It took another step towards them, revealing it to have human features. Actually the human features were female, the way her hair was fashioned and her facial structure in addition to her small, bare feet. But still she had a slight glow about her.

"Ya eller?" She asked, her voice was silky and soft.

"What?" Pete whispered to Clark along with an odd look.

And with that small little noise she focused her gaze on where Pete was hiding. She lingered for a moment and turned to go deeper into the wood. She was soon out of sight.

"Pete let's go. Pete? Pete?!" Pete was gone. Where he was before there were a few signs of a struggle and on the ground was the last thing Clark wanted to see. Blood. Not a lot of it but, blood just the same.

Clark went cold and his face turned a deathly shade of pale. He ran at his super speed all the way back home and burst through the door.

"Mom! Pete's missing! We were in the woods and the next thing I knew he was gone!"

Martha gasped. "How can he just be gone? Did he leave any trace of where he went?"

"Yes. Where he was standing there were signs of a small fight and." Clark's voice trailed off for a moment... "and blood."

"So Pete was taken. Do you have any idea who took him?"

"No... Well, there was something.. .there was somebody out there, but they were glowing like they were radioactive or something."

"We have to call the police." Martha said as she reached for the phone.

"No, don't."
