Chapter I
Goodbyes
I let out a heavy sigh as I looked out at the sun rising over the farm land that had been in my family for centuries. This would be the last time I would watch the sun rise from the loft that my father had created for my brother Clark and me. I didn't know when we would be able to return or if we would never be able to come back at all. This farm holds so many memories good and bad ones. Our mom, Martha would bring Clark and I up here when we were little and she would teach us the things we needed to know like reading and writing stuff like that. Our father Jonathan gave us so many talks about believing in ourselves. It was right here in this loft that we were told that we were adopted and that we weren't even from this planet.
"Hey" A voice said from behind me. I looked over my shoulder and saw that it was Lana Lang. "What are you doing here?" I questioned turning back around. I didn't have the energy in me to pretend to be on good terms with her. "I heard you guys were leaving?" I scoffed "I wonder who we have to blame for that." I heard her sigh. "I didn't know this would happen when I told Lex." I rounded on her. "How can you stand there and say to my face that you didn't know what would happen when you told Lex. Lana, he has been obsessed with everything that isn't normal. He has sent people to spy and god even try to kill us! My family trusted you with our secret and you ran straight to Lex. Clark trusted you!" I screamed. "Lana, I trusted you." I didn't have it in me to continue yelling so it came out as a whisper. "Bell- "She started before I interrupted her "Just go Lana. Leave my family alone." I walked past her and down the stairs leaving the loft all together.
When I walked out the barn doors I saw that our friends Chloe and Oliver were finally here with the truck. Clark and Oliver were putting the bags into the back while Chloe was with my parents. Clark looked at me and I knew that he heard everything that was said between Lana and I. "You okay?" he mouthed to me. " yeah." I mouthed back. When I walked up the steps I could see that mom was crying. "Mom please don't cry." I whispered as I hugged her. "I know we talked last night but I can't help it. I may not have given birth to you and your brother but you guys are my children and it's so hard to say goodbye when this maybe the last time I ever see you again." I didn't say anything except hug her even tighter. What was I supposed to say to that? There was nothing I could say to make her feel better because it was the truth. We didn't know if this was the last time. "Bells it's time to go." I looked over my shoulder to see Clark standing there. I let go of mom and went to dad and hugged him. As I hugged him the tears started flowing. "hey now what is this? I thought we agreed on no crying. Bells look at me baby." I looked up at my father memorizing the way his blue eyes sparkled and how they looked at me with love. He was holding back tears. "No matter how far you guys have to go always remember that your mother and I love you. And that we will always be family, we are so incredibly proud of you and Clark for everything that you guys have done and all the people that you have saved. I love you princess." I slowly let go of him and walked down the porch stairs. "Up you go Bell." Oliver held open the back door of the truck open for me. I stayed staring straight in front of me as Clark said goodbye. Before I knew it Clark and everyone else were climbing into the truck. "Well guys it's time to get out of here and see where the road takes us." Whispered Ollie. As he pulled out Clark pulled me into a hug and we watched the farm and our parents fade into the distance.
