A Fall into Darkness

Her Dark Heart

Clark had never really been son intrigued by someone as he was Katherine. He did care for her that much he did know but he wasnt sure if she even knew how to love anymore.
"Yes I know how to love." She said suddenly.
"I forgot you can read thoughts."
"Its fine, you have the right to question if I can after what you saw tonight."
"Yes."
"I can and do, that is why I asked your friends to make sure my creator is still in his crypt."
"He could do what?"
"Kill indiscriminately, if he is free it would be the first time in three centuries since he has fed and he will kill everything in site, then once he finds his way in this new world he will then come find me. Then he will either chose to kill me or make me his slave along with anyone that is in his path."
"A slave?"
"Yep, he will put me in chains I can not break and make it so I can never leave him. Unless I destroy him first. I have bad along time without him, honed my skills, I am stronger than he is. And I will not allow him to control me again. His followers are many but I will move through this world and kill them all, and he knows it. The sun has yet to rise let us find a few of his spys here in the city they always have whispers of their masters return."
"I don't kill you know this."
"You also must understand that I am a demon a creator of habit and I will do what is necessary to stay alive. Even if that means killing a few humans in the process. I have lived a long life trying not to take more than I need but if my life is threatened or even yours I will do what is necessary."
"I know, it's just not something I am looking forward to. I never thought I would have to see that side of you."
"My darkness will never leave me Clark, your love just keeps it in check."
"I kind of guess that. Come on, we've got less than two hours before the sun comes up."
"Clark I need your word that no matter what I do, no matter how it looks I do this to keep you and I and all of the world safe. If he awakens he will destroy this world one country at a time. When I was made, the world was cruel, I learned early to survive in it you had to be strong. I became a monster because my cousin didn't want me around for fear I would take his kingdom away so he married me off to an English Nobleman, that man was more than he seemed and on our travels back to England he changed me. I was devastated that I had become a monster, then I grew to enjoy it. But he became cruel to me, so with what magic I did know I imprisoned him in his coffin in a crypt until such time as the world mourns the loss of a great hero."
"Me."
"Yes but when you returned and he yet to rise I felt that maybe he was still trapped. I fear for your friends. But Bruce has dealt with me and my creator Nikolas is currently weaker than I am."
"I know your world Katherine and I know its darkness, I just hope that you don't let it take over who you truly are."
"This is who I truly am Clark. Come I have people to speak to before the sun rises."
"Alright." Clark answered. They stepped out onto the balcony and he lifted her into his arms and took to the air.
"Where to?"
"Same side of town I hunt. They are always watching me."
""Alrignt." He said to her. Katherine knew he was uncomfortable with the idea of her killing and he didnt want to have to hurt her to stop her, would be able to stop her now that he cared so deeply for her? He looked down and they landed behind a large building.
"I would suggest you head for a roof top and watch from there."
"Alright." He said heading to a roof where he could see her. She approached a sandy haired young man.
"You a follower of Nikolas?" She asked, he turned and looked into her onyx colored eyes.
"I will always follow my master. His time is at hand. It has been fore told that he has returned."
"When?" She asked moving closer.
"He came to us and told us he was seeking his fledgling, if we found her we were to capture and bring her to him. So Mistress Katherine you will be coming with us."
"I doubt that." She said to him, she reached out suddenly and grabbed him by the throat.
"Where are the others and I no longer travel alone."
"We know the Kryptonian travels with you, we are to bring him as well."
"Again hardly." With one movement of her hand see snapped his neck. She turned and knew it meant this was an ambush she needed to get to Clark before they did.
