Fire.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHG32buDe7
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrkAmUhzcl
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFbWbqFjcn
It’s everywhere. Roaring, crawling, tearing through the palace like it wants to erase it from existence.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQn7fCq9sec
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuk2XcPPnWh
The air is so thick with smoke I can barely breathe — and somehow, I’m here.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFQg1AqaVV
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0j5VTDcEga
Not in my room. Not anywhere familiar. Just… here.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNMdP543S4
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENkNv0Q9h3
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWOkzsAsYF
“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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYEpm3WdVP
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsjA8GwEiR
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiZ2czih1F
The floor trembles beneath me. The ceiling cracks. Somewhere, someone screams.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FE6M0wCOr
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjia7uiaKOj
And then I see her.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1M8ohLVLxT
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtWw2sL1et
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28RJCJfetU
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DNfb7VkOW
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFHL3bo9ZO
My stomach twists. “Who… who is she?”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8lgrEjhtB
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXF82RMuNM
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVGghtRuoL
I drop to my knees beside her. The moment my fingers touch her cheek, I flinch.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv30SxK86kr
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjK4s5LRYUB
Cold. Not human cold — wrong cold. Like the warmth’s been ripped out of her.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrs5M3b3H72
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKW0F54xWh
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl86PhD14um
“Wake up,” I whisper. “Please— just wake up.”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5x0Hsa0tVP
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfhQHTdVIU
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKhvGo17KO
No answer. Just the fire, and the world dying around us.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Bt2cIutTs
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03yXppWYgl
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuwokpZcXZ
Then — footsteps.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj31Guv6c6F
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXp4qK7g8OW
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrjEMXKAW1
Slow, echoing, steady.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUn61guUDqj
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMGbtC5D0K
Every instinct in me freezes.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9q5AwmAkn
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZBrp7paKw
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQH4bGQQyTX
I turn.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92tuOeCnLn
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIF6fMlL43
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXh26sot7O
There’s a boy walking through the smoke.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMhJxonY5z
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUeDkbleRe
Golden hair catching the firelight, blue eyes like winter — too calm for all this chaos.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3vgllQpdj
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVYEtAkIhZ
He looks straight at me.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6hRUAxswO
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqDA3XrP0K
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XHgWV68Pt
My chest tightens. I don’t know why, but I feel it — him.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCpPUeP2oI
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1oGChaAgU
The same boy. The one who killed Clara.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DfWBBUaBj
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUi7mnvkqfF
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbotgLEQUGC
“You—!” My voice cracks, too high, too fast. “You killed Clara! You— you stabbed her! Don’t you dare act innocent!”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKf6937MuFz
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXcKNqVoqn
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfjn7BsAuo
He blinks, frowning. “Killed… Clara?”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboaY7xUoAt
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEp16PSbV37
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFF6z3rCfO
“Don’t act like you don’t know! You killed her!”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjDQ4wRuEf
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RYkM3Dzco
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxne110q5s
He takes a step closer, slow, deliberate. His voice drops low.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsFYQpORvL
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHnAFjLo88
“You mean the princess?”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUkh4LJVH9
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAC6sDoYwm
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemodN5x5Rp
“Who else?!” I snap. “You looked her in the eye and—”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGr9hfFiSOH
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8mryfub6m
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaI8g8IgboJ
He interrupts, calm as ever. “You didn’t let me.”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrB9Ll8FlL
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiIzUjUi1S
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONezMQUAzg
I freeze.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7g1xPkUAn
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzQPjXT8rn
“What?”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdhbPXrcS0
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49qQZSIeiH
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVIJuiG9Ry
“You didn’t let me,” he says again, quiet but sharp enough to cut through the smoke. “Just like before.”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWhdZtNde8
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBW8FLu4So3
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiWthTZnDG
“Before?” I stare at him. “What before?! I don’t even know you!”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsTqW2GFOj
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4UYiCTEm5
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pAeHX3JN5
He tilts his head, studying me — not angry, not scared, just… sad.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPajoD5bnsv
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQ6BlPRz7J
“Yes, you do.”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmh6knDCcYt
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qH2sq2Kwb
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb06AF7s4Zz
Something in my chest twists hard, like my body’s remembering something my brain won’t.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECzo3XQ0xf
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHB7bBeyfJ
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVs9LHMUE8K
The fire flares higher. The walls groan. And suddenly, he’s closer — too close — the air thick between us.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfLZ6wKEB2
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eA7s6pguG
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBLFk6ODEA
“Why— why is this happening?” I whisper, my voice shaking. “Why is everything burning?”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYcaXBdyKV
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RShXrBpzT
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYRbSTJ6Ie
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGbLlJcVZL
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aWkWfM62r
The sound fades. The light slows.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEBT5c91Ip
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLtfXnCOaW
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNgU4TINqK
I can’t move. Can’t think.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNThz3xzAy
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEI1SwSK3Xe
His eyes— they’re so… familiar.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZw3cupRxdn
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW05a1SpNSO
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdSolEggfm
My vision starts blurring. Heat, light, noise all swirl together until I can barely see him anymore.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEezWJuNbkd
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDAxTLhRmq
My thoughts scatter — fear, confusion, anger — and somewhere in the mess, I hear myself mutter,151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb03Qf6ONb8
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLQIixYnGZ
“Fine. Whatever this is— you owe me one.”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8su6OKYsWq
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIaenyzztt
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jc6NPe60Z
He blinks, startled. Maybe even amused. I don’t know. Because the next second—151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCxQFz27Ci
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGM21wnXREo
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSB9tRbe6Vc
Everything collapses.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNH71KVBEd
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqxCEaKXbh
The fire fades.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFlOrmrRrY
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2LbUm4CCD
And I’m gone.1234 copyright protection147ＰＥＮＡＮＡXX97a1iE8G 尼
