Part 1 ++++++++++++
A strange sound suddenly jarred Chloe from the first peaceful sleep she'd had in days. She slowely rolled onto her back as she tried to figure out what had woken her up.
Was it her cat scratching the door to get in? Was it her dad moving about the house? No he was away for the weekend working for Lex. What was that noise, she wondered.
The sound came again. Faint but noticeable. Maybe footsteps heading towards her room. Yes the sound was defentualy footsteps.
Someone was in her house! The bedroom door creaked open and light spilledinto the room.
Panicking she reached for her phone. She had to call Clark. He would help. But the intruder moved across the room and lunged at her. He janked the phone from her and ripped it from the wall.
Chloe tried to run but she was tangeled in the bedspread. The intruder yanked her backward asross the bed so hard her head hit the post of the headboard. She tried to scream and call out for help but the sounds died in her throat.
Her intruder jumped on top of her and squeezed her neck. She struggled and tried to move but he was so much bigger than she was.She could do nothing to stop him as he slowely squeezed the air out of her.
The last thought that went through her mind was *Help me Clark*. Then everything went black.
*****************************
Clark's heatbeat pounded as he sat straight up in bed. He had a bad feeling Chloe was in trouble. Grabbing the phone from the nightstand he dialed the familiar number. It rang and rang. It was unlike Chloe not to answer the phone . Expecually at 2:45 am . Where could she be he wondered and why did he feel like she needed his help.
Jumping out of bed Clark pulled on his jeans and after grabbing a t-shirt off the dresser he sped down the stairs and quickly put on his shoes. After leaving a note for his parents Clark sped out of the yard and headed toward Chloe's house. Sometime having superspeed was a good thing.
Clark didn't understand why he needed to get there quickly, but he knew if he didn't something bad would happen to Chloe.
Clark sped through the deserted town untill he got to the Sullivan house. He sped across the lawn and practually flew up the stairs. He banged on the door and listened to see if he could hear someone coming. Nothing. He banged on the door. Still nothing.
Clark grabbed the handle and twisted it sharply, the lock didn't hold. A crashing noise from upstairs broke through the silence. CHLOE! thought Clark as he took the stairs two at a time. He had to get to Chloe.
Slammimg open the door, Clark saw a blurr of dark clothing jump out of the window and take off across the yard. Where had the man gone? Why was someone jumping from Chloe's window in the middle of the night? he wondered.
As he prepared to follow the intruder a noise fron the other side of the bed caught Clarks attention.
Chloe.
He crossed the room and there on the floor was Chloe. She looked like she was dead. After checking for a pulse, Clark realised she was unconcious. Quickly scooping her in his arms , Clark raced out the door and headed towards the hospital. He had to get her some help, and from the look of her she needed help fast.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
As Chloe drifted in and out of conciousness she had the inpression she was flying. She couldn't really be sure where she was or where her attacker was but she finally felt safe.
"Clark?" croked out Chloe as she finally figured out who's arms she was in. Clark came to a stop, Chloe was awake. Thank God he thought as he eased her to the ground.
"Chloe . Thank God.....are you ok?" he asked, worry evident in his voice as he looked at his best friend. She looked really bad. Her throat was bruised and she had a big lump on her forehead.
Her body sagged againts him as his arms enveloped her. "You're ok Chloe. I've got you and no one is going to hurt you anymore."
Tears sprang to her eyes. Her body hurt all over. She really hated to cry, but she just couldn't help it.
Clark's voice was full of concern as he asked the question he feared most."Did he hurt you anywhere else?"
"No, Clark. I'm fine." she croked out. "I just don't feel good."
Clark looked concerned. Using his x-ray vision he made sure she wasn't hurt anywhere else.
"Chloe I think we need to get you to a Doctor right away." said Clark as he picked he up again. Chloe was too tired and worn out to argue with him. She layed her head on his sholder and let the darkness overcome her once again.
Clark didn't know wether to be glad Chloe had seemed to pass out again or to be upset that she had. Atleast with her unconcious he could use his superspeed and get her to the hospital right away.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
A couple of hours later the Doctors had concluded that Chloe was going to be fine. She had bruising to her neck and a slight concusion but other than that she was fine.
Clark mean while had waited what seemed like one of the longest hours of his life. He called his parents and waited inpatiently while they came.
While waiting for his parents, the police asked Clark a lot of questions. He told them almost everything ( except the parts about his powers). They told him they would check out Chloe's house first thing in the morning.
Shortly after that Clark's parents had arrived. They had checked on Chloe and told Clark that she was going to come home with them.Clark didn't argue. He was just glad she wasn't going to be alone.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
A few minutes later
Chloe was sitting in the waiting room of the Hospital waiting to go home. The doctor had told her she could only be released into the custody of a responsibe adult. So of course the Kent's had suggested she come home with them until her father got back from his meetings in Toyko.
"Are you ready to go home Chloe?" asked a voice from the doorway. It was Clark.
"Yes Clark, I am more then ready to leave here." she said with a smile.
"Good then lets get out of here. Mom and Dad are waiting out front with the car. " said Clark as he passed her his coat to put on.
Chloe could tell this was going to be a fun night. If it wasn't bad enough that she could hardly talk, she was going to be spending the night with Clark and she looked like a wreck.
*God could this night get any worse?*
