188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1SGfZS4xy
Fire.188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwyXtkeN5h
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGpQU5Ll7w
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmtbmD4cfs
It’s everywhere. Roaring, crawling, tearing through the palace like it wants to erase it from existence.188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDWsV7qLMq
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23OjIMhQJd
The air is so thick with smoke I can barely breathe — and somehow, I’m here.188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUWPdmF18K
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzM42cXbQcd
Not in my room. Not anywhere familiar. Just… here.188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdocOzvszMt
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9xsBD93dU
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqzqAbQICt
“What— what the hell— why am I—?!” I choke on the words, waving smoke from my face like that’s gonna help.188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVC9Q0GwSPi
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAYWGVNzaJ
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHL3fmRwJE
The floor trembles beneath me. The ceiling cracks. Somewhere, someone screams.188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFsCVU9oIp
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRxxQb76SJ
And then I see her.188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1c8OEZDhT
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSTMaRnXd6
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlk1J7pxo3
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.188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBC1stc3Abi
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKdr0fFVfK
My stomach twists. “Who… who is she?”188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6KH8cNOoy
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bzJdAyvyb
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXpE7ZNFLy
I drop to my knees beside her. The moment my fingers touch her cheek, I flinch.188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iSxHby93M
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0I4tkaqphk
Cold. Not human cold — wrong cold. Like the warmth’s been ripped out of her.188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YI0DjLZ71
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArlTebozOs
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IQCNdrkgQ
“Wake up,” I whisper. “Please— just wake up.”188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIwlDroySy
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLgUdT6hYK
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjiwT4r11K
No answer. Just the fire, and the world dying around us.188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8V5cEN09wl
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjvioz1LjZ
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pJ3JoEVNo
Then — footsteps.188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEl46kyJp4
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJxSKzk7Yn
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8SmmIog3J
Slow, echoing, steady.188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByUTULTqFA
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEnSKFdizc
Every instinct in me freezes.188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxBI1cTVJl
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLOqLA7X8w
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidkmyorT8a
I turn.188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbyyXrwnJn
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLclZIuJjUu
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjOj4xjmE6
There’s a boy walking through the smoke.188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVlCr7Rwfz
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENXfKkeGAf
Golden hair catching the firelight, blue eyes like winter — too calm for all this chaos.188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJqH4tftWw
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lcErcxpQJ
He looks straight at me.188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4RYHdRmKs
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH69Twy4zYC
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSS6SXD3oA
My chest tightens. I don’t know why, but I feel it — him.188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJb8PfLNAGw
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJIl8L1UCo
The same boy. The one who killed Clara.188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90aUjruHgo
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvye15WX8gf
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCm66NWdEr
“You—!” My voice cracks, too high, too fast. “You killed Clara! You— you stabbed her! Don’t you dare act innocent!”188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeefQUSLZff
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0hXsWi3Dg
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIW1wx1FggO
He blinks, frowning. “Killed… Clara?”188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibuSEPzSzE
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGpMxeJEGu
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMca6yYlxd
“Don’t act like you don’t know! You killed her!”188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc01ZW4U0oc
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOF0jPx9j4
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7jjS6W9Mb
He takes a step closer, slow, deliberate. His voice drops low.188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjjXTGmsR3
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6PjKwAjlf
“You mean the princess?”188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdNPk8x1UO
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqbwVhGca4
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXLpXRPaBJ
“Who else?!” I snap. “You looked her in the eye and—”188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15FUt01CWm
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdum9alZkiR
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeeozynp3D
He interrupts, calm as ever. “You didn’t let me.”188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8liSBYtKFj
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqv8PrjKn2f
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndK9M0eO8u
I freeze.188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrpdapPkqZ
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1supHjj6B
“What?”188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCX4c6vwGUe
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpkiSGvfqh
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkoAtTeVKk
“You didn’t let me,” he says again, quiet but sharp enough to cut through the smoke. “Just like before.”188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWuZH7MBnv
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqLHDhFVRl
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlysZ667XS1
“Before?” I stare at him. “What before?! I don’t even know you!”188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpW5HS6w5l8
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQYrDhAxpV
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGaS44QktG
He tilts his head, studying me — not angry, not scared, just… sad.188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVYc8V2p7e
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjfECZGodX
“Yes, you do.”188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLSH9mqEgD
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8iHVZSL6Z
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTMjEARpV4
Something in my chest twists hard, like my body’s remembering something my brain won’t.188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPDAZtjFxu
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wwyDLqHZM
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1t6die8zzS
The fire flares higher. The walls groan. And suddenly, he’s closer — too close — the air thick between us.188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHCYH3Z9zZ
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kOX9rINtg
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqidmPX7Z5w
“Why— why is this happening?” I whisper, my voice shaking. “Why is everything burning?”188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Z6jXcFopE
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflka6CNKKt
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡav7oBQDuAz
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.188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTASEW6EPZW
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAjTo56dU2
The sound fades. The light slows.188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7WxRJfUpA
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2F95QfNvZx
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcIGeKkKTh
I can’t move. Can’t think.188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpHHUY9nSf
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuj3NcKQJzf
His eyes— they’re so… familiar.188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnbPc9MQQQ
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl41gB9Cgk1
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGmU8gmgQM
My vision starts blurring. Heat, light, noise all swirl together until I can barely see him anymore.188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMycdIyr4m
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrCfde9dfN
My thoughts scatter — fear, confusion, anger — and somewhere in the mess, I hear myself mutter,188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWU7JGk9mJb
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzEmo43E4o
“Fine. Whatever this is— you owe me one.”188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAf56Lgd7X
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jPu1rMGJb
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvNd1cUAGq
He blinks, startled. Maybe even amused. I don’t know. Because the next second—188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3KkhNWwPd
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4HOI1odkD
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaGXMhJqtP
Everything collapses.188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuJQvRQ6dG
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJLH6RTLQA
The fire fades.188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnay35mMPw
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeo7cbGZZgI
And I’m gone.1234 copyright protection184ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWXD8aYOfl 尼
