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.
616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gHLmg7QvV
Phoebe hesitated, her stuttering returning. "I-I found it...in the attic...years ago."
616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegG9UcOnX0
Annabelle raised an eyebrow. "In the attic? That's quite a coincidence, don't you think?"
616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqE1D1HMUAm
Phoebe shrugged, trying to appear nonchalant. "I-I don't know what you're insinuating."
616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemiTrur4Xx
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?"
616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GJHamcigx
Phoebe's eyes dropped, her voice barely above a whisper. "It's...it's nothing. Just an old relic."
616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpDfyeCkaG
Annabelle's expression turned skeptical. "An old relic? With blood on it? Don't lie to me, Phoebe. I deserve the truth."
616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIqYLNYioO
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.
616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvfgxhfooB
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.
616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVt0faEOuiC
"Fine," Phoebe spat, her voice venomous. "You want to know the truth? I'll tell you. But you won't like it."
616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcY1aRMMIEy
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?
616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjupx7jHmlb
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."
616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SbFcQURQF
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."
616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyQwINdmtJ
Phoebe's laughter sent shivers down Annabelle's spine. "You're playing with fire, Annabelle. And you're going to get burned."
616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbXhqWws9U
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?
616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDDHNMMdRo
As Annabelle pondered her next move, she heard footsteps outside her door. It was her mother, a look of concern etched on her face.
616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrMRu42N7D
"Annabelle, dear, I heard raised voices. Is everything okay?"
616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAOsJ8YxPG
Annabelle hesitated, unsure how much to reveal. But something about her mother's expression made her pause...
616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFbWR4Amqd
Annabelle's eyes narrowed, her mind racing. What did her mother know? And why was she suddenly so concerned?
616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXYgRLJH4I
"Everything's fine, Mother," Annabelle replied, trying to sound nonchalant. "Just a disagreement with Phoebe."
616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqEYsJxjER
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."
616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiUC5OvV83
Annabelle hesitated but her mother's words struck a chord. Maybe it was time to confront the secrets head-on.
616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4VGfL8qCp
"Mother, what do you know about the scroll?" Annabelle asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PIYVTqZl3
Her mother's expression changed, a flicker of fear crossing her face. "What scroll, dear?"
616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxoSp9bNAF
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."
616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaocQSb3yP
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.
616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vZFt76blC
And then, in a voice barely audible, she whispered, "Meet me in the garden tonight, Annabelle. Come alone."
616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62oxhoJpoH
With that, she turned and disappeared, leaving Annabelle with more questions than answers...
