Werewolf In Smallville

20: wake up

Clark Kent, it's been a week and Eli's still not woken up, the doctors have Asurred us that he's mostlikely going to wake up in a couple of days, they thought between one week and two would be when he wakes up. Me and Nat haven't left Eli's side, we've actually become closer, she told me about how this all was like for Eli, I told her how he was when he was before he came here, mainly when he was a kid. "Oh my god he told you that?" I laughed, Nat nodded, of course Eli would tell her of the day I suprised him with Lacrosse gear, and how I hit myself in the head when trying to chuck a ball. "Ya, he was really happy when telling it" she said, I rubbed my thumb against Eli's hand, smiling. "I'm glad, I wanted to help him then" I said, seeing him come home, all excited I knew he made the team, and the moment I saw his number I could barely hold back a laugh, of course he got... Scott's number. "Nat, was the Mccall pack really that bad to him?" I asked, I keep on thinking it's impossible, they aren't like that, they never were, especially Scott. "...ya, they were Clark, they made him feel like.. shit, if I ever meet them I am going to kill them" she answered, I had a small smile on my face. "I'm glad he has you" I said, I put my head In my hand for a moment. "I Just wish he had someone for those nine months" I sighed, I know what it's like to feel terrible about yourself, when no one is there for you, it drove me into the arms of a hunter the first time. No, I did that, I wasn't driven into her arms. I went to her, by choice. "Uh-um" noised Nat, I glanced at her, she had a weird look on her face. "What are you not telling me Nat?" I asked, she's told me more secrets about Eli, I understand why he didn't tell me, but it still hurts, why didn't he trust me with it? "I- Just hear me out okay? Don't interrupt" She asked, I nodded. We turned to each other. "He did have one person, Peter" told Nat, I lightly squeezed Eli's hand, and grabbed my wrist with the other. I might break something, it will be myself. "They met in the woods, and Peter bought your's and Eli house for him when he turns eighteen" explained Nat, I rubbed Eli's hand faster. Using our house to manipulate him? "And on Eli's first full moon Peter showed up and helped him and the pack, Eli ended up sneaking out with Peter that night" Continued Nat, I bit the inside of my cheek. "Then a month later, actually the day that Eli found out the Mccall pack hated him" re-said Nat, Peter used this to manipulate Eli! Didn't he?! "Before that, he and Eli were Just.. hanging out" Continued Nat, before Eli found out? "Eli asked why the pack hated him so much, and Peter answered, the truth" said Nat, I raised my eyebrows. "Really? The truth?" I asked, I sorely doubt that. "How he was at fault for paige's death, and the fire" told Nat, I froze, I know she knows everything, but hearing her say my biggest mistakes... "-It wasn't Peter's fault, it was mine" I said, Nat rolled her Eyes. "Clark, Peter manipulated you into being terrified of losing her, leading you being with Kate, now let me finish explaining" told Nat, I always forget that she was raised by a Lois. "Peter reluctantly showed Eli how it was his fault, ya, the claw thing, but Eli did want that to happen" explained Nat, that's dangerous! "Eli gave Peter another chance, and since then, he would sneak out with Peter, try to learn control, learn about you, he had someone, but it was Peter" finished Nat, pinched my nose and sighed. "Did Peter ever hurt him? Any- did you see any signs of manipulation?" I asked, I looked back at her. "He did hurt him, but whilst trying to learn control, which he said was normal" answered Nat, I nodded, that is normal. "and... I don't think so, the way Eli talked about it, Peter took responsibility for everything, and was Just there for Eli, but I can't be sure" she added, I nodded, she's right, we don't know if he didn't. "Thanks Nat, for telling me" I said, I looked at Eli, he needed someone. But why did it have to be Peter? "He did take into account what you told him about, but... he needed to know what you were like when you were younger, not Just that you were a badass, which he already knew" added Nat, I laughed, I was pretty bad ass... when I wasn't being a bad person. "Thanks Nat, it's good he has you... and had Peter" I said, but I don't regret keeping him away from him. Not at all. "I need him too, Clark" She said, we turned away from each other. Why did it have to be Peter?
