151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09dMRTA6q4
Fire.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFeL2giReS
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05XMyxGj3R
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVIGHlr3XK
It’s everywhere. Roaring, crawling, tearing through the palace like it wants to erase it from existence.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWCvypCa2Q
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mXSY08dHo
The air is so thick with smoke I can barely breathe — and somehow, I’m here.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjTqgmrNh9
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsspVCBzKc
Not in my room. Not anywhere familiar. Just… here.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBCG6tt2Ut
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFGmEf8yw1
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFqGcOpoRO
“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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDAmksEDo9
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9xcjZWotU
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirhjIdnYGR
The floor trembles beneath me. The ceiling cracks. Somewhere, someone screams.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLpLw8BdWn
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryEiujfn4k
And then I see her.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzWIkswpED
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUcycnk0SV
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeUIbeXOjZ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTMuc5RVWO
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UGjJWPstT
My stomach twists. “Who… who is she?”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hSHAKxhDD
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6IzRsMk79
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUh2NEO3dXY
I drop to my knees beside her. The moment my fingers touch her cheek, I flinch.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPb31HcsjoW
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqmndxZW1M
Cold. Not human cold — wrong cold. Like the warmth’s been ripped out of her.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpMxQ07V99
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAJ21ab40j
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kqGCL7gdj
“Wake up,” I whisper. “Please— just wake up.”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSppKVzZ5C
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPczxOLek0h
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGgVKb6NTK
No answer. Just the fire, and the world dying around us.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKivFfkL77x
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodBoVrY2tV
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRfA54TFwU
Then — footsteps.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFtLOZStLK
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5BOiFciYA
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOZfqVNkHU
Slow, echoing, steady.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoMEgEcm7t
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzdmlD2DXJ
Every instinct in me freezes.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryJNso07bN
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpp9F3wNyA
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGo3HKOIxUQ
I turn.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xqT3BX7wb
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCPF3wrK6q
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQ2olyqM40
There’s a boy walking through the smoke.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVa2l7XrQHI
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2GTkSDASE
Golden hair catching the firelight, blue eyes like winter — too calm for all this chaos.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1QFwMLNFN
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPwdH0Llyn
He looks straight at me.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rLjnVZyRC
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPdJm7khpL
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4EkZiK971
My chest tightens. I don’t know why, but I feel it — him.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIavxd00d4N
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfp40ZNTogJ
The same boy. The one who killed Clara.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOV5kEwcvp
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LKCOTYl40
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mDDZ6WOKz
“You—!” My voice cracks, too high, too fast. “You killed Clara! You— you stabbed her! Don’t you dare act innocent!”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaNC80adQZ
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3qgKwmKmi
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74Edti7esh
He blinks, frowning. “Killed… Clara?”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKa7vNy73o
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90FVXMNLra
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0gOEAuaKs
“Don’t act like you don’t know! You killed her!”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MGvlk3x9R
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxe7e1Ku8a
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboK7vv6gH0
He takes a step closer, slow, deliberate. His voice drops low.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbXUwjQ6mO
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzGGAPBzsL
“You mean the princess?”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOaONn1zVy
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuQS88eGI5
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUuFCFqQmv
“Who else?!” I snap. “You looked her in the eye and—”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEs9b3ykTu
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRDoo7u36b
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8qG5CkwZY
He interrupts, calm as ever. “You didn’t let me.”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqKGB71OOz
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNc45INKKy2
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIUIbDslnF
I freeze.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbTs9MuoUP
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgWRQxOplz
“What?”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpt5DiYyPLa
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphXm54bhuO
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLi7hsUHbu0
“You didn’t let me,” he says again, quiet but sharp enough to cut through the smoke. “Just like before.”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEpImqqxPt
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Dwb0Yuwwo
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0MDWx7ZOc
“Before?” I stare at him. “What before?! I don’t even know you!”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bujxwhdRJ
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJZkGSTUbQ
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuc10lEGg1y
He tilts his head, studying me — not angry, not scared, just… sad.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLWn2WVzkl
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWYW5Kvau2
“Yes, you do.”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vCMzn01Yr
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenfKzhOF5i
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPlNJLwzjq
Something in my chest twists hard, like my body’s remembering something my brain won’t.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ba8xSYT6p
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqgFuaouNd
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBu3ayYXVh
The fire flares higher. The walls groan. And suddenly, he’s closer — too close — the air thick between us.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcY4YROH2QR
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgu338ndgzP
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYs4UosLxD
“Why— why is this happening?” I whisper, my voice shaking. “Why is everything burning?”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYYGqhsr2n
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspxzayjjUj
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCXQ0KOeiS
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35izer49iG
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOQHHrtdcZ
The sound fades. The light slows.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYpE3aIXSp
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAC2bdDnxz
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnfDgi7GkM
I can’t move. Can’t think.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtZQXYRQCp
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGrI84oggA
His eyes— they’re so… familiar.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnLcWxwWvL
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnI0Z6rLpW
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooCnqTJ32M
My vision starts blurring. Heat, light, noise all swirl together until I can barely see him anymore.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97Pe2etuOc
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCotmKZyrB
My thoughts scatter — fear, confusion, anger — and somewhere in the mess, I hear myself mutter,151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7tgQlOMfq
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3N5CELd2b
“Fine. Whatever this is— you owe me one.”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydIJjNsgxp
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDEQHTjfoc
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGueGexoLN
He blinks, startled. Maybe even amused. I don’t know. Because the next second—151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53juophwYT
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DJV9irrMl
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GtMxptPRG
Everything collapses.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUrj7SOEsg
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYTkxChCmg
The fire fades.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GsZuNrS42
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KzmLvbNRh
And I’m gone.1234 copyright protection147ＰＥＮＡＮＡvq02SRkL81 尼
