AN:OMG! I swear this idea came to me in a dream! Anyway so I just wrote it down as quickly as I could before I forgot all the details. Hope you like it, and the rest of the chappys will be longer! :P
Lana lay atop her made bed. It was only three in the afternoon, and yet she felt exhausted. It had been a hectic morning. She hoped she didn't fall asleep; she only had fifteen minutes left in her break. She rolled onto her back and stared up at the ceiling. Her life had changed so drastically in the last three years. They said High School were the best years of her life. She didn't know about the best, but they had definitely been the most interesting. The phone rang and she sighed. Pulling herself up from he comfy spot, she walked into the next room and picked up the phone. "Hello?"
"Lana?" came the distressed voice of Martha Kent.
"Mrs. Kent? What's wrong?"
"Clark never came home last night, and we still haven't heard from him. You don't know where he is do you?" Her speech sounded planned, as if she had made this call a few times before.
"No sorry. I could go out and look for him if you want."
"No, just let us know if you see him." She hung up. Lana set down the phone and pulled on her coat. Clark had been missing like this once before. Lana had found him in the Cowachi Caves. At first she hadn't seen him, and she could've swore she had searched every inch of the place before he had shown up. When he had found him, he had been sprawled on the floor. Breathing heavily. He never did tell her what happened. He hadn't talked at all then. All she could get out of him was, "don't tell anyone" otherwise he'd been too traumatized. That's probably where he was now. And even if he wasn't, it wouldn't hurt to look. To tell the truth, the caves were fascinating, especially after her tattoo incident. She climbed back downstairs.
"Hey Mia! Something urgent came up, can you cover for me?"
"You're the boss!"
"Thanks, I'll be back
"You owe me one!" Mia called after her as the door swung shut.
Lana walked briskly to her car, drawing her coat around her. As she pulled up to the caves, she heard somebody arguing. But she couldn't hear the other side of the argument. The
Person she was hearing's voice seemed magnified, and it didn't sound like anyone she knew. Especially not Clark. She cautiously crept up to the entrance of the caves. Trying to even her breath so she could hear.
While it may have been true that she could hear both sides now, she definitely couldn't understand it. They had to be speaking some sort of foreign language, but she was definitely not familiar with it. She snuck a little bit closer, and recognized the back of Clark's head, with his brown, wavy locks, staring headlong at one of the caves many walls. She could hear him yelling, but could see no one else as the booming voice she'd heard first, rebutted.
She couldn't recall a time where Clark had ever been scared, but now she could definitely sense the fear quavering in his voice. She began to listen more intently.
"Come come Kal-El, don't you think it's time to leave this hick-town behind?"
"Hey! Watch your mouth!"
"SILENCE!!!!!" That shut Clark up. "I am officially TIRED of your disobedience! It's time to go now, face your destiny for ONCE!!!!" A string of bright light shot out and wrapped around Clark's hands. He desperately fought to free himself, until he slumped to his knees in pain.
"Please no...." He cried out in no more than a whisper. "Please..." Lana had watched the scene through terror-filled eyes, but had lost it as Clark fell to the ground in result of the pain. She rushed up and knelt next to him. Which profoundly irritated Jor-el, because she had gotten in his way.
"Lana...don't..." Clark managed, shocked that she was even there. How much of the conversation had she heard?
"Clark, you've saved my life countless times. The least I can do is try to return the favor." Clark was now in so much pain, that he lost the capacity to speak. So instead he shook his head vigorously at her. She ignored him and continued to talk rapidly. "I know you can't talk, so just listen. I don't quite know what's going on, but I heard enough to know that..."
"Hey princess!" Jor-El interrupted. Lana glanced up at the glowing portion of wall. "Yea you! Why not take your so-called friend's advice, and beat it!"
"He's not going down without a fight!" she declared, and Clark tried yet again to silently tell her to go, that she was in grave danger.
Jor-El decreased the pain in Clark's bindings, and said with a very sour voice, "There, now explain to your friend that she need to high-tail it outta here!"
"Clark I'm not going to leave you." Lana said sharply before Clark could even begin to talk.
"Lana please! If you stay here, chances are he'll either kill you, or take you with me. Either way, you'd be throwing your life away. Please Lana this is for your own good. Go, go and tell my parents I love them. And tell Chloe that I'm sorry for the fight we're in, that it was my fault. Go tell Jason, I'm sorry he lost his job. Go tell Lex that he was one of the best friends a guy could have." He paused. "And Lana, ask my parents to tell you the truth, you deserve It." he was silent. Lana reached up and wrapped her arms around Clark's neck.
"Clark, I know how you feel, but I'd kill myself if I left you with him, to face your fate alone."
Meanwhile, Jor-El was getting impatient. This girl just wouldn't give up! "That's it!" he thundered. "You've got ten seconds to make up your mind missy!" Lana tightened her grip around Clark, but he forcefully threw her off. "FINALLY!" Jor-El boomed, and all of the pain was returned to Clark, as the cave began to glow. Lana cried out in agony of the pain from the fall, but mustered up enough strength to grab onto Clark at the last second, and was whizzed into the unknown.
From the moment she had touched Clark's body, she felt as if she was on fire. Pain erupted from every inch of her feeble body. She hurt in places she didn't even know she had. Eventually she tumbled onto a very desolate surface, which just doubled up her already excruciating injuries. Just seconds later, Clark toppled on top of her, and she could no longer hold back the tears as she cried out.
Clark was horrified to see whom he had landed on, but was even more horrified to see the anguish Lana was in. Had he thrown her that hard? Jor-El laughed, and in spite of himself lessened Lana's torment. Leaving only her newly formed bindings to cause her discomfort.
