Fire.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmaTJJR42W
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqo8xb25QFv
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXRx3QNDTX
It’s everywhere. Roaring, crawling, tearing through the palace like it wants to erase it from existence.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdIpczvDNJ
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwRxzQ7FVW
The air is so thick with smoke I can barely breathe — and somehow, I’m here.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78IeTYBJvG
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dg0fpwjpt
Not in my room. Not anywhere familiar. Just… here.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡso8yWct6af
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXAKdG9YOE
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bCtlIHvbP
“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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2t39fMpb3
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8l9CtXceH
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbdSDtkYqv
The floor trembles beneath me. The ceiling cracks. Somewhere, someone screams.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaNVJZMLgy
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmBrz24MEA
And then I see her.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHTDRhNte7
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xWxZIL60D
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09RthCeKze
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zdvXNrFah
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoL4Uo4R3rP
My stomach twists. “Who… who is she?”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyMjyjcfmZ
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowMLdjha99
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ643Rx8992p
I drop to my knees beside her. The moment my fingers touch her cheek, I flinch.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpV7icjaB4O
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9czno66Si
Cold. Not human cold — wrong cold. Like the warmth’s been ripped out of her.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcATLsWCWkQ
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsirwgqr8K
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4GXOg9muI
“Wake up,” I whisper. “Please— just wake up.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJqQUl0api
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtY6sd4lBAj
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡek3Q8sOiKW
No answer. Just the fire, and the world dying around us.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYq3HWBM7g3
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fDuVmXnfU
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1C7MDCI4i7
Then — footsteps.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfL3ZyHZSs
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmwphd8Wly
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tGTIfSlx8
Slow, echoing, steady.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4llYHpr0O
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejpOGILuMU
Every instinct in me freezes.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1PBCVVj6S
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCV0cU3SYVZ
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2mhLZOe81
I turn.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybWeKbzGcf
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jSmLVHFCg
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNVd5Xieg0
There’s a boy walking through the smoke.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacgDIVc3Wu
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9r9c1VaiX
Golden hair catching the firelight, blue eyes like winter — too calm for all this chaos.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwrYehMdVR
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG45qAmsCGV
He looks straight at me.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0l2tV094Cr
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMnblgkgSD
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbE6DsFv5H
My chest tightens. I don’t know why, but I feel it — him.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQ1q36Rk73
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPxgky7Kge
The same boy. The one who killed Clara.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn04ONn1YA5
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8F8JKx4z8v
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJKbTRI5hQ
“You—!” My voice cracks, too high, too fast. “You killed Clara! You— you stabbed her! Don’t you dare act innocent!”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uLjubfdXT
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4LmwfXdJs
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRQctM67vC
He blinks, frowning. “Killed… Clara?”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyWa2ckTcH
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXY7b4Zcohr
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iXAo46vAv
“Don’t act like you don’t know! You killed her!”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVN0Y7xtUJ
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylyW0FbQkU
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqYHBVjNNE
He takes a step closer, slow, deliberate. His voice drops low.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OCOkjMPdU
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xOoSbzmGU
“You mean the princess?”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHir1mufPN
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOyrC38w5Y
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6ZtDm7rLK
“Who else?!” I snap. “You looked her in the eye and—”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDevJtR3pcD
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtytjRLvU02
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Nt0wvDRzD
He interrupts, calm as ever. “You didn’t let me.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJi1lBZDgw
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgREUb8Ndxv
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4l114vDt7
I freeze.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdLBP1T8yd
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAV994QQ16h
“What?”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pRNX2SbRF
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TQJIGJRLK
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuN5fGbq5lP
“You didn’t let me,” he says again, quiet but sharp enough to cut through the smoke. “Just like before.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEN0ZpGpqw7
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kJzHyk0Iv
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJiwlooxEr
“Before?” I stare at him. “What before?! I don’t even know you!”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5lxda7sQb
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2rk7lqooP
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52VuW3AQYB
He tilts his head, studying me — not angry, not scared, just… sad.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAc7zzcI5qn
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4x9kbZrMz
“Yes, you do.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHP4XLCJCCo
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnVkMyF5Wm
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpHQSh0V38
Something in my chest twists hard, like my body’s remembering something my brain won’t.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vrkaSHufM
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj93G9lCt2P
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWagWOk587t
The fire flares higher. The walls groan. And suddenly, he’s closer — too close — the air thick between us.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEhAkwFPBg
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHd1rv6fWlS
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aquTuqZat
“Why— why is this happening?” I whisper, my voice shaking. “Why is everything burning?”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PfHKnZ5SL
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaIaH2eH21
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoWV8kThA3
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkA7ZyqOZqr
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rrxnz0r7f
The sound fades. The light slows.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOMDWGFc9B
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwgThqVH8x
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPyu1Z4jA1
I can’t move. Can’t think.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDoUmZdX65
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVMc6bC3tT
His eyes— they’re so… familiar.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NFhp2R9Vz
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiweH7F0Gvc
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTLAxs1gqE
My vision starts blurring. Heat, light, noise all swirl together until I can barely see him anymore.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYguDBzTDg0
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIl8WusLon
My thoughts scatter — fear, confusion, anger — and somewhere in the mess, I hear myself mutter,153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTYWpEhbpQ
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoDI8k9Plw
“Fine. Whatever this is— you owe me one.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNYwHNgyTB
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkalcNqKba
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gp3qLY90F
He blinks, startled. Maybe even amused. I don’t know. Because the next second—153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1by8i7zBh
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAlLvN7krl
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvX4fijHSX
Everything collapses.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3zbUKwLXV
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ051aTUkRDx
The fire fades.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviO865tznz
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8glqj4Wk5g
And I’m gone.1234 copyright protection149ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvxiSRLpRE 尼
