Destiny
After grabbing the flashlights and hopping into the truck Lana and Clark headed to the caves. They were both quiet while Clark drove there. Lana didn't know why Clark wanted to return to the caves because he had been found there, and Clark didn't want to tell Lana what really happened to him in the caves.
After they arrived, Clark and Lana got out of the truck and walked towards the caves together. Clark hesitated for a moment before entering the caves because he didn't know what he was going to do, but he was sure that he wanted to look around.
When they were finally deep enough in the caves, Clark walked towards the wall where he had been living for the past three months. It started to give him shivers just thinking about it. Lana had noticed that Clark started to shiver and walked over to him.
"Are you ok Clark?" Lana asked.
Clark turned around and smiled at Lana.
"Sure, I'm just a little cold." Clark said.
"I've never actually seen you look so cold before. Except for the time you and your mom both got sick." Lana said.
"I'll be ok. I just want to look around." Clark said.
"Do you want me to go back to the truck and get you a blanket or something?" Lana asked.
"Sure, that would be great." Clark said and smiled.
"Don't go anywhere. I want to find you here when I get back." Lana said.
"I won't I promise." Clark said
Lana then headed back to the truck to get Clark a blanket. When Lana disappeared around the bend in the caves, Clark started to read the cave paintings on the walls. He didn't exactly know what he was looking for but he knew it was in the caves somewhere. He began to touch the walls surrounding where he had been sucked in to see if he could find something that would let him find out if he needed to know anything else about his origin. Then as he was touching the walls he stepped on a softer soil than the soil on the cave ground.
"What the..." Clark said.
Clark then crouched down to see if he could see anything on the ground. He flashed the flashlight to the soil and then noticed that there was something reflecting off the light of the flashlight. He then began to move the sand-like soil from where the light was being reflected. It didn't take him long for him to find out what was beneath the soil. He flashed the flashlight on the object once again. He didn't realize that he had brushed away the soil deep enough to see that the object was a globe. But he couldn't understand why he hadn't seen it there before. Clark then picked up the object and started to examine it. He couldn't find any sort of switch or button to turn the globe on so he decided to wait until he could see it in the daylight.
He then began to hear footsteps behind him and then realized that Lana must be coming back from the truck. Clark had no place to hide this globe he found because it was to large to hide underneath his shirt because Lana would immediately notice it and begin to question what it was. Clark then placed it on the ground and loosely covered it up again with his foot.
"Here Clark I brought you back the blanket. It's not a huge one but it will probably do for now, is it alright?" Lana said as she came back to wrap the blanket around Clark's shoulders.
"That should do it." Lana said.
"Thanks Lana. I appreciate it. Are you sure you aren't cold?" Clark said.
"No I'm fine. I grabbed my other sweater when I headed back to the truck." Lana said.
Clark then pretended to trip over a small rock and swooped up the globe under the blanket.
"Are you ok, Clark?" Lana said, "That was a nasty trip."
Clark then regained his balance and said, "Yep, I must have tripped on a rock or something. My ankle is a bit sore but I should be ok."
"Are you sure? I wouldn't want your ankle to swell up or anything." Lana said.
"No, I'm sure I'll be fine. I'll have my mom check it when we get back. Are you ready to go?" Clark said.
"Sure, um... did you find what you were looking for?" Lana asked.
"Yea, I just wanted to look around and see if I could remember anything from before I was, well you know." Clark said.
"Well it wasn't like you were abducted by aliens, Clark. Someone just probably dropped you off for dead." Lana said. She then realized what she said about Clark being taken and replied, "Sorry, I didn't mean it that way."
"It's ok really, I'm sure I'll figure it out, one way or another. Let's head back to the farm. I'm exhausted and my mom will really want to look at my ankle." Clark said.
"Sure, let's go!" Lana said.
Clark then started walking and every once and awhile he would add a small hop to make his injury believable to Lana. But really he was trying to keep the globe under the blanket so Lana wouldn't see it. When they returned to the truck Clark then took Lana's flashlight and his flashlight and bundled them back in the blanket with the globe and put it in the bed of the truck. Lana then helped Clark hop into the truck and Lana got in the passenger side and closed the door.
