Chapter 4: Fight for Life
My fist connects with the side of Clark's jaw, sending him flying 20 feet away into a large oak tree, the tree snaps and falls on top of him. A grin finds its way onto my face, and then suddenly disappears as I see the tree begin to lift off the ground. Clark stood up and swung the tree at me, connecting with my chest sending me flying to hit the rock wall 40 feet away.
I slowly got up, that last one hurt… my inner self burned with fury that would make the sun seem cold. I super sped over to him, grabbed him by the throat and threw him high into the air. As he began his decent back to earth, I jumped and fly directly into him, grabbed his leg and sling shotted him back to the ground, causing the earth crack on impact.
I slowly came back down, when I was hit with a searing hot beam of heat, I screamed in pain as I fell the rest of the way to the ground. Clark stood up and slowly stalked his way over to me, I could feel his pain, his anger, and his sadness. He picked me up and launched me 30 feet to crash into and completely obliterate another oak tree. I slowly stood realizing he was stronger than expected.
I super sped in front of him and punched him directly in the throat; he coughed and wheezed as he fell to the ground. I grabbed him by his shirt and threw him through a large amount of smaller trees. When I looked into my hand, I realized his shirt had torn off. "He needed a knew wardrobe anyway." A small smile started to sneak onto my face.
I concentrated to see Clark but dust and debris were scattered everywhere blocking my field of view, when I noticed a shadow coming through it was too late; his fist had already connected with my face.
I could feel my nose crunch and my eyes water, just before falling to the ground my foot came up and connected underneath his jaw sending him flying into the sky, only to come crashing back down. I got up, and wobbled a bit, that last hit sure took its toll on me, but it looked as thought Clark was having the same problems.
I grinned and slowly made my way over to him, and with my last ounce of strength, I uppercutted him underneath his jaw, making his head snap backwards. I saw his eyes roll back into his head, and I smiled.
I felt incredibly dizzy and my eyes rolled back into my head, and all I saw was darkness.
As I came to, I heard rustling around me, then voices. "Clark!" My senses returned after hearing the voices, I knew I had to get out of there. I got up as fast as I could, and sped in the direction of Alicia's body… tears came back to my eyes as I saw her laying there, and it was my fault…
I reached down and picked up her body, and leapt into the air, flying to somewhere safe. I soared over Smallville, looking for a proper burial spot, and found one, in a small graveyard that was on top of a hill overlooking the town. I set down, and started working on digging her grave right away. Every scoop of dirt I dug, it stung my heart, I was digging the grave of my dear sweet Alicia… and it was my fault she was dead…
When I had finished digging, I placed Alicia's body in the hole, and began to cover it. When her grave was completely covered, I sped off in search of a proper tombstone. I found it at a nearby church, it wasn't being used, and hadn't been written on yet, so I grabbed it and sped back to Alicia's grave. I placed the large angelic tombstone on the ground, and began using my heat vision to carve an inscription.
Alicia Baker
1987-2005
May her fellow angels protect her from harm
Bloody tears began to run freely down my face, and landed on her grave… she would forever be known as my angel of mercy, she loved someone who no one else could…
I pulled my hood up, and just continued staring at her grave, the tears still running from my eyes. My head suddenly felt 3 times too small. My vision blurred and I became dizzy, and then next thing I saw was darkness…
Suddenly the darkness was broken, by a pure white light that came from the sky. Someone floated down towards me, I squinted to try and see better along with keep the light out of my eyes, my eyes popped open wide when I saw… and angel… my angel…
