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.
364Please respect copyright.PENANAqafHtiql5F
"What is it, Mother?" Annabelle demanded, her patience wearing thin. "What secrets have you been keeping?"
364Please respect copyright.PENANAUhQRdIHWFV
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."
364Please respect copyright.PENANAKz7ENVB40x
Annabelle's eyes widened as her mother's words hung in the air. Power? What kind of power?
364Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6AXMYjk9Q
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."
364Please respect copyright.PENANAZVKCW2T3Bs
Annabelle's world went spinning. What did her mother mean?
364Please respect copyright.PENANAdtw6ykQ2Xn
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.
364Please respect copyright.PENANAtOBNhFnjNm
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."
364Please respect copyright.PENANAUnzv6x5mSc
Annabelle's eyes widened in shock. "Magic?" she repeated.
364Please respect copyright.PENANA9cv91ww7tO
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."
364Please respect copyright.PENANA0H8wamlMRh
Annabelle's head spun as she tried to wrap her mind around the revelation. Magic? Legacy? It sounded like a fairy tale.
364Please respect copyright.PENANAZ18maKQB61
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."
364Please respect copyright.PENANAcwt47C5RRl
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."
364Please respect copyright.PENANAa7DIGgSTfh
Annabelle's heart raced as she realized the truth. Her family's secrets were deadly.
364Please respect copyright.PENANA8rgBY4nj1M
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.
364Please respect copyright.PENANA8RubPCuqO8
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.
364Please respect copyright.PENANAHyL8yvFOG6
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."
364Please respect copyright.PENANAo7UqYE6kks
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.
364Please respect copyright.PENANAzFYruY1hCC
"Why?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
364Please respect copyright.PENANAaS6yGmBmFO
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."

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.
