Lana drove up the dirt road to The Kent Farm. The whole drive there she thought about turning back, but something told her that tonight was the right time. It was now or never. She got out and walked toward the barn, where Clark spent most of his time. Lana was happy to see that the light was on. She was gathering her thoughts as she entered the barn.

'What should I say to him.' She thought. 'This is a little weird, since we rarely talked this year.'

Her thoughts were interrupted by a collection of deafening shots. 'What the hell was that?' she thought.

Lana ran into the barn and headed to go up the stairs. As her foot hit the first step, a smirking Lex calmly made his way down with a large silver case. Lana shot him a look of confusion.

"Lex, what just happened? I heard shots. Where's Clark? What did you do?" She asked in a panic.

Lex continued walking away and stopped at the exit of the barn. He turned back to Lana, who was waiting for an answer and said "I did it for us…for everyone." He brushed some dirt off of his suit and left. Lana bolted up to find Clark lying on the ground with 10 or 11 bullet wounds in his chest. There were small meteor rocks tied to each of his hands with a piece of cloth. Lana was horrified. She knelt down and held Clark's head. He was breathing heavily. He opened his mouth to speak.

"La…Lana, get these rocks off of my hands...go call my pa-"Clark started to cough up blood.

Now in tears, she untied the cloth and threw the rocks out of the loft window. Clark's had green bruises on his palms. He clenched his fists, regaining feeling in them. Lana thought to herself, 'I can't let Clark die. I need to help him.'

"Clark," she whispered in his ear. " We need to get you to a hospital. I'll be right back, hold on."

She rushed down to go to her car to get her cell phone, but was blinded by a set of headlights. The car stopped right in front of her and two people got out. As her vision cleared, she realized it was Mr. and Mrs. Kent.

"Lana, what's wrong?" Mrs. Kent said off of the mess of tears on Lana's face.

"It's Clark…He is up in the loft, something happened with Lex and I came to…and, and blood, and gun shots."She was at a loss for words.

"Lana, now calm down. What's wrong with Clark?" Mr. Kent said sternly putting a hand on her shoulder. Lana pointed up to the loft. She could no longer speak. Mr. Kent ran up to Clark with his wife, leaving Lana to cope.

Thanks for the reviews and suggestions, people. Sorry this chapter was short.
