126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4Qau9MYF7
Fire.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRe3308wB5I
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILXvpkRQmA
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFTLaVNRmT
It’s everywhere. Roaring, crawling, tearing through the palace like it wants to erase it from existence.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3SQaZqy9s
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0tirGDrE5
The air is so thick with smoke I can barely breathe — and somehow, I’m here.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLQzwWteuz
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8SRE4xJqH
Not in my room. Not anywhere familiar. Just… here.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmG5BI6p0sR
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRL55Sgy0W
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgetA5OQzbt
“What— what the hell— why am I—?!” I choke on the words, waving smoke from my face like that’s gonna help.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRqmXlt5F4
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELUYCDQe6e
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgP3Q2fUgs
The floor trembles beneath me. The ceiling cracks. Somewhere, someone screams.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbPfTeORKK
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TQKVgENhh
And then I see her.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRqYDpTOQH
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIXgFeTwSv
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJO1cOLpCR
A woman, sprawled on the marble floor — skin pale, eyes shut, too still. Her hand is stretched out like she was reaching for someone who never came.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwJv4l77yK
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCnvy9uGmC
My stomach twists. “Who… who is she?”126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWg1jEfLMQZ
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJehm6Aiqb
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgrtq1jkcN
I drop to my knees beside her. The moment my fingers touch her cheek, I flinch.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofFEZWhpqF
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfZsCXsX8u
Cold. Not human cold — wrong cold. Like the warmth’s been ripped out of her.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7F5yLxD7N
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNiH1O0s2C
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58qAIqR5p2
“Wake up,” I whisper. “Please— just wake up.”126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdgBFC20HM
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRaiKOUBbV
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9njBTnYvC
No answer. Just the fire, and the world dying around us.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRman8sUmZt
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqSOD5xGrm
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRS8QeFJWk
Then — footsteps.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkSwXEbZyc
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQ7TVlZDLj
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdjk5DT6Kn
Slow, echoing, steady.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hjY3d5rEn
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNfHHeKk2S
Every instinct in me freezes.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGDmiHCPiO
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2qKVHxeuL
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgFDl2vzxU
I turn.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6ifSz0g6z
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSy3IWXBON
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93PaRN9Bkj
There’s a boy walking through the smoke.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMPjG2Pnk0
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdR6aA8wB0
Golden hair catching the firelight, blue eyes like winter — too calm for all this chaos.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIYsHQuZUT
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSV6S4OO6C
He looks straight at me.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAal3fM8AL
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tMtYpn1j8
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xMOq5ZY4C
My chest tightens. I don’t know why, but I feel it — him.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HwcK7O4CD
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgYpx6bGq2
The same boy. The one who killed Clara.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAZQ43brB7
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEEU8j7QjX
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2D4K4XWOx
“You—!” My voice cracks, too high, too fast. “You killed Clara! You— you stabbed her! Don’t you dare act innocent!”126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70WSeO98X4
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfd4Lztpjc
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZxSKwlyut
He blinks, frowning. “Killed… Clara?”126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQqv3GkYHG
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KUqJsbIg2
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9ggHNZTXy
“Don’t act like you don’t know! You killed her!”126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsfFwWAh3p
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEZxAx3IXY
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABywiWbyKJ
He takes a step closer, slow, deliberate. His voice drops low.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOzxMrotVs
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiAyDsh6cg
“You mean the princess?”126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fQoIAp5Iq
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcDYGnPKwb
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtGt4aqKuP
“Who else?!” I snap. “You looked her in the eye and—”126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpK5nGEvila
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDISwPz3x4f
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXAiqLjxhZ
He interrupts, calm as ever. “You didn’t let me.”126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qqiA0Hk7X
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡie2CQV56gO
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaC1HkeyjO
I freeze.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBvZ73eE5a
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBuUm3ujdj
“What?”126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0o0eqQkBAm
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2taUvriceJ
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJ3asjxkLE
“You didn’t let me,” he says again, quiet but sharp enough to cut through the smoke. “Just like before.”126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtZQHpIwj8
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VRxqBfkvc
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31PLLT3vXL
“Before?” I stare at him. “What before?! I don’t even know you!”126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQX9KMt4vxP
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjr7ZFy1aLs
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluXSdtogiV
He tilts his head, studying me — not angry, not scared, just… sad.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXi5enP5vn
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmz7Kzki82o
“Yes, you do.”126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IiwY3Fcmz
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOZgBWLHaA
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaGKQXaHKf
Something in my chest twists hard, like my body’s remembering something my brain won’t.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlJTwG1j6f
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQkyl5UsHy
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUI0qo89irC
The fire flares higher. The walls groan. And suddenly, he’s closer — too close — the air thick between us.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JQELShxwz
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCCcsOU8yj
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUQXqBG3wA
“Why— why is this happening?” I whisper, my voice shaking. “Why is everything burning?”126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXcSFnoTwf
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WXGiYTSvi
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeWGfixj8N
He doesn’t answer. He just looks at me, those blue eyes cutting right through the smoke — and it’s like the world stops breathing.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDG4pJ8lfu
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvt9V2gUYaa
The sound fades. The light slows.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacT7czHgda
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx501YiZZ4J
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxm4nb4a0V
I can’t move. Can’t think.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AUujrWBTc
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzjgg0ppAf
His eyes— they’re so… familiar.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77DNWr47Lq
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFen0PCFlZ0
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGMJCfE8W9
My vision starts blurring. Heat, light, noise all swirl together until I can barely see him anymore.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhE56j4iS0
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoX0QV2Mng
My thoughts scatter — fear, confusion, anger — and somewhere in the mess, I hear myself mutter,126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVs0vPcF6l
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJSWrQGMgi
“Fine. Whatever this is— you owe me one.”126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BfMOv8RCE
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd56YVzC1G6
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBPyVHgtPR
He blinks, startled. Maybe even amused. I don’t know. Because the next second—126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkCySFUpaU
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZpse4Z9M4
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnAa6XCEb6
Everything collapses.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyO21o8Zh7H
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5rKTiYjMI
The fire fades.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvRYxsLDjP
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw40S73LXbb
And I’m gone.1234 copyright protection122ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPDYS2XhEk 尼
