Future of Darkness
By Misha
Author's Notes- This is my first attempt at a "Smallville" fanfic, actually my first attempt at anything even vaguely related to "Superman". I don't read the comic books and it's been years since I've seen the movies, so with the exception of "Smallville", I have little knowledge of the characters and their backgrounds. This one was inspired by the end of "Hourglass" and focuses on Lex and his thoughts. The title kind of sucks, but it was all I could up with. Well, that's all for now, enjoy!
Spoilers- Hourglass.

People should never know what their future holds, I know that now.
In theory, I still don't know what my future holds, but... I saw the look on Cassandra's face. It was horrible. Whatever she had seen... It had to be horrible. After all, it caused her to die. I caused her to die.
Still, despite that, a part of me actually wishes I knew what it was that she saw. What it was that was so horrible that just seeing it killed her. Maybe if I knew I could change it.
But, then again, maybe I couldn't. After all, I'm my father's son, that's a pretty big strike against me, isn't it? I mean, how can I really expect my future to be positive when my past was so grim?
Clark is the first light of sunshine my life has seen since my mother died.
Clark.
Is it really wrong that I want to learn the truth about him? I mean, I don't mean any harm by it. I just want to know. I just want to understand.
After all, Clark saved my life, but more than that he brought light back into it.
Clark is probably the only real friend I've ever had. Most people like me because I'm Lex Luther, but Clark... I honestly think he likes me for me. It's a strange feeling, but a nice one. It's good to have a real friend for once.
I don't know what I'd do if something happened to him. But, I'm sure it won't. After all, Clark's managed to save several lives in the last while and nothing has happened to him.
It's almost as if he's invincible, but that's impossible... Nobody's invincible, everyone has at least one weakness. If there's anything that my father's taught me, it's that.
Somewhere, even Clark Kent has a weakness. Somewhere out there, there's something that can hurt him, and that bothers me...
I don't want to lose him. Clark saved my life and I'd do anything to keep his safe. After all, I owe Clark a lot. He saved my life and he saved me from the darkness that was quickly taking over my life.
He saved me from being cold and empty like my father. And, who knows, maybe he'll help save me from whatever it is that Cassandra saw.
I can only hope.
The End
