question. “And you also get mysterious feelings that you can’t explain.” She nods again. “Then I would say sooner than I thought.” Kallos can hear a bell somewhere in the distance. “Kallos, I must go. Please find your soul mate soon. You will need him.” She leans down to kiss each cheek and hugs Kallos. She lets her go and starts to walk away from Kallos.
“Wait!” Kallos yells towards Aphrodite. “How can I get a hold of you when I need you?” Aphrodite smiles.
“That’s the easy part, my dear; just think of me. But you must think of this place or you’ll end up in the darkness, and I might not be able to find you. You must wake up now.” She watches Aphrodite disappear and wonders what she is going to do now. She closes her eyes and thinks of home. She thinks of her bed and of her room. She is just wondering if this is going to work when she opens her eyes.
CHAPTER FIVE
Kallos's alarm is beeping, and she jumps out of bed. Her heart is beating so fast; she thinks it's going to leap out of her chest. She takes a couple of deep breaths and closes her eyes. As soon as her heart slows down, she walks to the bathroom to get ready. In the shower, she starts to think about who her soul mate is. Is it Ian, the sweetheart? Sometimes, she feels like he could see through her and see all the secrets she has ever has. Or could the bad boy, Sean, be her one and only? The one who can make her blood boil? She moans. She knows what she has to do today. Kallos is scared. All of a sudden she has a sharp pain in her stomach. Dropping to her knees she screams in agony at the stabbing pain in her abdomen as if something is being forcefully shoved through. The door slamming against the bedroom wall.
“Kallos!” She hears her mom scream. “James!” She doesn’t want to have her dad to see her naked. It looks like she doesn't have much choice. She can feel the vibrations of her father running through the house. “Help her! I think it’s time!” Her mom says as she is crying. The pain isn’t getting any better; it seems to be getting worst.
“Sweetie, do you need my help?” Her dad asks.
“Yeah, can you hand me a towel?” She can hear the cabinet opening and someone reaches in to turn off the water. When she looks up, she can see a towel. She pulls herself up with the railing and grabs the towel someone is offering her. The pain is still there, but now it is a dull pain. Her dad’s hand is there to steady her, so she takes it. His other hand goes to her back for support. “Thank you.” She looks up to meet his eyes, and he nods then smiles at her. She glances at her mom; her ashen shade makes it obvious she is petrified. Kallos’ heart breaks for her mom, with down turned eyes her mom hands her a navy blue towel to dry off with. “Mom, I’m fine.” Her dad is still holding on to her as they walk past her to Kallos' room. Her mom follows behind them.
“Pancakes are ready downstairs.” Her mom says and walks past them to go down the stairs. Kallos can feel the tears forming in her eyes. She has to blink rapidly so they wouldn’t fall. As her dad walks her to her bed, she looks at him.
“Does Mom hate me?” He looks down at her and shakes his head.
“No, Sweetie. You just scared her, that’s all. She can never hate you. You know, you don’t have to go to school today.”
“No, I need to go. I’ll be down in a bit.” He nods at her and heads to the door. He stops, but doesn’t turn around. “I love you, Kallos.” Then he shuts the door behind him.
As soon as she hears the door shut, she starts to cry. Just yesterday, they were all happy, and now they can barely look at her. She wipes her tears away and goes to her dresser. She finds her favorite long sleeved, light pink shirt and her tight, black pants. She goes to her closet and grabs her short black boots. If she has to be kissing two tall boys, she is going to need some height. Oh man, she has never kissed a guy and now she's supposed
