Obedient – 7

"Here it is" said Edward taking out a handcuffs from the drawer. Then he looked at Martha who still sitting on the couch "Come here" he ordered walking to a pipe on the wall. When Martha was enough close to him he grabbed her free wrist and handcuffed her to the pipe. She didn't resist, her body wasn't responding to her own orders, she still deeply conscious, but neither her eyes looked where she wanted to look.

Edward held now her other hand and took off the bracelet.

"Welcome, Mrs. K…" but he hadn't been able to pronounce the full name when she pushed him to the floor.

"Lionel will come to help me…" she yelled.

"I know… that's what I want…" he answered laughing and rising up.

"Are you going to kill him?"

"No… you'll do it… I'll just be there to don't let you to fail…"

"I'm not going to kill him…" said her with tears on her eyes.

"You nearly did once… why do you think that you're not going to do it again?" he laughed again grasping her wrist to put the bracelet again.

"Don't touch me!" exclaimed Martha realizing from him and trying to slap his cheek.

"I can't let you shout and discover all this… I want to have you controlled… and both of us know that when you receive the first orders you still a little conscious of yourself…" Martha frowned… "Yeah… I know it… I've read all what I could about the bracelet and its effects… so I want to have you absolutely controlled when Lionel arrives…" He tried to put the bracelet on her wrist again, she resist one more time, but he finally did and after he realized her from the handcuffes.

"Why are you doing this?" she asked nearly crying "What have Lionel done to you?"

"I worked at the Smallville's caves for him… I found the bracelet, and the document which spoke about it… and I also translate a big part of the cave's symbols… I know about the savior who has to come to the earth… and I know about his powers… But they also spoke about a big enemy… and I know that's Lionel Luthor… I will destroy it before the safer comes… so then I'll become his best friend, and I'll govern the earth next to him…"

"It's a nice story for a film…" joked Martha knowing exactly what he was talking about, but not thinking that Lionel was her son's enemy.

"Don't laugh about me!" threatened Edward grasping her neck. Then his hand slide down passing between her breasts and stopping on her belly. "You'll help me to destroy him… wouldn't you like to become my world's queen and the mother of my children?"

"Fuck you!" exclaimed her removing his hand from her.

"Ok… I'll repeat it better…" he smiled "After you kill Lionel you'll become my wife and you'll born my kids… right?"

"Sure" said her lips without her consent.

"Fine… now… prove it kissing me"

She felt ill inside of her… but her feet step towards him, and her hands hugged her neck, as her lips joined his smiling mouth.

Lionel took the phone immediately.

"Yeah?" asked him.

"Who is it?!" asked Clark before nobody had answered to Lionel.

"Hi" said Martha's voice.

"Martha!" exclaimed Lionel with tears on his eyes "Are you ok? Where are you? I'll come soon…"

"I love him" said her.

"What?!"

"I don't love you, Lionel… I have never loved you… I love Edward, and I'll marry him after…" Lionel intrerrupted her words.

"It's not yourself who's talking, Martha… said him, crying, because, even he knew it wasn't herself… it was her voice, and it hurts to listened her saying that kind of things… "Just… tell me where are you"

"I'm at…" Edward took the phone from her.

"Good try Mr. Luthor…" said him.

"Is it funny to play with her thoughts at this way…?" asked Lionel.

"I'm not playing… I'm just telling her my plans…"

"Is this why you want to see me dead… you want her?"

"No… I want to clean the savior path…"

"What?"

"I'm talking about the cave's symbols… you're the savior's enemy, Luthor… and I'll become her best friend on earth after kill you…"

"I'm not…" Lionel let it go "Ok… where's her? I want to take Mrs. Kent back…"

"We'll meet tomorrow's morning at the caves… come alone…"

"What do you want in exchange for her?"

"I don't want anything… you will come to die there…" and he laughed uproariously before put down the phone.

"What does he said?" asked Clark impatiently.

"We'll meet tomorrow at the caves"

"And what does he want?"

"… my life" said Lionel seriously, on a sight.
