‘The lovers-‘ madam said, confirming my thoughts and continuing ‘You and your illicit lover share so much more then trust and harmony. Both of you are even as individuals being intellectually, solicitously and selflessly. Although you’ve had your up’s and down’s (like most people have), you’ve never stopped loving one another. The road will be generally smoother from here on out. You may have your days but it won’t be as hard as it was before. Someone’s trying to come in between the two of you but it isn’t for the reason that you think. Sure, her intentions may not be 100 per cent proper but she too has her fair share of secrets. Stick together and you two can take on an army.’ She concluded with a smile.

I returned the smile as my heart rate increased. ‘Uhh can you please tell me something madam?’

‘Go ahead.’

‘Will that person that comes in between us reveal me and Cole’s secrets to everyone? Or will she keep it over us as leverage…?’

‘I cannot quite say… give it time and things will sort themselves. But no matter what happens, you two will hold strong until…’ she stopped.

‘Until what exactly Madam?’

‘As I said before, the future is still not fully set. What happens between the both of you is dependent on the choice you make.’

‘What choice would that be?’

‘I do not know exactly. It may be nothing, only time will tell.’ I nodded slowly, not sure how to take it.

‘Shall we move on?’ I nodded again as she turned over the next card.

‘The Chariot’ she announced. The card has a princely figure sitting in a chariot being pulled by two sphinxes. The prince-like person is crowned and is holding a wand.

‘There is a journey in your future with adversity. Be careful because it’s not very distant in time but very soon you shall go. There will be things you will learn, things you’ll regret hearing and seeing and there might be a slight betrayal in emotions. The journey of sorts may not be far but the distance does not matter. It may be against your will but not a kidnapping.-‘ she said, making it sound like a riddle ‘-It will be a mistake for you to be dragged to this journey as it is not yours to take but someone close to you. That person will need all the help they can get and all the support from you as it will not be easy for the both of you. But just keep in mind, however you will feel, this person will feel even worse. It will change their life forever.’

I looked at Meghann with a confused look and was met with the same one.

‘I have another client soon so we better hurry it up.’ She said as she turned over the remaining card. ‘The Empress.’ Madam said.

The card was a pretty one. It had The Empress sitting on a throne wearing a starry crown, holding a scepter (decorative ROD that a king or queen carries at ceremonies) in one hand. Her starry crown has around 10 stars on it and the throne in which she is sitting in is in the midst of a field.

‘The Empress card is the mother of all the Tarot cards. It is a wise and powerful one. Her scepter represents her power over life, her crown represents her dominance and the field of grain represents her dominion over growing things. You will gain a family member of the female sort, probably a mother but could also be a sister or cousin. It will be life changing –as all the rest of your readings have been-. I know you have just recently begun to think of your true family and I can see you will be motivated into discovering what you need to discover to satisfy your thoughts. But no matter what happens; do not regret you decisions.’ She finished.

I didn’t know what to think of my readings because they were definitely not expected. My mind was in full blast but I wasn’t going to take the attention away from Meghann. If my readings were as strange but somehow still amazing then I couldn’t quite comprehend the possibility of Meghann receiving as good of or realistic a reading.

Meghann Vanderent’s POV

I couldn’t believe the reading that Avery got. But I now –at least- knew that this psychic was the real-deal and could be trusted. I just hoped she wouldn’t reveal anything to Avery… I didn’t want her to hate me. But the amount of times my heart stopped in the midst of Avery’s reading was unbelievable as I could just tell that some of it related to me…

I watched as Madam Melrose gave a deal of 4 cards. She flipped the first one over and I gave a mental slap of my head. The Chariot.

‘The Chariot again… It isn’t surprising though that you too will go on a journey because… it will be you and Avery who will reach it together. What I said to her applies partly to you. It will be Avery’s forgiveness that gets you through…’ Madam Melrose said.

‘OK.’ I said as I desperately didn’t want her to continue. I think she got the message as she nodded. I tried to avoid Avery’s gaze.

Madam Melrose turned over the next card. ‘The Wheel of Fortune.’ Madam said. There was a wheel type thing in the middle with strange things surrounding it. There was an Angel, a Snake, many clouds and strange animals with wings.

‘You’ve had a special gain but also an unusual loss. You think that your problems have come to an end and I’m not saying they haven’t but it may not be as you think. Keep an open-mind and go with what you believe. Don’t let the world’s influence persuade you otherwise.’ She ended. I nodded in thanks as she turned over another card.

‘The Fool.’ It was basically a guy in colourful motley clothes; pack tied to a staff with a small dog, standing at the edge of a cliff.

‘You’ve had a new beginning, and with new beginnings always comes new adventures and opportunities. There are unlimited possibilities in your future but also pleasure, passion but also rashness.’

I thanked her again as she turned over the last remaining card. ‘The Hierophant’ she said. It looked like a man sitting on a throne holding up Peace with two fingers whilst the other hand is holding a gold staff. The Hierophant is wearing a crown and a red robe. Two men are kneeling before him in a respectable manner whilst there were two keys directly beneath the man’s feet.

‘This is a very symbolic card and holds much meaning. It is the father of all Tarot cards and lives up to its fortune. Mercy, kindness, forgiveness, compassion is only a couple of the assets to you and your future. You will generally put everyone else ahead of yourself even if it’s the last thing you do. But sometimes you have to learn how to put your foot forward and help yourself.’ She concluded.

‘Thank you so much Madam Melrose.’ Avery said for the both of us.

‘No problem of course. I hope today has helped you to understand you past, yourself and make your future clearer.’ Madam said as she stood up and we followed her example.

After paying, Avery and I decided to go shopping.
