Chapter 3
9 years earlier, Langkingdom, Kings' and Queens' chamber.
A green bright light began to form in the chamber and suddenly a young blond girl was standing in the chamber.

"What is this? Who are you!" the King barked at the girl.

The girl looked around confused, her cheeks still wet from crying about the loss of her father.

"Isn't that Chloe Sullivan, the princess of Avalon?" the Queen asked her husband.

The King looked at her "I'll be damned." he said recognizing the girl now. "It is her."

"W-Where am I?" the little Chloe asked them.

The Queen stepped forwards and kneeled on one knee in front of the girl taking her in her arms. She and her husband both knew the Avalon Kingdom had been under the attack of Demons.
"Oh you poor girl." she said to her.

The King more ruler like asked "What happened to your father, the king?"

"Daddy, he- he." she calmed down slightly as she said "Daddy with mommy now. Daddy safe." ´I'm all alone now. Where is Clark I need Clark. Please don't let Clark be with mommy and daddy too. I need to go back and see if he's ok. But Daddy sent me here. He wants me to be here. Safe from the demons

a sudden memory hit her, a glimpse of her best friend Clark fighting with the demon responsible for her fathers death.
"I have to go back. Please take me back, I need to know if he's alright" she begged the king and queen.

"Who are you talking about. Your father?" the king asked her.

"No, daddy left me." she surprised a whimper at that and continued "best friend needs me. Clark needs me. He was in trouble."

"What kind of trouble?" the Queen asked.

"Clark fighting demon. Clark protecting me from evil demon." Chloe responded wriggling out of the Queens arms.

"You have to take me back. Clark needs help!" Chloe screamed afraid she'll lose her best friend as well as her father.

"How old is Clark?" the queen asked her.

Chloe held out her hands putting 9 fingers up, the queen looked at the king and then back at Chloe, her heart breaking for the little girl. "I'm sorry Chloe. I'm sure Clark is...With your mommy and daddy in Heaven."

"NO!" Clark isn't dead. I would know if he was." she placed her hand on her heart. "I would know." she said again.

The King and Queen looked at each other. And then the queen said "Maybe, but there isn't anything we can do for him, or any other friends you have there."

"Not ever, because with everyone knowing your father is dead. And suspecting you are dead as well. I as his cousin will inherit his kingdom." the King said to Chloe.

"What? But honey we can't-" the queen was cut off by the look on her husbands face.

"We can and we will. All we have to do is get writhe of her." he said pointing towards Chloe who looked at him a bit scared.

"We are not murdering a little girl!" the Queen now upset told her husband.

"You will do as I tell you to, unless you want your little secret to come out." the king told her.

"You wouldn't" the Queen said a bit scared herself.

"I would. This girl is standing in my way of a larger kingdom. I will take her out in order to get it. Unless you can come up with something better this is the way it's gonna be." the king said.

The Queen was silent. "What if just kept her locked up in one of our towers. Nobody will know if she's alive and she won't have to die."

"It's easier if we just killed her. If someone found out we have her here..." the King said.

"But if someone found out we killed her what would they do then. Every Kingdom surrounding ours would join forces to crush our kingdom. Because you do not kill a harmless little girl who is heir to the throne in cold blood. It's not right. And she is your family. You don't kill family." the Queen told him.

The King sighed and gave in "Fine, but if she tries to escape she will be killed."

9 years later, LangKingdom,
Chloe looked at Lana her eyes a bit scared which quickly turned into anger.

"Hallo Lana, thank you for knocking first. I was having a private conversation with Pete." Chloe said the dislike she had always felt for Lana but never really shown because being jealous of Lana Lang wouldn't help her get out of here. Now however she knew that she wouldn't need Lana's help to do so.

Ignoring Chloe's speech about knocking Lana continued to look at Chloe. "You know my father doesn't want you to leave. But I don't think it is fair for you to spend your entire life in this tower." she said casually.

"I was just joking Lana. I'm not going anywhere. The king, your father, forbids it, remember. If it weren't for your mother not having wanted me to be killed I would already be dead." Chloe told Lana.

"You shouldn't be joking about your life or death." Lana told Chloe.

"I know Lana, but I have to do something to kill my time." Chloe said.

"Well why don't you go read some then. You have a book right he-" she stopped seeing the spells inside the book. "re" she finished in a whisper. "What is this?" she asked Chloe.

"Oh what the hell, sorry about this Lana" Chloe said giving Lana a hard punch, knocking her out cold. She caught her and placed her on her bed.

"Well I guess those years of me training you paid off he?" Pete said to Chloe as Chloe was pulling the cover over Lana.

"Yeah, but now I really have to go. Take your mom somewhere safe. I don't want either of you getting hurt. Because of this." Chloe told Pete.

"What about you?" Pete asked her.

"I'll be fine. Don't worry about me. I'm going home after all" Chloe said a faint smile on her lips.

Pete hesitated "Just go!" Chloe ordered him.

"Ok, be careful Chlo'" Pete told her before running off to find his mother.

"Ok, now to get me the hell out of here" Chloe mumbled to herself as she walked towards the book close it and then picked it up in her arms. She walked towards her closet and ruffled through her clothes until she found the dress she'd been looking for. Reaching inside it she pulled out a bag. She had made when Amelia had taught her how to knit and sew. She opened the bag and then stood up to pick out some dresses and started to pack some. Then she put the book inside her bag closed it and threw it over her right shoulder.

She heard Lana grunt and knew she was going to wake up soon. She had to move fast. Chloe opened the door and slipped out her room.

´I'm really getting out of here Chloe thought to herself smiling. She slipped through the halls until she reached a statue of an angel holding a symbol which looked very familiar to her. She reached out to touch the symbol which then glowed and she stepped back surprised to see the angel statue had opened a hole. She took her bag off and opened the book again. Quickly skimming through the pages until she found the spell she was looking for. "lasciare ci di essere leggero" (Let there be light)

a bright white light appeared above the hand she was holding out in front of her as the book had instructed her to do. Smiling broadly because she did it she closed the book and put it back in the bag. Her smile disappearing because she heard footsteps coming closer. She put her bag back over her shoulder and stepped inside the now lighted path. As she took a few steps forwards she could heard the angel statue shifting back into place.

Reaching an end in the long tunnel the light moved up to show a rope hanging out what appeared to be an old well. Chloe smiled and grabbed the rope and began to climb up.

When she was up and out of the well she looked around. She was outside the castle. She could see the castle from the hilltop she was on. Her legs were tired as well as her arms from climbing up. She looked around and spotted a barn. She smiled the sight of the barn remembering her of someone else's barn.
´Martha is alive. Clark has to be as well. I can feel it. Chloe thought before she moved towards the barn to hope and get some sleep before she would go to Avalon tomorrow to search for the Kents.
