151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkobjGPEcqA
Fire.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIaOPoz79s
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWUCMwrTbB
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcghAOLi7UN
It’s everywhere. Roaring, crawling, tearing through the palace like it wants to erase it from existence.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWt9a7F5iik
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0F0vd9GXG
The air is so thick with smoke I can barely breathe — and somehow, I’m here.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLJjvNQKIf
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasT28XuovS
Not in my room. Not anywhere familiar. Just… here.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdE4Jqgk81
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLazJOURRF
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEkTBJehhW
“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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDKplJMTGx
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkt5ofobffC
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDGkm5cZww
The floor trembles beneath me. The ceiling cracks. Somewhere, someone screams.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx34zlWHpU0
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkO2PK0Bja
And then I see her.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaNC6YlXX9
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitFqKEp3VI
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzgMZQHoGs
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXR53UZ3Lw3
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXDXjtGMne
My stomach twists. “Who… who is she?”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYBUM2lhYs
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1MTXuQgzD
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOklLTqPGEC
I drop to my knees beside her. The moment my fingers touch her cheek, I flinch.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuufql9Ku8l
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfQVUpHCwz
Cold. Not human cold — wrong cold. Like the warmth’s been ripped out of her.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cd2dc428Y
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDduBjsrrEr
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaix2D7OQLD
“Wake up,” I whisper. “Please— just wake up.”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUfBw6n0LA
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUtqzOXCnl
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZoUAhKkH9
No answer. Just the fire, and the world dying around us.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfW5yBx9IZ6
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAhgggM4hg
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUo0YAWDjC
Then — footsteps.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi47SIGodlW
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCJpTWPOD3
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeNYaDTnmF
Slow, echoing, steady.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtMOy2r4cE
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AFSv4E7Si
Every instinct in me freezes.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdRB0eROWF
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghmz2gwL5P
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiEoK6d66g
I turn.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanPOTf0cfV
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHTlOu9V2Y
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1evdmWulm
There’s a boy walking through the smoke.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEwmi7EfjC
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3hFanQ3Hs
Golden hair catching the firelight, blue eyes like winter — too calm for all this chaos.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1yoxFT3q4
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuycA5VE9C
He looks straight at me.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZIwrCgsz4
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXkqCe07LJ
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyE4eYpXdUo
My chest tightens. I don’t know why, but I feel it — him.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWzg8dhsXs
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ds63c6fLw
The same boy. The one who killed Clara.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4GEtokYDP
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgeJ3Gt4HY
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4HhKKpqd0
“You—!” My voice cracks, too high, too fast. “You killed Clara! You— you stabbed her! Don’t you dare act innocent!”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ42hlORtvB
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDO0cWBkqrv
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpKqHPDFG8
He blinks, frowning. “Killed… Clara?”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyIlVbBD0s
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07UgjJsB0R
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyvWTwbHeo
“Don’t act like you don’t know! You killed her!”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuT8QqEiJ06
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnSgl2HTz3
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iCxAtffpZ
He takes a step closer, slow, deliberate. His voice drops low.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWFNBrbUpT
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqZBvQ7IEp
“You mean the princess?”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7AreC27DE
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kyT3A9YFJ
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MCq3Xe5dq
“Who else?!” I snap. “You looked her in the eye and—”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0axnvneZg1
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IOw0ovdVS
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MZ77UJQsG
He interrupts, calm as ever. “You didn’t let me.”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtc5f1dZ3mJ
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAhsdIQWk3
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKGl19Hppu
I freeze.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsIDkOp70Z
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhs9dCLEnQL
“What?”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4RSHd3DLB
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tgPodt76n
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Wh7EHB4uz
“You didn’t let me,” he says again, quiet but sharp enough to cut through the smoke. “Just like before.”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEyua3BKTN
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOEj7pnsyC
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4jETocriI
“Before?” I stare at him. “What before?! I don’t even know you!”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAN9YPbDaF
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3phuucwMPn
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpo6F4Y26B
He tilts his head, studying me — not angry, not scared, just… sad.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUKlfJJ6Kp
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeN75bYmGH
“Yes, you do.”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjPY2VtktI
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4S70qNXwT1
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Gs5Cc9tSS
Something in my chest twists hard, like my body’s remembering something my brain won’t.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfI8VWL33Me
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ74Kgai8aQ
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0XHP7vBV1
The fire flares higher. The walls groan. And suddenly, he’s closer — too close — the air thick between us.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpmWYUI8DL
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLpNa4SJfV
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodHfTsWeDV
“Why— why is this happening?” I whisper, my voice shaking. “Why is everything burning?”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZE4BAh4OJ
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zKHXsNgWe
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TtgnJiahs
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JRfFkw7ld
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2aZ7WSwxv
The sound fades. The light slows.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVLGSSyKaV
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FY7AzHJ8L
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ddlBodvBu
I can’t move. Can’t think.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrmDw16jLc
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJS1WpK4JW
His eyes— they’re so… familiar.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeoHBYyW2s
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDwzuRmXsp
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFeeyIKfTZ
My vision starts blurring. Heat, light, noise all swirl together until I can barely see him anymore.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnNlrX5rou
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1dABIf2oN
My thoughts scatter — fear, confusion, anger — and somewhere in the mess, I hear myself mutter,151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZlMM2OKM6
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqyCJAzkVl
“Fine. Whatever this is— you owe me one.”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2S73eX3rm
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblCIGZtd4D
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSBmyuXKst
He blinks, startled. Maybe even amused. I don’t know. Because the next second—151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxdb1p5OLF
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOGZDUqDBg
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OgGkhgQbt
Everything collapses.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZWPRO7OaL
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNI56OwIOls
The fire fades.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUG28KY3siA
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQvCpZkPPP
And I’m gone.1234 copyright protection147ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOKrrxVZa7 尼
