Chapter 14
Clark was about to move into action to make a escape path for him and Chloe when "Stop! Stand down" Lionel Luthors voice said loudly and the guards immediately stood down.

Chloe held close unto Clark scared and seeking the safety of his arms as Lionel Luthor came at them, Lex behind him curious.

"Chloe, it's good to see you again." Lionel said holding out his hand. Cautiously Chloe raised her free arm and let Lionel take her hand and kiss it.

"I don't understand" she said to him.

"I wish you no harm. I was a close friend of your mother Chloe." Lionel said to her.

"You may not wish her any harm but I sure as hell do" Lana Lang said waving the hand which held the ring in front of Whitney's face. Whitney's eyes turned red and his clothes ripped as he began to grow and change. The once human Prince Whitney was now turning into a large demon. Where Whitney stood a few moments ago stood now a large demon with big wings, horns, and giant claws.

"Get her" Lana ordered and Demon Whitney flapped his wings and then as it came from the ground flew at amazing speed at Chloe.

Clark jumped up in to the air blurring as fast as demon Whitney and the two of them hit each other halfway.

Guests were screaming and leaving the castle, Lionel and Lex were nailed to the floor watching the fight between Clark and Demon Whitney (just gonna call him DW now).

As DW and Clark were on the ground again DW used its claw to slash at Clark who grabbed his arm stopping the claw from hitting him and threw a hard punch against the demons jaw. The demon just roared in anger and let with its free arm grabbed slashed Clark on his chest. Letting go of the demons arm Clark took a step back and saw there was blood coming from the wound. the demon then bumped hard against Clark sending him flaying across the room against the wall.

"Clark" Chloe yelled as she saw him flying hard against the wall and landing painfully at the ground. the demon paid no more attention at him and came at her Lionel and Lex. Chloe felt the power inside her take over and as once again her eyes turned green she held up her hand and a giant force field was up around Lionel and Lex. she then turned to orbs and the demon just flew through her. The orbs came back together and Chloe was facing the demons back. Summoning the spear from a guard by using her gift to orb it into her hand she threw it at the demon the demon was already turned around again when the spear was coming at him. With one wave of his claws the spear flew to the side of the room.

Clark saw Chloe battling the demon and knew he had to get up and help her. As he stood at his fee again she quickly blurred aside to avoid the spear which DW had blocked with his claws and hit it towards him. Clark still in blur moved fast and as he came before the demon again he hit it hard in the belly. Then quickly did a roundhouse kick and this time he sent it against a wall.

Chloe saw Clark taking over her fight again. Her eyes had turned normal again and she now knew how to call upon her power and how to use it. This was her special gift, she knew now. She turned to Lana who was smiling at her.

"He may be strong, and I have no idea how you changed him or if this had been him all along. but you're just human."

"Yeah but I have my gifts, just like you" Lana said and swung a sword which Chloe didn't know how she suddenly got at her.

Chloe turned to orbs to avoid being hit and then reappeared and punched Lana hard against her jaw. "sword" she called and one of the guard's swords disappeared from his hand and into hers. Just in time to block Lana's second swung with her sword. Chloe smirked and then two began at their swordfight. Soon Lana was on her but on the ground and Chloe's sword was at her throat.

Suddenly Chloe was aware of something coming at her she turned her head around and saw DW coming at her fast. Then suddenly it fell to the ground and she saw Clark pulling a bloodied sword from the demons back.

This distraction was all Lana needed she rolled aside from under Chloe's swords and held her ring at Chloe as she got up.

The pink ruby glowed brightly under Chloe's eyes and she felt dizzy. She dropped the sword but the sound of the sword clattering on the floor made her look at it and fall out of Lana's trance. Balling her hand in to a fist she punched Lana Lang hard. Lana took a couple of steps backwards and touched her lips with her hand and winced. She looked at her hand and saw blood.

"This isn't over" she told Chloe and whistled.

Clark looked at Chloe and Lana and winced when Chloe delivered Lana a hard punch. then when Lana whistled he heard a sound and looked behind him where DW had just laid dead, or so he thought because the demon flew past him and pushed Clark crashing into the bubble force field around the Luthors. The demon then stopped next to Lana who climbed on.

"Clark" Chloe said as she had turned around and saw the demon get up and push Clark aside as it stood beside its mistress.

"See you soon Chloe" Lana said as she flew off on DW.

Chloe rushed to Clark waved her hand dissolving the force field around the Luthors. as she fell on her knees beside him he looked up at her. "I'm alright" he said sitting up. they looked at each other.

"You sure?" Chloe said looking at the book on his shirt from the claw wound.

"It's just a scratch" he told her. then he looked at Lex "sorry about your tux."

Lex held his hand out to his friend "don't worry about it, as you saw I have dozens more."

Clark took his friends hand and got up. Chloe was already up again. She took his hand in hers and leaned against him tiredly. "let's go home" she told him.

"well this was interesting" Lionel said to them, "but I'm afraid none of you are going anywhere"
