“Unbelievable,” Clara muttered, her voice barely audible. It was so... *wrong*. The clean line of the empty space, the perfect lawn where the gnarled old willow had stood. It felt like a violation. A personal affront.

Her lips were pressed into a tight, thin line. A hot flush crept up her neck. She wouldn’t show fear. She wouldn't retreat. She could not.

She would do something. She had to. Her gaze flickered over the surrounding neighborhood. She had lived here her entire life and knew the people. She knew who was behind this. She would make them understand that what they had done had consequences.
