Excerpt from Kallos:
“We didn’t have any aftershocks,” Sean replies.
“We also didn’t have someone taking our pain. Maybe we’re
causing more pain.” Ian looks concerned. She feels
someone touch
her right arm. She feels a cooling sensation enter her
body, but the
pain is still there.
“Babe, look at me,” Sean says.
“What do you think you’re doing?” Sean didn’t answer Ian.
“You can’t be serious! What if it doesn’t work? What if
you do
more damage?” Kallos finally looks up and notices that
Sean isn’t
even looking at Ian. Sean’s gray eyes are looking at her,
and they
have gone stormy.
“Good. Where do you hurt?” he asks her.
“My head and my whole left side” she whispers. Sean nods
and
puts both of his hands on either side of her head. Along
with the
pain, she now feels an intense pressure. It feels like
he’s pushing
her skull in. Kallos starts to see dark spots fill her
eyes. She is just
about to scream; then, she hears a loud pop. All she can
see is
darkness.
“Open your eyes,” Sean whispers against her ear. Kallos
didn’t
realize that she had shut them. Slowly, she opens her
eyes, and
Sean is only inches from her face. She sees Ian standing
not far
behind him. He doesn’t look happy; he looks like he wants
to hit
something. “I’m going to put my hands on your body now.”
Now,
Ian’s face turns a bright red. If she didn’t know any
better, she
would say he’s jealous. Then, he growls when Sean starts
to touch
her neck on the left side. Sean hears him because she can
see a grin
spread across his face. “Easy, brother,” he says and
chuckles.
Kallos glances behind Sean, and Ian isn’t settling down;
he seems
to be getting angrier.
“Sean, you don’t know if you are going to help her or do
more
damage!” This does alarm her. She really doesn’t want
more pain
or damage. Kallos doesn't think she can handle too much
more.
She knows that Sean would never hurt her, and her head
has
stopped hurting. So, that’s a plus… right?
Sean decides to ignore Ian’s protests. He's moving his
hands
slowly down her body. As he does, the same cooling
sensation is
there, and so is the pressure. The pressure is almost too
much, but
just when Kallos can't handle the pressure, it turns back
into
coolness. When Sean gets down to her hip, he pulls his
hands away
slowly, and she has no pain. Her head and left side is
tingling, but
the pain is gone. She looks back at Ian, and he still
looks as angry
as he did when Sean first started touching her.
Kallos thinks back to all the times she has really kissed
them,
and she realizes that the other one has never been
around. When
they are both around, they would only kiss her cheek or
forehead,
and she would always grab both of their hands when they
are
together. Looking at Ian now, there is something
different about
him. He is Kallos’ sweetheart; she thought that she would
never
see him mad.
“Is that better, Babe?” Sean asks, and it brings her
attention
back to him.
“It is. What did you do?” she looks into his eyes and
notices
that they aren’t stormy anymore.
“It’s part of being part demon. I just took your pain and
replaced it with my cooling energy. That’s why you felt
the
coolness.” Kallos remembers something that Ian said, that
he could
do more damage.
“How many times have you done this?” Sean looks away from
her and starts to bite his bottom lip. That can’t be a
good sign.
