Fire.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyMYhNYQwJ
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwysgI6P43
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqLH9B92zC
It’s everywhere. Roaring, crawling, tearing through the palace like it wants to erase it from existence.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5EgZn9xM9
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgk5KLhfwL
The air is so thick with smoke I can barely breathe — and somehow, I’m here.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvbVeJYoYt
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqmxYj08Pc
Not in my room. Not anywhere familiar. Just… here.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZpfeiASdr
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16ya94GfG2
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiX5Lil6sGx
“What— what the hell— why am I—?!” I choke on the words, waving smoke from my face like that’s gonna help.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLGQidMlIa
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQSwgZLlrA
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpJ93rauVj
The floor trembles beneath me. The ceiling cracks. Somewhere, someone screams.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dhYtVP1Kr
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShmOg0GG0S
And then I see her.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJU9a1pcemn
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GBEKpvzNK
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAH20n8GP4
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.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uUmbmQHut
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8oQapUxfC
My stomach twists. “Who… who is she?”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAN19chHqcz
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYx7gSrKJi
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf76mrJVjee
I drop to my knees beside her. The moment my fingers touch her cheek, I flinch.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRTYZFyvlD
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvtLGD6G3U
Cold. Not human cold — wrong cold. Like the warmth’s been ripped out of her.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFzmsN5bBd
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoT3SRO8r4
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75Q4qDJnPp
“Wake up,” I whisper. “Please— just wake up.”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwQnzcUAWH
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vXx3iSsWT
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEusvNu1JcA
No answer. Just the fire, and the world dying around us.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5E3vFURZT
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgF8OBzIfLQ
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPjY4079lW
Then — footsteps.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zxJeG8OcF
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeGj8g8pe2
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1e3x3YXPA
Slow, echoing, steady.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKIKQj87p3
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2q6t7eWHg
Every instinct in me freezes.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcAxqxTu6x
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJB9vm7fchh
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxV3hePRtAa
I turn.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBzLp44mP7
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDOLvs9xk1
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVocLsM4qW
There’s a boy walking through the smoke.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjc0ZAjJJbM
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWELD4cs0uz
Golden hair catching the firelight, blue eyes like winter — too calm for all this chaos.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoZBITW8Lx
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeaTzn5H2c
He looks straight at me.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1Ie41RFOJ
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWStpJGkVch
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4SvtcrY53
My chest tightens. I don’t know why, but I feel it — him.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FmRBf0ts5
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluYY1GFpJu
The same boy. The one who killed Clara.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRy8STYiObl
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEV79EemdW
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8yimpMUZ4
“You—!” My voice cracks, too high, too fast. “You killed Clara! You— you stabbed her! Don’t you dare act innocent!”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ewvxTmWZl
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwHnBxEcvg
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgWEaGxORB
He blinks, frowning. “Killed… Clara?”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5SxAbFoot
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSs5gNeAiQu
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6ml6XjC7C
“Don’t act like you don’t know! You killed her!”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhDqwxbMT7
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XcKXZaGMi
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuV7GpbkJiu
He takes a step closer, slow, deliberate. His voice drops low.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsglTIc5Iw0
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9iZCOSHGr
“You mean the princess?”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQc8ciUaskp
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruZe3qmOIA
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRK6jk1cPim
“Who else?!” I snap. “You looked her in the eye and—”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmXTvjLBEJ
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQAfrPNx86
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkPGuDtby4
He interrupts, calm as ever. “You didn’t let me.”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡft6hdmRgGb
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIdyfnOdMI
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznQaZtR8J5
I freeze.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3Q0NIojNC
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPG4hwulK77
“What?”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2riXGxKAR
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2seKn9cec
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbqe13YhUI
“You didn’t let me,” he says again, quiet but sharp enough to cut through the smoke. “Just like before.”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxpA7xe4Xw
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGOwAsJnlO
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImpzNDybIs
“Before?” I stare at him. “What before?! I don’t even know you!”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfdKQq0LvA
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4v6nlOroq
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0suiF0brOa
He tilts his head, studying me — not angry, not scared, just… sad.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbkKgGN2w8
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAQT5LWyqX
“Yes, you do.”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQz03fbjfG
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3I7BL3XcQ
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGVZxKEdCf
Something in my chest twists hard, like my body’s remembering something my brain won’t.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QPP9p5BxZ
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE42hVR9SdS
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nfEyOze6w
The fire flares higher. The walls groan. And suddenly, he’s closer — too close — the air thick between us.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJr5QK4oWJ
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFVijm87xd
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobD3Y4AoJ6
“Why— why is this happening?” I whisper, my voice shaking. “Why is everything burning?”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgsfM3P4ut
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3YSPYUGM4
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiB4JRSYm3U
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.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fD5CDl9cv
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEy2EpMizg0
The sound fades. The light slows.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7a3CGuFpJ
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO729rWgwpI
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa01Dqaq6BK
I can’t move. Can’t think.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOY8s12uVr
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxljk59ZHV
His eyes— they’re so… familiar.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmUFMxiBKE
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOfserLo1C
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDj7hphxWgD
My vision starts blurring. Heat, light, noise all swirl together until I can barely see him anymore.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXyEMklS7u
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaI3eOJIDd0
My thoughts scatter — fear, confusion, anger — and somewhere in the mess, I hear myself mutter,151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpmDhNBwOz
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8q0OwU45d
“Fine. Whatever this is— you owe me one.”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPOwKHlodj
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDDsbYa4Lm
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXg4Oi4nHu
He blinks, startled. Maybe even amused. I don’t know. Because the next second—151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAleuVY4xR
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyGkFgvc4A
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxy4unMNdS
Everything collapses.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdpO9TkuNL
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiCYMNKP4G
The fire fades.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgbXjJ9vSK
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGOT6tPqcT
And I’m gone.1234 copyright protection147ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSmIji54FQ 尼
