Chapter 6
I love you, I hate you.
I can't live without you.
I left my head around your heart,
Why would you tear my world apart?
Always, always, always, always.
Lana woke the next morning when her cell phone rang. She flipped it on, rubbing her eyes. "Hello?
"I told you not to leave me, Lana. I warned you," came a sinister voice.
Lana sat upright in bed. "Lex? Lex, what have you done with Chloe? Where is she?"
As Lana said it she heard a scream in the background. "Leave me alone, you bastard!"
"Chloe?" Lana asked, her eyes watering. "What are you doing to her?!"
"Listen closely, Lana," Lex hissed. "You can save her if you come to the plant."
"No! Lana, don't listen! Lana!!" Chloe screamed.
Lex chuckled. "Meet me there in exactly half an hour. If you are not alone, I will kill her."
"No, Lex," Lana pleaded. "Don't hurt her. I'll come alone. I promise."
"Lana, no!" Chloe screamed in the background. Lana heard a shriek, then couldn't hear Chloe's voice anymore.
Lana began to cry. "No more, Lex. No. Don't hurt her. I'll come. Alone. I promise!"
"Half an hour," Lex sneered. With a click he was gone.
Lana jumped from the bed, throwing her clothes on. She crept quietly out to the hall, hearing Clark and Pete's hushed voices in Clark's room. She winced when the floor squeaked under her step.
Lana walked quietly down the stairs. She could hear Martha talking softly in the living room to Jonathan. As quietly as she could she walked to the place where Jonathan kept the shotgun. She took it out, glancing over her shoulder to make sure no one was coming into the room. She grabbed a few bullets, then hurried out the back door, grabbing Pete's keys from the kitchen table.
Lana held her breath while she started the car, hoping that Clark couldn't hear her. She rolled the car out onto the dirt road, then sped to the LexCorp plant.
