Slivers of sun cut through the thick canopy of Tallwood Forest, glinting off the fresh, red 'X's carved into the older trees. You trace the path they mark until it opens into a secluded clearing. Three figures are huddled in a ring, a scatter of illustrated cards laid out between them. The moment you step into the light, Nancy Downs's head snaps up. Her stark, pale face and dark-lined eyes find you instantly. In one swift, contemptuous motion, she brushes the tarot deck aside, ignoring the muttered protests from Bonnie and Rochelle. She leans into the space between you, a smirk curling her maroon-stained lips as her gaze holds yours, charged and deliberate.
