Liam........
Why are you here with them, I ask him, leaving no room for explanations but, liam on the other hand seem to be less interested, his eyes was on phoebe and for the first time, I think I could see the hint of hidden love in his eyes towards her.
A very good question Annabelle, a man in his 60s appear from behind Liam, resting his hands on Liam's left shoulder blade, well done son....
Son?? "His family never abandoned him" I clutched my chest together, masking the pain off my face.
Liam seem angry at my emotionless face, you can't always wait for the key to come inside Annabelle, is all he said before walking away to stand on Phoebe's right side.
What do you mean? I ask.....
Walk with me the old man cuts me off ...
Phoebe came forward and handed a smelly ragged white hoodie over to me, put it on.
I look at the hoodie disgustingly, am not wearing that I warned, keeping my hands to myself.
And she said, don't do anything stupid she advised and then pushed me forward to follow Liam's dad.

I kept walking behind the old man like a zombie until we stopped right in front of a door marked X, he pulled out a brown piece of neatly folded paper from his pocket and began chanting some ancient spell while i panicked over if I will ever escape this forsaken place.

Stop shaking, Elijah suddenly whisper in my left ear, coming out of nowhere.
Jeez, you scared the fudge out of me i whisper back, besides am not as tough as you are, do you expect me to pretend like all of this is normal to me?
You should have listened to me when I warned you earlier about him....
Like you were any better than him...
I never betrayed you princess, Elijah defends himself sounding genuinely concerned about me.
Save it, am not interested. I won't lie when he called me princess I felt a spark of tingles in my belly.
The X door finally opens, come in Annabelle, the rest of you know what to do, they nodded and took a strange stance outside the door.

Once we were inside the old man decides to introduce himself, my name is cutler, he said flashing his teeth like I care.
Why am I here?
Patience little one.
He grabbed two different colored portions off the shelf and mixed them together into a big bowl that had steam coming from it.
There was a burst of rainbow color from the bowl, then he signaled to me to come forward.
i paused. Unable to move nor speak.
Don't you want to find out what this is all about he ask.
I sigh and do what he says.
look carefully into the bowl, i sluggishly looked into the bowl and find myself drawn into another world, only this time was different.
"The sunlight filtered through the trees, dappling the forest floor in a mesmerizing pattern. Young Annabelle had always found solace in nature, the rustling leaves and chirping birds serving as a soothing backdrop to her thoughts. With a sketchpad in hand, she wandered further into the woods, the familiar path giving way to a sense of tranquility that enveloped her. Strains of birdsong filled the air, and a gentle breeze carried the earthy scent of the forest. Captivated by the beauty around her, Annabelle's pencil flew across the paper, capturing the ethereal dance of light and shadow.

With a steely resolve, she vowed to uncover the truth behind her abduction, to unravel the tangled web of deceit that enshrouded her past.

Just when the story had just begun Annabelle was pulled back into the room, the ragged hoodie was now melting away into the steamy bowl.
Do you know where my real parents are? She ask respectfully and calm.
