Chapter six
Clark ran like he had never run before. He searched all of the familiar roads they took everyday. "They have to be somewhere." He ran past the old mill, the Talon and everywhere else that he thought Chloe might have taken Lana. "God, I hope they're okay." Just then, he saw it, Chloe's blue Volkswagen. Sitting outside of the school. He ran inside and climbed through an open window. "Of course Chloe would bring her to the Torch, where else. She gets her strength from here." Clark quietly tiptoed toward the door and using his ex-ray vision looked inside.
Lana was sitting at the desk, tied up and gagged, in front of the computer. Chloe was rambling on about something her eyes full of unfamiliar hate. "You know Lana. Clark and I would have been together if it weren't for you interfering. Why couldn't you have just left him alone? It's funny how when Whitney was around, you never even noticed Clark. But I did." She paraded around Lana, enjoying every minute of her torture.
"See Lana. Clark was and IS STILL meant for me." Chloe showed Lana pictures of her and Clark on the computer. Pictures from the day they met up till now. "See how Clark looks at me. He's just infatuated with you Lana because you make yourself unavailable. He doesn't love you." Just then Chloe spun the computer chair around and made Lana look right into her eyes. "And you're in the way."
Clark knew he had to do something even though he couldn't help but notice the shiny green necklace dangling from Chloe's neck. He knew that if he got within a foot of that necklace he would be useless. "If only I didn't tell Pete to go back to the loft."
"It's okay Clark, I never listen to anything you say anyway." Clark spun around to see Pete coming toward him. He was never so glad to see him. "Pete, we have to figure out a way for you to get that necklace off of Chloe. "I'll just jump her." Clark gave him a sarcastic glare and thought about it for a minute. "Okay, yeah, that's the best we've got I guess." Before thinking about what he was going to do next, Pete burst into the room and headed for a surprised Chloe.
"Pete, what the hell do you want?" He struggled with her to find that she was freakishly strong. The necklace must have been giving her some sort of strength. She was struggling with Pete so hard she didn't notice that Lana had gotten out of her chair. "Where the heck, did she go? I didn't say she could leave." Pete finally managed to break the chain of the necklace and it dropped to the floor, smashing the stone. "Now look what you've done clumsy." Clark ran into the room and grabbed Chloe making her immobile. "Clark, if you want some one on one time with me, I can think of a lot of better ways we can do it." "Chloe, this isn't funny, you need help and you need it fast." He knew Pete had already escorted Lana to the truck to get her home. He picked up Chloe in his arms effortlessly and looked down at her, she didn't seem to mind the fact that he was controlling her every move. "I hope to God you won't remember this." Then he took off running at super speed." "Oh my God Clark, how the heck are you running so fast?" She held onto him tighter as they made their way through the quiet town.
"Where are you taking me? Let's hope that whatever you plan on doing to me end this quickly." She chuckled at her joke and clung to him harder. "We're going to Lex's Chloe. Hopefully he'll know what to do." As they made their way to Lex Luthor's mansion, Chloe looked up at Clark and once again said; "I love you Clark Kent."
