Kallos (Kallos Series) - By Khelsey Jackson Page 0,22
dangerous road, Brother.” Sean moves his arm away from Ian's throat. Now, Ian can feel the darkness taking over him, also. He watched his brother go through this, and he was hoping he wouldn’t get what his mother has. Too bad he isn't more like his dad. Ian shoves Sean away. There used to be a time when Ian couldn't move Sean away. Now he is stronger; it's his mother’s genes.
“Kallos met Aphrodite last night!” Sean's eyes widen; he knows what that means; her time is coming. The last time Aphrodite showed herself, Acidalia was taken within days.
“We haven't had any time with her yet. I thought we would be with her longer,” Sean looks at the ground. Ian can see the sadness in his eyes. He is feeling the same; he wanted more time with Kallos before she changes.
“You never know; she might make it. Aphrodite said that there is a way that Kallos won’t feel all the pain.” Ian can remember how painful the change is and how he thought his insides were being torn out. He thought he was dying and even prayed that he would. He wouldn’t even wish that on his worst enemy.
“Well, whatever it is, then we’ll do it,” Sean says and moves away from Ian.
“She has to find her soul mate, and I think she already did,” Ian says, knowing that Sean isn't going to be too happy about it. But the truth is Ian is terrified. Ian has never felt so much in one kiss, and when he kissed Kallos, he thought the earth was shattering around them.
“She hasn’t kissed him yet.” Sean asks and winks at Ian.
“We'll see, Brother, we will see,” Ian says and walks out of the bathroom.

Kallos walks into Mr. Nelson’s class on cloud nine. She looks around and sees Kellee and Karissa sitting in the back. There is a desk open, so she goes to it. As she is sitting down, both girls look at her and grin.
“What?” she asks.
“So you and Ian are a couple now?” Kellee asks and Karissa doesn't give her anytime to answer.
“You sure don’t waste any time do you?” Karissa mumbles.
“Hmm…Obviously not.” Kallos still needs to kiss Sean, and the thought of that makes her blood boil.
“We saw you two kissing this morning before school. It looked pretty intense.” Kellee says and Karissa is nodding her head in agreement. Great, Kallos wonders who else saw.
“It’s all over the school now?” Kallos looks at the two girls and narrows her eyes.
“We didn’t say anything. Gosh, Ian is my best friend, and I would never gossip about him no matter what. I want to know if you are going to hurt him?” That explains why Karissa is always talking to him.
“I don’t want to hurt Ian. He’s a sweetie,” Kallos says.
“Good” Karissa says as the Mr. Nelson tells them to stop talking. Kallos opens up her math book and tries to listen to what he is saying, but her brain is somewhere else. She can't stop thinking about her and Ian's kiss. What if Sean's kiss really did set her on fire?
When lunch comes, Kallos is a little happy but mostly scared. Yesterday, the boys brought her to part of the cafeteria where no one else was sitting. More posters plaster the light blue walls. She wonders if they are going to do that again, or will it be just Sean? She is just about to walk into the cafeteria when she sees him. His gray eyes meet hers, as he smiles warmly at her approach.
“Hey, Babe!” She smiles back at Sean. “Ian had to go home, so it’s just us” he says and winks. She knows that this will be the time when she will kiss him. He doesn’t take her hand instead he puts his hand on the middle of her back to escort her in. As they walk through the cafeteria, she notices that most of the kids are looking at them. She keeps her head up and walks to the lunch line.
They walk to the isolated part of the cafeteria. Sean leads Kallos to the same table they were at yesterday. She sits first and he sits to her left. She isn't really hungry, so she pushes her food away. She has way too much on her mind. She has been feeling the dull pain, but now it is completely gone. This confuses her. How can her pain disappear around each of them? Kallos thought her soul mate was the
