As the day wore on, Annabelle found herself glancing at the clock every few minutes, counting down the hours until nightfall. She couldn't shake the feeling off.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, Annabelle made her way to the garden, her heart pounding in her chest. The moon cast eerie shadows on the ground, and the trees seemed to loom over her like sentinels.

Her mother was already there, her figure shrouded in darkness. "Annabelle, I'm glad you came," she whispered, her voice trembling.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0xJQYtsxR
"What is it, Mother?" Annabelle demanded, her patience wearing thin. "What secrets have you been keeping?"
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNJlU6l6gs
Her mother took a deep breath before speaking, her words spilling out in a rush. "The scroll, Annabelle... it's a family heirloom. One that holds the key to our family's power."
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBOfOwyTfI
Annabelle's eyes widened as her mother's words hung in the air. Power? What kind of power?
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lB3l5wLzC
And then, her mother dropped the bombshell: "You're not who you think you are, Annabelle. You're part of something much bigger than yourself."
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xhWuAKYMx
Annabelle's world went spinning. What did her mother mean?
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9L6ltcGg0f
Annabelle's mind reeled as she tried to process her mother's words. "What do you mean?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgPv0WFBEU
Her mother hesitated, glancing around the garden nervously. "We're not just a family, Annabelle. We're a legacy. A legacy of power and magic."
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SbGsNrClC
Annabelle's eyes widened in shock. "Magic?" she repeated.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrkbKweBUt
Her mother nodded. "Yes, magic. Our family has been hiding in plain sight for centuries, wielding power and influence. And you, Annabelle, are the key to it all."
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBqSf8D2aZ
Annabelle's head spun as she tried to wrap her mind around the revelation. Magic? Legacy? It sounded like a fairy tale.

But her mother's next words sent chills down her spine: "You're in danger, Annabelle. There are those who would stop at nothing to claim our family's power for themselves."
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYT5tBdwHwB
Suddenly, the strange occurrences and eerie feelings made sense. Annabelle was being targeted.

Her mother grasped her hand, her eyes pleading. "You must be careful, Annabelle. Trust no one. Not even Phoebe."
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74pP2NwhXg
Annabelle's heart raced as she realized the truth. Her family's secrets were deadly.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08kswrLFXK
Annabelle's mind was racing with questions, but before she could ask any of them, her mother vanished into the night, leaving her alone in the garden.

As she stood there, trying to make sense of everything, Annabelle heard a rustling in the bushes. She spun around, her heart pounding, and that's when she saw him - a tall, dark figure emerging from the shadows.

"Who are you?" Annabelle demanded, trying to keep her voice steady.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvq5DBhX3ke
The figure stepped closer, his features illuminated by the moonlight. Annabelle gasped as she recognized the piercing blue eyes and chiseled jawline.

"It's me, Liam," he said, his voice low and husky. "I've been watching over you, Annabelle. Keeping you safe."
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDZc2G3L0e
Annabelle's mind reeled as she tried to process this new revelation. Liam, the mysterious stranger she had met in the woods in her dream , was somehow real and connected to her family's secrets.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuTbjhT6Zm
"Why?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJDjqRVNcO
Liam's eyes locked onto hers, his expression intense. "Because you're in grave danger, Annabelle. And I'm the only one who can protect you."
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruCMNQCIlY
As he spoke, Annabelle felt her legs go numb. She didn't know what to believe or who to trust. But one thing was certain - her life is becoming a roller coaster.
