'Indicates a thought'
Chapter 3- The Man In The Mask
When Cameron arrived at the Talon that night, Clark was already there. She thought he looked awesome. like always. She walked up to him and blushed. "You look nice." Clark was speechless; Cameron was wearing hip-hugger jeans and a green halter-top. The first thing he noticed was her eyes; the top she was wearing made them shine like emeralds. "I'm sorry I'm late," she said. "I got lost on my way here." Cameron blushed even more. "Say something will you."
"You are really beautiful." Clark started to blush too. "Um. coffee?" Cameron nodded and they sat down at a nearby booth. Clark looked around nervously, "So, where are you staying?"
"Well, my dad bought a small farm, I think it use to belong to Lana's family," said Cameron.
"Really?" Clark asked, "I live right next door."
"No way!" exclaimed Cameron. "That is so cool." Just then the waitress arrived at their table. After they ordered, Clark started to talk about the life in Smallville. Cameron was very interested, mostly just by the way Clark's lips moved. 'Stop it,' she thought to herself. 'Once you tell him the truth, he'll probably call you a freak, just like everyone else.' When they had finished, Clark offered to walk Cameron home. "Thanks, that would be great."
When they stepped outside, a sudden breeze swept passed. Cameron shuddered and Clark offered her his jacket. She blushed, "Thank-you Clark." When they were about half way home, the roads and fields were totally deserted. Suddenly a small white car came speeding along the empty dirt road. It swerved, and stopped in front of them. An older boy wearing a mask got out of the car.
"Give me everything you got!" he shouted at them. "Now!"
"Go Cameron, now!" Clark said forcefully. Cameron stepped back and eyed the man closely. "Get back in your car or you'll be sorry," said Clark. They boy laughed and stepped forward. Clark winced and started to feel sick. 'Meteor rocks' he thought to himself. He tried to be strong but the boy pushed him and Clark went flying into the field. "How. " he whispered to himself. Just then, Clark saw a giant orange and black tiger tackle the boy.
"Argh!" he screamed. "Get off me you stupid animal!" Clark jumped up and looked around for Cameron, but she was nowhere to be found. "Damn!" shouted the boy. Clark looked over and saw that the tiger had ripped the boy's arm open. He jumped back into the car and sped off. Clark noticed that the tiger was looking at him. It had deep green eyes that shone like the meteor rocks. It turned and started to run away. Clark thought about chasing it, but he decided to look for Cameron.

Clark searched and searched, but he didn't find any trace of Cameron, so he decided to go to her house. No one answered, and even when Clark used his X- ray vision, he could see that the house was deserted. He headed for home and when he got there, he went up to his loft in the barn. Clark was surprised to see Cameron waiting for him.
"I ran back to the Talon, I thought you would follow me but. I guess not," she said as he started to blush. "Oh, here." Cameron took off Clark's jacket and gave it to him. "I really should get going my dad is probably waiting. "
"No, he's not home," Clark said. Cameron eyed him suspiciously then looked at her watch.
"Wow, it's only seven o'clock, I thought it would be later." Cameron smiled.
"Stay, I'm gonna invite Chloe and Pete to come over. My parents are away for the weekend so. " Clark said before he was cut off.
"I'd love to." Cameron interrupted. They headed for the house and when Clark went to call his friends, Cameron turned on the news.
"There have been several reports that a tiger has been running lose around Smallville. So far, no zoos have claimed that they are missing a tiger, but investigators are still searching," said the newscaster. Clark rushed back into the room.
"That must be the tiger that tackled that guy. Strange, you know, it had these bright green eyes the glowed like the meteor fragments." Clark sat down beside Cameron.
"I. I didn't see any tiger," she stuttered. Clark moved closer and looked into her eyes.
"You had left by then I guess," he said. They both moved closer bit by bit until Cameron could feel Clark's sweet breath on her face. She closed her eyes and waited. Suddenly the doorbell rang and Clark jumped up to get it. " I'm sorry."
