Chapter 8

We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time. ~ T. S. Eliot

“HOLY shit!” Carlie sat up in bed once again, her mouth completely dry. This time there were no other words to describe what she had seen and felt.

For days, she had no dreams, and in fact, she hadn’t seen much of her best friend. They had both been ill and confined to their beds with something akin to the flu from Hell. It had been horrible, and Carlie was sure she would never get over it. Neither of them had used their powers during the time, and part of her wondered if there was no coincidence in that. What if this was all related? She didn’t like the idea at all. And now that she had seen more, way more than she ever wanted to, she knew it was almost time to go. They just had a few more things to talk about.

She grabbed her stomach and noticed it was suddenly feeling better, then she grabbed her flashlight, readying for the signal. This was not waiting until morning. She was going to have to figure it out now; they both were. It was too important.

She flashed the light five times, their signal that he should get up and come over. Her foster mother was quite the heavy sleeper, and a few times he had just come right in the front door. Besides, he liked boys, so it wasn’t like they were ever going to get into the kind of trouble she might be worried about. She was a more leave alone kind of woman, and that’s what worked for the both of them.

As soon as she heard the click of the living room door shutting, she raced into the dark, grabbing at Tanner’s hand and dragging him into the room, shutting the door as far as she could with all the clutter, so the light wouldn’t disturb. She reached under her pillow to grab her diary and flipped on the lamp by her bed as he sat down on the end, looking around like he might catch something from the mess. Really, it was all papers and boxes, nothing gross, but he was a bit of a clean freak. He was even always cleaning up after his younger siblings because he just couldn’t stand to look at the mess.

“Do you have your diary with you?” she whispered frantically, as she opened hers up on the bed. “I just had another dream or vision or whatever you want to call it. You’re not going to believe this one!”

Tanner reached into the pocket of his shorts and pulled out a folded up clump of paper; his diary. “I figured it was something big, so I brought it. Most of it is about being sick right now, so I don’t know how it’s going to tell us anything, but tell me about the dream.
