Safe ( Smallville Fanfic)

An Odd Change

Katherine walked down the stairs early one morning and saw that the Kent's were sitting around the table talking.
"Where's Clark?"
"At the college he went to go see Chloe.  He didnt tell you?"
"Since the incident at graduation he hasn't shared allot. I wonder if he feels like what happened was his fault."
"Wouldn't surprise me. Our son can be one to think allot of things are his fault. "
"Clark didn't shoot me. Jason did, it wasn't his fault Jason snapped like he did. Hell I didn't even see it coming."
"He will be fine. He does have that new teacher of his."
"He seems a little off. I hope I am just overthinking it."
"Maybe. How are you feeling anyway.  I see the limp is gone."
"Yeah, Clark was supposed to go with me for latest appointment but I guess he forgot. "
"I can go with you if you would like." Martha said to her. Katherine nodded and headed towards the door.
"I should be ok. Maybe he will just meet me there. I am not upset just find it weird he forgot."
"He just got back to school. Things are just getting back into the swing of things. Be careful while driving are you sure you dont want me to come with you? That way you dont have to drive? "
"Probably wouldn't be the worst idea.  Thanks Mrs. Kent."

Clark arrived at the house hours later,  Katherine was in the barn when he came in. She looked up as he came in and looked at him oddly as she could see the anger in his blue eyes.
"Clark what's wrong?" She asked standing she moved to his side. She placed her hands on his arm. He looked down at her hands and saw the cast was gone but yet didnt seem to register what was going on around him. But yet he also seemed to not want to hurt her. He grabbed her shoulders and pulled her close to him.
" I will not allow anyone to take you from me. "
"Uh um ok. I wasnt going anywhere. Are you ok? You dont look right."
"Why would you leave me?"
"I wouldn't. Clark I love you more than anything. Why would I leave you.  You nearly died and I nearly lost you more than once. I wouldn't leave you."
"You were going to leave just like everyone else."
"No I wasn't.  Clark you know that.  What's wrong?"
Katherine looked at him, her hands still on his chest. He looked down at her hands and then into her violet eyes. He grabbed her by the throat and lifted her up.
"Killing her will only break you."
"She is going to leave me."
"No shes not. Let her go." He said to him. Clark dropped Katheirne down to the floor, Katherine gasped for air while stars danced before her eyes as she tried to stay conscious. Finally her eyes rolled back and she passed out.

Clark sat with her on the couch in the barn. He held her head in his lap while he ran his fingers over her face. She opened her eyes and looked up at him.
"Hey."
"Hey."
"You ok now? Because that was just nuts."
"Yeah sorry about that. I was exposed to some weird form of kryptonite and it made me paranoid. Kat I could have killed you."
"But you didnt. Clark you weren't in control. I'm glad your okay. Clark you know I would never leave you.  As you've told me I am your heart you are mine. I am safe and free with you."
"And even if I don't say it I feel the same with you. Kat, I have never been this open with someone not even Chloe. I feel I can share anything with you and I just feel like we are one person."
"Clark in our own way we are.  Please never doubt my love for you. And never think I would ever ever leave you for anyone. I have a feeling you are stuck with me." Katherine said with a smile and slight laugh.
"Come on let's go inside I have a feeling I have allot of people to explain to."
