Mia's mind was reeling as she tried to process the revelation. The supernatural was her family's secret, a secret that had been hidden for generations.
"But why?" Mia asked, her voice shaking. "Why would our family keep this a secret?"
Luca's expression was somber. "Your family has been protecting the world from supernatural threats for centuries. They've been keeping the darkness at bay, but it's come at a great cost."
Mia's eyes widened as she realized the weight of her family's responsibility. "What kind of cost?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
Luca hesitated before answering. "Each generation of your family has been forced to make a sacrifice, a sacrifice that has kept the darkness at bay. But the cost has been high, and the burden has been passed down through the generations."
Mia felt a chill run down her spine. What kind of sacrifice had her family made? And what did it mean for her own future?
As Luca continued to explain, Mia realized that her family's secret was far more complex and sinister than she had ever imagined. The supernatural forces that her family had been protecting the world from were now closing in around her.
Mia knew that she had to make a choice: to continue her family's legacy or to forge her own path. But as she looked into Luca's eyes, she knew that she wasn't alone. Together, they would face the darkness head-on and uncover the secrets of her family's past.
But little did Mia know, the darkness was closing in around her, and the sacrifices of her family's past were about to come back to haunt her.
