151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2R87Q7tsf2
Fire.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfvkZMKDbs
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOpgwYDuek
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5F1pI7KbZV
It’s everywhere. Roaring, crawling, tearing through the palace like it wants to erase it from existence.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aT6Ihpreq
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJp4GrRCpCj
The air is so thick with smoke I can barely breathe — and somehow, I’m here.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgG6pQGpZfD
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRor41gqiTq
Not in my room. Not anywhere familiar. Just… here.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TmVE8BNA7
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzDUi2kgJC
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbxeCTceHZ
“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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxPL9xRoa3
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8osyh5EU7
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWNpllv2lY
The floor trembles beneath me. The ceiling cracks. Somewhere, someone screams.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdhBpOYRdP
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6seiOU3Kq
And then I see her.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9DvcatTn2
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgjJZ2rueE
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjKRyUPn5H
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJFSdknLX7
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKSEqyww04
My stomach twists. “Who… who is she?”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dAPIyLD1U
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdX3QvCKZWp
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOObsSkdCQ
I drop to my knees beside her. The moment my fingers touch her cheek, I flinch.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJ0rr1qrcJ
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqeqsCbUCU
Cold. Not human cold — wrong cold. Like the warmth’s been ripped out of her.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecGtPz0c1T
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcp91iX8E3
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyxWm3sMK3
“Wake up,” I whisper. “Please— just wake up.”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPJvfuMMCa
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1j3oOKxXJo
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bipAXeEQ5
No answer. Just the fire, and the world dying around us.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYHufeirKa
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuXKq05SCk
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVcA5It4XP
Then — footsteps.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4VhX4PFY8
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cMD7L8xkB
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJAhD49zwD
Slow, echoing, steady.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKRxCww4Ya
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1x9WaohCr
Every instinct in me freezes.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDxMLiPPvw
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6s3iqiQdOD
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq33fAPyylW
I turn.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzVOhbZxUb
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQbe0laYRG
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbr6gb1gHM
There’s a boy walking through the smoke.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTokL9IL01L
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNKnrCygQA
Golden hair catching the firelight, blue eyes like winter — too calm for all this chaos.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyl9RSfBk3
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUx6FIBmyUM
He looks straight at me.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHJRvcDJMK
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcKALC5kWv
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7X8D6BrK1D
My chest tightens. I don’t know why, but I feel it — him.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQTxbPYcYZ
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdYMBN2R8l
The same boy. The one who killed Clara.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrE8MUhI4i
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5zPnR2pCB
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTUjteUCug
“You—!” My voice cracks, too high, too fast. “You killed Clara! You— you stabbed her! Don’t you dare act innocent!”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSfuSaDQ3h
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GPNu0WDgH
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOGzshMOgE
He blinks, frowning. “Killed… Clara?”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqSSR5GGmC
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvEfipPZG8
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XJn0lKUfp
“Don’t act like you don’t know! You killed her!”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzSa2qfjmf
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ADu9D30Go
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2XBplWT5i
He takes a step closer, slow, deliberate. His voice drops low.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSH0cA1mC2
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5TeUNSiX5
“You mean the princess?”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCX57B5ovh5
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8MS3AZEw6
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbUVmqC6Wz
“Who else?!” I snap. “You looked her in the eye and—”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ss3gqXiZz
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMxnD5Off0
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLF0PZUAYua
He interrupts, calm as ever. “You didn’t let me.”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijI8RQhlKl
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnR2gdod6eL
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfTQiEiO1z
I freeze.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF69u71CE5Q
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuNFhj2vyI
“What?”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkydWt6NZ9
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHUSz5Rp48
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7IIrY00EM
“You didn’t let me,” he says again, quiet but sharp enough to cut through the smoke. “Just like before.”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTyGyWamU4
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJO49RRctcg
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8fEjKhHIe
“Before?” I stare at him. “What before?! I don’t even know you!”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkiKryYQ3e
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmUpYcxQn0
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZyMkMl6ne
He tilts his head, studying me — not angry, not scared, just… sad.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObzxvvodjq
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnMs1bSKPu
“Yes, you do.”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsomfu7Ilwv
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4c9Q59Ulfe
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJB47Z88bdS
Something in my chest twists hard, like my body’s remembering something my brain won’t.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHar4dJNbd
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZBWhhvipV
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VhAecXQnh
The fire flares higher. The walls groan. And suddenly, he’s closer — too close — the air thick between us.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jYFdVhXhF
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtBDVvTajV
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRPkD1AXSf
“Why— why is this happening?” I whisper, my voice shaking. “Why is everything burning?”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBbbjLxC8V
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUdPhy6PKz
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeHKA0nqqq
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjvdQpVWmY
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQtpr2rQS8
The sound fades. The light slows.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2qM8hmMdm
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZS5FaoCqBh
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHExRWoK4Y
I can’t move. Can’t think.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLe0GGBWIr
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EeeeezfiK
His eyes— they’re so… familiar.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2cmka2qRi
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVvVjITRQB
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7Y5Qg6PEg
My vision starts blurring. Heat, light, noise all swirl together until I can barely see him anymore.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYl4gFQeK9j
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fAN4uvfaM
My thoughts scatter — fear, confusion, anger — and somewhere in the mess, I hear myself mutter,151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMrGSoqtAN
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqfT9NNSFy
“Fine. Whatever this is— you owe me one.”151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGodF2aoZA
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlJHDFG7m1
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hP6I1nz3T
He blinks, startled. Maybe even amused. I don’t know. Because the next second—151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRXMEG9vM0
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyhCFPiiNH
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnGdDtvPJP
Everything collapses.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVMeNgB4Zc
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GArlSFEEd
The fire fades.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjfjvg3Ekk
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4mFgMCJGN
And I’m gone.1234 copyright protection147ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwVv1nPDRr 尼
