Chapter 2: Seperation

I opened my eyes and smiled, "Today is going to be a good day." I turn over to the opposite side of my bed, expecting to see my love, Alicia. But she was not there; I wasn't even in the honeymoon sweet. My body began moving, but I was not telling it to, I looked around the room, and there it was… the necklace Alicia gave me… someone had taken it off me…

"NOOOOOOO!"

Clark fell to his knees gripping his ears in pain.

"You'll pay for this!"

He still grimaced in pain, "Who are you?"

I smiled, "You do not know your own self? How sad… what did you do to Alicia?"

"Myself? What do you mean myself?"

"Answer me first!"

"Alicia… I don't know where she is, but she tricked me into marrying her, and I don't want to see her again, I told her this. Why do you care so much?"

"YOU DID WHAT! She tricked no one! I married her, not you! You'll pay for what you did, Clark… just know that I'm always watching, and everyone you know will suffer, until I'm out of you…" With that I went back, deep in his unconscious, he would hear from me soon enough, but until then I thought it to be relaxing to just watch as his life falls to pieces, and he goes through everyday in fear.

"Out of me, what do you mean out of me?" He snarled, "Answer Me!"

Just then his bedroom door flew open, and Jonathan appeared. "Clark! Who are you talking to!" His face wrinkled into confusion, when he realized no one was in the room, and his son was on his knees grimacing in pain. When their eyes met, I could feel the fear coming out of Clark, and I loved every second of it.

"Clark, what's wrong?"

Clark stood up, and shook his head. "Nothing dad, I'm fine."

"Fine? I don't call being on your knees and yelling fine."

"It's nothing dad!" I smiled deep inside of Clark, he was beginning to become edgier already, soon he would hurt those he loved for me, and all I would have to do is finish the job. Clark stormed out of his own room, and then out of his house, to his "fortress of solitude", or as I call it… a loft. Fortress of solitude, I always thought it to be a stupid name. He made his way to the couch, where he sat… and sat… and sat… I could feel his emotions, fear, hate, sadness, all the emotions I would feed off of until he finally snapped and came to me. His defenses were already failing, I could sense it, but he was stubborn, and wouldn't come to me that fast. This was going to be fun.

The next day rolled around, and then another, and another… It was a week before I grew tired of his incessant whining for me to talk to him. It was amusing though, the very friends he cared for, and feared for, did not come when he was absent for a week. I was about to speak, when I heard footsteps coming up the stairs… he turned to look and we both were surprised by what we saw… Alicia… she had come back. I could read Clark's thoughts, of yelling at her… I would not let him do that.

We began struggling for control, he was stronger than I expected, but I was stronger.

"Alicia, I've missed you." She looked at me like I was crazy. I had Clark to blame for that, but at the moment I had more important matters.

"I just came to apologize…" She looked sad, it hurt so much to see her like that, but Clark kept pushing to get out, I hadn't had the time for it.

"Apologize for what?" I stood up, although my legs wobbled, and half the time they didn't do as I said. Clark was still trying to get back control. I walked over to her, my face scrunched in concentration; Clark would not ruin this again…

She began to speak, but I put my finger up to her mouth. "You have nothing to apologize for." She tried to speak again, but I stopped her again, this time by kissing her passionately. Time stopped, I was in heaven, but on the inside I was in hell, Clark was fighting with all he had to regain control.

She looked at me and smiled, that gorgeous smile that could melt steel, but most of all, my heart. She said the words I had been waiting for, "I love you… Clark." That last word, my smile turned into a frown, she loved Clark? This would not do, Clark, did not love her, I did.

Clark was fighting even more, and with my emotions taking over, I was beginning to lose… I had to say it before it was too late. "I love yo…" It was too late, Clark was back. "LANA! I love Lana." I looked at her, back inside Clark's mind, I saw her eyes fill with tears. I tried to reach up to wipe away her tears, but my arms wouldn't move… Clark was in full control. I could hear her heart shatter, and fall to the ground. What had Clark done?

She ran, down the stairs, and out of the barn, she kept running, until I saw the signature green light, which meant she was gone… probably forever…

"NOOO!" I screamed in rage and in sadness. "What have you done… you've ruined everything…"

He didn't say anything… he just stood there.

"Clark… why…" I began to cry the tears falling down my face, but he did not care. After moments that felt like an eternity passed he finally spoke.

"I want you out… out of my mind, and out of my body." I managed a smile, though I was still crying. The time had come for my freedom.

"As do I Clark… but there is only one way…"

"How! I'll do anything, just get out!"

My smile widened, "The black kryptonite is the only way, get it."

He super sped to where he had hidden it away, and pulled it out of the lead box it was in. "Now what?"

"Just wait…" I concentrated deeply, the stone began to glow a deep violet. It felt as though my head was being split in two. It was the most painful thing I've ever experience, but at the same time, I knew it was worth it.

Clark screamed in pain, it was complete. I looked down at him on the ground, then at my arms… I was free, and it was time for Clark to pay. But killing him would be too easy; I super sped off into the town of Smallville. That is where I would begin my quest, my quest of vengeance. My first target, the woman who ruined everything… Lana Lang.
