Episode 3 A Haunted Past
Chapter 4 Cole's Past
"Cole what's wrong." She asks a look of concern on her face
"Lana you're going to want to sit down for a minute." He says motioning to the couch behind them
So she walks over and sits down followed by Cole.
"Ok now what's this all about?" She asks curiously
"Well theirs no easy way to say this but I'm going to have to leave Smallville with my Aunt on Sunday."
"What?" She says shock in her voice tears welling up in her eyes and threatening to fall
"Yeah you see she got some court papers together taking guardianship away from the Kent's and giving it back to her."
"But why does she want custody of you back all the sudden.?" She asks the tears now falling hard from her face
"Well its kind of long story." He says pulling her closer to him
"But basically what happened was."
Flashback
A 10-year-old Cole Kent is fast asleep in his bed.
His Mom is in the living room watching TV and his Dad is working another late shift at the Fertilizer plant in Nearby Waco.
"He is drifting in and out of sleep when he hears his Dads voice coming from the living room.
So Cole gets out of his bed and sneaks out of his room and towards the living room to see what's going on.
He gets over the kitchen wall that faces the living room and crouches down to avoid being seen.
He sees his Mom and Dad having a normal conversation when suddenly it turns heated.
"What are you talking about I'm never home." He says shouting angrily
"Well it's just your always working and your never around for any of Cole's special events like his little league game yesterday." She says timidly reacting to the sound of her husbands load booming voice
"Oh I'm so sorry but I'm trying to work so you two can have food and a roof over your heads and food to eat."
"And besides what do you do all day sit around the house all day doing nothing in fact how do I know your not bringing random guys into the house while I'm at work and sleeping with them."
"Now honey you know that I would never cheat on you I love you and Cole too much to do that to either of you." She says sweetly
"You know I'm so sick of all these crappy excuses and lies you come up with every day." He says pulling a small 38 revolver from his jeans pocket.
"Now honey please just calm down and don't do anything you'll regret." She says putting up her hands defensively
"Calm I am calm see." He says squeezing the trigger on the snub nose
The round flies out of the gun and hits Cole's Mom in the chest knocking her from her seat on the couch into the floor
"See totally calm." He shouts holding the smoking revolver at his side
Cole leans back against the wall his breathing heavy as he tries to hold back his screams at what had just happened.
He just couldn't believe what he just saw he rubs his eyes and slaps himself across the face hoping to wake up from what he hopes is just a horrible dream.
Suddenly the phone in the living room rings.
"Yeah its done I took care of her." His Dad says talking into the receiver
"I know now we can finally be together just you me and Cole." He says cheerfully
"Don't worry I'm just about to call 911 and report the home invasion just like you said."
"Ok I love you to Katie." He says before hanging up the phone
End of Flashback
"You see my Aunt Katie had slept with my Dad for almost a year had him convinced he made the wrong choice when married my Mom."
"Told him that she loved him and that he wanted him to get rid of my Mom so that they could get married and start this big wonderful family with just me her and Dad."
"But what he didn't know was she was just trying to get to my mom's 100,000 dollar life insurance policy."
"So that's why she had him murder her and then she framed him and got him sent to prison for life for her murder."
"Well if she got the money why does she want you then." She asks curiously
"Because technically she only got half the money."
"The other half was put into an account that I will have access to once it turn 18 or if my legal guardian wants they could withdraw from the account for me."
"So she figures if she gets full custody of me back she can go to the bank and then withdraw the money for herself."
"Well you're not going with her are you?"
" I have to if I don't she is going to take Mom and Dad to court and they'll lose the Farm."
"Well when do you have to leave for Texas?"
"Tomorrow at midnight." He says a sad tone in his voice
"Don't worry though I'm still going to play at the party." He says smiling and pulling Lana close in an attempt to stop her from crying
"You don't have to do that" She says in between sobs
"I know Lana but I want to." He says wiping the tears from her eyes
"Now let's finish decorating this place for tomorrow." He says smiling over at her
So there you go now everyone knows what happened to Cole's Parents and just how evil his Aunt really is but more questions remain Will Cole really leave Smallville forever? What is wrong with his Aunt Katie? and How will this affect his performance at the party tomorrow night? The answers to all this and more coming up on 2 Kent's
