    much. Returning to the black market was impossible. Seth maneuvered through traffic while Ashriel tried hard to hold onto his seat. They dipped and turned, swerved and weaved until Seth ducked into an old docking station that led to the city’s hydro-lifters. “Cover up. We need to get out of here, like now,” Seth said stuffing weapons into his long coat. Ashriel pulled his gas mask over his mouth and nose after securing the goggles over his eyes again. He really didn’t need the goggles because reapers had a natural nictating membrane that covered their eyes during flight. He only used them to hide his face. It seemed he was somewhat of a celebrity…all because he’d lost his virginity. He shook his head, thinking how absurd the universe was. Natanael changed his hair from deep blue to jet-black. “You should change your look too, Ash.” Ashriel scowled at him. “Nat might have a point there,” Seth sighed. Ashriel shook his head. “I refuse to resemble a circus sideshow freak.” Now it was Natanael’s turn to scowl. “Hey, I resent that remark. Besides, you’re the freak everyone’s hunting for.” “Stop.

Natanael rolled his eyes and grabbed a handful of Ashriel’s braids. He swept the wand over the front, sides and back. “Done,” he said stepping back. “Wait,” Seth said raising his hands. Ashriel yelped in surprise when it felt as if someone had tugged his braids hard. He put his hands up to his head to discover his hair was unbound. Tugging a strand forward he gasped when he saw the color. “You ass,” he shouted in outrage, tossing the honey-blond lock over his shoulder in disgust. “You’ve turned me into Garethiel.” Natanael scowled. “You said any natural Seraphian color.” “We gotta go—now,” Seth exclaimed running to the back hatch. “No more time.” Ashriel felt adrenaline rush through his body, knowing the danger they faced being mauled by the media and not being able to reach or find Anniel.
