Chapter 10- Mistake
As Lex laughed they both heard a girl's frantic voice.
"Clark? Where are you? Clark?!"
"How absolutely perfect," Lex exclaimed with a clap of his hands, "Now the little wife can watch you die! She lived so long waiting for you, now she can live the rest of her life knowing you slipped through her fingers! My plan gets better every second!"
No! Clark's heart screamed. Chloe, go home! he willed her to hear him, You can't see me like this! Please?!?
Chloe burst into the room. She saw Clark first. At the sight of her husband writhing in pain she yelped and her hands flew to her mouth. Surveying the room she saw Lex. Oh, God! Lana wasn't lying! she thought. She ran to Clark throwing herself in front of him to block him from Lex.
"Nice to see you again Chloe. I was just telling my dear friend Clark here about my plans for him," Lex said.
"I know all about your plans," Chloe growled, "Lana filled me in on all the details."
"Lana?" Clark gasped.
"What?!?" Lex asked, a look of betrayal in his eyes.
Then another voice spoke from behind Lex.
"I couldn't let you kill Clark, Lex. He was so good to me for all those years and I never even noticed. I needed to repay him for pushing him away. I can't rebuild my friendship with him if he's dead," Lana explained, looking longingly at Clark.
Chloe was doing her best to try to protect Clark while cradling his weak body in her arms. If I could just get to the remote! Chloe thought.
Clark was in so much pain he could barely register what was going on. What's Lana doing here? he thought weakly.
"How did you get here, Lana?" Lex asked, not quite sure if she was really there or if he was imagining her.
"Even your men have to sleep, Lex," Lana explained triumphantly.
Lex's eyes gleamed in rage. "I'll deal with you next, Lana" he said, "It's Clark's turn now."
Lex held up the syringe and sending a short stream of liquid onto the ground. Chloe gasped when he started advancing toward them. She tried to cover Clark as best she could but her tiny form was just too small. Clark struggled to put himself between Lex and his beloved wife, but he was too weak to overpower Chloe. Chloe sobbed uncontrollably as Lex approached.
"Shut up, Chloe! I'm not going to hurt you. I want you to live a long life mourning over Clark," Lex sneered.
Chloe stood in front of Clark to try to fend off Lex. She was thrown across the room when Lex's arm connected with her pregnant stomach.
"Chloe…" Clark moaned. He tried to go to her but was too weak to stand.
Lex let out a short laugh as he brought the syringe closer to Clark. At that moment Lana threw herself in front of Clark and into the path of the syringe. Surprised Lex missed Clark and stabbed Lana instead, emptying the syringe into her shoulder.
Lex screamed in agony as Lana fell to the floor at his feet.
