"Yeah, I am fine." Christy said, standing up. She was pale, after the voice was yelling at her. I am just tired, after the trip and everything. She smiled slightly, looking away from Clark's curious looks.

"I, uh, forgot to lock the car." Clark said to Lana. Why does she hear it? Was Jor-El maybe talking to her, not me? There is more to Christy than led on...

"You um, want something to drink?" Lana asked, smiling.

"Yeah, sure, and Lana, this is Christy. She is staying with us." Clark said, walking over to Christy.

"Hi, nice to meet you." Lana smiled to Christy then went to get their drinks.

Christy sat down and Clark sat down next to her and whispered quietly. "Did you hear that noise?" Christy nodded silently. "Who are you?" Clark asked and Christy turned away from him. "Jor-El sent you, didn't he???" Clark asked fiercely, thinking about the schemes of his biological father.

Christy looked at him with wide eyes. She shook her head. "He was the one talking to me, wasn't it? He was yelling at me..." Christy was scared. She wanted to return to finally say goodbye. She wanted to spend a week, and then leave. She didn't know it would go like this.

I cannot do this; I can't come and go as if this is one big playground. I wish I never got the necklace. I will stay my week and leave. Nothing dramatic will happen. I just need to get this-Jor El man to stay away.

"Tell him to leave me alone... please" Christy pleaded, not wanting to hear it again. Clark looked at her in utter disbelief. Is this girl from Krypton? How come Jor-El is just not noticing her??? Is she like me? Could it be?

Lana sat down with them, watching them both curiously. They were both oddly quiet, Christy looking scared and Clark giving her looks.

"And this is the girl who is staying with you?" Chloe asked as she entered the Talon and walked over to them. Clark had told her about Christy staying, but he didn't seem at all happy about it; in fact, he was rather angry at his parents for it.

"Yeah... Chloe, this is Christy." Clark said, looking up at Chloe. They shook hands and Chloe sat down next to Christy.
"Whoa, did someone die? Everyone seems pretty quiet..." Chloe asked, Lana looked at her and shrugged, not understanding why Christy and Clark were acting so odd.

A loud crash sound was heard and Lana winced. "Excuse me." She stood up and went to go find out what crashed, and to clean whatever it was up.

"Of all places, why choose Smallville?" Chloe asked Christy.

"I have a curiosity in all the strange going-on's, so I decided to check it out." Christy smiled, looking to Clark out the corner of her eye. "But actually, I am going to leave early, in a week. I have rearranged my priorities, and Smallville is a little too intense for me." Christy put her hand to her chest, expecting to feel her necklace, but remembered she had taken it off.

"Well, as long as you are staying at the Kent's, fill me in if you find out the 'big secret of the Kent's'. It has baffled us all." Chloe said, smiling.

Christy laughed and nodded. Clark frowned at Chloe. "I think we should go Christy. I think you should be resting, since you almost fainted."

Christy protested immediately. "Don't even. You heard the noise; you got of the car when we first heard it!"

"Noise? What noise? Clark, what's going on?" Chloe asked, intrigued

"Why did you hear it?" Clark demanded, forgetting the presence of everyone but him and Christy.

"Well why did you?" Christy snapped back.

"It was my father!" Clark shouted.

Chloe's mouth dropped. I thought Clark's didn't know his father, what is going on?

"What does he want with me?" Christy shouted right back at Clark.

"I don't know, are you another pawn in his plan to make me "go home"? Or what? I don't know what Jor-El wants with you, but I know I don't want anything to do with him." Clark ran from the Talon, slamming the door. Lana shrieked as the door's glass shattered.

"Christy, what was that? Who is Jor-el? How did he do that with door?" Chloe managed to let out, as everyone stared at the entrance of the Talon.

"I don't belong here! Why did I even come back?! I need continue my life, where I belong. Goodbye Smallville." Christy super-sped from the Talon. Chloe turned to Lana.

"Did you just see that? She disappeared?!?!" Lana nodded meekly. "Let's go to the farm." Lana nodded again as they rushed out the door into Chloe's car.
