Chapter 2: "I see clouds are white…"
"Okay, Alex. Where do we turn?"
"Next left, mom."
The van pulled into a small gravel driveway at the end of which was a quaint brick house. It hadn't been lived in for some time, which was apparent by the heavily flaking paint and the untrimmed lawn.
"Looks like I've got my work cut out for me." Alex said.
"Yep." Jane said with a quick smile. She stopped the van in the driveway. "I'm going to unload some stuff. Go ahead and look around."
Alex stepped out of the car and looked around. Woods, thick with dark-wooded trees, surrounded the old farm. Alex tugged on a jacket and trudged off into the underbrush. He continued to walk until he found a clearing some way from the house. Kneeling in the clearing, he closed his eyes.
All around him, the leaves on the ground began to swirl. Clouds moved above him and his eyelids fluttered to the rhythm of the wind. The wind whipped through his thick hair and the trees around him bowed as each gust hit them. He stood and stretched out his arms, and the wind seemed to come into him, spiraling and lifting him off the ground.
"ALEX!!!" Jane's bellow shattered his concentration and he dropped to the ground with a thud.
"COMING!!!"
Rubbing his backside, he darted toward the farmhouse, the windswept clearing receding behind him.

In his loft, Clark stepped back from his telescope. He'd seen the clouds suddenly come together, and he'd been about to warn Jonathan about a tornado, but then they'd suddenly gone back to normal.
"Now that's weird, even for this town."
"What's weird, Clark?" Martha Kent came up behind him.
"Not sure. I just saw something weird over near where the Byers' moved into."
"What do you mean by weird?"
"I don't know. I've gotta run. I'm supposed to meet Chloe and Pete."
He kissed her on the cheek and sped out the door, leaving a trail of dust behind him as he raced down the dirt road that led away from the house.
