Chapter 1
Lois walked through the Daily Planet, looking everywhere, wondering where Clark could be in a busy day at work. She was completely tired of Clark's attitude. She didn't even understand how she felt the way she does about him, when he's always keeping things from her. After their breakup during dinner with his mother and Perry White, they had hardly had a real conversation about anything at all. She knew Clark wanted to be with her, and she wanted to be with him, too, but with all those secrets getting between them, it was almost impossible. She decided to give him the space he needed to put his priorities in order.
She was a little bit disturbed because of all the Daily Planet's noise and people messing around with no reason at all. She knew something was going on, but she didn't know what it was exactly. She walked to her computer and saw a new message alert. She wondered who was sending her an e-mail in her last week of work before Christmas. She finished almost everything she had left, and was considering not opening it, but because of the unusual e-mail alert that sounded to her, she opened it.
''ANOTHER ANIMAL ATTACK IN SMALLVILLE''
After that title, an old headline flashed to her mind. She stood up and ran to the basement to check the old files of animal attacks that had happened before in Smallville. She walked in, opened the cabinet and took out the files, and read the titles and all of them were similar to the one she got in her e-mail. She wondered what was really happening. It wasn't possible that it was because of the meteor shower, too. According to the citizens of Metropolis, the only thing that fell in the meteor shower were meteor rocks and those rocks affected people and turned them into meteor freaks.
"Vampires?" she thought out loud.
"I guess so," she heard a voice coming from the door.
"Who are you?" she asked, staring at the handsome, tall, blonde guy with green eyes standing right in front of her.
"Dean Winchester, nice meeting you, Lois Lane," he said, offering his hand to shake hers.
"How do you know my name?" She asked walking towards him.
"Maybe it was because of your ID," he joked.
Right, dumb Lois. She thought, and felt a little bit ashamed.
"Nice to meet you," she said, shaking his hand. While she was shaking his hand, she felt something unusual, maybe something similar to how she feels when she talks to the Blur, but this time it was totally different, because Dean was totally real and was standing right in front of her. She didn't know what to say, because she was totally focused on how gorgeous he was.
"So..." he said, taking her out of her thoughts.
"So, vampires," she said, walking back to the cabinet.
"According to the legend, they are back to take revenge of the injustice committed on their old ancestors," he said, standing next to her.
"Should I ask how do you know all that?" she asked sarcastically.
"Let's say I'm involved in the area," he said, taking the newspaper sharply from her hands. "They've taken over Smallville, and Metropolis as well, because this is the city where the weirdest things happen," he said as he was reading the news.
"So they are just killing people to kill?" She asked, making it sound illogical.
"Miss Lane, just so you know that's what vampires do," he said, making her feel dumb again.
"What are you here for, asshole?" she asked, getting irritated.
"Do you usually label people you just met with that kind of words?" he joked. "You're way too cute to use those words Lane," he said, making her feel a little bit uncomfortable.
"Well, not with everyone," she said, staring at him and thinking how hot he was.
"So that makes me special," he joked.
"In your dreams, Mr. Know it all," she said.
"May I ask why are you here looking into the animals attack files?" he questioned her.
"May I ask what are you doing here? At least I have an excuse. I work here," she said in a mean way.
"So that's your excuse? What's the real reason?" he asked walking towards her, and standing really close to her. They both freaked out when the door suddenly close with no reason. Lois quickly ran to the door and tried to open it, and found it was locked.
"Great." she thought out loud.
"Are we locked in here?" he asked, walking to the door to make sure about it.
"No, never. We are just in a room with no way out," she said sarcastically.
"Really funny Lane," he said. "I need to get out of here. I didn't travel 40 minutes to get stuck in a room with an annoying girl," he thought out loud.
"Annoying girl?" she repeated.
"I didn't mean to say that. Sorry, it's just that I need to get out of here to deal with some stuff," he apologized.
"I'll pretend you didn't use that stupid apology," she said.
Both of them got really irritated when time passed and no one noticed they were missing. Lois was really pissed being in the basement locked with a guy that was keeping an uncomfortable silence for that long. Dean was really annoyed by Lois's constant movement, not being able to stay still longer than 5 minutes.
"Can you sit down?" he argued.
"Can you say something? I hate uncomfortable silences," she replied him.
"Ok, let's talk," he said. "Do you have a boyfriend?"
Lois doubted for a while, but after few seconds she replied with a soft "No."
"That no sounded more like I do, but I don't," he said, staring at the floor.
"Are you always like this? I mean this annoying," she said, while she sat at the floor next to him, and took off her shoes.
"Are you gonna apologize or not?" he asked.
"You know I won't," she replied. "Do you have a girlfriend?"
"I used to," he said with a sad tone.
"May I ask what happened?" she asked curiously.
"Things didn't work out. Let's just say that a relationship without trust can't never work out," he said.
"I know the feeling," she said without thinking first. "I've been there."
"So you're a reporter," he said as, changing the subject.
"Yes, and you are...?" she wondered.
"I'm a hunter," he said.
"Hunter?" she thought out loud.
"Yes, that's why I'm here. I need to hunt this animals attack makers," he said.
"Vampires?" she asked.
"Exactly," he replied.
"Why are you telling me all this?" she asked really curious.
"I don't know. Maybe being locked here with you is not being really helpful," he joked, and they both laughed. "I don't know, Lois, I just felt like telling you," he confessed. "May I ask why are you interested in this animals attacks?"
"I'm just really interested in usual things," she said.
"You're an unusual thing," he thought out loud.
"Excuse me?" she said and smiled.
"Nothing, Lois," he said.
"Nothing?" she asked.
"Yes, nothing," he replied.
"Okay then," She said, and suddenly the door opened. Lois felt sort of relief seeing Clark standing there.
"Clark!" she yelled as she broke the visual contact with Dean, and ran over to Clark.
"Are you okay?" Clark asked, entirely ignoring Dean's presence.
"Yes, I am," she said, moving away from Clark., both of them ignore Dean's presence for a while.
"Hello," Dean said, breaking Lois's and Clark's connection.
"Oh yeah, this is Dean Winchester," Lois said to Clark.
"Nice to meet you, Clark Kent," he said, as he offered his hand to shake his.
"Ditto," Dean said.
Clark stared at Dean for a while in silence, and noticed how he was looking at Lois. He didn't like it at all but didn't say much.
"Well, I better go home," Lois said, and left.
"Me, too," Dean said, and walked away, leaving Clark with a lot of doubts of what really happened in the basement between the two of them.
Should I keep writing?
