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.
342Please respect copyright.PENANATSqi0cN8AV
"What is it, Mother?" Annabelle demanded, her patience wearing thin. "What secrets have you been keeping?"
342Please respect copyright.PENANANWOnEFUVvM
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."
342Please respect copyright.PENANA8Ru60DWrZb
Annabelle's eyes widened as her mother's words hung in the air. Power? What kind of power?
342Please respect copyright.PENANA2ElLknhD5d
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."
342Please respect copyright.PENANATx4FFUuPLA
Annabelle's world went spinning. What did her mother mean?
342Please respect copyright.PENANAiziD6R72Wf
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.
342Please respect copyright.PENANAaEcDxxKDwP
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."
342Please respect copyright.PENANA23fAb2bmpS
Annabelle's eyes widened in shock. "Magic?" she repeated.
342Please respect copyright.PENANA2gCBgViuRK
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."
342Please respect copyright.PENANAMRLqgtpcNd
Annabelle's head spun as she tried to wrap her mind around the revelation. Magic? Legacy? It sounded like a fairy tale.
342Please respect copyright.PENANADzlq6V7RNt
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."
342Please respect copyright.PENANAquLADU5yUE
Suddenly, the strange occurrences and eerie feelings made sense. Annabelle was being targeted.
342Please respect copyright.PENANAD63ArKtTvj
Her mother grasped her hand, her eyes pleading. "You must be careful, Annabelle. Trust no one. Not even Phoebe."
342Please respect copyright.PENANAbF4DfbCYxH
Annabelle's heart raced as she realized the truth. Her family's secrets were deadly.
342Please respect copyright.PENANAdatcV3FIit
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.
342Please respect copyright.PENANAIdff2bZQir
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.
342Please respect copyright.PENANAJIXdWOmFIW
"Who are you?" Annabelle demanded, trying to keep her voice steady.
342Please respect copyright.PENANAcemQt0kUJW
The figure stepped closer, his features illuminated by the moonlight. Annabelle gasped as she recognized the piercing blue eyes and chiseled jawline.
342Please respect copyright.PENANA4D9CM8TwST
"It's me, Liam," he said, his voice low and husky. "I've been watching over you, Annabelle. Keeping you safe."
342Please respect copyright.PENANAgaTfadxl4q
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.
342Please respect copyright.PENANAcHYK479Hgl
"Why?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
342Please respect copyright.PENANAVri6ompf3g
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."
342Please respect copyright.PENANA3rTO1A2ipw
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.
