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?"
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16ggqrpxKm
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."
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQg73MetL4B
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."
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQF4Q6H1dO
Annabelle's world went spinning. What did her mother mean?
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1s7I6Cu5HD
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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDMrvLzZtM
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."
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWCljAYGKY
Annabelle's eyes widened in shock. "Magic?" she repeated.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGOxdOwVHw
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."
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyAdH2DGLD
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."
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOprC4GBYqV
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."
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnSizQcn1N
Annabelle's heart raced as she realized the truth. Her family's secrets were deadly.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLWKvFxKov
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.

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."
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpRtqGYBL0
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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2riRBf40w
"Why?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnSByrxFiZ
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."
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQLYTmDKL0
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.
