Annabelle took a deep breath and made her decision. "I'm not going back," she said, her voice firm. "I want to meet my real parents."

Her fake mother's face fell, a mixture of shock and despair. "Annabelle, please reconsider. You don't know what you're getting yourself into."

But Annabelle stood firm. "Liam, I'm ready to face the truth," she said. "Take me to them."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1ON4VrsF4
Liam nodded, a small smile on his face. "I'll take you to them," he said. "But be warned, Annabelle, once you meet them, there's no going back."

Annabelle mentally prepared herself and followed Liam, leaving behind the only life she had ever known. As they walked, the trees seemed to close in around her, casting deep shadows that stretched and twisted in the fading light.

They reached a small cottage on the outskirts of the forest, smoke curling from the chimney. Annabelle's heart raced as Liam knocked on the door.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMROxrT3Rc
It opened to reveal a woman with kind eyes and a warm smile. "Annabelle," she said, her voice trembling. "We've been waiting for you."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRc4WeRoeMI
Annabelle felt a lump form in her throat as she gazed at the woman. Her real mother.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHqn1TWK3n
Annabelle's real mother, Emma, enveloped her in a warm embrace. "We've missed you so much," she whispered, tears streaming down her face.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFiZOsTLPD
Annabelle felt a wave of emotions wash over her as she hugged Emma back. She had so many questions, but for now, she just savored the moment.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YGBIodQYY
Emma's husband, Jack, stood behind her, a gentle smile on his face. "Welcome home, Annabelle," he said, his eyes shining with tears.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtP4J3gMjb
As they entered the cozy cottage, Annabelle felt a sense of belonging she had never experienced before. This was where she was meant to be.

But as they sat down to dinner, Annabelle couldn't shake off the feeling that her fake family wouldn't let her go without a fight.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMd3US29eE6
"Emma, Jack, what happens now?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5G9VsZU6F
Emma's expression turned serious. "We'll need to protect you, Annabelle. Your fake family will stop at nothing to keep you from us."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxcpW8JHpS
Annabelle's heart skipped a beat. She knew she had made the right decision, but she also knew that her journey has only begun.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeLNN55dvZ
As they finished dinner and the night drew to a close, Annabelle felt a sense of determination and responsibilities wash over her. She was ready to face whatever lay ahead, knowing that she had finally found her true home.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5e98jCU4l
But little did she know, her fake family was already closing in, their sinister plans threatening to destroy everything she held dear...
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlsbpFXgVj
As the night wore on, Annabelle grew more anxious. Emma was right, Annabelle knows her fake family will stop at nothing to grasp whatever is profitable to them, they are predictable in that aspect.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SRmUKiMdV
"Emma, Jack, what's the plan?" she asked, her voice laced with concern, worrying her questions will eventually annoy them.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5iVBRw11r
Emma's expression turned resolute. "We'll leave at dawn. We have a safe house, far from here."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZjJChVYoE
But as they prepared for bed, a loud crash echoed from outside. Annabelle's heart raced as she rushed to the window.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3G8mYXRO9
Her fake family, led by her fake mother, stood in the darkness, their eyes blazing with malice.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75HoRk3WEj
"You'll never take her from us," her fake mother spat, her voice venomous.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJFkc73sh0
Annabelle panicked. She knew she had to act fast, she doesn't want a revisit of what happened to her grandma to strike her parents.
And then, everything went black.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpgHJpAhvQ
Annabelle groggily opened her eyes to find herself in a strange room. Emma and Jack were nowhere to be seen.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnoGC1kOdp
But as she struggled to sit up, a figure emerged in her blurry view.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wNiw8T1mP
"Annabelle, we have to go," Liam said, his voice urgent. "Now."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpELDw2xWv0
Annabelle slowly stumbled out of bed. What happened? Where is Emma and Jack?
Gone, said Liam.
Gone where she asked.
Not now Annabelle, i need to get you to safety first. As they fled into the night, Annabelle realized that In fact, her nightmares was only just beginning, this time, it's happening in the real world.
