CHAPTER 4

Clark slowly chuckles deep inside his chest. He is looking at her face like he is seeing her for the first time. He slowly makes them head towards the old oak tree they shared a picnic together under. He is have fun, but is still so worried what she might do. As they start moving foward she shrieks again and hugs him even tighter, closeing her eyes.

'How is he doing this, it has to be the metor rocks.' She thinks to herself. 'I knew he was affected by them.' But something didn't seem right,it seemed like a piece of the puzzel was still missing. This was all so terrifying to her, the man she knew she loved was one of the freaks she had hated for as long as she could remember. She knew she could never hate Clark, and this shed some much light on alot of the unexplained parts of Clark Kent.

He felt her grip his neck even tighter. He knew alot of things were running through her mind. She would finally put two and two together and realize he had been in the truck when the tornado had destroyed her truck. How he was able to defeat all of those other people who had tried to hurt her or his other friends. He knew this was explaining alot to her, but all in the wrong direction, as much as he wanted to let it stay here he had to tell her the truth all of it. He could only hope that once he did she wouldn't look at him like he was some kind of freak. Or worse like he was the true cause of her perents death.

"Clark what is happening here, how are you doing this?" She asks him.

"Lana, wait i will explain all in time." He tells her as he slowly moves them down to the ground,under the oak tree.

Once her feet hit the ground she jumps away from him and looks at him with scared eyes. She knows it isn't right to look that way, but can't help it, they just came two miles in about a minute and they did it in the air. She suddenly realizes the truck, it was him, he is the reason why she walked away with only a slight concustion. How many other things was she blind too, what else should she have noticed as out of place. The scared look in her eyes slowly goes away and one of triupth comes to her eyes. Finally i know his secert.

Clark is looking on with a worried expression on his face.. He sees the scared look in her eye, but then it is replaced by one of wonder and then triumpth. He was so worried that she was scared of him, could it be possible for her to except him as he is, for who he is. An alien.

"Clark that was so cool what else did they give you?" She asks.

"Lana you don't know the whole story yet, i didn't lie to you, when i said i wasn't infected by the metor rocks."

"What do you mean Clark we just flew through the air with only me and you no help from anything else. If you didn't get the abilities you have from the rocks then where?" Lana asks him.

"Funny you should ask me that. I will tell you but you have to stay calm, no freaking out ok." Clark says

"Yeah i can do that trust me i think i handled flying ok don't you?" She asks.

"Well kinda, i thought you were going to break my neck there for a second." he tells her with a smile.

"Hey it was kinda scary looking down with nothing below us." She defends herself.

"Ok, i'll give you that. Ok look here goes you want to know everything right?"

"Yes Clark don't you think i deserve at least that much?"

"Yeah you do. Well to tell you the truth, iam not from around here. I come from a place called Krypton. I was sent here in a ship my real parents put me in. All i know about my planet is that it no longer exists, and my parents did this to me so at least one member of our race would servive. I have the ability to fly, run really fast, shoot fire from my eyes, i am rally strong, and i have X-ray vision. i know this sounds a little fer fetch but it isn't. I arrived on Earth the day of the metor shower. It was part of my planet that killed your parents. If it hadn't been for my parets chooseing Earth as the place for them to send me, your parents might still be alive and you might be better off." Clark tells her finally getting it off his chest.

"Clark, why are you telling me this elobarte tell just to hide the fact that the metor rocks did this to you? Do you think if i know they did i would be scared you would freak out and hurt me?" Lana asks him not believing him.

"Lana it is the truth. Everything i just said is the truth. I can show you my ship if i have to." clark said.

"You're telling me the truth aren't you? You really are from another planet. You are an alien, and because you came here my parents died?" She asks him as it starts to sink in.

"Yes Lana, i am telling you the truth about all of it. I am sorry you lost your parents because of me. I wish i could do something to change that part of it." Clark says.

Lana is stareing at him in disbeliefe, if it is truew then his arrival on Earth ruined her life. How can she live with this knowlage? He is the reason she lost them. this can't be happening how can she ever accept him with htis knowlage? She has to get away to think, she needs time by herself.

"Clark take me back to my car, i need to be alone right now." She tells him.

"I understand Lana, i will take you back." He says with a sad look on his face. this is what he was affraid of all along.

Once they arrive in the farm yard she immeditaly walks to her car and leaves. She just can't be around him right now, she has to think. Clark Kent the all american boy an alien, and the reason for her perents death. That is alot to handle.

Clark stands there and watches her leave, he knew it was a risk but he had to take it. He can only hope she comes back, at least to talk. With tearsin his eyes he walks back into the barn returning to his Fartress of Solitude.
