Chapter 3 Disclaimer: not mine, sorry, all copy righted!I'm still gonna tourtue them though...
"And now the weather! This month, everyone in town will be lucky enough to see, not one! Two full moons!"
"Clark…"Squeaked a small voice.
"Lex! You are awake! Sorry, I was listening to the news to pass the time, want me to turn it down?" Clark asked sheepishly from the corner of the hospital room. Currently he was fumbling with the remote, while the TV suddenly read mute in the right-hand corner.
"Clark…okay, you can breathe. How long have I been out anyway?" Lex muttered.
"About four hours. Should I get the nurse? Should I get you some water? What can I do?" Clark asked excitedly. There was a click, confirming the fact that Clark now knew were the off button was on the remote.
"Yeah. Help wring my hands around the guy with the sledge hammer, okay?" Lex said sleepily.
"The guy that attacked you?' Asked Clark intently, he was willing to do anything to help Lex.
"Nah-uh. The one in my head." Lex replied, flashing a maniacal grin.
"Oh." Clark looked dumbfounded for a moment, then flashed his signature 'I-really-don't-get-it' grin with his brilliant white teeth
"Clark, you should probably tell the nurse I'm up." Lex said changing the subject.
Like an obedient dog, Clark nodded and jogged off to fulfill his friend's request. Lex started slowly to clear things in his groggy mind. He was here in the hospital, probably because of others wounds. His head and chest were sore, so that was probably it. The wrist though, it hurt worst of all, turning his head feebly he saw it was rapped tightly in gauze. Not only that, but more gauze was nearby.
The nurse came in then with a glass of water, and asked, "Would you like to know what happened sir?"
"Yeah, thanks," Lex nodded, sipping the water gratefully.
The nurse slowly began to explain.
Chloe was, meanwhile,at the Torch, mixing together her Kool-Aide. Her jaw really hurt, and she had a splitting head-ache. For some reason she couldn't quite remember what she had done in the past 24 hours. Oh, sure she knew there was a full moon, and she remembered buying the Kool-Aide, just not why. She had never had black Kool-Aide before, so why now? Instead she had a craving, a hunger, a thirst to have the purple Kool-Aide with a hint of strawberry. Her hands finished with their chore of mixing and stirring, though had a different idea. Without realizing it she slowly sipped her glass of black Kool-Aide.
"We also think you may have been poisoned." The nurse finished, "Why else would your wrist bleed so much?"
"I have no idea if I'm poisoned or not. I was attacked by a wolf." Lex said after hearing the full report on his injuries. "Clark did you see any creature nearby when you picked me up? It has blonde highlights."
"No, all I saw was supposedly a log, but it was just you." Clark stated.
"Well anyway we are going to keep you here for a few days, just for observation. There might be something." The nurse said.
"I guess, man and all I wanted to do was get away from business!" Lex smiled.
"Well, it's a little early for Christmas, but I guess someone got their wish," Clark smiled back.
Meanwhile, the grocery store owner was shocked, no one had ever emptied the Kool-Aide shelves this fast. Stranger still, green meteor rocks were scattered on the shelves, were some of the packets had once been...
