A fatefull meeting

Jenna was running as fast as she could. I must hide, she thought. Jenna would fly- but there was still daylight. She couldn't risk someone seeing her that way. Now Jenna was in pain- and out of breath. The day was her weakness. There was only so long she could take it. She jumped a fence and spotted a farmhouse. Perfect, she thought, I can hide there. She felt the sun peiching through her. It was reaching its peak. I can make it, she thought, I can...

Clark was driving home after school. His mind was fighting. He knew he had to break up with Lana tonight. He had tried to hard to make her feel comfortable. But nothing worked, she always ended up asking him about the suspicios happenings involving him. He used to think it was worth it, that Clark was hopelessly in love with her. Lately he'd been doubting that. He was beginning to think he was meant to be alone. For eternity. After parking his truck, he started towards the farmhouse. He spotted a figure on the ground, beside a bush. As Clark got closer, he saw it was a girl on the floor. Her eyes were closed. Clark sped towards her, and picked her up.

She's burning, he thought.

He brought her into the farmhouse and lay her down. Clark examined her, and was taken back by her beauty.

And I thought Lana was gorgeous, Clark thought.

Lana was nothing compared to this girl. This girl had long caramel colored hair, and olive skin. Clark tried to catch his breath, and began to panic. What if she didn't wake up? What if she did? What would Clark say? Clark wondored who she was, and why she was here.

I can't let my parents see her yet, thought Clark.

He picked her up, and sped up the stairs to the loft. Laying her on his couch, she began to move. The girl moaned slightly, and her eyes fluttered. Clark touched her cheek- and felt she was cooling. She had been dangerously hot before. Clark watched as the girls eyes opened. The girl gasped and tried to sit up.

"Jeez calm down." Clark said.

"Who- who are you" asked the girl, staring at him.

"I think I get to ask you that. Since this is my home." Clark replied.

"I-I can't tell you who I am" The girl said. "I should go"

Clark shot up. "You can't go anywhere. You were burning up before. I think your very sick."

"No I'm fine that just happens sometimes" said the girl trying to explain. She tried to lift herself.

"See" Clark said softly. "Your to weak to even get up..."

The girl stared at him again. "You look so familiar"

"I do?" Clark asked.

The girl nodded. "Whats your name"

"I told you- I get your name you get mine" Clark said.

The girl smiled weakly. "I really can't- and once I regain my strength I'll be out of here."

"DO you live around here?" asked Clark.

The girl shook her head."so whats this town called anyway?"

"You don't even know where you are?" Clark said, eyebrows raised. "This is Smallville" Clark said opening his window.

The girl shrunk down- hiding from the light. "Shut it" she pleaded.

Clark was amazed. He shut the window quickly. The girl stood- but quickly began to fall. Clark sped and caught her.

"How" she gasped. "Did you do that."

"Do what" asked Clark, playing dumb. "I'm going to get you some water."

Clark sped away, and returned. He handed her the glass of water, sitting next to her.

"Thank you." She said, brushing back her hair to reveal an interesting symbol on her neck. Clark was taken back, for he'd seen that symbol before.

Seeing this the girl placed her hand over it protectively.

"Sorry- its just I've seen that before..." Said Clark.

The girl shook her head. "That's impossible- this symbol has been lost for more than a 500 years."

"I have" Clark insisted. 'I can show it to you, too"

"Show it to me?" inquired the girl.

Clark nodded. "When you get your strength back."

"No" she said immediately. "I want to see it now."

"Well we have to walk there..." Clark tried to explain. "In the sun"

The girl stood- wobbling a bit. "Do you have a blanket. I can cover myself."

"Okay- but you can't walk" Clark pointed out.

"I can try-" The girl began to fall.

Clark caught her. "I can see your anxious- SO I'll carry you"

She was light, and clung on to him. She seemed to afraid of every noise they came upon. Clark took her down into the caves.

"Woah" she breathed.

"I know, this is where I spend most of my time." Clark said gazing around.

"These symbols tell a story" She said when Clark set her down.

My story, thought Clark.

"Now lets see if I can find that symbol..."Clark said.

The girl was speaking, sort of to herself. "Someone as strong as steel- shoots fire from his eyes...As fast as light from the sky..."

Clark looked at her.

"I know this story. My mother told me it right before..." The girl shuddered.

"Did your mother die...?" asked Clark softly.

"Yes" she sighed, looking at him.

"I never knew my real parents." Clark said.

'You were adopted?" asked the girl.

"Well yes" Clark said. He began searching again. "I can't believe you know this story. Maybe your mom visited these caves or something"

"No...I don't think so. It was a story that had been passed down."

"That's weird" Clark said to himself. Then he spotted the symbol. "Here it is"

The girl studied it quickly. "It matches my scar perfectly..."

"That's a scar? It looks like a tattoo" Clark remarked.

"I know- its weird. But they're are a lot of things in my life that are weird"

"your telling Me" Clark muttered.

"This symbol is next to the one of that superhuman symbol like I saw before"

"Maybe it means your meant to meet him or something" Clark suggested. Maybe meeting this girl was meant to be.

"My name is Jenna" said the girl turning to him.

"I'm Clark Kent" Clark said smiling slightly. "How you feeling?"

"Much better...The daylight weakens me" Jenna said, then throwing a concerned look over said "Sensitive skin"

"extremely- I was scared you were dying or something" Clark confessed.

"Thanks for helping me Clark." Jenna said smiling at him., and placing the blanket over her head.

"What were you doing in my farmhouse?"

"Running'"replied Jenna.
