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.

"What is it, Mother?" Annabelle demanded, her patience wearing thin. "What secrets have you been keeping?"
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIv2IFZvwK
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."
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsr1UvaZXH
Annabelle's eyes widened as her mother's words hung in the air. Power? What kind of power?

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."
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaN8bOeNevQ
Annabelle's world went spinning. What did her mother mean?
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLj1AKVY2C
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.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwuyZEnJ0r
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."
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPYpbi4Sst
Annabelle's eyes widened in shock. "Magic?" she repeated.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4DxvtrQdv
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."
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrB9S9Xa41j
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."
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHROOEetLEE
Suddenly, the strange occurrences and eerie feelings made sense. Annabelle was being targeted.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswbHpYDccO
Her mother grasped her hand, her eyes pleading. "You must be careful, Annabelle. Trust no one. Not even Phoebe."
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy82VwPkdtE
Annabelle's heart raced as she realized the truth. Her family's secrets were deadly.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6doyXRKha
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.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmnHB1ywX4
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."
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykHhGMiZ5X
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.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFsnrBZ33Y
"Why?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4AWWSGZVF
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."

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.
