. Will there be some Thalico? I don't know..

What do you think? Also what do you think about Mr. Omar, is he 100 years old?

I hope you like it. This story is going to have some crazy twists to it. You'll see!

I'll probably update this by Monday or Tuesday so keep your eyes open.
