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.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAQOdCIrjpAQ
"What is it, Mother?" Annabelle demanded, her patience wearing thin. "What secrets have you been keeping?"
236Please respect copyright.PENANATrrRxkNa5V
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."
236Please respect copyright.PENANATKTVS3CD4g
Annabelle's eyes widened as her mother's words hung in the air. Power? What kind of power?
236Please respect copyright.PENANAHkoX0uh8Zn
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."
236Please respect copyright.PENANA2COSBjkFqW
Annabelle's world went spinning. What did her mother mean?
236Please respect copyright.PENANA1E9YfzznfM
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.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAB3kT0ZWoPG
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."
236Please respect copyright.PENANAMruFXEncWz
Annabelle's eyes widened in shock. "Magic?" she repeated.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAwvbUNnSgLX
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."
236Please respect copyright.PENANACYvFCsUAtd
Annabelle's head spun as she tried to wrap her mind around the revelation. Magic? Legacy? It sounded like a fairy tale.
236Please respect copyright.PENANACebHD8rZ9A
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."
236Please respect copyright.PENANA6Z1mUepBS2
Suddenly, the strange occurrences and eerie feelings made sense. Annabelle was being targeted.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAYaZ2pIEvBd
Her mother grasped her hand, her eyes pleading. "You must be careful, Annabelle. Trust no one. Not even Phoebe."
236Please respect copyright.PENANAV42KON6qe8
Annabelle's heart raced as she realized the truth. Her family's secrets were deadly.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAORLSp5YyG3
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.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAHfwkpNYdnH
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.
236Please respect copyright.PENANASnPIz3jlDH
The figure stepped closer, his features illuminated by the moonlight. Annabelle gasped as she recognized the piercing blue eyes and chiseled jawline.
236Please respect copyright.PENANArhnMthN4xH
"It's me, Liam," he said, his voice low and husky. "I've been watching over you, Annabelle. Keeping you safe."
236Please respect copyright.PENANAaZd1RD5LEn
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.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAtADT1ZVxRG
"Why?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAkYO2sxM9Hr
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."
236Please respect copyright.PENANAsrR4D7XxQm
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.
