"Liam, what's going on?" Annabelle asked, placing a hand on his arm. "What did Elijah mean about your sister? "Liam's gaze snapped back to hers, his eyes haunted. "I thought she was dead," he whispered. "I thought I'd never find out what happened to her."

Annabelle's heart went out to him. She had no idea Liam was carrying around such pain.

"We'll find out what Elijah knows," Annabelle said, determination in her voice. "Together." Back at the library, Liam helped annabelle discover the hidden powers she never knew she had and thought her ancient spells that will come in handy in time of trouble. All Annabelle wants is to be there for him like he was for her.

Liam's eyes searched hers, then nodded curtly. "Midnight. I'll go alone."
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCU1OVAMTH0
Annabelle nodded, knowing better than to argue. But she couldn't shake the feeling that Elijah was hiding something sinister.

As the hours ticked by, Annabelle's anxiety grew. What would Elijah reveal at midnight? And what did it have to do with Liam's sister?

At midnight, Liam made his way to the old oak tree, his heart heavy with anticipation. Elijah was already there, his eyes gleaming in the moonlight.

"So, you want to know what happened to your sister," Elijah said, his voice low and husky.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKD6QJ1ulBO
Liam nodded, his jaw clenched.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUlhXGUv5m
Elijah's expression softened. "She's gone, Liam. I'm sorry he said blankly. But her death was not in vain. She was working to take down the Order from the inside."
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBv1lVLGmG
Liam's eyes flashed with anger and grief. "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHkWFqbtgr
Elijah stepped closer, his voice barely above a whisper. "Because, Liam, I was trying to protect you. You were so consumed by your desire for revenge... I didn't want to lose you too he lied."
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFz35SxDyY
Liam's gaze searched Elijah's face, and for a moment, Annabelle's presence was forgotten. There was a quick flash of thunder light that glowed in Elijah's eyes, it made Liam's heart skip a beat, but Liam knows better than trusting Elijah's words.

But Liam pushed it aside, his mind reeling with the new revelation of his sister's death, his eyes was covered in tears, he stood in silence, mourning the loss of his baby sister.

Meanwhile, Annabelle was watching from the shadows, her heart aching for Liam's pain. She knew she had to be there for him, but Liam's over protectiveness wouldn't permit it.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88q9Aeq3P4
All she wanted is to comfort him but all Liam wanted is to shield Annabelle from the baggage of his past and the dangers that lies in her future.

As the night wore on and the days passed by, Annabelle found herself torn to both Liam and Elijah, her feelings tangled in a web of confusion. Liam's brooding nature and haunted eyes drew her in, while Elijah's charming smile and mysterious gaze captivated her.

But as she delved deeper into uncovering the mysteries of the Order, Annabelle realized that both men were hiding secrets. Liam's past was marked by tragedy, while Elijah's true loyalties remained unclear.

One night, as they explored the ancient ruins of a long-forgotten castle, Annabelle stumbled upon a hidden chamber. Inside, she found a series of ancient artifacts and a mysterious scroll, there was something else a lock chain in a rusted iron box, the same one her grandma was buried with, she quickly hid the chain in her pockets from Liam and Elijah, turned, then waved the scroll in the air.

As she unrolled the scroll, she discovered another shocking truth: the Order was merely a pawn in a larger game, one that threatened the very fabric of their world.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgJlYgs10N
She couldn't understand how the bad people is a pawn in a larger game, if darkness is been toyed with, what then is more powerful than darkness itself? Who exactly is the mastermind of this dangerous game at play, she pondered fearing the world is eerily in a bigger danger than the prophesy revealed.

Elijah appeared beside her, his eyes gleaming with intensity. "Annabelle, we need to talk."
About what? She asked.
But before he could reveal more, Liam burst into the chamber, his eyes blazing with anger. "Elijah, what have you done?"

The air was charged with tension as the three stood there with, Liam furiously glaring at Elijah hiding a small smile at the corner of his lips while Annabelle looked innocently confused in the dance of the tension smoking in the chamber.
