" Clark?" Lana suddenly said.
Clark opened his eyes slowly. He saw Lana lieing under his coat. The flames danced on her face. She looked beautiful. But he couldn't think about that stuff anymore. She wasn't his anymore.
" How'd we get here?" she asked looking around the cave. " At first I thought some abomidable (sp?) snowman found me."
Clark smiled fakely.
" I went out looking for you and this was the only place I could find that could keep us out of the storm," Clark explained.
The way she looked at him was torturing. It was as if she were saying, " I still haven't forgotten about our broken relationship."
" So does that mean we're lost?" she asked sitting up a little.
" Yeah, we're - we're lost," Clark said painfully. He'd always wanted to be there for Lana and now they were both stuck and he could do nothing to protect her.
Lana pushed his jacket down to her legs so that she could put her hands closer to the fire.
'Well, she's not mad that I gave her my coat so I guess that's a good thing,' Clark told himself positively.
Lana noticed he was eyeing her and so she turned his way. He quickly changed his focus to the fire.
She sighed. " It's hard isn't it?"
He looked back at her.
" What is?"
" This whole 'breaking-up thing'. It's really - tough."
" Well, we just have to start getting to use to it I guess," Clark concluded stirring a little to keep his warmth. He hesitated before adding, " We can still be friends - right?"
Lana shrugged. " I don't see why not."
She got up and walked over to Clark and then sat back down next to him on his left side and put his coat back over her knees. She looked over at him and smiled.
" Good," Clark stated. But inside Clark felt even worse. Even if they were just friends, she still would want to know his secret.
'There's no time like the present, Clark,' he told himself encouragingly. He took in a deep breath.
" Lana, I - I have to tell you something..."
BOOM BOOM BOOM - CRASH!
Lana jumped and squeezed Clark's hand. Clark was instantly ready to protect her. Once again, the break-up disappeared from his mind.
" What was that?" Lana demanded.
" It came from the entrance," Clark informed as he used his x-ray vision to see what it was. They were too deep in the cave for Lana to see it, but Clark saw that something had caused a bunch of rocks and boulders to roll down and plug up the only way that Clark knew how to get out.
" It sounded like an avalanche or something," she guessed with a look of concern on her beautiful face.
" I'm going to go check it out." Clark stood up.
Lana still held his hand as a pathetic attempt to stop him from going.
" No, it might be too dangerous."
" If it was an avalanche (which he already knew it was), I need to clear the rocks away from the entrance or no one will check in here if they're looking for us."
Lana stared at him for a moment and then slowly let go of his hand. He raced off towards the opening into the cave.
*~*~*
" They couldn't have gone out that far," Jonathan said for about the tenth time as he flipped through the map book that he had in his lap.
Lex, who was the more patient of the two, was slowly examining the map book that Jonathan had given him and remained silent. He examined every possible space they could be around the Kent property. Some of them looked just perfect, but Jonathan reminded him that these books were slightly out-dated and most of those old shacks and small little coves had been destroyed by the meteor shower. Lex sighed and turned the page.
" This is hopeless! Completely hopeless!" Jonathan shouted as he threw the book to the down. He stood up and looked out the window at the raging storm. His body was silohetted against the whiteness of the snow. Everything seemed dark around him.
Lex gazed out at the snow for a while too. His face was lit by one candle which was resting on the coffee table in front of him.
" It's not hopeless, Mr. Kent, we have a chance -"
" Do not try to calm me down," Jonathan stated firmly as he turned around to look Lex straight in the eye. " My only son is out there with his friend and neither one of them have been seen for at least two hours. The last thing I feel like doing right now is calming down."
" Mr. Kent, we can find them faster if you look at the better side. We have to keep looking for place where they might've taken refuge."
" What if they didn't take refuge? What if Clark never found Lana? Both of them could be out there buryed in snow and how is looking through a bunch of older-then-dirt books gonna help me with that?!"
Jonathan's temper was slowly rising and Lex knew it. He'd never had a son before, but he knew how it felt when someone you really loved was lost. It seemed like you'd never find them again. He looked back down at his map.
" Mr. Kent, what year did you say these were made?" he asked.
" 1988 - the year before the meteor shower. Why?" Jonathan answered sharply.
" Then why does this map say at bottom: copyright 1990?"
" What? Let me see that," Jonathan said rudely as he walked over to Lex and looked over his shoulder to see. " Martha must've bought new ones after the shower."
" That means that all those coves and other places are still there. They could be in there somewhere," Lex explained.
" Let's go," Jonathan urged as he grabbed his coat.
" Wait, Mr. Kent, this could take hours with just the two of us," Lex reminded as he also stood.
Jonathan stared at him firmly.
" I don't care how long it takes - I'm going to find Clark and Lana."
*~*~*
Clark finally reached the entrance. So many rocks were in the way that there was no light from outside. Clark would've been lost in the pitch black darkness if it hadn't been for the x-ray vision which allowed him to see everything.
He started to pick up the stones and toss them a side. Just then, when he grabbed a particularly large boulder, a few more rocks stirred and came tumbling down. A cloud of some sort of dust emerged. Clark's lungs caught some of it and he coughed a little.
The rocks became slightly heavier, but he continued to shift them around until he made a pretty good sized hole.
He started on his journey back to the fire and Lana. He tried to think of how he should start out his "I'm An Alien From Outer Space" speech to her.
'How about - 'Lana, did you know that my real parents are from another planet?' - no. Maybe - 'Guess what - I'm an alien!' - no, definitely not. How did I start out when I told Pete...?'
Whether he wanted to or not, Clark finally began to see the flickering flames of the fire. That's when everything started to swirl around. He felt dizzy and his stomache flopped around.
'What's going on?' he asked himself unbelievably.
" Clark? What happen?" Lana asked when she noticed how strange he looked. He could barely walk.
Clark acted like he didn't even hear her. He tried to walk over to the fire so he could sit down, but everything got more fuzzy the more he moved.
" Lana, I think I - I - I'm -"
And then he collasped on the ground of the cave.

I'm so evil *smiles devilishly*. :o) ReViEw!!!
