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.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTC38gcDWi
Phoebe hesitated, her stuttering returning. "I-I found it...in the attic...years ago."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGPiZsc9XB
Annabelle raised an eyebrow. "In the attic? That's quite a coincidence, don't you think?"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLVI2KMwTX
Phoebe shrugged, trying to appear nonchalant. "I-I don't know what you're insinuating."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvdVDZlStJ
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?"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5LadCySPY
Phoebe's eyes dropped, her voice barely above a whisper. "It's...it's nothing. Just an old relic."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCfj7Xx0dw
Annabelle's expression turned skeptical. "An old relic? With blood on it? Don't lie to me, Phoebe. I deserve the truth."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKJZHY0qI3
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.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VGhGVphBd
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.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMi1qx1RJks
"Fine," Phoebe spat, her voice venomous. "You want to know the truth? I'll tell you. But you won't like it."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFddcNc1O2n
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?
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFGqvsyQ5o
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."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuMckWS2aQ
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."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluOmf7Y6Io
Phoebe's laughter sent shivers down Annabelle's spine. "You're playing with fire, Annabelle. And you're going to get burned."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpN6ObOiAT
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?
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIh8qpiUnc
As Annabelle pondered her next move, she heard footsteps outside her door. It was her mother, a look of concern etched on her face.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSKP4On3Pu
"Annabelle, dear, I heard raised voices. Is everything okay?"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMLRxiIMhS
Annabelle hesitated, unsure how much to reveal. But something about her mother's expression made her pause...
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIYc5RBTs2
Annabelle's eyes narrowed, her mind racing. What did her mother know? And why was she suddenly so concerned?
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4KIfvoIuY
"Everything's fine, Mother," Annabelle replied, trying to sound nonchalant. "Just a disagreement with Phoebe."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVyNoCsg7q
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."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOt5J782Ri4
Annabelle hesitated but her mother's words struck a chord. Maybe it was time to confront the secrets head-on.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4uX1hKAq4
"Mother, what do you know about the scroll?" Annabelle asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhL6utgFG0z
Her mother's expression changed, a flicker of fear crossing her face. "What scroll, dear?"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddjmGgOUfD
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."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLTWUqVtxl
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.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVGxpsRp9m
And then, in a voice barely audible, she whispered, "Meet me in the garden tonight, Annabelle. Come alone."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAppfyfC0C7
With that, she turned and disappeared, leaving Annabelle with more questions than answers...
