Another great part Sara!
Lois watched Clark hit the floor. The sickening thud... flesh against concrete... pain. She could almost feel it. A vague sense of throbbing in her head. A ghost of a knife ripping through her stomach.
That has got to hurt. Since Lois can feel some of the pain Clark is feeling, I guess the connection they share has its downsides. The imagery is quite vivid. Even just reading it I winced a little bit.
Her stomach lurched. She couldn't breathe. They'd found her. The walls started closing in. They'd found her. She couldn't breathe. Everything started swimming. She choked out a breath. They'd found her..
This would be one of those “Oh sh..oot” moments. Loved the repetition of “They’d found her.” It made the paragraph more intense. I was glad to see that when Lois realized the attackers were for former captors she didn’t completely shut down. She tried to fight back. Even though she was unsuccessful, at least she didn’t let her paralyzing fear get the best of her.
Lois opened her eyes, and her vision swam. She could barely make out the shape of Clark being dragged through the door before everything went black.
Obvious statement of the post: Things aren’t looking to good for them right now.
Before she could blink, Pete grabbed her, and his lips collided with her mouth, slanted against hers and... He... she... he was... kissing her. And... it was actually kind of... No!
I like the interplay between Pete and Elle. I have a feeling that soon they will enter the main plot.
The action and tension are building! Keep up the great work!
