THE POWER TO LIVE

CHAPTER SIX

"Today your life will change…it will never again be your own. Do you understand Lois?"

"No! I don't understand any of this…but it doesn't matter!

Be careful Lois of your emotions Lois...you must understand that after this your life will no longer be your own...But Kal-el's

"I don't care! Look, If you know how to bring him back, then let's just do it!"

"Very well…First you must step into the portal on the pedestal…you will need to be strong enough to open the mausoleum, and fast enough to do this within the hour. The portal will give you powers…but they will only last a few hours."

She said nothing but went to the pedestal and stood, and then she was surrounded by light and heat and she felt electricity pulsing through her, when it was done, she almost fell when the transparent wall lifted.
Steadying herself, she walked away from the pedestal and looked up at the ice ceiling.

"Now what?"

"You must remove him and bring him into the sun, and place the pyramid on him, it will take moments for him to come too, and then you must bring him here. Don't let anything or anyone stop you."

"Got it…Now how do I get out of here?"

"You have a bracelet;you MUST put it on your left wrist. Then I will send you back."

She raised an eyebrow and put it on as he instructed. Another moment and she was back in the cave staring at Shelby while he was barking at her. When she tried to run toward him, she ran right past him and out of the cave in what seemed like a fraction of a second.

"Whoa!" She said in disbelieve. Smiling for the first time in a while, she took off toward Clark's grave. And for the first time in month's she wasn't bringing a rose."

She was the only one that he could hear and feel. She never left him. He would have drowned from loneliness if it weren't for her.

He found her in her dreams. At first, he thought it was by accident, and then later, he willed his way into her mind. He couldn't take it. She was there, grieving for him. He never would have guessed. He began to try to comfort her. And then he began to touch her and hold her, and then he began to kiss her.

He was trapped in a state of unconsciousness alone with his thoughts-and it was the worst kind of hell.

Guilt and regrets were his only friends until he started hearing her.

Her emotions were so strong that it was impossible for him not to reach out to her. When he found a way into her mind, he felt the sweetest relieve. It gave him hope.

It also made her his obsession. Something he never imagined would happen. But there it was. And then it hit him, maybe he could have her find the key to the cave…if she could contact Jor-el, then maybe Jor-el could free him. And then he started trying to contact her nightly. It was easier then he thought.

Sensing it was night, he began reaching out with his mind, and found she was not asleep.

Alone, he felt alone when he could not reach her. He felt as if life was over but he didn't stop trying. Hours later he let him self slip…he wasn't going to see her, not tonight.
And then it happened. Light and warmth….

"What the hell?" he heard himself say
