Chapter 16
The artic wind's effects ran down Clark's spine as he fought as hard as his mortal limbs allowed him to scour forward towards what he hoped was the fortress.
He had been walking for hours now which he now wasn't shore as his watch had frozen only an hour to landing with the help of his parachute.
There was also another issue he had to deal with.
He didn't even know if he was going the right direction but his heart was leading the way now as he felt deep down that the way he was walking to would lead him to Lois.
He knew in this current situation if he remained human his body would experience hypothermia sooner than he thought as the cold blizzard hit him hard making him fall backwards down the hill he was attempting to climb.
He rolled uncontrollably down till the incline levelled out and his body remained still as he said this out loud shivering through his tone.
"This…is…Impossible"
But as soon as he said that her voice came through to him as clear as day.
Anything's possible Clark…
He remembered those words she told him what felt like only yesterday as he began to move as he once more struggled to get to his feet.
"What if I can't find you?!" he spoke urgently as he was now on his knee's.
I can look after myself Smallville
"I didn't say you couldn't…Its just…I need you Lois…"
He didn't realise he was on his feet and beginning the perolous journey back up the steep hill while he was battling his inner conscious which was replaying words that Lois had told him that he could never truly forget.
Of course you would…I'm the highlight of your life…
He was struggling once more as the artic gale blew hard against him but her voice was there as his anchor.
Come on Smallville…Move It!!!
Clark paced quickened as he was now virtually sprinting as fast as his tired legs would carry him.
He reached the peak and breathed in heavily as he was out of breath.
When he finally regained what composure he had left he spoke with a chattering smile.
"Thanks Lois…"
As he ran over the peak and down the other side of the small mountain as he heard her in his mind concluding.
That's what I'm here for Smallville…one save at a time
