Kallos (Kallos Series) - By Khelsey Jackson Page 0,19
on her mom’s face when she hands her a full plate that she is worried. Kallos gets up and hugs her mom tightly and kisses her cheek. “I love you Mom.” She notices that her mom has some tears in her eyes.
“I love you too baby.” They hug one last time, and then she pushes Kallos away. “Your dad is waiting for you. Have a good day.” Kallos waves at her mom who waves back. As Kallos walks toward the front door, she can see her dad leaning against the doorframe.
“Are you sure you want to go?” That’s her dad; he is always concerned. Kallos rolls her eyes and nods. “Then, let’s go.” Her mind takes her to what she has to do today, and wonders if she should talk to her mom about it. When they are in the car, she has another sharp pain; she shuts her eyes and she moans. “Kallos?” she can hear her dad say.
“I’m fine.” It seems that the pain is getting stronger, and it is lasting longer than before. She can feel the car being parked. “Can you give me a minute?”
“Yes, Sweetie.” He pauses for a second, “you have two young boys waiting for you.” She opens her eyes and can see Sean and Ian standing outside her car door. They look worried. She puts up one finger to tell them one minute, and they nod in sync. All of a sudden the pain is gone. Thank goodness, she really doesn’t know how much more she can take. Kallos looks over at her dad, and he is glaring at the boys. She wonders how much her parents really know. Did they know that one of these boys is her soul mate? They already know about the change.
“Feeling better?” He asks without looking at her.
“Yeah.” That makes him turn his attention to her. Kallos smiles, “I love you, Daddy.” He smiles, leans in, and kisses her forehead.
“I love you too KD.” Then he opens his door and gets out. She goes to open hers but it is already open; a hand is in front of Kallos and she takes it. She is gently helped out of the car, and is holding Sean’s hand and his other wraps around her waist. He looks upset. She smiles at him and he touches her face.
“Kallos,” he whispers, then pulls her into him. His head comes down to her shoulder, and she feels him take in a deep breath. She feels another hand on her back. Kallos lifts her head and can see Ian, and he looks just as upset. “You’re in pain.” She hears Sean ask from her shoulder.
“Yeah! It started this morning.” She looks around and notices that her dad is already at the front doors. He looks over his shoulder at her and winks. “Sean, can Ian and I have some time alone?” Kallos whispers.
His head comes up; he looks her in the eyes and nods. Sean takes the hand that he is holding and brings it to his lips and kisses it lightly. He gives her hand one last squeeze and then walks away. Kallos watches him walk all the way to the doors; he never looked back.

Sean is hurt that Kallos wants to be alone with Ian. He knows that Ian is going to brag about this and Sean just might hit him. Last night after he got off the phone with Kallos, his brother came home. Ian's eyes weren't black anymore, and Sean doesn’t want to find out what he did to change them. Now, he has to release his anger somewhere. He walks to his locker, but a red head is blocking it. Great, he doesn't want to deal with Mary. They were together for a few months, and he broke up with her. It isn’t fair that he couldn't give her his heart.
“Hey, Mary,” he says, and she slowly turns around. She is truly beautiful. Her bright green eye, pale skin, and bright red hair makes her stand out. Too bad there weren’t sparks when he was with her.
“You used to call me Red,” she says and pouts. When they dated, that is what he would call her, but it doesn’t feel right. All he can think about is Kallos and her sparkling blue eyes.
“Can I get to my locker?” Mary glares at Sean.
“I heard something about you” she says and puts her hand on his face. He stares down at her and her smile widens.
