Flames of Destiny - Part Two

*Rumble*
"Hey Man what is that?", Pete Said as the floor beneath them shook,
*Rumble*
Chloe muttered something about a earthquake as she grabbed hold
of Clark to keep from falling over, Clark seemed oddly unfazed by
what was happening around them, even as the other students looked
around wildly and tried to keep their footing Clark just stood there staring
at the floor a blank look on his face, "Hey earth to Clark?!?", Chloe
tugged on his shirt sleeve shaking him from his silent x ray scan
of the building below them, "Um sorry Chloe I was just thinking…",
"Clark the school is shaking itself to bits and your standing there
daydreaming again! you can think about Lana all you want
later but I really think we should get out of here first before the entire
building comes down on top of us!", with that she tugged his arm
again and lead him down the shaking hallway, Silently Clark's
lightening fast brain tried to work out what was causing this
it seemed to be coming from somewhere below them but his x ray vision
had revealed nothing that was out the ordinary , mind you that
said he had not had enough time to scan through the
entire block of lower levels, one thing he was sure of though
and that was this was no earthquake, he shifted the thought away
as he realised that stranger things had happened in Smallville…


*KABOOOOOOOOOOOOM*
Clark, Chloe & Pete just made it outside the building before what sounded like
a bomb went off, Stray shards of broken glass shot out everywhere raining
down on everyone who had made it out of building, Clark looked around in
shock at the carnage around them, People were hurt not badly but hurt
never the less, some of the girls were crying, He surveyed the flanks of
students looking for the one face that meant the world to him but even with
his powerful vision he was at a loss, Where was Lana Lang? he thought
to himself, lost in his own desperation he spotted Whitney Fordman,
hardly his best friend in whole wide world but he might know if Lana
was alright and where she was.

As Chloe pulled out her digital camera and began snapping pictures of what
was going on around her, Clark told Pete where he was going and then made
his way over to where Whitney was, "Whitney!" he called out over the
din of the noisy and panic stricken people around him,
"Hey Clark…" Whitney answered pulling his hand away from his head
revealing a nasty cut that was bleeding openly, he tried to wipe the
blood from his eyes but it only made it harder for him to see anything at all,
Clark pulled a few tissues from his bag and handed them too him asking him
what had happened, Whitney answered "Flying glass, but its not too bad,
Hey have you seen Lana? I can't seem to find her in this crowd mind
you with all this blood gushing out the top of my head I'm not seeing much
of anything.", Clark's Panic ridden face was all he needed to see
however before he said "Oh God she's still in there!!!", Whitney
tried to get up and head for the smoke ridden school but Clark
pushed him down again, "Your hurt Whitney more than
you willing to let on, don't worry I'll find her, one more thing
if you happen to see my Parents tell them what I'm doing
and not to worry.", "Thanks Clark" Whitney said as he looked up
again but Clark Kent was no where to be found, "Damn" he Muttered
to himself "I hate it when that guy does that!".
