The sun shinned brightly down at the Kent farm as Jonathan walked through the kitchen door of the yellow house, sighing when he saw his wife sitting at the kitchen table with a worried and tired look on her face as she jumped up from her seat and looked at him restlessly when her son didn't come in with him. "Did you find him?" Martha asked, seeing him simple move his head up and down and stuff his hands in his pockets.
He nodded, "Yeah he was down in the caves, he looked a little out of it. He said he was fine when I asked him, and he said he'd prove it by racing me home. He should be home by now, have you seen him?"
Martha shook her head, "No I haven't seen him yet. You'd think he'd be ho....." she didn't finish her sentence as Clark walked up to the door, dust all over him. He look terrible. Martha put her hands on her hips as he walked in and smiled sheepishly at her,
"Clark Kent where have you been? You had us worried sick." Clark looked down at the floor and mumbled, "sorry"
It wasn't cutting it though. His parents were still a little upset at him, and he could merely see it in their faces. Gulping loudly, he ran his hands through his dirty hair and smiled the best he could, clutching his teeth together as he sighed some.
"I uh…I decided to walk instead, I'm really sorry." Clark told them both, walking past them and grabbing a glass from the cupboard so he could fill it up with water and take a nice, large guzzle of it in hope that it would help his headache and nausea. As he did, both Martha and Jonathan exchanged glances before the father strolled up to him and placed his hand on his shoulder while he continued to drink the liquid quickly.
"That doesn't explain why you were in the caves in the first place Clark." Freezing immediately, the teen lowered his head to the ground and placed the beaker on the cabinet while he turned away once again to avoid any eye contact with the man.
"I need to get ready for school." He mumbled and started walking away when his father grabbed him, "Clark we're not through here, I want to know why you were down in the caves!" Clark yanked his arm away from him,
"What does it matter why I was down in the caves? It's none of your business anyway!" Clark ran upstairs and slammed the bathroom door. Jonathan sighed looking over at Martha sadly. "I know something happened down there Martha, why won't he tell us?"
All Martha could do was stare at him wretchedly and shrug as she sat down in the chair that was already pulled out from the table and blew air through his cheeks while Jonathan leaned against the cabinet and ran his hands down his face. Something had happened, he knew it. He could tell when something was wrong with his son. The bad part was he didn't know what it was, and the boy wasn't going to tell him. Sighing, he walked away from his wife and back outside, prepared to do his chores while he wondered what was wrong with Clark.
Clark walked down the halls of Smallville High in a daze as he thought about what happened last night, not even listening to what Chloe was saying. "Hello....Clark......earth to Clark!" Clark looked down at her,
"Sorry Chloe, what were you saying?"
"I was saying.......maybe we could meet over at the Talon and study for that math test." Clark shrugged, "Okay, what time?"
"I was thinking maybe around five? but if you need to do your chores first, we can go with a different time."
Clark shook his head, "Five sounds good."
The shrill sound of the bell filled their ears as they ended the conversation. Chloe smiled, "Alright Clark see you."
Watching her walk down the halls, Clark exhaled loudly and pulled his backpack up on his shoulder, turning around and blowing air through his cheeks as he walked into his classroom where everyone was sitting down, including his best friend who waved for him to sit down next to him.
As soon as he took a seat though, his head fell down to the desk and his mouth uncontrollably let out a loud yelp. The teacher didn't notice but everyone else did, especially Pete who looked at him confused when he rubbed his head sorely and observed his friend scribble down words down on a piece of blank notebook paper and crumble it up into a ball, throw it at him, and allow him to open it up and read what he had wrote.
Dude, you look like an elephant just stomped all over you!
Slowly turning his head over to him, Clark gave him a glare that looked almost deadly, hearing him try to hold back his chuckle and even cover his mouth to do so as he wrote something else down on another piece of paper and throw it at him again, paying no attention to the looks he got.
No offense and all though
Sighing, the farm boy grabbed his pencil and wrote a few words on the paper that was already crushed up, folding it up neatly this time and handing it over to his friend without anyone noticing. He thanked himself for all the practice he got in the fifth grade at this time with passing note since the teacher looked straight at him when he gave it to Pete too.
Pete opened the note as soon as he was sure the teacher wasn't looking anymore.
Something happened last night.
Pete gave Clark a questioning look then wrote something down and passed it back to Clark he opened the note
What happened?
Quickly Clark scribbled a few more words on the paper and passed it back
I'll tell you later. Chloe and I are meeting over at the Talon and we're going to study for a math test with Lana. Come by and I'll tell you what happened.
Pete looked over at Clark and nodded.

Looking back over at the teacher, the teen sighed and stuffed the papers in his desk, closing his eyes and gently allowing his head to lower down to the wood as he closed his eyes and felt the sweet pleasure of silence and slumber overtake him. And for the rest of the class that's how he was, fast asleep on the desk snoring lightly while the world around him disappeared.
Clark found himself back down in the caves staring at the wall. The key was already in place but nothing was happening. Clark sighed in relief and started walking away when a booming voice filled the air.
"Kal-El your time is up." Clark spun around and glared at the wall. "What do you mean?" There was no answer he slammed his fist into the wall, and suddenly everything around him lit up in a dark blue illumination.
"What the hell do you want now?" This time there was a response. "You must decide who is most important to you Kal-El and that time has come." Clark turned around to see Lana and Chloe staring at him both of them smiling.
He wiped around to stare at the wall again. "Why are you doing this to me?"
"You have two loves in your life Kal-El, you must choose which one is more important to you. If you do not by sundown, life as you know it will change forever." There was a bright light and a shrill ringing of a bell Clark woke from his sleep to find everyone leaving trying as fast as they could to get out of the school and home. Clark was confused for a few minutes until he remembered that he needed to talk Chloe after school. He slowly stood up and walked out the door and down to the Torch.
