Chapter Two

It's a dream remember I will wake up and all will be ok

Lois admired the calm demeanor of the child, she was sitting on the sofa hands folded in her lap as Lois called Clark to only get his voice mail she sighed and left a message. She snapped her phone shut and clapped her hands together. "So uh ki- I mean Alessa, um I was going to take you shopping cause well you can't be wearing Clarks old flannel shits and torn jeans. So I know this little store that's by the talon, we can go there and then hit lunch. I told Clark to meet us there later."

Alessa got up from the sofa and walked over toward Lois. "Thank you Miss Lois, I would love to."

Alessa sat in the passenger seat on Lois' SUV she glanced at her rescuer for a moment and then looked at the rolling country side. She had been proud of herself, she had chosen right. Lois and Clark would be the perfect Mommy and Daddy for her and she sensed something strange about Clark, she knew daddy. She sensed that he was different to, but in a different way than she was. She listened to her new mommy's blabbering and then tried to figure out if she would make the two of them agree to be her parents. It would be a challenge yes but after she had been through she could do anything.

Once they pulled up to the small store Lois stopped talking and smiled as she flashed the credit card that she had snuck out of Clark's pocket. "Shopping trip, courtesy of Clark Kent."

Alessa gave a small, almost un-noticeable smile and then jumped out of the car and ran into the shop with Lois right beside her. They went into the shop and Alessa looked at Lois then went over to a jean jacket and the matching skirt. "I like this, a lot." Lois went over to her and then picked one out of each. "Well you can try them on and we'll see how they look, let's just keep shopping ok?" and after an hour, they were finished, Alessa walked out of the dressing room in the outfit that she had chosen. They walked over to the checkout counter and the woman scanned the outfit she had on. The woman smiled at Alessa and then to Lois. "You look like your mommy; you have a beautiful daughter ma'am. Your husband must be a hell of a looker to."

Lois' eyes widened. "Oh she's not my-" She looked down at Alessa. "Oh screw it," She muttered. "Thanks." She then smiled at the child and they walked out of the store and to the Talon. Alessa surprised Lois when she grabbed her hand, the two could really be mistaken for mother and daughter even if the child was a little different. They made it the door when Lana came walking out. "Oh hey Lois," She bent down the Alessa. "And you must be Alessa."

Alessa hid herself behind Lois' leg. "I don't like her mommy." She mumbled.

"Oh honey its ok- wait Mommy, Alessa?" Lois asked.

Alessa began to get angry. "I don't like her Mommy, she wants to take Daddy away from us!" The potted plants infront of the talon began to shake then raise off the ground, Lois then somehow knew what Alessa would do to Lana if she didn't calm her down. Lois knelt down in front of Alessa.

"Sweetie, no one will take Daddy away from Mommy I promise ok. I would never ever let that happen, you just have to calm down please?" Lois said to her.

"Promise?" Alessa asked.

Lois smiled and whipped the child's tears away. "Yeah, I promise." Lois then watched as the plants where placed down and then looked at Lana, she must have been super naïve if she didn't see that going on. "Is Clark in there?"

Lana nodded, then walked away clearly hurt. She wondered what Lois meant by 'she would never let that happen?' But what she could never get out of her head was the look of evil that she got when she passed Alessa and the low threat to stay away.

Lois walked into the Talon then saw Clark with Lex, she was planning to talk to Clark latter about this kid calling her mommy and tell him that she called him daddy. Lex smiled at Lois then looked at Alessa, "Alessa right? I'm Lex Luther, I'm a friend of Clark's."

Alessa smiled bashfully and then shook his hand. "It's nice to meet you sir." She said

Lex laughed then turned to Clark. "Your right Clark, she is very mature for her age. Maybe she could teach Lois here a thing or two."

Lois rolled her eyes at him and then looked at Clark. "Well she did it again, and she aimed it toward your little lover."

Clark looked at her. "Lana, Alessa did you hurt her."

Alessa's smiled sweetly at Clark. "I would never, ever do that Mr. Clark."

Clark smiled and then looked at Lois. "See, everything is fine she said it herself."

Lois narrowed her eyes at Alessa, wondering what this kid was plotting. Then Lex spoke up. "Well I'm going to look into this and try to see what I can find out. I'll call you later ok?"

Clark and Lois nodded their heads and said thank you. Alessa then grabbed Clarks hand to and looked up at them. "I'm tired, can we go home?"

Lois said yes and they got into the car, Alessa went back into Lois' car and the followed the red truck past the farm. Alessa ran inside the farm house and Lois stopped Clark. "We need to talk, now."

Clark followed Lois into the loft and she then turned to him, clearly worried. "Clark, this kid is not right ok? She needs to be put away like now. She was going to hurt Lana, I could feel it and then she called us, as in me and you mommy and daddy. Us Smallville parents, she thinks..no she wants us to be her parents." She looked at him, he was calm. "Smallville, why are you not freaking out about this she probably set the fire up herself she-"

"Lois she didn't set the fire, her mom did. Lex and I did some digging; Alessa is from a town called Silent Hill. Her mother Dahlia was a priestess of a religious group called the order and she only had Alessa so she could offer her up as a sacrifice for their god. Alessa's father found out about this and kidnapped her, bringing her here to Smallville. Because the sacrifice was never complete, Silent Hill disappeared in a world of fog but Dahlia tracked down her daughter and tried to finish the sacrifice but we stopped it."

He took a deep breath and looked at Lois' confused face. "But what about her whole children of the damned powers and the whole Lois and Clark are my mommy and daddy thing?"

Clark shook his head. "I don't know, maybe she's trying to replace us with something she never had…you see Alessa's mother hated her. She did terrible things to her, but the powers I don't know Lex is looking into that now. Hopefully we will get answers tomorrow but for now, its best for us to help her the best we can and-"

That's when they heard it a blood curling scream then all the paint began to peel from the walls. The walls of the barn began to turn into gates and barb wire and then the clouds covered the sky making everything turn into total darkness.

"Lois?" Clark asked, he could not see his own hand in front of his face. Then he heard the flip of a lighter and Lois' face light up by a warm flame, Clark couldn't believe how beautiful she looked by a warm flame. He shook his head, this was not the place to be thinking about that.

The scream was heard again, it was coming from the house. Clark and Lois looked at each other in horror and made their way to the house.
