My lungs burn like I’ve been breathing smoke all night. Sweat sticks to my skin, the sheets tangled around me like ropes. For one second, I almost expect to see fire again — those flames crawling up the palace walls, that boy’s cold blue eyes staring through them.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuI1oOaepr

But there’s no fire now.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR93AnJVGrM

Just sunlight.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHPAVoHN6M

180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZs6Lav6r2
Warm, quiet, golden sunlight spilling through silk curtains that don’t belong in my room.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamh6j1X6mg

I sit up fast. My head spins.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD90tUWhXVS

Everything’s too… perfect. Too expensive. The air smells like lavender and something faintly metallic.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3W3WCleEnt

Right. The palace. The festival. Clara.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiBKXx2tXn

The image hits me so hard I almost gag — her body on the floor, the nobles screaming, his hand, the knife. And then… me, blurting out something insane just to save him.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIfGa3Xtas

I drag my knees up to my chest and bury my face in them. “What the hell did I just do?”180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz22hUnv4HQ
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRy5Z9H0Mw
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3kzZvuyS6
No answer. Just birds chirping outside, like the universe doesn’t care that someone got murdered last night.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yusJHRr7D
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGlck4jo2L

I glance around the room again — huge, pale marble floors, carved furniture, and a mirror taller than me.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZJosRVSI7
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaiZjR7o9i
A stranger’s reflection stares back — long black hair, soft white dress, bare feet.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoqLKZdtcT
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpubFC00ZN
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDQ30YzH0f
That’s not Lily. That’s Ariana.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4bJYnoGBY

My stomach twists. “Okay,” I mutter to myself, “so this is still happening. I didn’t dream the dream. Fantastic.”180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorobBsqIkw
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedCUvbp3HX

I press a hand to my forehead, trying to breathe. The air’s too heavy, like the whole room’s watching me.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJB9bzOpjfy

Somewhere outside, a bell rings. Footsteps echo down the corridor. Servants. Life going on like nothing happened.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDuIYUYpnq

I whisper, “Clara’s dead. And I’m still here.”180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNExrJXaqtz
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mUf6B1I8E
The words taste wrong. Bitter.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80Z3m4Csh7

Then a colder thought creeps in — slow, dangerous.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWUgW9xDYz

That boy.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvr9NntmwSj

I can still see his face — that blank calm, the blue in his eyes when he looked at me like he’d seen me before.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGZOilMsTQ

I grip the blanket tighter. “Who even are you?” I mutter, voice shaking. “And why do I feel like… I know you?”180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yTC591PfP

I fall back on the bed, staring at the ceiling.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PV8qV0vi6
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDY1uhr1x2v
My throat feels dry, my brain a mess of too many questions and zero logic.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡby94nA9Oyt
