shaking How...how did you get this power, Dad?
Martin

pulls out an old, worn-out journal It all started when I stumbled upon this...this book. It was hidden away in the basement of our house.
TaraAnguris

looking at Dad, eyes wide What's in the book, Dad?
Martin
9/10/2024
opens the journal, revealing pages filled with ancient symbols and incantations This, my dear, is no ordinary book. It's a tome of dark magic.
TaraAnguris

gasps Dark magic? Dad, how could you find something like that?
Martin

Tara struggles to process the revelation and starts experiencing strange symptoms such as memory loss and mood swings due to the dark magic
TaraAnguris

Panicking Dad, I...I feel weird. Are you doing something to my mind?
Martin
9/10/2024
steps back, raising his hands defensively No, Tara, I promise you, I'm not doing anything to your mind right now. You're just experiencing a side effect from the magic.
TaraAnguris

confused Dad, I still don't understand. Why are you keeping this a secret? And who gave you this power?
Martin
9/10/2024
takes a deep breath, looks directly into Tara's eyes Tara, the reason why I kept this a secret is because of the danger it poses to those around me.
TaraAnguris
9/10/2024
looking at Dad, fear creeping in But Dad, you're my family. Why would you put me in danger?
Martin
9/10/2024
steps forward, placing a hand on Tara's shoulder Tara, I would never intentionally put you in danger.
TaraAnguris

tears welling up Dad, I don't understand. Why did you use this power on me?
Martin
9/10/2024
drops his head, voice filled with regret Tara, I didn't mean to use this power on you. It's been a while since I've had to confront this part of myself.
TaraAnguris

wiping tears away Dad, I'm scared. I don't know what to believe anymore.
Martin
9/10/2024
takes a step back, his expression filled with remorse Tara, I know this is a lot to take in, but I promise you, I never meant to hurt you.
TaraAnguris

Voice trembling Dad, I need time to think. This is too much for me to handle right now.
Martin
9/10/2024
nods understandingly I understand, Tara. Take all the time you need to process everything. Just know that I'm here for you, no matter what.
TaraAnguris
9/10/2024

Martin

TaraAnguris

Martin
9/10/2024
nods, his eyes filled with concern Alright, Tara. If going somewhere else will help you make sense of all this, then go. Just promise me you'll stay safe.

TaraAnguris
