Chapter 15
Luthorkingdom, castle,
Chloe looked at Lionel Luthor hard "What do you mean no one isn't going anywhere?" she said in a demanding voice to him.

"Exactly what I just said" Lionel replied, then added "unless you don't want my help"

"Your help?" Clark asked him suspiciously.

"We can take care of ourselves just fine" Chloe told Lionel. "as you just witnessed."

"Yes, but the two of you can't take on an army no matter how powerful you are together. Especially if that army includes demons" Lionel told them.

"Probably not, but if I can get back to Avalon and claim my throne I can protect my kingdom with my people there and my magic." Chloe said to him.

"Do you even know what to expect when you get there?" Lionel asked her. "Has anyone given you a heads up on what to expect?"

Chloe looked at him in silence and Lionel took that as his cue to continue "If there are still people inside Avalon they probably be living in poor conditions. In no state to fight. I want to help you Chloe"

"Why?" Chloe asked him suspicious.

"Because your mother was a good friend. If she were still alive she'd want me to help you." Lionel said to her.

"Chloe, maybe we should let him. I mean we could use all the help we can get right?" Clark asked her.

Chloe looked at Clark for a second then turned her gaze back to Lionel "fine" she said "He can help." she gave in. "But I don't want to go over returning to Avalon or dealing with demons and the Langs anymore tonight. I just want to go home and sleep. We'll come back ok" without another word Chloe closed her eyes and took Clarks hand just before they turned to little green orbs and disappeared from the castle.

being left with his father Lex turned to him "What's the real reason you want to help Chloe dad. I know it isn't about her mother, she died over 17 years ago. what's the real reason you want to help her? What have you to gain from it?"

"Lex" Lionel said to him "I'm doing this for Lois." he told him it took a few seconds for Lex to remember Lois as the former Queen of Avalon's name but when it Lionel was looking at him "But I'm also doing it because I feel obligated to."

"What do you mean, you feel obligated to help her?" Lex asked.

Lionel looked him I the eyes and said "Because Lex. Chloe is my daughter. And she's also your half sister." he told him.

Luthorkingdom, outside the castle,
Green orbs came together and Chloe holding Clark's hand appeared in the woods outside of the castle.

Chloe wobbled on her feet feeling exhausted, Clark steadied her by putting his hand on her waist. "Did we just..." he implied to her.

"Yeah, we orbed. it's exhausting but it got us out." she said smiling then frowned when she saw smoke appear from further ahead. "What..." she started to say then realized where exactly the smoke was coming from.

Clark followed her gaze, "no" he said and was immediately gone in a blur.

"Clark wait" Chloe said but he was already gone, gathering her energy she turned herself back to orbs and followed him back to the Kent farm.

Clark sped up his pace, going as hard as he could then suddenly stopped when reaching the Kent farm. and just run in normal pace until going to a halt at the sight the farm was in.

Chloe appeared next to him and gazed out at the farm, it was a disaster, animals were lying ripped open all over the place and the house was on fire.

"mom! Dad!" Clark yelled blurring towards the house. he stopped when seeing his father outside the house sitting next to a very still body of Ryan.

"Clark, thank God you're alright." Jonathan said.

Chloe had come up silently and sat on the ground next to Ryan checking his pulse. "he's dead" she announced to Clark quietly.

"Ryan is..." Clark said "Is mom ok, where is she, What happened?" he then continued looking at his father for answers.

"I don't know Clark, she alive but she hasn't woken up." Jonathan said.

"what happened " Clark asked him again.

"Ryan, your mother and I were having dinner when Ryan suddenly yelled we had to go to the storm cellar. that it was coming" Jonathan started glancing at Ryan's dead body.

"we should have acted father then to question him. before we knew it the something, a demon broke through the wall. We tried to run but it was fast and with one blow Ryan was on the other side of the room, dead. I tried to hold it off for Martha to get out but some girl the was on it had jumped off and said we shouldn't have taken Chloe in, and that she wanted the magic book. She then had the demon hold me. Martha tried to stop her with her magic but the girl, she did something to stop it and then there was this explosion of power and Martha was knocked back against the kitchen counter. I tried to break free and stop her but I couldn't. she turned to me and said she was taking my wife and the magic book. the demon then pushed me to the ground and they left putting the house on fire. I got Ryan out of the house but they took her Clark. the girl and the demon have her."

Clark looked at his father feeling to much emotion to bring out a word, Chloe put her hand on his back. "we'll find her Clark" she told him softly.

Just then something blocked the moonlight and Chloe looked up feeling a familiar presence. she then saw as the winged demon that was once Whitney dropped a body of a woman Martha! she thought and quickly orbed up into the air. reaching Martha just before she was about to hit trees she included her in her orb and orbed back to the ground near Jonathan and Clark. a blood red arrow suddenly came at them and hit the ground with a thud, hearing Lana's laugh as the figure flew off she looked up at Clark. "she's alive but I can feel something is not right" she told them.

Jonathan had taken his wife's hand in his hands feeling helpless he asked "can you do anything to help her?"

Chloe looked from Clark to Jonathan to Martha and back to Jonathan. "I remember a spell in the book to help heal someone but there were some ingredients I needed for it. I don't know what they are. I need the book. All I can do is to call upon the spirits to watch over her and try to not let her die until I get it. The thing is, it could hurt her, a lot. the longer it's on her the more pain she'll be in."

"do it" Clark told her but Chloe looked at Jonathan for him to give the ok.

"Do it" Jonathan said after a while.

Chloe nodded and closed her eyes pulling the memory of reading the spell for her eyes. She began to whisper in a foreign language. And as the earth began to shake and the wind blowing hard Jonathan looked hopefully at his wife.

A orange light circled around Chloe her eyes green as she chanted. S it then shot at Martha making Martha gasp without waking up. then everything turned black before Chloe's eyes and she slumped against the ground exhausted.
