Kallos (Kallos Series) - By Khelsey Jackson Page 0,14

thumb tenderly along the mark, and she could feel the raised skin bubbling up from his birthmark. Kallos looks up to meet his eyes, as he smiles at her. “There is so much about to happen to you. Let us help you through it.” He whispers, and her head lowers her head; she can feel her tears wanting to break free.

“Baby,” Sean whispers as he wipes away the tears that she didn’t know was falling. “Please, don’t cry.” He leans in and kisses her forehead. Ian is still holding her other hand, and his thumb is rubbing her wrist. Her mind is racing; she has a million thoughts racing in all different directions. She doesn't know where to put them in her already confused brain.

“I need to go.” She briskly stands up, and her quickness catches them off guard. Kallos turns her head to the side to find them starting to stand to follow her. She shakes her head. “No I need time to think about all of this.” She says and walks away

Sean and Ian watch Kallos walk away. They know that they can't follow her. She needs her time to make sense of everything. Ian slowly stands up, but doesn't take his eyes off of Kallos.

“Maybe we went too far.” Ian says as more of a question rather than a statement as he looks at Sean. Sean can see frown lines proving the guilt Ian is feeling and Sean seems to be feeling the same guilt.

Sean shakes his head and walks over to his brother. “We only told her what she needed to know. It's not our fault that her parents didn't tell her.” There is still more that she needs to know, but now isn't a good time to tell her.

“We shouldn’t have said anything. Maybe Aphrodite should have told her.” Ian says. They didn't have a warning. They found out about themselves through their dreams when they were visited by Apollo and Aries.

“Yeah, we should have, but we can't go back now. Aries didn't tell me not to tell her.” He doesn't see Aries much anymore, not like he used to before the change. He checks up on Ian once in a while.

“I understand, but you saw her face. I don't think she is ever going to talk to us again.” Ian says and starts walking to the door.

“Don't worry little brother; she will. Besides Kallos is my soul mate.” Sean smiles and Ian turns around. The look on Ian’s face is priceless and it makes Sean laugh.

Ian walks over to Sean and shoves him with a loud thud into the wall, which stops his laughter in mid chuckle; this draws the attention of the nearby students eating their lunch. “I am sick of hearing that. You don't get it; she’s mine!” Sean could see the darkness in Ian’s eyes. It was almost taking all of his blue away.

“Ian, you need to breathe. Come on, man, just breathe. Think of something happy; you can get through this.” Sean knew all too well about the other half that was trying to break through Ian. He has been there, and it isn’t fun.

Ian starts to laugh and tightens his hold on Sean. “Breathe? Ha! Just stay away from her.” He shoves Sean a little harder, and then lets him go. Now his eyes are completely black.

“Ian, we should call Mom. She'll know what to do.” Ian doesn't say anything but shakes his head. “Ian, have you see your eyes? You know what she told me. If the blackness stays too long you might not come back.” Ian glares at Sean then turns around. “Ian! If you don't tell her I will!” Sean yells as he watches Ian walk away. Sean knows that if Ian doesn't control his other half, he’ll lose.

Kallos has to get away from them. She feels as if her whole world is crashing down around her and there is no way out. She walks quickly through the hallway and doesn’t look at anyone. Instead of heading to her class, she goes straight to the front door. When she’s walking out, she takes a deep breath and holds it in. Kallos is feeling like she might pass out; her vision starts to blur and darkness starts to take over. Besides the boys the first thing she has set in her mind is to talk to her parents.

She decided that she is going to walk home. She doesn’t want to be at school anymore or want to
