Chloe was dancing under the stars with the man she loves. When she looked at him, he didn't have a face. She couldn't see who it was but she knew she loved him. All of the sudden the Earth started shaking violently. The Earth starting falling into darkness rapidly. Chloe tried to scream but she couldn't nothing came out.

She heard the man screaming her name loudly. Their hands were still entwined but with the Earth cracking beneath them, they were slowly drifting apart. "Chloe! Chloe!" She tried screaming again but nothing came out.

The Earth was falling and she had to let go. Their hands lingered there as long as it could before they had to let go. Then she saw someone behind her but before she could do anything she was pushed. She slowly fell into the darkness looking up to see one Clark Kent and one Lois Lane crying above.

"I'm so sorry Chloe this is my entire fault. I should have done something. I should have been able to help," Clark said as tears came from his eyes. She wanted to tell him it wasn't and there was nothing he could've done, but once again she couldn't speak.

"Chloe, this is all my fault and I won't stop till I find who did this to you," Lois said sternly as tears came pouring down. Again she wanted to tell her it wasn't, but no words would come out. Clark pulled Lois into an embrace and they walked off together.

Then, there was another voice. One that wasn't familiar to her at all. "Chloe! Miss Sullivan!" Finally she opened her eyes and snapped her head up quickly. To her disliking it wasn't Clark or Lois, no, it was Devin. That evil manipulating bastard, ruining her dreams and hurting the people she loved.

"Morning, Miss Sullivan. Here is your breakfast," The man said as he laid down the plate on her lap.

"I'd rather eat dirt than eat your food," she said defiantly as she glared at him.

Now that there was a little lighter through the one window, she could see his face a little better. He was a tall with hair that was almost a sandy blonde and looked in his late thirties. He wore a dreadfully tacky toupee that was a dark brown and he was skinny with barely any muscle.

"Okay, it's your loss. I guess we'll see how long it takes before you starve to death. You better hope your little cousin comes here quickly."

As he exited Chloe silently prayed that Lois would come and that she would be unharmed.


Lois ran into the house only to see Mrs. Kent in the kitchen. She ran up the stairs to Clark's room to look for him but he wasn't there either. She ran back downstairs.

"Mrs. Kent, do you know where Clark is," Lois asked out of breath.

"I think he said he was taking a walk, why?"

"No reason, I just have to find him and ask him about something. I'll see you later Mrs. Kent," Lois said as she walked out the door..

"Be careful honey," Martha yelled back. "You got to love that girl," she said to herself.

Lois stuck the notebook in her back pocket and ran out the door and onto the road. She kept running until she couldn't. She was about a half a mile from the house now and she didn't see Clark anywhere. She had been walking for a half an hour before she realized she had gone into the woods and that she was lost.

"Smallville! Are you here," she yelled as she silently hoped that he was. When there was no reply she picked one direction and decided to walk that way. She walked for another good five minutes before she was suddenly she was grabbed from behind.

"It's about time you came looking for her," was all she heard before she blacked out.


Clark had gone for a very long run around Smallville and Metropolis and felt cooled off enough to face Lois again. He slowed down as he neared his house just in case she waiting.

"Hey mom, where's Lois," he curiously. Surely she would still be here to ask question.

"She asked me where you were and then took off running away from the house."

"How long has she been gone for," Clark asked worriedly. In all honesty no matter how much he pretended to hate Lois, he really didn't.

"Oh I would say forty-five minutes. I assumed she had found you and you two were talking or something," Martha started to get a worried too.

"Mom it would have been pretty hard for her to have found me when I was running really fast. Where do you think she went?"

Martha was in a frantic now. How could she have let this happen? Of course when Clark said walk he didn't mean around Smallville. So many questions were buzzing through her head. 'Where could she have gone? What if she's hurt or worse? What if she's gone and so is Chloe?'

Finally she spoke, "Clark I want you to go look for her," she said forcefully. "I'll fill your father in when he gets home, which should be soon, and we'll go out as our own little search party." She was pacing the kitchen floor.

"Okay Mom. I should be back in no time," he said as he rushed out the door.

"Jonathan you better come home soon," Martha mumbled to herself as she kept pacing.

Clark ran out the door and then stopped and thought where she might have headed. Like his mother so many thoughts were going through his head. 'What if she hurt? What if her and Chloe are dead? Then, it would be all my fault-'

He stopped his train of thought right there. 'Oh no I'm, as Lois called it, brooding again. No, Lois told me that brooding gets me nowhere. If she were here right now she probably call me out on it like she always does and then would make a sarcastic comment that would get me out of my brooding. Lois always knows what to say.'

'Okay, think like Lois would, Think like Lois would. If I were Lois where would I go?'

He pondered this over for a minute. "Where would she go," he mumbled to himself. Then it hit him like car crashing into a wall. "She wouldn't…" was all he said before he took off.
