Chapter 7

"It's time," Clark said down the phone to Lex. He rounded up the other four vampires he had made and they flew towards the Kent farm, thinking hungrily of the meals they would finally be granted.

Lana smiled softly as she watched Clark brooding. She climbed up the barn steps, despite her instinctive hate towards him, and greeted him warmly.

"I love the sunset from this loft," she told him.

"In my reality this was built for me," he said wistfully. "Why did he make it here?"

"For meetings and storing supplies," she informed him. But she became curious. "What were you thinking?"

Clark hesitated slightly. "I was thinking of my mother. Martha Kent I mean. What if I never see her again?"

"You'll find a way back," she reassured him. "But I don't know what Jonathon's going to do. I hope he can just let you go back to your own world without him. There's a certain balance you have to keep," she said.

He nodded in understanding.

"It's weird. You, my dad and Pete are here, but where is everyone else," he said.

"You mean the girl in the photo," Lana said, bitterness taking over her voice.

"Yeah. Do you know where she is?"

"She's with the other Clark. They're a partnership of sorts," she told him.

Clark sighed heavily. Lana could see this was a big blow.

"What about Lex?" Clark asked.

"Luthor?!" She exclaimed.

"Yeah, he was my friend back there too." he trailed off when he saw that she was staring into the sky.

"No, It's Lex Luthor," she said, pointing in the direction of the five flying vampires. The one in the middle was his best friend.

Lex spotted the two teenagers staring his way. It was uncanny how much this boy looked like his friend. He grinned uncontrollably as he realised that drinking this boy would be like drinking his friend, something he'd dreamed about for years.

"Come on!" Lana called to Clark as they ran down the stairs and Lana picked up her mobile, warning Pete of the danger. Clark was too shocked to help, the thought of Lex flying through the air was too much. She was quick and efficient, picking out the best weapons and even giving a crossbow to Clark. By the time they were all there she had everything ready. But would it be enough.

"Here kiddie kid kiddies," Said a voice from the loft.

"Were down here you bastards," said Pete fearlessly. Clark noted that he had never seen Pete this strong before.

The five demons floated down to meet them.

"What do you want?" Lana asked, holding out the crossbow to keep them at bay.

"We want you all to die," Lex stated.

And with that, he flew at Lana, knocking her to the ground. Clark went to help her but two of the vampires grabbed his arms, bringing him to the floor as well.

Lana struggled but Lex was too powerful for her. The two vampires that held Clark tried to bite his arms, only to pull back abruptly when they found they could not penetrate his skin. Yet they held him back. Pete, Eric, Kyle and Jonathon tried their best to keep the other three at bay, but even though they had the advantage in numbers, they were quickly beaten.

Clark pulled against the vampires' strong grip. He managed to free himself of one of them before shoving the other against the wall. He sped towards Lex, ramming him off of Lana, whom he was about to bite.

But Lex recovered quicker than Clark had expected. As Clark tried to wake up an unconscious Lana, Lex grabbed him round the middle and threw him across the barn. He landed heavily on the stairs, failing to get back up. They were stronger than the refined meteorite thugs he had fought a while back, and he was starting to weaken.

Lex stalked over to him, smiling evilly. He took out a small piece of green rock and Clark groaned, clenching his teeth. He tried to stand, to get away, but he feel straight back down again. Finally he admitted defeat, slouching on the stairway, as the vampire got closer. Lex bent over Clark, holding him down by his shoulders. With great anticipation, Lex sunk his teeth into the boy, feeding off his powerful blood.

Hahaha, I'm going to leave it there. I swear this story is turning me evil as well.
