  She flicked the cards into patterns with the speed of familiarity, but no matter how she varied the spread the message remained the same. Danger, the Tarot symbols warned her, Anguish, Foolish Decisions, Deception and Sorrow. Always the suit of swords dominated, with its reigning king present.

Repetition was one of them, reinforcing the message of her vision and that awful clawing bush. Forces were swirling around her. Danger poised ready to pounce. But from where? What was the meaning of a twining grasping bush? Danger from the earth? She shook her head, bewildered. She only knew that to ignore the warning would be to her peril.
