Charmed: Kiss of Darkness
by Brandon AlexanderA Deadly Prediction With a knowing smile, the tarot reader walked over to Prue, Piper, and Phoebe's table. "I am Elena. You wish me to look into your future with my cards?"

It grew pale, a ghostly white, as though all the blood had been drained from it. "What is it?" Prue asked, trying to ignore the irrational prickle of dread that was raising the hair on the nape of her neck. "Th-this card has always been in the deck, but I've never drawn it during a reading," Elena stammered. She set it on the table, and Prue saw that it showed a crumbling black tower struck by lightning. "What does it mean?" Prue asked. Elena trembled again. "It is the most powerful card in the deck," she said slowly, her voice an ominous whisper. "It means that darkness will surround you."
