I wake up choking.181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCs4UEtSzC

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.181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡya6nQM7vKl

But there’s no fire now.181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAp7bjDgAG

Just sunlight.181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFw3QTHjH9

Warm, quiet, golden sunlight spilling through silk curtains that don’t belong in my room.181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBygZwpEFd6

I sit up fast. My head spins.181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nunuaorg0

Everything’s too… perfect. Too expensive. The air smells like lavender and something faintly metallic.181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtZ2y1IPV4

Right. The palace. The festival. Clara.181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvE5LZ0s4g

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.181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jYWiycimx

I drag my knees up to my chest and bury my face in them. “What the hell did I just do?”181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rRGUD72ym
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXm1BOlyiAh
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9IKNIoF8p
No answer. Just birds chirping outside, like the universe doesn’t care that someone got murdered last night.181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXGoFUf9yi

181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FQXB1VIBK
I glance around the room again — huge, pale marble floors, carved furniture, and a mirror taller than me.181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEDBHGdCd0
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8VJ2VJGoN
A stranger’s reflection stares back — long black hair, soft white dress, bare feet.181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX307XFBYth
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVmoRUop6i
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQxUyJo7OQ
That’s not Lily. That’s Ariana.181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpqh1y3dPQ

My stomach twists. “Okay,” I mutter to myself, “so this is still happening. I didn’t dream the dream. Fantastic.”181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiO3XjWurA

I press a hand to my forehead, trying to breathe. The air’s too heavy, like the whole room’s watching me.181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLph66kgbOx

Somewhere outside, a bell rings. Footsteps echo down the corridor. Servants. Life going on like nothing happened.181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxMkzovtF3

I whisper, “Clara’s dead. And I’m still here.”181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoiiO43C9w
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl19Si66PXG
The words taste wrong. Bitter.181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5coAmxry1S

181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OeJaeK9ku
Then a colder thought creeps in — slow, dangerous.181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOsFQlz7Iy

That boy.181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYV6N7LRBS

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.181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9FBKpjqjv

I grip the blanket tighter. “Who even are you?” I mutter, voice shaking. “And why do I feel like… I know you?”181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzERbW0I3Z

I fall back on the bed, staring at the ceiling.181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrnRnE7c4s
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWNLTI7vkc
My throat feels dry, my brain a mess of too many questions and zero logic.181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9drvhXbyH
