The Lakota Nation: Reservation part 2 by Whitney Shaw (children's books read aloud TXT) 📕

When morning came everybody was already up early, except Nuka he was still sleeping because she stayed up to late. They heard car outside of the house; they all looked out the window and ran outside. 

"Mother!" White Hawk said in excitement. 

"Oh I've missed my boys," smiled Angel hugging White Hawk. 

"Mom, we've missed you to," said Big Ben giving her a hug. 

Running Water stepped outside, and walked towards her; they both looked at each other for a long time and smiled. Running Water wrapped his arms around hers and brought her inside the house to eat breakfast. White Hawk went and woke Nuka up. 

"Hey, brother, mom is here. You stayed up to late last night didn't you," smiled White Hawk. 

"Yes," Nuka rubbing his eyes from sleep. 

He jumped up out of bed and ran out into the kitchen. 

"Mom!" Ran Nuka with excitement. 

"Nuka," smiled Angel. 

"Are you here to stay for good, no more working miles away from home?" asked Nuka. 

"No more, my boss said I can do my work from the house and he'll come and get my work," smiled Angel. 

"Sounds good to me," smiled Nuka. 

As they were eating, they had a lot of stories to tell her. So they told their stories. When they were finished the boys helped Running Water cleanup and go to White Clay groceries store on the edge of Nebraska and pine ridge. As they drove to White Clay White Hawk was seeing the shadow figure again as he was looking out the window. He just shook his head and the figure went away. 
They arrived at the groceries store and went inside. White Hawk was looking at things, he happened to look out the store window and saw the shadow figure across the street, and then he saw Jimmy walking over and came inside. White Hawk turned and BAM! There was the shadow figure standing right in front of him, it startled him a bit. White Hawk closed his eyes and then opened them, the figure was gone and he saw Jimmy. 

"Tokhesk he ya un he kola" (how are you friend)?" asked White Hawk. 

"Washte" (good)," said Jimmy. 

"What are you doing?" asked White Hawk. 

"Shopping, what are you doing?" asked Jimmy. 

“Nothing just waiting on my mom to get done shopping as we'll," said White Hawk. 

So they sat down on the wooden steps of the store. 

"You no, it's really good to be back in Pine Ridge, all my friends are here, I even grew up here with you. I'm glad I came back," said Jimmy. 

"Me to "kola" (friend)," said White Hawk. 

"White Hawk?" asked Jimmy. 

"Yeah," said White Hawk. 

"Were friends right?" asked Jimmy. 

"More than friends Jimmy were brothers," said White Hawk smiling. 

"Yeah, brothers, nothing can come between us, we'll always be best friends, forever, brothers forever," said Jimmy. 

"That's right, nothing is going to change that, nothing, brothers for life," said White Hawk. 

They both looked out into the open fields. White Hawk saw the shadow figure again and was in anger, and then he looked at Jimmy and back at the shadow figure. 

"Uh, I got to go, I'll see you later," said White Hawk quickly getting up and going inside the store. 

Jimmy just stared and watched him quickly go inside. 

"Jimmy!” Shouted mother. 

He walked over and they got into the car and they went back to pine ridge. As did White Hawk and his family. 

In the next short book you will start to see White Hawk getting worse. Now he will start to hear the figure talk to him more clearly and he will start to see it more clearly now in the next story. It may just break up a strong friendship. We shall see.
