I felt a grin spreading over my face, filling me with delight. "Man, that is so damn cool."
"Yeah. And… try not to do it without asking first, would you?"
We walked down the block, and as we dodged around two cops taking statements from some neighbors still in pajamas, we saw we had a visitor leaning against the Viper.
Rahel. She'd changed colors to an electric shade of green—pantsuit, hair beads, and nail polish all matched. Her eyes were still fierce hunting-hawk gold, and as she looked at me, I read something like pride in her expression.
"Well," she said. "I see you made your choice, Snow White."
I'd always wondered why she called me that, and now I looked at the reflection of my flesh-form in the window of the Viper, and saw the midnight-black hair, the flawless white skin, the pale silver eyes. Snow White. As I watched, my lips grew fuller and redder.
Rahel laughed. "See? I knew you had it in you."
"You could've told me everything from the beginning. Made it a lot easier."
She shrugged. "I'm a Djinn. In time, you'll understand."
She clicked her lime green talons in complicated, Castanet rhythms and opened the driver's-side door of the Viper for me. As she bowed me in, she said, "Welcome to your life, Ianna. Burn bright, live free, and remember that no human is your ally unless you hold his beating heart in your hand." She winked. "And have fun."
As she shut the door, I looked at David. "Ianna?"
"It suits you," he said. "Ianna's a name of power."
"So's Joanne," I smiled, and touched the ignition with my pale, fiery fingers. "Better believe that."
Mona roared to life, and the road stretched forever.
