Evelina's hands trembled slightly as she held the letter, her mind racing with questions. The stranger’s warning echoed in her thoughts, mixing with the warmth of the sun that had once made her feel safe.
Evelina Valerius/ Orion (FL)
(reading the letter) “To Evelina Orion: The past you think is behind you has lingering shadows that may soon emerge. Trust no one.”
Her heart sank. She looked up at Alaric, who was studying her face, his brow furrowed with concern.
Alaric Orion (FLs foster brother)
“What does it say?”
Evelina Valerius/ Orion (FL)
(voice shaking) “It says the past isn’t behind me… that I shouldn’t trust anyone.”
A frown deepened on Alaric's face. He took a step closer, his protective instincts flaring.

“You can trust me, Evelina. Whatever this is, we’ll face it together.”
Before Evelina could respond, Delythena entered the room, her cheerful demeanor faltering as she sensed the tension in the air.

“What’s wrong, dears?”
Evelina glanced at Alaric, silently urging him to share the news.

(gently) “We received a visit from someone… They gave Evelina this letter.”
Delythena approached, her expression shifting to one of concern as she glanced at the letter.

“What does it say?”
Evelina held the letter out, her heart racing as her foster mother read it. The room felt heavy with unspoken worries.

(softly) “Evelina, we need to be cautious. Your parents had secrets... It might be time to face them.”
Evelina swallowed hard, a mix of fear and determination swelling within her.

“I want to know the truth. But where do we even start?”
Delythena Orion(FL foster mom)
“I think it would be wise to talk to Alaric’s parents. They know a lot about the families in this area and might have information about your family’s past.”
Evelina nodded, feeling a flicker of hope.
Evelina Valerius/ Orion (FL)
“Okay. Let’s do it.”
As they prepared to leave, Evelina couldn’t shake the feeling that their lives were about to change forever. The shadows of her past were beginning to creep closer, and she was determined to uncover the truth—whatever it might be.
