153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53iY8lirzu
Fire.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50cGwFSdbv
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROauulpsWR
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQE4H4Bpdl
It’s everywhere. Roaring, crawling, tearing through the palace like it wants to erase it from existence.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7LxpuL7hC
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfb55Uf8zOV
The air is so thick with smoke I can barely breathe — and somehow, I’m here.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbAQ4i2J3D
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuTp8XeiFb
Not in my room. Not anywhere familiar. Just… here.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5q1xHVTKlr
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHf1xAYooNk
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKVNHmyZ0E
“What— what the hell— why am I—?!” I choke on the words, waving smoke from my face like that’s gonna help.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa81XPQ46xN
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eGanXWPCz
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbX50TBMHCL
The floor trembles beneath me. The ceiling cracks. Somewhere, someone screams.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWBBKkOVWa
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuescHiY3v
And then I see her.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOSxvA1ehX
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlKLXMHIvk
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0igCVXSw4
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.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbiSUmfQky
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviKnTYcLDw
My stomach twists. “Who… who is she?”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnMVoihMx6
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7Uk6SkMLZ
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKmEZscF6f
I drop to my knees beside her. The moment my fingers touch her cheek, I flinch.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVrvaKKUBH
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAPpZzjIGo
Cold. Not human cold — wrong cold. Like the warmth’s been ripped out of her.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfGw5sRG9y
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6QyrW3U3g
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAIT3BZPXL
“Wake up,” I whisper. “Please— just wake up.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVndHyRxOh
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjzWLD0YK1
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bzyPXIHch
No answer. Just the fire, and the world dying around us.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWORdi70eu
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTNqApqF5c
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRquBZNRjXb
Then — footsteps.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvQKBeWqbx
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAqkyYKPD1
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9ddnV927F
Slow, echoing, steady.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOiVyhTuey
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrKbGS0aa2
Every instinct in me freezes.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyllr7EzEp
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZ5ZXRhth6
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRfgbDewph
I turn.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTKcOnXEHx
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADU8TNzu2f
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmoxQBqqkn
There’s a boy walking through the smoke.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr32FNYVe2u
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXfrezUv1I
Golden hair catching the firelight, blue eyes like winter — too calm for all this chaos.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3haOg72eSf
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSofeRyJfiP
He looks straight at me.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNmKc7SZgm
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx087Btx6ia
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8XQath0Vc
My chest tightens. I don’t know why, but I feel it — him.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HevJqG8AW
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRdQgNRFMx
The same boy. The one who killed Clara.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmsx4bN3Jq
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkq5t156Yc9
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIhBBeu5kM
“You—!” My voice cracks, too high, too fast. “You killed Clara! You— you stabbed her! Don’t you dare act innocent!”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodJ1TPSrut
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FqYKyjKAu
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqg9x6oTUEG
He blinks, frowning. “Killed… Clara?”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8bLgTxQYg
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7laAx6X5xO
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7iQHCzJ5E
“Don’t act like you don’t know! You killed her!”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fbHyDr0xN
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAplBiTgVQq
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAycYSc339u
He takes a step closer, slow, deliberate. His voice drops low.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOpQc9oK3x
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK44gRcRHVg
“You mean the princess?”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUNU3dtZhC
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0d5hzZ1bz5
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvz5Ne3mT5
“Who else?!” I snap. “You looked her in the eye and—”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzt3fsmWmhQ
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ie5W4YxT2
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sB3JwDCPB
He interrupts, calm as ever. “You didn’t let me.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfENizzESqB
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVpHrL1FVF
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVXxvYSgur
I freeze.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfrI4GTKdc
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhQdk4SZjm
“What?”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCReOwGkWKN
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSAqEcttsY
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwGvwOCBc8
“You didn’t let me,” he says again, quiet but sharp enough to cut through the smoke. “Just like before.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvIqX3EjVM
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLIrPhY49s
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGecGUaUSNC
“Before?” I stare at him. “What before?! I don’t even know you!”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfrhUKXQSM
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsUgdobuex
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnevQRReLwM
He tilts his head, studying me — not angry, not scared, just… sad.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuAvlvFxgL
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Sc9Y9AyGV
“Yes, you do.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFd2PETZEq
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVTdsH9wnP
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPq75o9tVvx
Something in my chest twists hard, like my body’s remembering something my brain won’t.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN95IoOjOKM
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CGQwhLOjD
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ERRhJtfjG
The fire flares higher. The walls groan. And suddenly, he’s closer — too close — the air thick between us.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBx5bxJGj1b
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXrpCITiFz
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95a7sPIKrp
“Why— why is this happening?” I whisper, my voice shaking. “Why is everything burning?”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInIFPFldY3
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5zqad1dmn
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBikCup8Nfc
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.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAlyqrMpCY
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITwNCdvrfH
The sound fades. The light slows.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhBo44ZkMz
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmldAIGACpI
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIKIXO95vY
I can’t move. Can’t think.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksqPjUlutl
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypuK31gP82
His eyes— they’re so… familiar.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4A0UutjjR
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNstEKA2e5W
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlqA2DoLFz
My vision starts blurring. Heat, light, noise all swirl together until I can barely see him anymore.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XwOIc7nrk
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXCvDT2Cek
My thoughts scatter — fear, confusion, anger — and somewhere in the mess, I hear myself mutter,153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8iobDDCl7
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaODUp3I9pJ
“Fine. Whatever this is— you owe me one.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2kmKmv6i9
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBAtidl68y
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3BXdiFftp
He blinks, startled. Maybe even amused. I don’t know. Because the next second—153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RBEMIemo4
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinTnLAqtNz
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLx2RRARBgI
Everything collapses.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsSvMbjqqV
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpN2kirHbC
The fire fades.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCdpAUesSx
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhup3JkhvUy
And I’m gone.1234 copyright protection149ＰＥＮＡＮＡleSxMovbeg 尼
