us with our school schedule to do our training there.   My mom is living out there with Oakley and me.”   I got a whiff of her hair as she tosses it over her shoulder sending chills down my spine.
    “Oakley as in glasses?   Who is that?”   The way she said his name gives me a tinge of jealousy.
    “Yeah, he wears them too, he feels entitled.   He is my mentor and bodyguard when I’m away from the Pack.   Sounds crazy I’m sure, but you’ll get it.   Speaking of Piedsville, I better get you home.”   She lowered her voice and put her hand on my shoulder “Abe, I am sure we’re right and I know it is a lot of info but you have to trust us. We believe in you and we’re so relieved that you’re untainted by other Packs.   You’ll understand what I mean by that soon.”
    We drive in silence to my house.    My mind lingers to the things her dad said to me and can’t shake the feeling that someone isn’t telling me everything.   I hate, absolutely hate the idea my parents have to mourn my death.   I feel the burn in my nose, the one I get right before my eyes water up.   I’m not going to cry in front of her.
    “Abel?” She turns to look at me as we pull in the driveway of my house.
    “Yeah?”
    “No matter what happens, you can’t tell anyone about any of this.   Even though I see stuff, things are always subjective to change, so be careful.   Don’t befriend any new people and trust your instincts.   Right now that is all you have until you completely change.   Okay?”
    “Yeah.   See ya tomorrow,” I say and push the door of the Camero open.
    I get home before curfew but still walk into a dark and silent house.   I check and see my mom soundly asleep on the couch.   I snicker as I see she still has a book in her hand, apparently waiting for my dad to get home from work as she does most nights.    I kiss her on the forehead before running up to my room.  
      I’m so worried about controlling my dreams I can’t sleep.   I decide to check the internet out to see if there are any suggestions.

Chapter 18.   EAGLE
     

    PRU

    That night I dreamt about the eagle, it just kept circling Abel’s house.   As a shaman, the eagle is the giver of truth and knowledge.   I had shifted and was sitting in Abel’s yard waiting for the truth to be spoken to me.   My heart was racing, I couldn’t find the message and then a field mouse ran across the yard towards me, in a normal situation I would be like any other girl and scream, but in a dream/vision I have to hold my stance.   The mouse ran up to me and sat down in front of me.   We both stood there looking at each other for maybe five seconds and then he ran off.   Before he made it to the end of the yard I woke up.   My heart was still racing, but I had to journal before it left my memory.
    I sent Josie a text “Call me when u wake up. Ttyl ”
    Over time, I had quit sharing all of my dream journals with my mom, and only consulted with Josie.   My mom would read entirely too much in the dreams, sometimes a dream is just that, a dream.   Josie helped me decipher a vision over a dream, and I knew that this dream was in fact a vision.   Whenever a shaman dreams of animals, particularly a mouse, you have to take heed.  
    My cell started ringing, I knew it was Josie because I had set her ring tone to Linkin Parks ‘Nobody’s listening’.
    “Hey girl, what’s up?” Josie’s voice made me giggle; she is always so serious but tries to relate to me by being cool.   Cool didn’t really fit her personality but I loved and respected her anyway.
    “Are you up for a while?” I asked.
    “Yeah, you okay?”
    “I was hoping I could get with you and we could go over the last dream I had.   I won’t sleep again tonight, too much going through my head.   I talked to Abel and he knows everything now.   Well, not exactly everything, but soon he will.   I’ll tell you about it when I see you.   Would it be okay if you came over?
