Phoebe's eyes darted around the room, her mind racing for an escape. Annabelle's discovery of the scroll had set her heart racing, and she knew she had to think fast. She couldn't let Annabelle uncover the truth, not now, not ever.

"Where did you get this?" Annabelle demanded, her voice firm but controlled.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKx3mILlnU
Phoebe hesitated, her stuttering returning. "I-I found it...in the attic...years ago."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPg4gAuryz
Annabelle raised an eyebrow. "In the attic? That's quite a coincidence, don't you think?"
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3f3ZgQGFI
Phoebe shrugged, trying to appear nonchalant. "I-I don't know what you're insinuating."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaRQygPpew
Annabelle took a step closer, her eyes locked onto Phoebe's. "Don't play dumb, Phoebe. I know you're hiding something. What is this scroll, and what does it have to do with our family?"
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXQMIfGa2X
Phoebe's eyes dropped, her voice barely above a whisper. "It's...it's nothing. Just an old relic."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkN9DlU5vhL
Annabelle's expression turned skeptical. "An old relic? With blood on it? Don't lie to me, Phoebe. I deserve the truth."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3F2pvg1vT
Phoebe's face went white, her eyes darting around the room as if searching for an escape. Annabelle's words had struck a chord, and she knew she was running out of options.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrpauYe4aQ
Phoebe's eyes landed on the window, and for a moment, Annabelle thought she saw a glimmer of desperation. But then, Phoebe's expression changed, and she seemed to steel herself.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4y2oahnC1
"Fine," Phoebe spat, her voice venomous. "You want to know the truth? I'll tell you. But you won't like it."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzp5DdoOeC0
Annabelle's heart raced, her mind preparing for the worst. What secrets had Phoebe been keeping? And what did they have to do with the mysterious scroll?
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGBZklrRtZ
Phoebe's eyes seemed to bore into Annabelle's soul, her voice dripping with malice. "You think you're so clever, don't you? Discovering the scroll, confronting me... But you have no idea what you're dealing with."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3y36LGi8Q
Annabelle stood her ground, her heart racing. "I'm dealing with secrets and lies, Phoebe. And I'm going to uncover every single one of them."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxdVQneESS
Phoebe's laughter sent shivers down Annabelle's spine. "You're playing with fire, Annabelle. And you're going to get burned."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsT9FwH5AF4
With that, Phoebe turned and strode out of the room, leaving Annabelle with more questions than answers. What secrets was Phoebe hiding? And what did they have to do with the mysterious scroll?
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0lhkQIaXU
As Annabelle pondered her next move, she heard footsteps outside her door. It was her mother, a look of concern etched on her face.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfm9iuiV3ki
"Annabelle, dear, I heard raised voices. Is everything okay?"
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM42NV41zMv
Annabelle hesitated, unsure how much to reveal. But something about her mother's expression made her pause...
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6N9coJP1U0
Annabelle's eyes narrowed, her mind racing. What did her mother know? And why was she suddenly so concerned?
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLawLQEfI1
"Everything's fine, Mother," Annabelle replied, trying to sound nonchalant. "Just a disagreement with Phoebe."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94U93Dj3ua
Her mother's expression turned skeptical. "A disagreement? That's not what I heard. Annabelle, what's going on? You know you can trust me."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoZVuQfkxm
Annabelle hesitated but her mother's words struck a chord. Maybe it was time to confront the secrets head-on.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3dPCtEzYH
"Mother, what do you know about the scroll?" Annabelle asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZ7L8eoGCJ
Her mother's expression changed, a flicker of fear crossing her face. "What scroll, dear?"
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZwuixfXPd
Annabelle's eyes locked onto her mother's. "Don't lie to me, Mother. I know Phoebe's hiding something. And I think you are too."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mqpAhRf73
The room fell silent, the tension palpable. Annabelle's mother seemed to shrink away, her eyes darting around the room as if searching for an escape.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtL3WZQRpa
And then, in a voice barely audible, she whispered, "Meet me in the garden tonight, Annabelle. Come alone."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1P8eQcPmB
With that, she turned and disappeared, leaving Annabelle with more questions than answers...
