151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmjp2uEu9D
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQF2AwNGVm
Fire.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7Z46FvU9V
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQgsdxOrRt
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHOV2DItFG
It’s everywhere. Roaring, crawling, tearing through the palace like it wants to erase it from existence.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmaF4iTy7U
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcfRN9CiVK
The air is so thick with smoke I can barely breathe — and somehow, I’m here.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbnTEC1bH3
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksW4gXUfIu
Not in my room. Not anywhere familiar. Just… here.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVK5TjrsPC
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wt5f1x34k
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9FhPQlSNq
“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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnsqaykyss
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6RhmpiRy4
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UftTLBYMZ
The floor trembles beneath me. The ceiling cracks. Somewhere, someone screams.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsugojWGjd
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡza4kD2z7Xz
And then I see her.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeQeZ6A6SR
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbCn8SvnW0
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1h8C1aDEb5
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5Ooer3sv2
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFtTBLuVn8
My stomach twists. “Who… who is she?”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUGCIxgcjn
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumiQFvv5mk
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBU1bOZJyJS
I drop to my knees beside her. The moment my fingers touch her cheek, I flinch.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCXUm2hqqj
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAHuAuZ8ah
Cold. Not human cold — wrong cold. Like the warmth’s been ripped out of her.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5HQKPC7Z5
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3DZnObDPa
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwuleV7Ntb
“Wake up,” I whisper. “Please— just wake up.”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXx8Pbib2g
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhESR7KJpR
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1PRrkOtgh
No answer. Just the fire, and the world dying around us.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjKPeLDKCv
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RKHbapXz4
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKvJszIAf5
Then — footsteps.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqlD9kQKva
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZBMsUndLr
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzHkKhrl4x
Slow, echoing, steady.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2bT9GWysd
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1ZdPuXToH
Every instinct in me freezes.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2qcZ6180s
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7cwU6TbLq
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpRZYYfQlQ
I turn.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uguP67n82
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXF5IOxOjN7
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xOPE0uXL8
There’s a boy walking through the smoke.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklCTFOHbPp
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrZDmaunSO
Golden hair catching the firelight, blue eyes like winter — too calm for all this chaos.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNR3SrOsbY
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAqSnpyQkP
He looks straight at me.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvVdnKjUL6
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXthDKoqpi
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvGcH2564Q
My chest tightens. I don’t know why, but I feel it — him.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkNSVmEb6O
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5XNgoH4jP
The same boy. The one who killed Clara.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOt2APRlBOq
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqGpBdJibE
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdtBuaHDVl
“You—!” My voice cracks, too high, too fast. “You killed Clara! You— you stabbed her! Don’t you dare act innocent!”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCOktS16JB
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHB2FDYrEL
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XtZSy4hGT
He blinks, frowning. “Killed… Clara?”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMcuVikMt8
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ThX6Hqjr1
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9OvHzoMCI
“Don’t act like you don’t know! You killed her!”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GxvBGscSt
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviRnYBxrCK
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRHr3ycaGd
He takes a step closer, slow, deliberate. His voice drops low.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyilQtgQjt4
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxR805Dx9Eu
“You mean the princess?”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbH7x9bItwI
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzz9bHbaIb
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sXH3YQSlg
“Who else?!” I snap. “You looked her in the eye and—”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPVO6yhBDi
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxSsC47HFL
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHYh0lgXll
He interrupts, calm as ever. “You didn’t let me.”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeTswHuMvn
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UyjfOO4vP
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymZSuhcxxr
I freeze.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHrJYNZT5V
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjsZUrdaU7
“What?”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWl5nIuvEvg
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1gnrvZ2Vq
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPREyEfcfsX
“You didn’t let me,” he says again, quiet but sharp enough to cut through the smoke. “Just like before.”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rxHiniJ8j
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nwrim6QSi
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQj9hYs0Wn5
“Before?” I stare at him. “What before?! I don’t even know you!”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KlGw8R2nu
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Wwxq8kgDs
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FaHp7eel5
He tilts his head, studying me — not angry, not scared, just… sad.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2SJU52HpR
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhMO2rnseU
“Yes, you do.”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhd1gQ0BBuO
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozk5yId6Oy
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxCmSjqJu2
Something in my chest twists hard, like my body’s remembering something my brain won’t.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jgjcEDWuw
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDb11o7aIEV
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwaplnMkmC
The fire flares higher. The walls groan. And suddenly, he’s closer — too close — the air thick between us.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1ynPLdTXP
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE460pcIjtK
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dsmiiDprb
“Why— why is this happening?” I whisper, my voice shaking. “Why is everything burning?”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfqJ5QueEu
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnx5umK9a8Z
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdCb6AVlYE
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUNOKMJZjD
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAwub84Cx3
The sound fades. The light slows.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFkPwKy7oH
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYBBzpJZsL
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMinmbGnFhK
I can’t move. Can’t think.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikd2sUUDFd
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IjWZQZ4bg
His eyes— they’re so… familiar.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnaBwwIc8f
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGp1Noy6KuY
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyr38gtPVaT
My vision starts blurring. Heat, light, noise all swirl together until I can barely see him anymore.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQruhx7nRR5
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkvy5RZJFT
My thoughts scatter — fear, confusion, anger — and somewhere in the mess, I hear myself mutter,151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmYNObPjgZ
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyykNzm2wgv
“Fine. Whatever this is— you owe me one.”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJ8EADOZLg
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kpdKzgOwv
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhW4a5xlah
He blinks, startled. Maybe even amused. I don’t know. Because the next second—151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFNswinAY5
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWxXRUCOPt
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkHHjS9K14
Everything collapses.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMaaBoWTri
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrhoRlMqbJ
The fire fades.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWUweIrYwT
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbADy5ALejh
And I’m gone.1234 copyright protection147ＰＥＮＡＮＡFz29f7KMcH 尼
