Finding Light in Darkness

Betrayal

Lillianna made her way back to the Kent farm some hours later. It was already getting dark when she came to the end of the driveway to make her way to the house. She stopped when she saw a dark colored van pull up near her. She turned and was surprised when several men stepped from the van dressed in black. She backed up and raised her hands and two of the men flew away from her, two more grabbed her arms another injected something into her. Lillianna tried to throw them off her before she lost consciousness. They lifted her into the van just as Clark came down the driveway to see what was taking her so long to come home.  He saw them pull Lillianna into the van.
"Lillianna! Dad come here" Clark headed down the driveway to get to the van. It tore off away from the farm, Clark stood for a second and looked at his dad.
"What's wrong?"
"Someone just grabbed Lilly."
"What?"
"I got down here just as they were taking off with her."
"Go, I'll call the sheriff."
"It was a black van. Problem is I thought I saw Luthorcorp written on the van."
"Just go."
Clark nodded and headed off in the direction the van had gone. He finally found where the van had stopped, he looked around and moved closer to the van. He looked in the back windows and saw that she still lay on the floor of the van. He slowly opened the door and reached inside pulling her towards him. Once she was close enough he lifted her into his arms and took off. Clark stopped in a wooded area and lowered her down to the ground.  He heard sirens in the distance knowing the sheriff would be there soon. But he wasn't willing to leave her alone. Once a car got close enough Clark waved down the sheriff's car.
"We need to get her to the hospital."
"Yes."
"Get in Mr. Kent. I will let your parents know where to pick you both up."
Clark leaned down and picked Lillianna back up and lay her in the backseat he slid in with her and lay her head in his lap. He moved her hair from her face.
"Do you know where the vehicle is Mr. Kent?"
"Yes I do, I can show you sheriff." Clark said from the backseat.
"As soon as we take Miss Blackwell to the hospital you can show me where then I will take you back so your parents can pick you up from there."
"Alright." Clark knew that meant they would go back out. They took Lillianna into the er to be checked and he prayed she didn't come around before he was able to get back. He looked up before he left with the sheriff and saw his parents.
"I have to show the sheriff where I found Lilly but she's still unconscious I am not liking the idea of her waking up and becoming confused."
"Well take care of it." Johnathan told his son.

Clark returned about twenty minutes later and looked at his parents.
"She's not awake yet but they are going to move her into a regular room until she does."
"Can I sit with her?"
"If the doctor says you can." Martha said, they turned as the doctor came out from the back.
"Miss Blackwell has been moved to her own room. We aren't sure what she was given. So we aren't sure how long she will be unconscious."
"Is it alright if I go and sit with her?" Clark asked. He felt because he had upset her after school that day it was the reason she had been grabbed. And if he found out his friend had anything to do with it he would never forgive him. Clark looked over to see Lex coming into the hospital.
"Clark."
"Lex we need to talk." Clark said taking his friend aside. Lex looked at him oddly.
"What happened?"
"Well that is something just I need to know. The people that grabbed Lilly drove a black van that said Luthorcorp on the side. Do you know about that?"
"No, I will look into it. Was she hurt?"
"They gave her something but the doctor doesnt know what. They are waiting for her to wake up."
"Seems it's good you found her?"
"Yeah lucky. Let me know if you find anything I am going to go sit with her." Clark walked down the hallway to Lillianna's room. Lex watched his friend walk away and pulled his phone from his pocket.
"Are you stupid?"
"No sir. We didnt realize she was gone until the sheriff arrived."
"How many of you idiots got arrested?"
"All but me. Mr. Luthor we cant do it again they wont let her out of their sight."
"Fine."
"We did get some blood from her though."
"Good." Lex hung up his phone and headed the rest of the way out of the hospital, Clark watched his friend leave and for some odd reason had a feeling he was lying to him.
Clark walked into the room and pulled up a chair next to the bed, he jumped slightly when the door to the room opened and Chloe entered.
"How is she?"
"No injuries but they aren't sure what she was given so they have to wait until she wakes. I told my parents I wanted to sit with her."
"Clark it's not your fault she got grabbed."
"She would have been out so long if she hadn't been mad me. I have made so many bad choices this last year."
"It will get better Clark give it time. Give her time."
"You going to stick around? "
"I'll call and check on her later. If they send her home before morning call me."
"I will. Bye Chloe."

Clark yawned and stretched trying to stay awake it had been three hours since they had brought her in and she still hadn't woke up. He lay his head down on the edge of the bed and dozed off. Lillianna opened her eyes, at first she was afraid but noticed she was in a hospital then she looked next to her to see Clark sitting there, his head resting on the bed. She ran her fingers through his short brown hair. He suddenly raised up and looked at her.
"You're awake."
"Yeah just now. Thanks for being here. How did I get here?"
"I found you in a black van, got you away from it the sheriff found us brought you here. We've been here for three hours waiting for you to wake up."
"You the only one?"
"My parents were here, Chloe stopped by."
"Do I get to leave?"
"I could go ask." Clark said standing, he peeked out of the room and motioned for one of the nurses the nurse entered the room.
"Miss Blackwell it's good to see you awake. Let me go get the doctor."
"She wants to know when she can leave."
"As long as the doctor finds nothing wrong she can leave in an hour."
"Thank you."
They both waited and a doctor entered the room. He walked over and checked Lillianna and made sure everything looked ok.
"I cant seem to see anything wrong we could run some tests if you would like?"
"No thank you. I just want to go home."
"If that is what you want I will get the paperwork done."
"Thank you."
Lillianna waited until the doctor left and looked at Clark.
"At least I don't need to change."
"Good point. I'll call my folks to come get us." Clark said picking up the small phone next to the bed. Once the paperwork was done they walked outside and waited until Johnathan got there. Lillianna looked over at Clark, she saw something new in him.
