Reversed Card

~ Bethany ~

Twenty minutes later, they were standing in front of Madam Zoe Dradalen’s Tarot readings.

Staring up at the neon sign, Valisy muttered to himself, “You’ve got to be kidding me.”

When they entered, the older woman looked up at Bethany and she smiled. Her eyes drifted over to Valisy and the smile dropped from her face.

“You are different, Bethany. What have you done?”

Tilting her head, Bethany’s eyes sparkled. “The last thing you would have ever imagined.”

The woman automatically glanced down to her ring finger, and her eyes grew large at what she saw wrapped around the tiny bronze digit. “You have taken this man for your husband?”

Nodding, Bethany took a step forward. “I came for your official blessing.”

“I sense danger, but we will see what the cards have to say. Come, sit, and we will sip tea and the Tarot will speak to me.”

Bethany pulled Valisy over to a small table. “Thank you, my friend.” Bethany went through a basket of healing stones and talismans while she waited for Zoe to make their tea.

Returning with a tiny pot and three small cups, Zoe poured out the steaming clear brew. Inhaling deeply, Bethany enjoyed the aroma of Camellia. After passing out the cups, Zoe sat quietly with her fingers barely touching her cup. “What do you wish of me, my dear?”

“You said you sense danger. Find the danger.”

Reaching into her pocket, Zoe took out her old and withered stack of tarot cards. “I’m going to do a three-card spread. The first card will tell us which of you the danger is related to. The second will represent issues from the past that might pose a danger in the present. The third represents the future.”

Bethany looked the older woman in the eyes. “Understood.”

Flipping the first card over, it was the knight. Zoe glanced over at Valisy, who in turn appeared uncomfortable. The next card was a pale lion with a long blonde mane. “It is not your new husband who is in danger. It is his protector.”

Valisy’s hand tightened around her waist. Without looking at him, Bethany spoke. “Find her, Valisy. Do it now.”

“Are you certain?”

“You know that I am. Be careful. I’ll meet you at home, baby.”

“Let me drop you off.”

“No.” Glancing at the older woman, Bethany replied quietly. “I have something to talk to Miss Zoe about.”

“How’s your sister?”

“Fine, thanks to you.” Looking into Zoe’s eyes, she saw her own blood looking back at her.

“What do you wish of me, child?”

“Same request as before. Find the danger, Auntie. I can almost feel it on top of me, but every time I look up, it’s gone.”

Clearing the table, she gently shuffled the cards. “This time, you’re doing your own reading.”

“I don’t have the gift. You know I don’t.”

“I’ll help you. We’re doing a simply four-card spread.” Fanning the cards out, Zoe held them out to her. “Choose the card that best represents you.”

Bethany ran one finger along the edges, plucking one from the deck. Turning it over, she saw it was the priestess.
