Fire.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSYSQm1avP
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Snv2cZ7Qq
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfVn1PNFRE
It’s everywhere. Roaring, crawling, tearing through the palace like it wants to erase it from existence.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoYZ1xQddH
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57eCy2mdYc
The air is so thick with smoke I can barely breathe — and somehow, I’m here.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEdndYv3K3
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeON4hKcXw
Not in my room. Not anywhere familiar. Just… here.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhMERc1hgg
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1Vo16rwnP
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ674dXIU6t6
“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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DVOs004jF
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWs3vOwOgo
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaADLx5dKZD
The floor trembles beneath me. The ceiling cracks. Somewhere, someone screams.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOTDjAUDKQ
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsrj7i3GAp
And then I see her.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJS6BNjpCfb
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7w93pcOfC
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoXScwmrP5
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtao1pvR2SD
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXAVcBmhXS
My stomach twists. “Who… who is she?”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHYJtYInh8
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05u0964xDe
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipsx8Y2uKj
I drop to my knees beside her. The moment my fingers touch her cheek, I flinch.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQuC7jvKYf
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBA1DUl8fSZ
Cold. Not human cold — wrong cold. Like the warmth’s been ripped out of her.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsFJykP9KK
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcrWxvTcih
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtBFmu7HE2
“Wake up,” I whisper. “Please— just wake up.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnPpzRf3lC
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsFEbcLAyr
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbgMdxt7jc
No answer. Just the fire, and the world dying around us.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIRk5uJWkC
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05LHpmSHI8
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1EBWEgmdb
Then — footsteps.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATZPRORoQD
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe03v55HbWH
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHRIQAh4Ps
Slow, echoing, steady.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3To4IsrUV7
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZsJRgLqz9
Every instinct in me freezes.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhyRJIKZaT
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0hf6ZHunN
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1K5FJi96DF
I turn.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqU47nTFSN
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jUnQoZkQu
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOx4nJOyn2
There’s a boy walking through the smoke.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUP2mJMpTG
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXfISZNhNc
Golden hair catching the firelight, blue eyes like winter — too calm for all this chaos.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOQKAJkgF7
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqGcugdAvS
He looks straight at me.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRJ2BawPhU
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAsKuqjXAk
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVOTUPSl4y
My chest tightens. I don’t know why, but I feel it — him.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHzdxK0QNa
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiVLuUa4fe
The same boy. The one who killed Clara.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHc7cX06SO
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ89Nn5Plmc
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulxyIDb1EU
“You—!” My voice cracks, too high, too fast. “You killed Clara! You— you stabbed her! Don’t you dare act innocent!”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HuOQoZlI1
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SVKFD3fRc
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi48NhjTHVk
He blinks, frowning. “Killed… Clara?”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWF2uSZvx4B
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBmYpo6O4V
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sFMfQormc
“Don’t act like you don’t know! You killed her!”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlNYrBFFNr
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7VIbLoZ9B
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFe1BzwGphO
He takes a step closer, slow, deliberate. His voice drops low.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYKJr1LjSn
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Jvsxrn3Vj
“You mean the princess?”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMVq9itjJx
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEB5nfWTlCw
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORBPqE5QAE
“Who else?!” I snap. “You looked her in the eye and—”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ268jS87Rp9
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmmc2ni7zT
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsUtPYvBRT
He interrupts, calm as ever. “You didn’t let me.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYGXObOWfW
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SY3svOqpp
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQvH0N2fZX
I freeze.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6EvRb8Z2n
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bmDR9YTDt
“What?”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5QiQgbONt
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiG2HvkgwiE
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQdJmodp0N
“You didn’t let me,” he says again, quiet but sharp enough to cut through the smoke. “Just like before.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjQcqcmjkU
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTKkg0RAJi
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5gwvPLi76
“Before?” I stare at him. “What before?! I don’t even know you!”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNB7aT21da
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ixZIROqFb
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcO4jvLpK4F
He tilts his head, studying me — not angry, not scared, just… sad.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SikFaxozr
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcY9gOCOPAy
“Yes, you do.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsg1YlfftV2
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupPDuiJ77b
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKC4DMDEbzh
Something in my chest twists hard, like my body’s remembering something my brain won’t.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TY2gkseeh
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7zf12XmeG
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdMf0IFNYb
The fire flares higher. The walls groan. And suddenly, he’s closer — too close — the air thick between us.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnyjwy81hi
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8n1wGYZ8o
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXQoLXDvKv
“Why— why is this happening?” I whisper, my voice shaking. “Why is everything burning?”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSEpf6BpZi
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3g0sidORrS
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoz5f2lxwbx
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksXB27iFo6
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSsfHKtC5x
The sound fades. The light slows.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKI82KgW36
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTnx0BVzNd
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0JJ42et5e
I can’t move. Can’t think.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE52NsqoClI
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlyjmMiTCk
His eyes— they’re so… familiar.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHWD90BeDl
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8kraC5DOw
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8Fug6aKvn
My vision starts blurring. Heat, light, noise all swirl together until I can barely see him anymore.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGNQpXF8CH
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWn58sT88b9
My thoughts scatter — fear, confusion, anger — and somewhere in the mess, I hear myself mutter,153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmz0eUpQD8y
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3ebssGkfR
“Fine. Whatever this is— you owe me one.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrPvtV50ZK
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6qFWjr2pR
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvzIOVKgYq
He blinks, startled. Maybe even amused. I don’t know. Because the next second—153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwlkiO4GsV
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0VQz2M2YM
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMj1LQOZzNj
Everything collapses.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPbonq7GFQ
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuitPdJEX4Z
The fire fades.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBDV2mMXbG
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2tREUk0JI
And I’m gone.1234 copyright protection149ＰＥＮＡＮＡZM7p4MJfhv 尼
