151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwSW3WgRf0
Fire.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8njYRM0Ll
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB304UqLrS7
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGpT9bW8Po
It’s everywhere. Roaring, crawling, tearing through the palace like it wants to erase it from existence.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvGDuJG1V8
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cJPx57t4Y
The air is so thick with smoke I can barely breathe — and somehow, I’m here.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9BeasxkSK
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8ndR268AM
Not in my room. Not anywhere familiar. Just… here.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhLgoZQFgA
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFf7RYPCHsE
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEp3ierRXw8
“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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqLSeHaBjz
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDIW2zPRKe
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwxfs4LUdm
The floor trembles beneath me. The ceiling cracks. Somewhere, someone screams.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6b1NZqtXq1
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ882R1eAUce
And then I see her.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzYIF289n4
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJsuatmyvD
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnV3pLDeTOT
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSo6vtPkVcx
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTmEKpIU8E
My stomach twists. “Who… who is she?”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IgY7Psmwl
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKIW4io86W
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQeY8vObEY
I drop to my knees beside her. The moment my fingers touch her cheek, I flinch.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7IlYWCNJU
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyp9BfbesFO
Cold. Not human cold — wrong cold. Like the warmth’s been ripped out of her.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjLl03arqQ
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3eRQQREus
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zxyLJcrmw
“Wake up,” I whisper. “Please— just wake up.”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVQVfMR8hz
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF85LDux40t
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBoZSWkZnj
No answer. Just the fire, and the world dying around us.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC93gQFVyvr
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYHg2onMBi
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3bz0z8k1t
Then — footsteps.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgh4rtpT2a
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQ8XPKBTJy
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFhkufP1PN
Slow, echoing, steady.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4j3tQj1Nu
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJ5P36aq2s
Every instinct in me freezes.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tLMGa3rn2
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbj8iFchfp
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxo8rJmfnSg
I turn.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpAPOjwzhi
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadL4Bl3SGB
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ey4Lyoetr
There’s a boy walking through the smoke.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6LcHZPxNG
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQhfv1xoNl
Golden hair catching the firelight, blue eyes like winter — too calm for all this chaos.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89BRh0wVx8
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8AoP8lFjA
He looks straight at me.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBHjZTDeXY
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzR19CK7Vpg
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3I12ZKk8l1
My chest tightens. I don’t know why, but I feel it — him.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCuYbrTggl
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsCT0aNbY1
The same boy. The one who killed Clara.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JNFd3rxtT
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2pkrGrwvE
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcP3aSQ5qW
“You—!” My voice cracks, too high, too fast. “You killed Clara! You— you stabbed her! Don’t you dare act innocent!”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnMpX1ikFF
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHFBEv1TFA
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXtged0yAK
He blinks, frowning. “Killed… Clara?”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjMjtf8gvx
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1WGiUskQ7
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmR67LO6oFF
“Don’t act like you don’t know! You killed her!”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKLLdTfdjC
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSnQsmfc8i
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjLR6PXZvS
He takes a step closer, slow, deliberate. His voice drops low.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWJS6GES73
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1PhPe1jyG
“You mean the princess?”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEigbnUPkdG
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7jfNFQS1I
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDO2vxtAL29
“Who else?!” I snap. “You looked her in the eye and—”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrv0MQOuZj4
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHfBN1n0rP
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMWWwGK13Z
He interrupts, calm as ever. “You didn’t let me.”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxipz8EAFP
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvOmVh8OUt
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ969Dle7VZ
I freeze.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufHoNL6oUy
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6fLlavjwz
“What?”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZO8KzP5WKM
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsljT8U4jgs
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW41X1zUEMz
“You didn’t let me,” he says again, quiet but sharp enough to cut through the smoke. “Just like before.”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYDAFEcQVC
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAEkp8fO3q
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZbOipOWqZ
“Before?” I stare at him. “What before?! I don’t even know you!”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LzvzTSTvu
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdjpqdstab
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuGI9WSoWI
He tilts his head, studying me — not angry, not scared, just… sad.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMwlBSkL5M
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKBJog8d4R
“Yes, you do.”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk66NxECvUv
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKy1L4tFmgo
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXi4QT3FWvf
Something in my chest twists hard, like my body’s remembering something my brain won’t.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZg5L3PMwjh
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIwwC5idkB
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksbOWTjKl2
The fire flares higher. The walls groan. And suddenly, he’s closer — too close — the air thick between us.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUcAGv6yyJ
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfFXcVOkw3
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfhmZ4WkZy
“Why— why is this happening?” I whisper, my voice shaking. “Why is everything burning?”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZ0hYo2HEI
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWBIxadQmI
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmACLVNSKx
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdd2J5rBw9L
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡks4O9QppUE
The sound fades. The light slows.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjatkLYXLba
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtmgQmQv4l
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlFmEBtJ1f
I can’t move. Can’t think.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJzVX5KxVV
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPuXzoWLSR
His eyes— they’re so… familiar.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8SJ8D8Jll
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HQPwXI0fU
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFojGXmXUEH
My vision starts blurring. Heat, light, noise all swirl together until I can barely see him anymore.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡet3jOY4AuY
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2baUt50VnZ
My thoughts scatter — fear, confusion, anger — and somewhere in the mess, I hear myself mutter,151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpushxukP8
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfy6wQV3JYR
“Fine. Whatever this is— you owe me one.”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhhfU9uBPU
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdc3GERPWwQ
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7wLFGixPO
He blinks, startled. Maybe even amused. I don’t know. Because the next second—151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotgKAt5eoB
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFcNWPyg4U
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iNUGLDItu
Everything collapses.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsy0M3EEtfo
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVJVBB6AeY
The fire fades.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSCYLUVaJ7
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9UvKSTifN
And I’m gone.1234 copyright protection147ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnBpn0Tb49 尼
