Isobel slowly opened her eyes. It took her a couple seconds to remember exactly what had happened. Lana had broken free. It couldn't happen again. She stood up and went into the bathroom. It was still a bit foggy from when Clark was in the shower. She wiped all of the fog from the mirror and looked at herself. She was quite the mess. Her hair was in complete disarray. She had tears streaks on her face. Even her tanktop was on wrong. She turned on the faucet and washed off her face. When she looked back in the mirror she jumped a bit. Clark was standing behind her. He put his arms around her and embraced her from behind. Isobel turned around and hugged him back. Clark ran his arms up and down her back. Since Isobel was reaching up so high her tanktop came up a bit. This exposed her tattoo. Clark glanced in the mirror and it caught his eye. He ran his hands over it. When did Lana get a tattoo?

"Are you feeling better now?" Isobel nodded. "What happened to you?" Isobel thought it would be best to pretend like nothing had happened because she didn't want him to find out anything. She shook her head. "Lana, you ran in here crying when I was in the shower. Something happened."

"Clark I don't want to talk about it." Clark raised his eyebrows at this. Normally Lana would've told him, no matter what it was.

"Just tell me." the way he looked at her. She couldn't deny him an answer even if it wasn't the truth.

"This morning, my whole day was horrible and I just needed you." she broke eyecontact and buried her face in his chest. Now, he felt bad for pressuring her.

"How about a movie?" Clark asked as he tried to put things on a lighter note. Clark put in 'The Ring 2'. He sat down on the couch as Isobel sat next to him. As the movie progressed she moved closer and closer until both she and Clark were laying down. His head was on the arm rest and hers was on a pillow in front of his chest. He wrapped his arm around her and she entwined her fingers with his. Clark was surprise that Lana wasn't scared of the movie at all. When the movie finally ended Clark stood up and turned off the tv. Lana was asleep. Clark went into the kitchen to get something to drink. He glanced back at the couch and Lana wasn't there anymore.

He felt two small hands on his shoulders. He turned around to see Lana looking up at him. She reached up and kissed him. Her hands roamed all over his back and his rested on her hips. She moved from his lips to his neck. Isobel pulled away and Clark looked down at her. He picked her up and went to his bedroom. Isobel sat on his bed and took off her shirt. He took off his shirt as well. He layed down over her and kissed her.

"I love you." he said to her in between kisses. Clark pulled her skirt down and she undid his belt. Isobel could feel how much love he had for her, or rather how much love he had for Lana. She could also feel something else, his power. He was no ordinary man. She didn't think that he was even human. She looked up at his face. He was in a state of pure bliss as was she. She could feel herself reaching the end. As Clark reached his end he didn't move. He stayed on top of Isobel and kissed her forehead.

"Je t'aime." Isobel uttered before falling asleep. Clark was confused at this. He didn't know that Lana spoke french. She went to Paris and all but she spoke french too? He was perplexed. Clark rolled over and tried to sleep. He decided to deal with this the next day. However, sleep wouldn't come to him that night. Instead he sat on the edge of the bed thinking.

Why did Lana even go to Paris? Clark thought about this for a few good minutes. It was that witch, to study that witch. What was her name? Isabella? No it was Isobel. Isobel Thoreaux. He wished that he had half of the reporters wit that Chloe had. He'd reached a dead end.

Then Lana stirred in her sleep, she rolled on her side and revealed her tattoo to Clark. He looked at it. It looked so familiar. Where had he seen it before? It was a symbol from somewhere. He thought for a couple of minutes before finally finding the answer. That symbol, it was form the caves. He knew that he'd seen it before. He put on some clothes, grabbed a flash light, and supersped to the caves. He looked at the symbol. It was the same one on Lana's back. He reached up and touched it. As soon as he did he got alot of flashbacks. There was a woman who looked just like Lana, she was saying something in latin. Two men grabbed her and tied her to a wooden stake. She spit up something on a book and the people began to burn her. Clark was so confused. Who was this woman? He thought about getting Chloe involved again, but then decided that it would make things more complicated.

He decided to simply walk back to the loft. He didn't even bother to use his speed. He sat up in the loft wondered exactly what was going on. He could ask Lana. No, then she would ask him how he knew about Isobel and such. He had to figure this out on his own. He stayed up in the loft all night contemplating his next move.

The next morning Isobel sat up in Clarks bed. Where was he? She shrugged it off and went into the bathroom. She knew that she had to find out more about Clark and the things that he was hiding from her because there were many and she knew it. Isobel put on one of Clark's t-shirts and went downstairs. He wasn't there. Maybe he was in the loft. She walked out into the barn. Sure enough he was sitting on the couch.

"Lana." he stood up.

"Why are you out here?"

"I couldn't sleep."

"Oh." she came up to stand by him and kissed him. Clark noticed it now: her kisses were different. He slightly pulled away, she was different last night as well. "What?" she asked. He shook his head.

"I have to go and get dressed at home and then I'll be back." he nodded his head in a reply. She kissed his cheek and he didn't even acknowledge it.

Isobel went into Lana's apartment and closed the door. She looked for her spellbook. She'd finally found it underneath one of the couch cushions. She flipped a few pages. Then she'd found what she was looking for. It was all in Latin but it literally read 'memory spell'. It was a spell used to obtain someone elses memories. She wanted Clark's memories. She needed to know what he was. She bookmarked that page and then looked for another spell. She flipped through another few pages. This next spell would take exactly one week to make. It was called 'permanent posession'. The ingredients read:
1 hair from the person being posessed, Isobel pulled a piece of her/Lana's hair out.
4 cloves, she got them from the kitchen.
1 drop of spit from person being posessed, she spit into a cup.
5 drops of blood from the person that they loved, now this one was going to be hard to get. The spell required the blood because if not then the person who was being posessed would still have something to hold onto and to fight for.
The last indredient was a good amount of holy water, this was going to be hard since she couldn't enter churches.

Isobel put the ingredients that she had together and let them simmer over the fire in the fireplace. They had to simmer for 1 week until they liquified. She decided to get the rest later. She read what she needed for the memory spell. She needed to drink a bit of Clark's blood and say a spell immediately after. She could kill two birds with one stone with this one.

Clark walked back into the house and realized that Lana had forgotten her purse. He picked it up and supersped over to her apartment. He was about to open the door but he thought that it would be pointless to open it if she wasn't there so he used his x-ray vision instead. She was in there. She was reading a book, that book! That spell book. Clark decided to check it out later. He went back to his house and waited for Lana to get there. When she did he was going to superspeed to her apartment and see what was in that spell book. Clark was very anxious. He was both nervous and excited to get over there. Soon he saw Lana pull up in the driveway. That was his cue.

Clark tried to open the door. It was locked. He decided to go in through the window. He didn't want Lana to know that he had been there. He walked over to the book and opened it. Inside the cover it read Isobel Marguerite Thoreaux. He opened it more and saw the page with the dried blood on it. This was definitely Isobel's book. There were two bookmarked pages as well. He read them both. He was taken aback by what the first one read. He figured that she was going to use this spell on him. The second was the posession spell. He didn't know what this one was for. Maybe Isobel was posessing Lana somehow? No, is that even possible? Then he reminded himself that he was in Smallville. He flipped through the pages until he came across something called a banishing spell. He heard someone getting out of their car. It was Lana. He ripped out the page and climbed out the window.

He stayed there on the fire escape for a couple of minutes to see if Lana would do anything. He used his x-ray vision to see what was going on. Lana was about to sit down but she suddenly got up, rushed to the bathroom and threw up. "Quel suis-je allant faire?"( that means what am I going to do?... I think it does anyway, sorry guys my french is horrible!) Clark didn't know what that meant but he knew that something was wrong. He sped home and tucked the paper under his bed. He needed a way to figure out if his assumption was correct. Was it Lana or Isobel?
