at Kallos, and she gives them a smile to break the tension that is building among the three of them. They just glare at her. Kallos narrows her eyes at both of them; there is no way that they are going to blame her for any of this. It’s not like she can control the attacks. “Why do you two look mad?” she said.
“Kallos, one of us is going to be with you at all times. We talked to your parents, and they agree with us. You will have one of us in your room when you are sleeping. If you need to use the restroom, one of us will be waiting outside the door,” Ian said, and she noticed he avoided her question. Kallos is just about to say something when Sean puts his finger to her lips and shakes his head. It's pretty crazy that her parents agreed to this. Just thinking about them always being around makes her stomach do jumping jacks.
“We’re going to be glued to your side, Babe,” Sean says and gives her his killer half-smile. Kallos is still waiting for her answer.
“Answer me!” she demands.
“We aren’t mad at you, we’re mad that we let you leave without us. I could sense the change happening to you and should have gone with you. If I would have run any slower, I wouldn’t have caught you in time before you fell down the stairs,” Sean says. Kallos can tell that he is telling the truth. So, now she knows who caught her, and she can feel herself smiling at him.
“I’m sorry. I did try to scream. By that time, I had already lost my voice. Thank you for saving me and taking my pain.” Kallos brings her hand to Sean's face and cups it in her hand. He turns his face into her palm and kisses it. She looks at Ian and grins at him. “Thank you for taking my pain.” Kallos does the same thing and brings her other hand to his face; he kisses it and puts his hand on top of hers.
At that moment, Kallos knows it’s too late to stop falling in love with the Hunter brothers because she is madly in love with both of them. They are like fire and ice, completely different in every way, but both are going to have her heart no matter what happens. Kallos feels her tears sliding down her face, and they start to wipe them away. The next time, Kallos is going to thank Aphrodite for giving her the best two guys in the world.
“I’ll bring you your dinner. I think you should stay lying down as much as possible. Ian will stay with you tonight.” Sean kisses her cheek. He walks to the door and turns to look at her. “Please stop scaring me like that, Kallos. I'm too young for a heart attack.” Then he is gone, and she is alone with Ian.
“So how is Aphrodite?” Ian asks her.
“She’s good. I met Apollo. You kind of look like him,” Kallos is remembering Apollo's long hair and his beautiful, blue eyes. Those same eyes are staring at her at this moment. Ian’s breath-taking smile is aimed at her, and she can see why girls would fall all over him. The one thing about the change that has been driving her insane is what will come with it. “What did you get with the change?” His baby blues sparkle with a something she can’t explain.
“Do you really want to see?” She nods and smiles at him. “Okay, I’ll show you. You might not get the same powers, so don’t get your hopes up. We do get special powers, and those would have to do with your Goddess.” He closes his eyes and lets go of her. He moves about two feet from her, and his eyes are still shut. All of a sudden, he is floating three feet off the ground. When he opens his eyes, they are glowing, and he is looking right at her.
Kallos sits up straighter to see him. He floats back to the ground slowly; he also shuts his eyes again. “I can also disappear. That makes me tired, so I don’t want to show you that. Apollo said that I would get more powers later on. He isn’t sure what I’ll get, though. Oh, and I can do this.” He puts out his hands. It looks like he’s holding a water balloon without the balloon. The water ball
