Chapter 7

The first thing Chloe felt as she slowly woke up was that someone was holding her hand but as she looked at her side she just saw a bald head.

That is strange I don't think that I know anyone with no hair. thought Chloe and tried to sit up but as a wave of dizziness hit her she thought better of it and laid back down.

The movement of Chloe leaded to Lex to waking up. Quickly he sat up and moved so he could look into Chloe's eyes. They looked deep into the eyes of the other and got lost. Just as he was about to say something Siobhan came into the room.

As she saw that her blond friend was awake she run up to her and gave her a big but carefully hug. That caused Lex to leave his place and after he stared at them for a moment and saw that Chloe was feeling better, he also left the room.

For a moment Chloe was disappointed but then she forgot all about him has she let the warmth of the embrace of her friend wash over her.

As Lex returned to his knight it was Lucas who approached him and told him what happened the day before. Clark wasn't far away because he and also all the other knights knew about Lex temper and because Clark knew what happened he wanted to help Lucas.

Lucas had just finished his explanation and looked over to Lex and waited for him to explode.

After three minutes and not a single word from Lex he thought that maybe Lex hadn't listened but then said man jumped to his feet and screamed for his horse before Lucas and Clark were by his side and calmed him down.

"Don't Lex! Both have survived and the best we can do is to make sure that nothing is going to happen to them. If you leave and get killed…"Lucas stopped not sure how to continue. He saw that Lex was thinking about his words: "I'm sure that is not what the princess wanted."

Lex understood what Lucas said but that didn't mean that he had to like it. He knew that Lucas was right but the thought of this man who had hurt this beautiful woman being free was almost too much. Lex took a deep breath nodded at Lucas and Clark and then sat back down.

Lex couldn't believe how brave and strong the little blond was. How much pain she had held out just too safe the boy he couldn't even imagine.

Although he fought in many wars and got often hurt in the process of saving one of his knights he was really impressed. She had fought alone against a stranger who have must been three times stronger and she had survived and the boy Julian too.

He on the other hand had killed so many men just to survive and if he understood Lucas right Chloe hadn't killed the man because Julian had told him that later as Chloe came out of the convent he saw how a black shadow escaped.

Clark and Lucas saw that Lex was deep in thoughts and left him alone.

After a long hug Siobhan let go of Chloe and looked after the cuts on her back and feet's. When she had finished she again sat down beside Chloe.

Both were staring at each other but nobody said a word but as Chloe saw how tears formed in her best friends eyes she opened her arms and Siobhan felled grateful into them.

While she sobbed and apologized over and over again Chloe just held her. There was only one single sentence that she repeated all the time.

"Don't apologize I'm alive and I love you."

As Siobhan had calmed down they stayed for awhile longer in each others arms before they let go. This time as Siobhan looked at Chloe the blond had a beautiful, bright smile on her face.

"So tell me, since I was out for the last couple of hours, have you found a man who is worth to be called your soon-to-be-husband or are they all pigs?"

Chloe begun to laugh as she saw how the cheeks of her friend turned to a deep red color and she laughed even more as Siobhan glared at her.

"I'm sorry Shi I really am. If you are happy then I am too but I want to meet the man before you go off and marry him."

Now Siobhan was laughing too and hugged her friend again but then she grew serious.

"Chloe I know you don't like it when we asked you that but…are you alright?"

"Yeah I'm okay but I think we've got a big problem and I'm not sure how to handle the situation. But we are going to talk later about it now I want to stand up so that I can look for this handsome and totally sexy man who was early in my room.

By the way can you tell me the name of the stranger because I'm sure he was sitting the entire night at my side and without your knowledge nobody comes into this room."

Siobhan by now was trying really hard not to laugh at the eagerness of her friend but failed miserable. If Chloe knew that this fine looking man was her soon-to-be-husband…! At this thought Siobhan laughed even harder.

As she saw Chloe's confused look she explained: "I just thought about the face that you would made if I tell you that the man was Sir Alexander Joseph Luthor…your soon-to-be-husband."
