I got this chapter up really quickly for you guys so I hope you all enjoy it. Lana's mentioned more in this chapter, but not that much more. But she'll be in it more in forthcoming chapters.


Clark was woken up by the bright sunlight, shining through the window. He checked his watch for the time, it was 9:15. He heard the truck starting up; it must be mom or dad going into town he thought. He looked out the window and saw his mother and his little sister leaving the farm.

Martha and Alyssa went into town. On the way there, they passed Lana's house so Martha told the young girl that Lana lived there with her aunt Nell. Alyssa asked why Lana didn't live with her mommy and daddy. Martha told her that Lana's parents were killed in the meteor shower, like her biological father.

When they got to town, Martha took Alyssa to Nell's flower shop. She wasn't really in to get any flowers, but she wanted to talk to Nell and Alyssa was wondering over there herself earlier. So she left Alyssa to look around the shop while she had a chat with Nell.

"Who's the little girl?" Nell asked, looking over at Alyssa who was smelling all the flowers.

"She's my new daughter. We adopted her a few days ago," Martha told her.

Meanwhile, Alyssa got the fright of her life when a girl who was standing behind some flowers started talking to her.

"Hi," said the girl. Alyssa jumped when the girl spoke because she never noticed anyone around her.

"Uh... hi, I'm Alyssa," she said, looking over at the girl. She looked just like the girl in the pictures Clark drew.

"Hey. I'm Lana. Are you new around here, I've never seen you before," Lana asked as she walked around the display of flowers.

"Kinda, that's my mommy over there," Alyssa told her as she pointed to Martha.

"She's Clarks mom too. Is Clark your big brother?"

"Yep," Alyssa said as she nodded her head.

"That's cool. Your really lucky to have Clark as your brother, he's a really nice guy."

Just after Lana said that, Martha came over and took her daughters hand. She had already noticed that Alyssa was talking to Lana, but she thought Alyssa would be quite shy, but she couldn't stop talking.

"Hey Lana, I see you've met Alyssa," Martha said, "Would you like to come over sometime and play with her?" Lana smiled then nodded her head in delight.

"OK, I'll set it up with Nell and you can some over sometime next week."

Then Martha lifted Alyssa up, and carried her over to the truck, then they went back home.

Pete eventually woke up then he and Clark went into the house for something to eat. By this time, Alyssa and Martha were back and Martha was making pancakes for the three hungry children.

"So boys, have a nice night?" Martha asked as she flipped a pancake. The boys nodded their heads. They didn't stay up that late, like they usually done, but they still had a lot of fun.

"Oh Pete, your mom is going to pick you up at twelve so have your things ready, OK?" Martha told him, whilst she handed out plates full of pancakes to the three kids.

"Sure thing Mrs. Kent," Pete replied with his mouth full of food.

Before Pete went home, he and Clark had another game of basketball. They asked Alyssa is she wanted to play too but she decided not to, she didn't want to get hurt or anything. When Pete was gone, Alyssa went to the loft and Clark followed her. When he got up there he saw Alyssa reading some of his old comics that he had left there for some time.

"Hey. Are you alright Alyssa? You've been really quiet lately," Clark asked as he sat down beside her.

"Yeah I'm OK. I just didn't want to annoy you or your friend Pete," she told him. She was looking through all his stuff when she came across a box. She tried to lift it up but she found that it was very, very heavy so she opened it. She found a sort of green/black rock in there, which started to glow when Clark started to come closer to her. By the time Alyssa turned around, her brother had fallen to the ground. He looked like he was in a lot of pain and Alyssa didn't know what to do. She left the box on the floor about five feet away for Clark and she ran out the barn looking for her mommy or daddy.

Clark was trying to move around but he was in so much pain he could barely wriggle. He tried shouting for Alyssa to come back but it was no good because his shout came out as a whisper. His stomach felt like it was tying itself up in knots and he felt like throwing up. He couldn't stay awake any longer. His eyes rolled to the back of his head and darkness covered his mind. And Alyssa was nowhere to be found.


I'll get the next part up ASAP but I've just started working on it so it might take a few days. Sorry if the wait is too long. So please R&R!
