She just needs to think about everything and about the two boys in her life. Kallos wants to tell Lisa and Joey “Thank you,” but she doesn’t want to look for them. There are so many people here, and she does feel bad for leaving early. She walks out of the door. It is dark, and she starts to wonder if she remembers where she is going. She is also thankful that she has on Sean’s sweater; it's so cold out here that she can see her breath.
Kallos starts walking past Sean’s car and down the driveway. She is about two miles from the Hunter’s house when she hears something behind her. It sounds like something or someone running. She can feel her heart speeding up. Kallos is worried, and she wonders if she can control her new power. She thinks about her hands heating up, and they do. She is so happy; she wants to jump up and down. About forty feet in front of her, she sees a man; he is at least six feet tall. He moves closer into the moonlight, and she sees his chocolate brown eyes glisten. “Brandon? What are you doing here?” Kallos is almost happy to see him; at least it’s not some serial killer after her. He moves closer.
“I came to make sure you were going to make it home safe. I cannot believe they let you be out here alone. Tell me, Kallos, are you afraid of the dark?” he asks. She is scared of the dark.
“Have you been following me since I left the house?” Brandon chuckles.
“Yes I have. I watched you leave, and I know that Sean and Ian were mad when they saw me leave after you. But they didn’t do anything because you scare them.” They are now only a couple feet from one another; Kallos backs up a little. She doesn’t want to be too close to him.
“Why are they scared of me? I wouldn’t hurt them,” Kallos asks. Then, she thinks about what she did to Sean in her room. She did hurt him there, and she really didn’t mean too. “Besides that one time, I wasn’t sure what I was doing. They have to know that. And what happened with Ian wasn’t my fault; I didn’t force him to touch me.”
“Well, goddess, you haven’t changed yet, and you already have a power. And a strong one on top of that. Do you know how rare it is to have a fire touch?” Kallos is done listening to Brandon. She needed time to think about things, and he isn’t helping. “Goddess, how does it feel to have Ian and Sean at your beckoned call? I thought you and Nikki were going to have it out tonight.”
“I wouldn’t have done anything,” Kallos said, and truthfully, she doesn’t know what she would have done. She knows that something is going on with Nikki and Ian. “And stop calling me ‘Goddess.’ That isn’t my name.” Brandon laughs.
“Can I call you, ‘Babe’ like Sean?” She turns to glare at him, and he starts to laugh harder. “Fine, fine, Kallos it is. You still haven’t answered my question, Miss Kallos.” She knows which question he is talking about, and she doesn’t think she has them at her beckoned call.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Kallos starts walking again. She doesn’t want the boys showing up at her house way before she gets there.
“You know exactly what I’m talking about. Before you, they wouldn’t do anything for anyone. And they have known you for what, five days, and you have them living with you. You even got Ian to give up on Nikki. She is like his drug; he always went back for more. When his demon blood isn’t trying to take him over, he wants nothing to do with her. Our bad boy Sean won't even look at another girl, and he is the biggest player in the world. You have him looking at just you. I say that they are both whipped.” She just found out more about Ian and Sean in three minutes then she had in an entire week with them.
Kallos already guessed that Ian and Nikki had a thing, and she could tell that Sean is a bad boy and a player. But they never told her anything; she just guessed. She can see her house and Sean’s car. She stops moving; she really doesn’t want anyone to see Brandon.
“I think you should go now.
