Sarah's mind was racing with questions and doubts. Was Marcus trustworthy? Was he truly on their side? She looked at him, trying to read his expression, but it was inscrutable.
As the night wore on, the entity's presence seemed to grow stronger. Sarah could feel its malevolent energy pulsing through the air, making her skin crawl. She knew that she had to keep Emily safe, but she wasn't sure if she could trust Marcus to help her.
Just as she was starting to lose hope, Marcus spoke up. "I think it's time I told you the truth about myself," he said, his voice low and serious.
Sarah's eyes narrowed. "What do you mean?"
Marcus took a deep breath. "I'm not just a supernatural ally," he said. "I have a connection to the entity that's been haunting you. A connection that could change everything."
Sarah's eyes widened in shock. "What kind of connection?" she demanded.
Marcus hesitated, as if unsure of how to proceed. "I'm the one who bound the entity to Emily," he said finally. "I did it to protect her, to keep her safe from other threats. But I didn't realize the entity would become so powerful."
Sarah felt like she'd been punched in the gut. She didn't know what to believe. Was Marcus a hero, or a villain? Was he trying to help them, or manipulate them?
As she looked at Emily, who was watching the scene with wide eyes, Sarah knew that she had to make a decision. Could she trust Marcus, or would she have to find another way to protect her daughter?
The fate of their little family hung in the balance, as Sarah weighed her options and tried to uncover the truth about Marcus's intentions. Was he friend or foe? Only time would tell.
