She hates bugs and will admit that they terrify her. She walks back to the pond, and for the first time, she sees fish, huge gold fish and some others she doesn’t recognize. So, this place does have life besides the flowers. She looks up at the sky, and its flawless ocean blue color with no clouds. The sky reminds her of Ian’s eyes. She knows she needs to get back so she prepares herself to do so.
CHAPTER TWENTY
Kallos thinks about home and everything in it. It doesn’t take her long to be back in her bed. It's morning, which is great. She loves when she is gone; it takes her whole night away. She glances over at Sean, and he is sound asleep. He looks so peaceful. The blanket isn’t covering his chest, so she has a great view of his beautiful chest and abdomen. Kallos peeks over at the clock and notices that it is an hour before she needs to be awake. Slowly she gets out of bed and walks as quietly over to her dresser. She wants to start getting ready. Her door is already open, that is the major rule. They have to leave the door open when they sleep. Kallos walks out and down to the bathroom; she notices the house is noiseless. She looks over to her parent’s room and their door is wide open. She walks over to it and sees that her mom already made the bed. She walks back to the bathroom; she wants to take a shower first.
After her shower, she goes straight down stairs. Kallos walks into the kitchen and doesn’t see her mom or dad. But she does see a note attached to the fridge. She walks over to it:
We went out for breakfast. We won’t be back until this afternoon. So, Kallos and Sean have a good time on your date.
She knows that her mom wrote the note. She isn’t very hungry, so she grabs an apple. It's weird that her parents aren’t here; they never leave her alone. Well, she isn't alone; she has Sean and Ian here. She starts to think about what Aphrodite and she talked about. Aphrodite told her that she could choose between Sean and Ian at her graduation. That gives her three years to decide. Kallos knows that it won’t be easy to choose, but she has to. She looks up as Ian walks in. He smiles, and her fingers go to the amazing bracelet. She still hasn’t taken it off, and she never plans too.
“Good morning, Angel” Ian says and looks around; when he looks at her, he raises a questioning eyebrow.
“They went out to eat. I need to get ready for today.” Kallos still has no clue what she is doing today, but wants to be prepared. She starts to walk toward the doorway, and Ian steps in her way. She is starting to like this new Ian; he is more aggressive and demanding.
“Aren’t you going to tell me good morning? Or if you talked to Aphrodite?”
“Good morning, Ian,” Kallos whispers. The effect that Ian and Sean have on her sometimes makes her forget her own name. “Aphrodite said that I could spirit travel and my change will be coming soon. She doesn’t know when though.” She can see the corners of his lips rising in a smile, and his baby blues are starting to change. “Are you okay?” As soon as she asks him, he closes his eyes, and when he reopens them, they are back to normal.
“I’m fine. And that is a good thing about your spirit traveling. Sean and I didn’t get anything until we changed. So, maybe this is a sign that you will be the one with most of the powers.” There is something not right about him today. Maybe he is still worried about her, and that is why he is acting so different. As Kallos sees the dark blue sneaking out, she wonders if he even knows its happening.
“Yeah, maybe,” she says and moves away from him. She sits at the table. Sean walks in, and is still in his pajamas pants, and he put on a shirt. He smiles at Kallos and nods at Ian; Ian rolls his eyes and sits across from her. Sean and Kallos share a look, and she knows that he is thinking the same thing. “My parents went out for breakfast, so it’s just us.” Sean nods and sits next to her.
“Are you still up
