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.
583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHBoSbMZWb
Phoebe hesitated, her stuttering returning. "I-I found it...in the attic...years ago."
583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeI5aunwhub
Annabelle raised an eyebrow. "In the attic? That's quite a coincidence, don't you think?"
583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTehO6k4Wo
Phoebe shrugged, trying to appear nonchalant. "I-I don't know what you're insinuating."
583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsIbpfNNTE
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?"
583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlf2bz1Hw6
Phoebe's eyes dropped, her voice barely above a whisper. "It's...it's nothing. Just an old relic."
583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVEF0azDkJ
Annabelle's expression turned skeptical. "An old relic? With blood on it? Don't lie to me, Phoebe. I deserve the truth."
583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdC0UGUcJPk
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.
583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZdLMUbN2k
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.
583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalrUNLK5X8
"Fine," Phoebe spat, her voice venomous. "You want to know the truth? I'll tell you. But you won't like it."
583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KpfYWW7mH
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?
583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dyEB5O8iV
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."
583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDrdWJPQVa
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."
583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJOGrQL2aT
Phoebe's laughter sent shivers down Annabelle's spine. "You're playing with fire, Annabelle. And you're going to get burned."
583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJSLMsXySX
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?
583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlo2i3wr9E
As Annabelle pondered her next move, she heard footsteps outside her door. It was her mother, a look of concern etched on her face.
583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmHC0wXJDb
"Annabelle, dear, I heard raised voices. Is everything okay?"
583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWRS8yVKuy
Annabelle hesitated, unsure how much to reveal. But something about her mother's expression made her pause...
583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzz3ZfUuKy0
Annabelle's eyes narrowed, her mind racing. What did her mother know? And why was she suddenly so concerned?
583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8n0U7CnDch
"Everything's fine, Mother," Annabelle replied, trying to sound nonchalant. "Just a disagreement with Phoebe."
583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUa5UCKZuB
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."
583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgxgTNv8gG
Annabelle hesitated but her mother's words struck a chord. Maybe it was time to confront the secrets head-on.
583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAcGX94sKg
"Mother, what do you know about the scroll?" Annabelle asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRt3Ya8auCK
Her mother's expression changed, a flicker of fear crossing her face. "What scroll, dear?"
583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsNGOHwm8V
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."
583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFNPWbWHlI
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.
583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRd01lJwdSK
And then, in a voice barely audible, she whispered, "Meet me in the garden tonight, Annabelle. Come alone."
583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwS16MC3wYr
With that, she turned and disappeared, leaving Annabelle with more questions than answers...
