They had been travelling for two days straight and Amelia didn't want to chance to teleport, she might not end up so lucky the first time. She wanted to find the village that had been hit by the meteorites, it was her home and she had responsibilities. And why was Numan following her? Well he wanted to learn everything about humans and at the moment Amelia had been explaining for the last fifteen minutes of why she had kissed Numan on the cheek after he had saved her from falling off a cliff.
"You humans do that?" Numan asked as carried on walking.
"Mmmhmmm" Amelia said "It is a sign of affection"
"You humans are strange" Numan said.
"Compare to kryptonians that perform without emotions" Amelia sarcastically "Yes, I completely understand that"
"Does this kissing happen with both participants?" Numan asked.
"Mmmhmmm" Amelia said.
"Like?" Numan asked.
"Well in France they kiss each others cheeks twice when greeting" Amelia said.
"Where's France?" Numan asked.
"The other side of the world" Amelia said "Next to England"
"Is there another way of kissing?" Numan asked.
"Yes" Amelia said.
"Which is?" Numan asked.
"Lips upon lips" Amelia said.
"Can you show me?" Numan asked
Amelia stopped in mid-stride, forcing Numan to stay still. Did she hear him correctly? She slowly turned to face him.
"Can you repeat that" Amelia asked "I think I didn't hear you properly"
"Can you show me?" Numan repeated.
Present Day
Clark enters Lex's study as Lex plays the piano. Lex keeps playing as Clark begins to talk."Lex, can I talk to you for a second? I got a big problem" Clark said looking down at his hands "I was supposed to meet this alumni from Princeton last night, but then Lois wanted to throw a party for Chloe in the barn" Clark walks past the piano, still not looking at Lex as he sways exhaustedly. "Well, the party kind of got out of hand, and the guy from Princeton showed up and I think I kind of blew it"
Still Lex plays on."Look, um, I hate to ask you this, but do you have any connections at Princeton?" Clark asked, finally looking at Lex who continues to play without answering "Lex?" little confused that his friend is ignoring him.
He walks closer and looks down at Lex's hands. Lex's fingers are bleeding and there is blood all over the keys of the piano. "Lex, what are you doing?" Clark asked, frowning in shock.
Lex looks up at Clark. His eyes are desperate, watery, and tired, but he plays on. Clark kneels down next to him and grabs his arms. "Stop. Stop it!" Clark said. "I can't" Lex said feebly.
Clark pushes the piano with one hand, and it wheels away from them. Then he holds Lex's arms tightly to keep him seated. "Lex, what happened?" Clark asked worriedly. "Lana" Lex said weakly he then lets his head slump down and his eyes close.
At the Talon two witches were trying to find there fellow witch.
"Where is she?" Madeline asked worriedly, Briana was like a sister to her, very much like Chloe was with Lois.
"If you shut up for a minute maybe I will be able to find her" Isobel said as she sprinkled some herbs over a map.
"Briana would never do something like this" Madeline moaned un-happily "She never disappear without telling us first"
"I know that" Isobel said and muttered "In absentia Briana, imprimatur"
Dozens of symbols appeared on the map glowing brightly before moving around the map like they were searching for something and slowly stopped.
"That's odd" Isobel said.
"What is?" Madeline asked.
"I'm not quite sure" Isobel said "Madeline go get me pot with some water in it"
As Madeline went to do as she was told Isobel looked at the map carefully, the glow now looked bluish but it still had some pink in it. Madeline now placed the pot filled with water under Isobel's nose.
"E pluribus unum" Isobel muttered
The water bubbled for a moment then stilled before a face appeared.
"Briana!" Madeline cried out in delight.
Briana opened her eyes to Isobel looking down at her "Isobel?" then sees the blonde "Who are you?"
"It is I, Madeline" Madeline said "In the body of Chloe"
Briana looked at her old friend and her face saddened "How could you forget me?"
"I did not forget you Briana" Isobel said "Why are you not in Lois's body?"
"Who is Lois?" Briana asked.
Isobel face hardened as something deadly passed through her eyes "What is the last thing you remember?"
"Being burnt by the stake" Briana said.
Both Isobel and Madeline looked at each other.
"Why didn't the spell work on Lois?" Madeline asked.
"It did work, Madeline" Isobel said "If it didn't you wouldn't be here"
"Well, if Briana is here" Madeline said pointing to the pot "Who is in Lois's body?"
"Isn't it obvious? Another witch" Isobel said.
"Yes but who?" Madeline asked.
"She did look familiar…" Isobel said "But I'm not certain"
"Let us not dwell on it till later" Madeline said "We still have to bring an old friend back" gesturing to the pot.
"Yes, but who's going to fit the bill?" Isobel said "It's not like the person is going to open that door"
Lana's door was then unceremoniously swung opened by a new arrival.
"Hey Chloe, sorry I couldn't come to your party" Tina said as she came in and then looked at Lana "Are we having a day off from the talon cause you haven't opened up shop at all, had to get in from the back"
"You were saying?" Madeline said, looking at Isobel.
Amelia was adding ginger into the potion in the Kent's kitchen. No longer in her Briana disguise she was wearing Martha's jeans and boots and Clark plaid shirt, she now understood why Lois like the fabric. It soft, comfy, and (she couldn't help but grin on this) smelled like Clark.
Totally in denial Amelia laughed at Lois's old school ways.
"Oh to be young again" Amelia said then caught herself as she look down Lois's body "Well sort of"
She takes Clark hair from the side and just as she was about to drop it Clark zoomed in causing her to jump and drop the hair at the same time. Bang! She fell backwards and landed on her butt, while the smoke filled the room, leaving Clark a little shock from it. Who knew his hair can punch such a wallop!
"Are you alright?" Clark asked, after the shock.
Getting up, Amelia slammed her hand on the work surface as she pulled herself up to look at him. Clark didn't know if he should laugh or run by what he was seeing. Thanks to that bang Lois's hair was now a deep, dark reddish colour but was in complete mess and her scrawl wasn't helping the situation either.
"I know you like to make speedy entrances Clark" Amelia growled "But knock before barging in and--what's so funny?"
"Nothing" Clark said, trying his best not to laugh at the hair that may as well be a nest in an over leafy tree.
Amelia did not buy it. She reached up to her hair and felt the nesty hair, then Clark burst out laughing at her expression. If only it was Lois then he would have a real fun time.
"You know lying does not suit you well Clarkie" Amelia said "If you want to get away with it I suggest a thick pair of glasses because your eyebrows quirk when you lie"
"They do not" Clark said.
"Yes they do" Amelia said.
"Do not" Clark said.
"Do to" Amelia said.
"Do not" Clark said.
"Do to" Amelia said.
"Do not" Clark said.
"Do to" Amelia said.
"Do--"
"Oh for Christ's sakes, I'm over four hundred years old, making me wiser and more experienced than you" trying her best not blush on that part "I know what I'm talking about" Amelia said "And your eyebrows quick when you lie"
Shaking her head a turquoise mist puffed out around her hair for a moment before the hair no longer look like it could hold some eggs. Clark looked absolutely stunned at the sight of magic as she takes pieces of the silky locks behind her ears. Clark held back the urge to do it for her, he didn't know why but it felt right.
"Now I'm only going to guess this but your speedy entrance has to do with Lex, right?" Amelia said.
Clark suddenly became serious as he remember his friend's predicament.
"Dead on" Clark said "Isobel did something to his hands"
"Like what?" Amelia pressed on.
"He couldn't stop playing the piano" Clark said almost quietly.
"She's such an amateur" Amelia said, Clark looked at her in disbelief "I would have done something much better then that, I mean who uses that jinx anymore? I mean come on it's practically--" then notices Clark look "Sorry. How bad is his hands?"
"Pretty bloody" Clark said, narrowing his eyes at her but she didn't look affected.
"Must have been playing all night" Amelia said "Guess there won't be a need for an encore"
Clark began to realise there was a distinct difference and similarities between Amelia and Lois. Similarities: always thinks of family, friends and full of spunk. Differences: Lois humour was sarcastic while Amelia seem to be dark humour.
"That's not funny" Clark said, frowning in annoyance.
"Wasn't trying to be" Amelia said "He's resting now?"
"I got him to the hospital" Clark said.
"Always the hero" Amelia said.
"How much is Lois there?" Clark asked suspiciously.
"Wouldn't you like to know baby blue" Amelia smirked then grabbed an empty bottle "Now I need you to get some spring water" and handed it to him.
"Why don't you buy some at the shops" Clark said.
"You don't know where that stuff comes from and I don't trust this centaury" Amelia said "And it has to be closest one to where Chloe and Lana have been born"
"There's one near Metropolis" Clark said.
"Well it's high ho high ho it's off to Metropolis you go" Amelia said pushing him towards the door .
Jason is in Lana's apartment looking at the cover of the spell book at night. A fire lights itself in the fire place and Jason looks at it as Lana enters behind him. "You really shouldn't play with that" Isobel said in playful yet dangerous manner "You might hurt yourself" "I heard you and the girls were the life of the party last night" Jason said "One last fling before I finish what I started a long time ago" Isobel said, Jason begins to walk towards her slowly "You don't want to get in my way" "Who are you?" Jason asked"Qui est-ce que vous pensez?" Isobel asked in French.The feeling of dread erupted Jason's body as he whispered "Isobel?""In the new flesh" Isobel said as she cackled. "What did you do with Lana?" Jason asked coldly."She's in here somewhere" Isobel said, touching Lana's body like it was a map of some kind. "Could you let her out?" Jason asked. Isobel begins to laugh louder than before "Now, why on earth would I ever do that?"Jason frowned as his eyes looks towards the red spell book "You know, all this started when Lana found this book" he said as he picks up a kitchen lighter and clicks the flame to life, holding it above the book "So, I'm guessing if anything happens to this book…"
Isobel wiggles her finger as if saying "Come here" to the spell book, and it is suddenly out of Jason's arms and in hers "You have no idea what you're dealing with, little man" then points to the wall "Porta!"
Jason flies across the room and crashes against the wall, falling to the floor. Isobel points at Jason "Suus summum"
Jason rises against the wall until the side of his face is pressing against the ceiling, bending his neck dangerously. "So now you begin to understand" Isobel said almost childlike "You are not but an insect in my path to be crushed on the journey toward greater things"
Isobel holds her hand out and pink energy floats above it. She laughs as Jason struggles against the force that is holding him to the wall. Suddenly Clark enters the apartment and sees what is going on. He was passing the talon with the last of the potions ingredients when he heard the commotion going on in. "Put him down!" Clark shouted.
Isobel looks at Clark, smirks and then whips her hand in the direction of the window. Jason flies across the room and crashes through the glass. Clark super speeds out of the apartment and down to the street outside, catching Jason. "Jason! Are you okay?" Clark asked
Jason is too weak to answer and falls unconscious. His face is cut up from the broken glass. Clark's suddenly see something pink lit by a fiery glow from the corner of his eye and he looks at the side of the building where he sees the words "The barn midnight" written in flame. Clark quickly x-ray the apartment to see Isobel was there, finding no trace of her he picks Jason up and super speeds back into the place.
"Amelia!" Clark shouted.
Like a crack of a whip Amelia appeared in a blue mist.
"What now?" Amelia asked then sees Jason "Oh no"
"Keep an eye on him, I'm going back to the barn" Clark said after he places Jason on the armchair.
"What? Wait! I am no baby sitter!" Amelia said as she grabs Clark before he could make a speedy exit "You are staying right here buster!"
"Isobel would be waiting for m-" Clark said.
"No you bloody can't you little bint!" Amelia shouted "Jesus! Even Lois could see it! You are so obsessed with Lana that you clearly can't see the bigger picture"
"Which is?" Clark asked angrily.
"It's a trap you big lug!" Amelia said "You can't think clearly when your in Lana land can you?"
"Yes I can"
"No you can't"
"Yes I can"
"No you can't"
"Yes I can"
"No you can't"
"Yes I can"
"No you can't"
"Yes I-"
"I think we had this conversation before! Me older and wiser. You younger and an idiot" Amelia said.
"You don't care what's going to happen as long as you get rid of them!" Clark said
"Of course I care!" Amelia said "Why the hell would I be warning you if it wasn't a trap! My goddess you are worse than Numan! At least he could see my point of view but no! you have to be whiney pain in the arse because your ex is now being possessed by a bitch witch. Not that it would make any difference anyway!"
"Whatever the happened to you and Isobel is past Amelia!" Clark said "Don't drag Lana or Lois into it!"
"Bit too late for that Clark!" Amelia snarled "Unless you haven't notice we happen to be doing body snatchers right now. Isobel is a powerful witch! You are bloody mouse and she is a lion, don't you think it would be suicide?"
"Amelia I can handle her" Clark said.
"Did you not hear me?" Amelia exasperatedly sighed "A witch against a farm boy. Hmm. Who do you thinks going to win?"
"Amelia, I'm sorry" Clark said.
"Well about ti-" Amelia caught that look in his face, she narrowed her eyes at him suspiciously "Whhhhhhhhhhhy?"
"For this" Clark said and tapped his finger against her forehead.
Amelia eyes rolled back as her body went slack to be gently caught by Clark. At that moment Clark felt very guilty, he promised himself he would never hit a woman so he wasn't quite sure on the tapping part. Picking her up gently his place her on the couch with a pillow gently laid beneath her head. Looking at her Clark pushed a lock away from her head, she looked breathtakingly beautiful at that moment. He couldn't help but look at Lois's full pouty lips, the way they felt against his before made him lean over and kiss her. At least when he kiss her she wouldn't wake up to hit him over the head unlike the stories. Sighing he got up and head for the door.
Clark enters his barn. He looks around and doesn't see anyone. Isobel speaks from the loft and Clark turns around to see her standing on the upper level.
"You're early. You're not planning something devious, are you, Clark?" Isobel said "Or is it the other witch got you like a puppet on a string?"
"How do you know about her?" Clark asked.
"Oh please, we thought Briana was in trouble when she disappeared" Isobel said "But apparently Briana wasn't 'around' to be actually be in trouble"
"You should have seen it Clark" Madeline said as she appeared to Isobel's right "We were so worried that our sister witch was gone"
"Chloe" Clark whispered.
"Don't worry Clark she's fine" Madeline said with full of spunk "We all went through it, not a scratch, right Briana?"
Wait did she just say… Clark thought
"Quite right" Briana said as she came to Isobel's left, in the form of Tina.
Oh crap
"We were thinking of tracking down the witch that took my body" Briana said "But we thought we'd deal with you first"
"What are you going to do to her?" Clark said as he began to back away slightly, assessing how to deal with situation now that were three witches.
One witch bad.
Two witches even worse.
Three witches bend over and kiss your ass goodbye!
Double crap
"Nothing compared to what we're going to do to you" Isobel said."Surgite!" Briana cried
Briana points at a large wooden wagon wheel, and it rises into the air and flies at Clark, knocking him across the barn. He lands on the ground, and the girls come down the stairs as Clark stands back up, unharmed. "This needs to stop before it gets out of hand" Clark said"So you're more than just fast" Isobel said, mildly impressed "Well, that'll make this a whole lot more exciting"
Madeline smiles at Isobel, then steps forward holding her arms out to both sides and then bringing them together and said "Incede!"
Several tools rise into the air including pliers, a wrench, and a blade from an electric saw. They come together in front of Madeline, then fly at Clark one by one. He shoots bolts of heat vision at each tool, knocking them all out of the air. All three women watch him, astounded. "I don't want to hurt anyone" Clark said
"Your magics are impressive" Isobel said "Magic?" Clark said, wouldn't call that magic
"But so are mine. Evertere!" Isobel said as she points to Clark and he rises high into the air, convulsing in pain "We have traveled through the ages to complete our quest, outwitting death itself! We will not be outdone by some farm boy with a few tricks"
Isobel lowers her hand and Clark drops to the floor. Madeline and Briana both kneel down next to him.
"He's not what he seems, Isobel" Madeline said
"I can feel his power" Briana said.
"Then perhaps we should rid him of it" Isobel said.
Clark looks up at them with bruises on his face and blood dripping from his lip. He knew he had try something, but in the back of his mind he knew he should of listen to Amelia."Chloe. You gotta help. I know you're in there" Clark said looking at Madeline.
"Clark?" she looks into his eyes seriously but almost confusedly. "Listen to me" Clark nodded "You gotta help me"
She looks distressfully from Clark to Briana. Then she breaks into hysterical laughter, revealing that she was only pretending to be affected by Clark's words making Briana laugh too. Isobel then kneels down over Clark and rips his shirt open, putting her hands on his bare chest. She chants in Latin quietly.
A bright light begins to shine out of Clark's chest and a long purple-white string of energy flies from Clark and out of the barn."It is done" Isobel said "His powers are gone.
The girls stand up and back away from Clark who is now unconscious. They smile down at him triumphantly.
The sun began to rise through the broken window of Lana's apartment. Spraying across one very sore witch.
"Oh my head" Amelia as she got up from the couch.
"Hey take it easy" Jason said as he appeared by her side.
"Jason?" Amelia questioned.
"And you're Amelia" Jason said with a small smile.
"Wha-? How do you-?" Amelia panicked.
"It's okay, I know all about you from Google" Jason said "You were Isobel's enemy"
"Good to know you've done your homework" Amelia smiled
"Bit of an overachiever" Jason said.
"Good to know, not many are these days" Amelia said, secretly scorning Lois "Do you know about Isobel and the link between her and Lana? How she was possessed?"
"Lana was touching this page on this book-"
"Is it red?" Amelia asked.
"Yeah and something weird happened afterwards" Jason said "I think it has to do with that book"
"You believe Isobel is possessing her through that book?" Amelia stated.
"Exactly" Jason said.
"You are an overachiever" Amelia smiled like a mother would with a child, well she was four hundred years older than him!
Jason smiled back, it was hard not too. But Amelia face dropped when his scent hit her nose.
"Your lying" Amelia said, narrowing her eyes at him.
"What?" Jason confusedly said.
"Your ancestors killed witches" Amelia said "Of course you would know about me"
"Why do you say that?" Jason said, still looking confused.
"I have an extremely good sense of smell" Amelia said then add at his still very confused look "You honestly don't know?"
"Well now I do" Jason said, knowing his ancestors had killed witches but Amelia with held a little fact back from her lips.
"You'd do very well staying out of Isobel's way if she finds out your ancestors" Amelia said "Where is Clark?"
"Clark?" Jason asked "What about him?"
"Oh no" Amelia moaned as panic started to settle in as she got up "I got to get to him"
"Why? What happened?" Jason asked.
"He's gone after Isobel" Amelia said as she held her head.
"WHAT?" Jason shouted.
"Not so loud, I've got a headache" Amelia moaned in pain.
"Sorry" Jason said.
She then spots the potion mix and the spring water Clark left behind. She moaned that she had to finish the damn potion and whether Clark was alive or not she couldn't help that her wiccan duties was putting her auto pilot.
"What time is it?" Amelia asked as she grabs the water and then her mixing bowl.
"What are you doing?" Jason asked
"What time is it?" Amelia asked again impatiently as she adds the two together on Lana's kitchen work surface.
"Sevenish" Jason said, realising she making a potion.
"Near sunrise" Amelia said
"What are you making?" Jason said.
"Something that would put Isobel out of comition for good" Amelia said "And if Clark's still alive I'm going to kill him!"
Clark's hands are chained to a wooden railing above him in the barn as the sun breaks through the gaps of the wood. He struggles to get free but can't. Briana, Isobel and Madeline watches him in amusement. Clark has bruises all over his face and blood trailing from his nose and lips from last night activities.
"He awakens" Briana said
"What have you done to me?" Clark asked weakly.
"We made sure you were no longer a threat, sorcerer" Madeline said
"I'm not a sorcerer" Clark said. "You're not? You sure?" Madeline said, a little distrustful.
"No. He's something else. Something special" Isobel said then looks as Clark "I could sense it when the magics were ripped from your body. I can taste it on you" she looks thoughtful for a moment before a deadly grin passed her lips "The three stones of power. You know of them, don't you? "I've never heard of them" Clark said but Madeline and Briana walk to Clark slowly.
"You've done more than hear of them" Madeline smirked "You've touched them" "We can feel it" Briana said almost lustily.
"There's more" Isobel said, looking at him like he was a bug about to be squished "You know where one of them is hidden""Tell us where it is, Clark" Madeline said as she runs her hand gently down Clark's chest. "Please tell us" Briana said "I don't know what you're talking about" Clark lied. "Let me cut it out of you" Madeline said as she claws her fingernails down Clark's chest, drawing blood. "Ah!" Clark cried out in pain.
"No!" Isobel said, Madeline stops hurting Clark, looking at Isobel questioningly "There are easier ways to get what we want"
Briana and Madeline backs away from Clark. Madeline licks the blood off of one of her fingers as Isobel comes toward Clark very slowly. "This body I inhabit. You have desires for it, don't you?" Isobel said "Well, it desires you too, Clark. Very, very much"
Isobel kisses Clark softly on the lips. "Demonstra" Isobel whispers.
Isobel kisses Clark again, slowly and sensuously, and Clark squeezes his eyes shut, he couldn't help feeling like he was betraying Lois. When Isobel finally pulls away as pink mist comes from Clark's mouth and surrounds Isobel as she steps back from him."The cave…" a slow whisper came from his unmoving mouth.
Clark looks at Isobel, startled by what he has just heard as she smiles. "Thank you, Clark" Isobel said "You've been very helpful" She holds up her right hand "Abige!"
A blinding pink light flashes in the barn and the three women are suddenly gone. Clark struggles against the chains binding him, but he still can't get free. A puff a blue mist and Amelia runs in.
"Fuascailte" Amelia muttered and Clark chains came undone sending him to the floor "You stupid stupid stupid boy!" pulling him up to his feet "How could you be such an idiot? Why couldn't you listen to me? You brainless, unintelligent, thick, dim-witted, obtuse, foolish, idiotic, stupid boy!"
"I think I got it the first time" Clark said.
"There is so many words I want to say to you but I would need a thesaurus cause they all mean the same thing" Amelia said.
"That I'm stupid?" Clark said,
"Glad that you admit it" Amelia said helping him to sit on the haystack.
"Hey!" Clark said.
"Look, the potion is done but I need some bottles, tiny glass bottles" Amelia said.
"There are some in the loft" Clark said "In the treasure box"
"Great, stay there" Amelia said, running towards and up the stairs to the loft.
"Like I have any choice" Clark muttered, feeling another wave of pain going through his system.
Amelia looked about the loof before finding the treasure box. Rustling through the pictures of Lana and other knick knacks she finally found some bottles.
"Perfect" she smiled.
She goes to grab them but stop when she spots something. Her eyes glistens when she pulls it out to reveal what it was. The bracelet with the blue square. Numan given it to her a long time ago.
"Numan" Amelia said, her voice cracking at the edges.
"Amelia, did you find it?" Clark called.
"Yes I found it" Amelia said as she puts the bracelet into her pocket and grabs the bottles before closing the lid.
Isobel, Madeline and Briana strut into the Kawatche caves. Isobel touches hersymbol on the stone wall with one hand as she holds her spell book in the other. "It begins to make sense" Isobel said "Why I was resurrected here in this time a thousand miles from my home. It was destiny"
All three women walk to the wall which hides the secret chamber for the stones of power. They stare at the wall lustily.
"Can you feel it? Calling to us. The first stone of power lies behind this wall" Isobel said "And with it, our magic shall increase tenfold. And when we possess all the stones, we shall walk on earth as gods among men. Reach out and seize what was meant to be" Isobel opens the spell book to a page with three symbols on it. She takes a deep breath and points at the wall "Murus scinde!"
The wall begins to open and a white lights shines out of the chamber. Isobel, Briana and Madeline all begin to chant as they walk toward the opening "Volutus vita nostra est. Volutus vita nostra est. Volutus vita nostra est. Volutus vista nostra est"
Inside the chamber, they look at the altar where rests the first stone of power."All of our suffering, all of our pain and persecution" Isobel said "It ends tonight" "And our future begins" Briana said"Take it, Isobel" Madeline said "Lead us to glory" "The first stone. How I've dreamed of this moment" Isobel said "And at last, it has arrived"
Isobel reaches for the stone slowly, but just before her hand reaches it, they hear a gun cocking. "Not quite" a voice said.
Isobel looks across the altar and sees Clark standing there with a shotgun with Amelia by his side. He is now wearing a shirt but his bruises are still present. Amelia did offered but he refused, making her roll her eyes at his male behaviour."You shouldn't have come, Clark." looking at Amelia "Who may you be" Isobel asked
"I'm hurt old friend" Amelia said "After all the tricks I taught you it crushes me that you don't recognise me"
Isobel eyes lightened up "Amelia, such a pleasure to see you in this day and age"
"And you" Amelia said "Got to say though you really need to stop this quest thing, it could get you killed"
"Bit too late for that" Isobel said.
"I was thinking more along the lines of an exorcist" Amelia said as she pulls out three bottles "Who's first?"
Isobel points to the bottles as a pink built up around her hands. The bottles were thrown out of Amelia's grasp. Clark made a dive for the stone only to have Madeline throw him aside with her magic. Blue energy was quickly emitted from Amelia's hand as she shot it out and managed to direct one at Briana. As soon as it broke against her body Briana screamed out in pain and then collapsed.
"One down…" Amelia smirked looking at Madeline and Isobel "…two to go" Clark quickly snaps out of his daze and then gets up, those girls can definitely pack a punch. Madeline and Isobel growled and shot out powerful pink magic at Amelia sending her into the wall.
"Amelia!" Clark shouted as he ran to her side."Silly boy" Madeline said. "We owe you a debt for revealing this chamber to us" Isobel said "We were going to let you live""I can't let you do this" Clark said."You don't have a choice" Isobel said
Isobel points to Clark's gun and whips her arm to the side, causing the gun to fly out of Clark's hands and across the room. "Bear witness, Clark Kent" Isobel said "to the dawn of a new age"
Isobel grabs the stone off of the altar. Almost immediately, it starts to glow white and burn her hand. She screams and drops it. Clark catches it before it hits the ground, and then he stands up slowly. The light from the rock begins to trail into his chest. When the light is gone, Clark's face is healed and he stares at the women strongly.
"His powers are restored" Madeline said "How?"
"I'm not from around here" Clark said"It doesn't matter. We took them from you once before" Isobel said "Do you really believe that this time will be any different?" "I'm counting on it" Clark said as his eyes turn orange-red, sending his heat vision at the spell book in Isobel's hand.
Isobel looks down at the page and the symbol representing Isobel begins to glow white "No!"
White energy shoots upward from the open book.
Clark wakes up and looks around, instantly sees that Amelia has disappeared. He stands up as the other girls awaken. "Why are we lying in the dirt?" Tina asks. "And what the hell are we wearing?" Chloe said"Are you okay?" Clark asked as he help Lana up."Clark, what happened?" Lana asked. "Well, let's just say that you haven't been yourself lately" Clark said.
Lana folds her arms over her chest, embarrassed by her clothing. Clark smiles at her.
From the shadows of the cave Amelia stands there watching the interaction. Her face saddens. She looks up at the drawing with the woman and her symbol. She remembered Numan drew that for her, he said she was his destiny. Although he was a crappy drawer she thought it was the most beautiful thing in the world and her heart broke. She looked back at Clark, if only he knew.
He looks so much like him, she thought sadly and slowly disappeared in the same colour of her symbol.
Clark comes down the stairs to where Martha is in the kitchen slicing fruit on the cutting board. "Well, look who's finally awake" Martha said."Mom. When did you guys get home?" Clark said in surprise."This morning" Martha said "Your dad is out there doing your chores"
"Sorry. I guess I overslept" Clark said, recovering from magical torture and spending an entire night trying to find Amelia could do that to you.
Clark gets a pitcher of juice from the fridge and pours a glass.
"Hey, Dad" Clark said when his father came in.
"Hey, Clark" Jonathon said "Son, is there maybe a little something you'd like to tell your mother and me?" holding up a sexy red and black bra.
"Where did that come from?" Martha quietly asked.
"From out in the barn" Jonathon said then looking at his son "In the hay"
"Clark…" Martha said, shocked at what she was seeing.
"It was magic" Clark said quickly.
"I'm sure it was" Martha said almost dazedly.
"No, I mean it really was. Look, I should not have thrown this party without talking to you guys. I know that. But it's the way things spun out of control" Clark said "It was Lana. Well, it wasn't Lana exactly. She was possessed by a witch who then cast a spell on us, and... that's how that happened"
"Son, I realize that, after all, this is Smallville. But witches and spells and…" Jonathon holds up the bra "...magic?"
Walking in Amelia smiled at the scene "Busted"
"I was wondering when you were going to pop up" Clark said.
"Us witches have a knack for that" Amelia smiled.
"Us witches?" Jonathan quirried.
"It is quite a pleasure to finally meet you Jonathon Kent and Martha Kent" Amelia with a warm smile.
"It's nice to meet you Lois" Martha said, looking very confused with her husband.
"My name is Amelia Lillian Myers" Amelia said.
Both senior Kent's blinked at her.
"Maybe this would clear things up" Amelia said then with a click of her fingers the bra that Jonathan was hold turned into red roses.
They both looked at the roses, then to each other before looking at Amelia.
"A-Amelia right?" Jonathon said, Amelia nodded "How did you do that?"
"Magic" Amelia said "Your son wasn't lying about it"
"So you're a witch then" Martha said.
"More along the lines of a wiccan" Amelia said "The word 'witch' has a bit of a bad aftertaste, seeing many of my kind being burnt while having that word being chanted for our death is not a nice thing"
"Must be" Jonathon said "So…when are you going stop…possessing Lois?"
"In about five minutes time" Amelia said "I was checking every crack and cranny to see if Isobel and her party might of left something behind. Then I checked up on Chloe, Tina and Lana, all fine by the way and now I'm checking up on Clark here" Amelia smirk "Thought it might have been hard on him since losing his kryptonian abilities and all"
The room fell silent for a moment before Martha said "Clark did you-"
"He didn't tell me" Amelia assured her "these however…" she pulls out the broken scissors, the scissors she tried to cut Clark hair with "…did"
"How do you know about the kryptonians?" Clark asked.
"That's kinda personal" Amelia said "but my advice is don't go to a barber shop, too much hassle"
"I'll keep that in mind" Clark said.
"Oh you better give Lois an extremely good excuse" Amelia said "I don't think it would be a wise thing for her to know what happen in the last 48 hours. Might be a bad thing" she waves the scissors about before placing them in from of him "if you know what I mean" and winks.
Clark smiles, he knew Lois would probably never tell anyone but that probably would depend on her mood and that was reliable as hell freezing over.
Amelia walks towards the sofa and lies down on it "I'll see you around…Smallville"
Amelia began to glow in a turquoise colour before there was blinding flash of light and…
"Smallville what the hell is going on?" Lois shouted.
…Lois was back in business.
"You were out for days Lois, we were getting worried" Clark said "Would have sent you to the hospital but we know how much you hate them"
"Oh okay…oh my god Chloe's party!" Lois screeched.
"Was magical" Clark said "Shall never be forgotten"
"Oh good…then how come I was-" Lois began
"You were overworking and bozzing and the nightmares must of knock you out" Clark said.
"For…how long?" Lois said.
"Do you really want to know?" Clark asked.
Lois thought a moment "maybe not" she looked over to the rest of the Kent's "I'm really sorry for the inconvenient Mr and Mrs Kent"
"That's okay honey" Martha said "We really didn't mind"
"Good, well, err I better be off" Lois said getting up from the sofa.
"Err Lois can I talk to you?" Clark asked.
"Sure Smallville, what's up?" Lois said.
"Outside" Clark said.
Lois shrugged and walked outside with Clark behind her. He gestures to the bench on the porch and they both sat down.
"What is it?" Lois asked.
"About that kiss-"
"What kiss?" Lois said.
"The kiss in the barn-"
"That was nothing" Lois said.
"It was?" Clark said "Didn't you feel anything from it?" he knew he did.
"I did" Lois said, swallowing down her pride as much as she hated to say this Clark needed honesty in his life "But-"
"But what?" Clark said
"Look Clark, the reason why I say the kiss is nothing is because you've just got out a relationship that some part of you still feels it's a part of" Lois said "Although I didn't mind the kiss itself, it was nice, but if your about spout poems of love to me after that crash and burn story between you and Lana, well, I don't think I want to be a part of it"
Clark looked down to the ground.
"Until you sort your broody butt out first, I don't think it would be the wise thing to do. Trust me been down that road before and it ain't pretty" Lois said "Besides even then you still have to work…" she gets up and smiled "…for me"
Clark head shot up to meet her twinkling eyes.
"See you around…" she kissed him on the cheek "…Smallville" and walks away in an almost skipping way, as he smiles after her.
1604
Amelia stopped in mid-stride, forcing Numan to stay still. Did she hear him correctly? She slowly turned to face him.
"Can you repeat that" Amelia asked "I think I didn't hear you properly"
"Can you show me?" Numan repeated.
"Are you serious?" Amelia asked.
"As always" Numan said.
"Why?" Amelia asked.
"On Krypton there is very little emotion to be shown and the display of affection…" Numan couldn't put the right words together.
"And you want to experience it" Amelia said.
"Yes" Numan said.
Amelia smiled warmly as she walks towards him "I guess I would be your first kiss then huh?"
"I believe so" he said as she stood in front of him.
Feeling like a little girl again Amelia stood up on the tips of her toes and gave him a quick peck on the lips return to the balls of her feet.
"That is affection?" Numan said "That was nothing compare to your earlier display"
"Fine" Amelia said.
She repeated her action to get closer but this time when her lips met his she kissed him slow and sensuously, taking her time as she let him get acquainted with her lips. To her shock and delight he responded back, taking the same action as she did only to wrap his arms around her waist to pull her closer. For a first timer she was surprise how he could kiss her and each movement he made was melting her heart. It was so good she wanted stay that way forever, except breathing became a real issue at that moment. Breaking the kiss she rested her forehead in his, panting.
"I always wanted to show you" Numan said releasing her.
"Well actions speak clearer than words" Amelia said "You sure I'm your first kiss?"
"Yes" Numan said.
Amelia smiles and walks away in an almost skipping way, as he smiles after her.
