137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd82e3FAC1a
Fire.137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYpfIJpbOE
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVQo2MVdYZ
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HJXK8leJo
It’s everywhere. Roaring, crawling, tearing through the palace like it wants to erase it from existence.137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mnuM6N0SU
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxifOJ0QNp
The air is so thick with smoke I can barely breathe — and somehow, I’m here.137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLG5co5H7g
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyrVllzj16
Not in my room. Not anywhere familiar. Just… here.137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pIKoOgby5
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFloEWcEKd
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gPIZRad7y
“What— what the hell— why am I—?!” I choke on the words, waving smoke from my face like that’s gonna help.137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98jNU5S5DL
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kBFSmqzk2
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtC4ml7e3Bf
The floor trembles beneath me. The ceiling cracks. Somewhere, someone screams.137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4i0DL9DzN
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrd0wYCFiT1
And then I see her.137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM76rocr5Gh
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4aWkWRMyj
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdcI7mYfm8
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.137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuyJIKpORg
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxQZg3UGxV
My stomach twists. “Who… who is she?”137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡez9oIFi6EM
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuOrfwmU76
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJk7Nai5hs
I drop to my knees beside her. The moment my fingers touch her cheek, I flinch.137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQeCq6n3pV
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqmFAcYg6w
Cold. Not human cold — wrong cold. Like the warmth’s been ripped out of her.137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncguIE2qEB
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWdaBureIv
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0yzLLQag9
“Wake up,” I whisper. “Please— just wake up.”137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIYhCOYYR2
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXW4hmt6LC
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPliNc8EX3
No answer. Just the fire, and the world dying around us.137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIoaXGNqzR
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ARJn7SO7m
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5e3sL7MKc
Then — footsteps.137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHZlX4hTJr
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBEoCZXpU7
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGJsZPdRtX
Slow, echoing, steady.137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mQrgBeCxa
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkvHtSH9jg
Every instinct in me freezes.137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYVzwlUwyG
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6ijklmWO5
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wshZBJ6xG
I turn.137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVZwbysia7
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4DH7tQFM5
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPpxCPxKD9
There’s a boy walking through the smoke.137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOuuFyj8q8
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvQ4nvJI76
Golden hair catching the firelight, blue eyes like winter — too calm for all this chaos.137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZKeahIV2H
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxoRJqYC3B
He looks straight at me.137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwBnzRohRp
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZyRaecEnE
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaYmzNUhQt
My chest tightens. I don’t know why, but I feel it — him.137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3yJmRoza9
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3pWQFAGNQ
The same boy. The one who killed Clara.137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJemtlsnpAl
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurCEpLjRXI
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPe77rsQVt
“You—!” My voice cracks, too high, too fast. “You killed Clara! You— you stabbed her! Don’t you dare act innocent!”137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BNHINJ0CE
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXsADijf2J
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuPDzq7jkG
He blinks, frowning. “Killed… Clara?”137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmRm95I7DN
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgGPnXtMOr
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lKHLpjswk
“Don’t act like you don’t know! You killed her!”137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQh7qKk7GlO
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqBqmSgnNd
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRha7V8NXs
He takes a step closer, slow, deliberate. His voice drops low.137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPwQm8qogD
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcKVElVrrq
“You mean the princess?”137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7fOcyhrJf
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡza07TZsthu
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkP5vgQj2K6
“Who else?!” I snap. “You looked her in the eye and—”137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdrJ8lKg9o
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIydeMThZX
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjbN1U4ymS
He interrupts, calm as ever. “You didn’t let me.”137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRomfK5CKa
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohaKjCpmAx
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66EDOTzRga
I freeze.137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2BaFAkuNE
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsTOlEXsJ4
“What?”137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡck2oJpe3UK
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNXiyV4M7V
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBEf5wtHFl
“You didn’t let me,” he says again, quiet but sharp enough to cut through the smoke. “Just like before.”137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwlZHEGwDJ
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5c69skDMcR
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisIqUug8yt
“Before?” I stare at him. “What before?! I don’t even know you!”137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDLFVkUNJ4
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0LlPBKAYi
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bTOR0trJN
He tilts his head, studying me — not angry, not scared, just… sad.137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKURo5PldK
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡba8XPueRr5
“Yes, you do.”137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlodbpCoyR5
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueMNoHDUwZ
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9qzc4gcaW
Something in my chest twists hard, like my body’s remembering something my brain won’t.137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGp4eR9hnnE
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KfqN8W58v
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusBy2EqonV
The fire flares higher. The walls groan. And suddenly, he’s closer — too close — the air thick between us.137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEiQjFESt6
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQi50baTHGz
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wAaXwj08v
“Why— why is this happening?” I whisper, my voice shaking. “Why is everything burning?”137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenzErsAuW3
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9WrUt67fT
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTAe259pkq
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.137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGNoW8mdPJ
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZwVlbW92O
The sound fades. The light slows.137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EoAsd1zfS
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9z3oHy7kY
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLD2A4RzoZ
I can’t move. Can’t think.137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDJDqPdoIk
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDQ7DJMyHa
His eyes— they’re so… familiar.137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiygItQtzv
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgtvAT5Crt
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqyBqcfkFu
My vision starts blurring. Heat, light, noise all swirl together until I can barely see him anymore.137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrmULrhmRL
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKg4Jo4ndDN
My thoughts scatter — fear, confusion, anger — and somewhere in the mess, I hear myself mutter,137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3XtnM4s1o
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRy4hoNX5E
“Fine. Whatever this is— you owe me one.”137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpuKR7ZyDU
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpb0qDbN6O
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiW09S4mvq0
He blinks, startled. Maybe even amused. I don’t know. Because the next second—137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOSCxRYRJY
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFXVv1iLd9
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyK7wHZpEX
Everything collapses.137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzY5UIwIS2t
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpRbI8Ae5b
The fire fades.137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWcENGbaS9
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDll9wuFgiI
And I’m gone.1234 copyright protection133ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcM8goOxAf 尼
