Author's note:
For those who are confused, Vanessa died of a rare disease from her home
planet. When she came to earth she was already showing symptoms. Hope this
clear it up for you, but if you're still confused let me know.
Chapter 8 ~~~~~
(Mrs. K is in her husbands arms crying and Clark has tears coming down his face. The doctor moves over to them.)
Doctor: I'm sorry, but we did everything we could.
(Mr. K nods and the doctor and nurses exit.)
Mr. K: Clark, I...
Clark: I need to be alone right now.
(Clark walks out of the room and walks into Pete.)
Pete: Clark, are you ok?
(Clark shakes his head.)
Clark: Vanessa died.
Pete: I'm sorry, man.
Clark: I'm going to...get some fresh air.
Pete: Do you want any company?
Clark: I think I just need to be alone for a while.
(Pete nods.)
Pete: I'll be at the Talon latter if you need to talk.
Clark: Thanks.
(Pete watch as Clark exits the hospital. Pete turns to find Mr. and Mrs. K talking with a doctor.)
Mrs. K: What are you talking about? How could she be missing?
Pete: Mrs. Kent what's going on?
Mrs. K: Someone took Vanessa.
Pete: Someone ran off with Vanessa's body?
Mrs. K: How can you let someone just run off with a body.
Doctor: Mrs. Kent, this document says that the body never left this hospital.
Mr. K: Then where is she?
Doctor: I assure you Mr. Kent we are doing everything in our power to figure that out.

(Clark is looking up at the sky, when he hears footsteps behind him.)
Woman's voice: Hello my son.
(Clark turns.)
Clark: Who's there?
Woman's voice: Someone who loves you very much.
(Clark is silent and unsure weather this new person was a friend for foe.)
Woman's voice: Your father and I never wanted to let you go, but in our hearts we knew we had to. (Pause) Now that Vanessa is gone they will leave earth, never to return.
Clark: You knew Vanessa?
Woman's voice: I did.
Clark: Are you my biological mother?
Woman's voice: Yes, which is why I'm giving you this. (A book drops from the sky.) I know how much you want to know about Krypton.
Clark: What is it?
Woman's voice: I journal is what I believe they call it here. My son I am afraid that I must go, but not before changing everyone's memories.
Clark: So that no one will remember.
Woman's voice: Yes. Remember Clark, Jonathon and Martha are good people. It is my honor to leave my only son with them. Good luck, kal-le. (don't know how to spell Clark's krypton name, sorry.)
Clark: Wait! (His mother doesn't not reply.)
Mrs. K: Clark, dinner's ready!
Clark: (Speeds and ends up in front of his mom.) Mom, look at this. (hands her the journal.)
Mrs. K: (Looks at him weird) The Odyssey? Didn't you read that last year?
(Clark takes a look at the journal once more and sees that the book has changed entirely.)
Clark: Yea I just wanted to let you know I'm reading it again.
Mrs. K: Well that's nice.
(She puts the book down on the table and both Clark and Mrs. K walk off to the dinner table. Once they are sitting at the table the book turns back into a journal.)
THE END
Author's note: Bad ending I know. I just couldn't think of a way to end this story. Anyway thanks to all of those who reviewed, I really appreciated it. As for another Smallville story I don't know. With finals coming up and homework to my ceiling, I think I'll have to put my stories off for a little while. Hope you liked the story.
