grabs his phone and calls his mom. She will understand that Kallos needs him and Ian. Even though he wishes it was just him, if they both can take away her pain, then that is better.
“Mom?” Sean says into the phone.
“Sean, what's wrong?” He smiles, his mother loves him and his brother more than words can say. Some people think that her kind cannot love, but they’re wrong.
“It’s Kallos. She needs Ian and me to stay with her. She is starting the change, and Aphrodite said that her soul mate is the only one that can help.” He already knows she is going to say, “Yes.” She has already thought of Kallos as her daughter.
“You both need to be there?” Sean smiles.
“Yeah, Mom. It looks like things are going to get crazy.” He doesn't trust Ian to be alone with Kallos, not when Ian’s other side is about to come out at any minute.
“Please be nice to Ian. You’re brothers, and I know you love him.” Sean does love his brother. They may fight, but they are brothers. “Just come home after school and get your things.”
“Thanks, Mom.”
“You should tell your brother.”
“I will. I love you.”
“I love you too Sean.” She hangs up and he smiles. His mom is the best. He doesn't feel like talking to his brother right now, so he texts him:
Hey we are staying at Kallos’ house until she changes. I will tell you more later.
Then, he grabs some paper to write Kallos a love letter. If he has to compete with his brother, he is going to fight dirty.

As Kallos walks through the cafeteria, she notices that every person she walks by would stop what they were doing and stare at her. She rushes to the doors. When she is out, she takes a deep breath. She walks straight into her dad’s office; his secretary smiles at her. She walks right in and sees her dad on his computer; he’s just looking at the screen. He must have not heard her come in. “Dad?” She asks as he looks up at her and smiles.
“Hey, Sweetie,” he says; then his face changes and he stands up. “Is everything all right?” She smiles and nods. He always did worry about her.
“Dad, please sit back down. I’m fine.” He sits back down at his desk, and she sits in the chair in front of him. “I just have a favor to ask.”
His eyebrows scrunch together. “A favor? Okay, ask.”
“Well, last night I meet Aphrodite.” His eyes widen. She notices that his face is pale.
“She came to you? That means that it is almost…” She cuts him off before he can finish.
“Time, I know. She told me that there was a way for me to ease the pain.”
“How?” He looks at her as if she was lying.
“I need to find my soul mate.” She bites her lip because she really doesn't know how he is going to take this. He starts to laugh.
“Your soul mate? You’re sixteen. How will you know he is your soul mate?”
“She told me that it’s in the kiss and I would know.” She glances up and sees his face turn red, so she decides to finish before he can speak. “But there are two boys that take away my pain, and I think they should be with me all the time.” She just told her dad that she just kissed two boys and his face is crimson now.
“What do you mean all the time?” He says and puts his head in his hands.
“Well, I need one of them in every class.” She pauses and waits for him to answer. He slowly lifts his head and looks at Kallos.
“Fine. Who are the boys?” His color is starting to go back to his normal shade.
“Ian and Sean Hunter.” He nods and writes down their names. Now that the easy part is done, she has to go on. She takes another deep breath and looks straight at him. “There’s more, Dad. They need to be with me ALL the time, and that means at home too.” She notices that his face is turning red again and his eyes narrow.
“You want them to live with us?”
“We do have the spare room, and they would just be there to make sure what happened this morning won’t happen again. I know it was hard on you and Mom, but Dad they are the only ones who can take away my pain. I need them. Please Dad?” He doesn’t say anything
