Update: Over 500 people have read this chapter. Please continue reading all the chapters, I know this is short and might deter some people, but this story really does get better.
I don't understand why I followed him, why I'm standing here in the cold rain looking in and watching him kiss her. I don't understand why I have all these emotions welling up inside or why I even feel this connection to him. I've only known him for a week, yet I can't shake this strange feeling.
She wiped the stinging tears that mixed with the rain away from her eyes, sighing softly. She turned around quickly when she heard a faint noise, giving a small gasp. "You, why are you here?" She asked the person before her wearily. She knew something was about to happen.
Lana pulled away from the kiss, looking out the window with quite a confused look on her face. It made Clark look out the window to wondering what she was looking at. Looking back to her he gave her a confused look.
"What is it?" He asked with concern in his voice.
"I thought I saw someone and a green flash of light." She said looking back up to Clark.
"A trick of lighting I'm sure." He said kissing her on the forehead, trying to reassure her not to worry about it. But she did, she just couldn't help to feel that something was quite amiss.
Soren's story begins a little over three months ago, living in an apartment alone in Metropolis. She had a 9 to 5 job that she found out was becoming too repetitive to her liking, it was getting boring to her quite fast. She had walked into a coffee shop one day and found a Smallville paper that was left discarded by a previous patron, so she took it. Later that day she was thumbing through it until she came across an advertisement for a job on a farm. It looked like something she would be quite interested in.
She read through the advertisement and learned that Martha Kent was the one looking for help. The advertisement explained that her husband, Jonathan, had just died and her son, Clark, was away at college and she just couldn't take care of the farm alone. It didn't even take a second thought for Soren to quickly rush to Smallville and apply for the job.
When Soren got there and sat down with Martha for a while, they had come to an agreement. In exchange for Soren's help, she had the option to live on the farm free of charge, which Soren gladly accepted. She put her apartment up for rent and convinced Martha to let her turn the loft into a bedroom, seeing as she didn't want to disturb any of the rooms in the house. It wasn't until a week ago when she finally got to meet Clark.
"Mom, why didn't you tell me you needed help. I could have quit and come home!"
Soren stopped just before opening the door, hearing the voice of a worried man. She peered in through the little window and saw the back of a tail man with dark black hair. She saw Martha sigh and open her mouth about to speak, but Soren opened the door and walked inside. She almost instantly regretted it when they both looked at her confused. She held up a basket of vegetables and with a blush and a meek voice, "Am I interrupting?"
"Not at all." Martha said giving Soren one of her heartwarming smiles. She took the basket from her and went to the sink to wash the vegetables off. "Clark this is the person I was telling you about. Soren, this is my son."
Clark and Soren both stared at each other for quite a moment, looking each other over quite good. Soren wondered if he felt it too, a sensation like if they should have known each other. Clark ended up being the first to break the silence turning red from embarrassment.
"I'm sorry, I wasn't actually expecting a female." He said with heavy embarrassment in his voice, making Soren chuckle.
"That's okay. You're actually not the only one, quite a few people have said that." She said reassuring him with a smile. When Clark smiled back to her she thought about what Chloe said, and she was right, his smile was much cuter in person.
It was later into the day when Soren finally sat down and got to learn more about Clark. She had lost track of time and stayed out in the fields way longer then what she had wanted to.
NOTE:Yes this is a short chapter and yes this may seem confusing, but all my work is quite confusing. I want everyone to know that is an AU of season 5, something I have been trying to write for such a long time and I'm not entirely sure how this story will play out since my others ones never got finished.
