Fire.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqMHomhnAf
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfbl5c3FFh
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUqkiJlWW0
It’s everywhere. Roaring, crawling, tearing through the palace like it wants to erase it from existence.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCXU8p1iKy
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVdPaBbWVD
The air is so thick with smoke I can barely breathe — and somehow, I’m here.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqBDwkKUKO
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNNtyKMJoN
Not in my room. Not anywhere familiar. Just… here.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZwD6wTxQh
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qIWaWfJqy
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcpVpSiIAe
“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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQ2SgTUI2B
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4uBLgfnIN
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJP4FOF8Nte
The floor trembles beneath me. The ceiling cracks. Somewhere, someone screams.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IfdXCM5mP
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3A3qKEcMl
And then I see her.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc83OGcRlz7
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqyEhZ1VVr
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAk1kW1L80W
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLNDUed2ii
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNYJQhjaAY
My stomach twists. “Who… who is she?”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznReB90Asr
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELieWjoKcg
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgOje2EMzT
I drop to my knees beside her. The moment my fingers touch her cheek, I flinch.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wgHrJsAlG
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8sbfQNA6u
Cold. Not human cold — wrong cold. Like the warmth’s been ripped out of her.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3H0stb69Y
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpIXwviEW7
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHB8V6j0r3j
“Wake up,” I whisper. “Please— just wake up.”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVA8KPBP8v
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XHkVrsY8k
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ01Ce7BL9k
No answer. Just the fire, and the world dying around us.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0V2hvsq1Qz
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoNHoHOd2Z
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7MDsRrqiH
Then — footsteps.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRe3ZGSZCE4
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFLvhJfLD4
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTXzjLUhHv
Slow, echoing, steady.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPcDxXAgRs
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPbwpG0roA
Every instinct in me freezes.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJxg8D2SXJ
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RqwocCyXq
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUF4aZuBHfd
I turn.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYS0CNiGBZd
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2LgLhsF0J
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvp85th6dQ
There’s a boy walking through the smoke.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAA3NIseco
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2WXVsBhHP
Golden hair catching the firelight, blue eyes like winter — too calm for all this chaos.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFG4uLdJf4k
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1Q7mE8bKt
He looks straight at me.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9UqSHmZcV
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nNQaWWZt4
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GMEFYJ8ae
My chest tightens. I don’t know why, but I feel it — him.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvaPgeL4Im
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwz4qxfmGOY
The same boy. The one who killed Clara.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjG4igAobWe
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUk5GPWXJO
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNdaxfs5LL
“You—!” My voice cracks, too high, too fast. “You killed Clara! You— you stabbed her! Don’t you dare act innocent!”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tTQ8Dtwqj
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKU8LzGkTI
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJco9w1DolF
He blinks, frowning. “Killed… Clara?”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5NvSNQLBB
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQX3NPTUsTa
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18o2YRIDXb
“Don’t act like you don’t know! You killed her!”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSAeLLxjcL
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcNoFuETm2
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6DMHxCILV
He takes a step closer, slow, deliberate. His voice drops low.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfqtIhfy4i
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9G5ix5DzB
“You mean the princess?”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8gELEwPM6
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1DDZEeLzr
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgJe9yLfZr
“Who else?!” I snap. “You looked her in the eye and—”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzh3eUiVLO
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgO2F6id99
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN97BjgzURT
He interrupts, calm as ever. “You didn’t let me.”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZ5U6DoVXs
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzRZLFJj9N
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9cbVdvo7L
I freeze.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXdJx2YUNk
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5Z4oS3ghk
“What?”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZZnpMM9GU
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrfwBOMUZC
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshcVwIw85s
“You didn’t let me,” he says again, quiet but sharp enough to cut through the smoke. “Just like before.”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVWso2KGf6
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwz6NknHYt
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9DJS2T1NM
“Before?” I stare at him. “What before?! I don’t even know you!”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb67fsIAl06
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuK8TIWQ1HI
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISdYoysFcA
He tilts his head, studying me — not angry, not scared, just… sad.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAYD0XKezZ
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vF5bQsYq7
“Yes, you do.”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvOylQvvEv
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNYXy9HSsk
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfAAIWA4IZ
Something in my chest twists hard, like my body’s remembering something my brain won’t.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fThV66nde
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLGRTwqx5I
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQoqCNIifq
The fire flares higher. The walls groan. And suddenly, he’s closer — too close — the air thick between us.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmHw1upG9Z
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0MxHvCEsG
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLl7eH6Tu4
“Why— why is this happening?” I whisper, my voice shaking. “Why is everything burning?”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5czaHZM4V
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvgRgLXAA1
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85GbHLYgAA
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqJ3RAC0tk
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe05mHgwUqG
The sound fades. The light slows.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3fOs3vBQB
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcq0ayCt1Bp
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnHYKz3AAT
I can’t move. Can’t think.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RJeZD7X7W
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29MdSSqjrp
His eyes— they’re so… familiar.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkTBhHsWhY
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUbRrWbNYa
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFqzbJzKde
My vision starts blurring. Heat, light, noise all swirl together until I can barely see him anymore.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpll3pFY8Tx
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpQc2OOA7f
My thoughts scatter — fear, confusion, anger — and somewhere in the mess, I hear myself mutter,151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRtNF7RQ3n
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBDIiPPgr1
“Fine. Whatever this is— you owe me one.”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNmtGYKjMt
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTpEXFbi2o
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQqV0eimur
He blinks, startled. Maybe even amused. I don’t know. Because the next second—151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3zd6qwM3H
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62oPDf0Vzz
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZd3HGyDhm
Everything collapses.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5OlT40bQg
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlBsQxwr95
The fire fades.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69Ua4z06xS
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx19EyfiLwx
And I’m gone.1234 copyright protection147ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfqFavKome 尼
