say from somewhere behind Sean and Ian. “Come on, Honey; you can help me.” Kallos figures her mom is talking to her dad because she hears him grunt. Her door shuts softly behind him as they leave, and the three of them are alone. When she goes to sit up, both of them are there to help her. Each grabs an arm and helps her sit up. Ian’s color is paler than normal, and Sean looks like he always does except for the worried look on his face.
“I’m fine, so you can stop looking at me like that.” They both narrow their eyes at her and frown.
“The last time you had an attack you gained a power. We didn’t get any powers until we went through the full change. So we are wondering if you might have gained a new power.” Sean has a good point. She wonders if she can do anything else. “Your new power might be spirit walking.” Kallos looks up at him and knows that the confusion is showing on her face. “Babe, I saw you outside your body.”
“How did that happen?” She asks.
“I don’t know. That is something you need to talk to Aphrodite about,” Sean says and moves closer to her. “When we went through the change, we only had our gods to help us. And we didn’t know what to ask.”
“Okay, I will talk to her tonight.” Ian moves to my other side and grabs her hand. “I didn’t want to end our date like that.” Kallos smiles at him, and he shakes his head.
“I had other plans,” he grins, and she hears Sean clearing his throat.
“I’ll get your drink from your mom.” Sean walks away, and she knows he is giving them sometime alone. Ian sits on the edge of her bed and puts her hand in his lap.
“You know, I brought you to one of my favorite spots. “
“You did?” Ian nods.
“Yeah, and I have never brought anyone there before. No one knows about it, not even Sean.”
“Well, your secret is safe with me.” Sean smiles and brings Kallos’ hand to his lips. He kisses it gently.
“Sean is with you tonight, and then, if you are up to it, you two will have your date in the morning.” There is knocking at the door. “Come in.” Sean walks in carrying a glass of ice water. “Well I should let you get some rest.” He leans down and kisses her and it isn’t a light kiss. It is one of their deep kisses that always takes her breath away. He slowly pulls away and smiles down at her. She is shocked about how much they love her, and seeing it through Ian’s eyes makes her so happy. “Good night, my love.”
“Good night,” she whispers. Sean walks over to her and hands her the glass of water. She smiles at him and he smiles back.
“Thank you again for helping me.”
“You scared the crap out of me when I saw you standing next to your body.”
“I didn’t even know what I was doing. The last thing I knew was when you caught me and ran me up to my bedroom. Then, I wasn’t in my body anymore. I could see everything and still feel everything. It was so weird.”
“Well, you need to talk to Aphrodite, but we can talk later. Your parents will be up in a minute, and they are pretty freaked out about what happened. They were asking me questions about how you were outside of your body. I only told them a little because I didn’t want to scare them.” That is probably the best idea; her mom would freak out. Her dad walks in first, and her mom is holding his hand but comes in behind him.
“How are you feeling, Sweetie?” Mom asks.
“Better, Mom. I don’t hurt at least.” Which is a lie. Some of the pain returns to her chest, and she knows that Sean knows. He gives her the ‘you’re lying’ look. “I’m sorry that this keeps happening.”
“Oh, Sweetie, we knew that it would happen to you, but we never thought it would be like this. It’s just hard because we can’t do anything to help you.”
Her mom looks at Sean. “At least you have Sean and Ian to help.” She smiles at Sean, and he blushes.
“I love you Mom and Dad. Thank you for letting them stay and help.” Kallos doesn't want to know how things would be without them.
“We love you too, KD.” Her dad walks
