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.213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtU6G9bNdz

Warm, quiet, golden sunlight spilling through silk curtains that don’t belong in my room.213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9E4Ctc4ndm

I sit up fast. My head spins.213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoduLFZ1HD4

Everything’s too… perfect. Too expensive. The air smells like lavender and something faintly metallic.213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYvlc41iQb

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.213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkwKRSBvJh

I drag my knees up to my chest and bury my face in them. “What the hell did I just do?”213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZm0G1WpavK
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ195uNKphO

No answer. Just birds chirping outside, like the universe doesn’t care that someone got murdered last night.213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1czXLpuu30

I glance around the room again — huge, pale marble floors, carved furniture, and a mirror taller than me.213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5RSPtAj3B
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnljavm1LN8
A stranger’s reflection stares back — long black hair, soft white dress, bare feet.213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuWCqFDaP9

My stomach twists. “Okay,” I mutter to myself, “so this is still happening. I didn’t dream the dream. Fantastic.”213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliRzCYTwF7

I press a hand to my forehead, trying to breathe. The air’s too heavy, like the whole room’s watching me.213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcg3J5GSRx

Somewhere outside, a bell rings. Footsteps echo down the corridor. Servants. Life going on like nothing happened.213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKNcI7QGpC

I whisper, “Clara’s dead. And I’m still here.”213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDFsEv6KM0

Then a colder thought creeps in — slow, dangerous.213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsynYOdRLS

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.213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ392Ahx3zA2

I grip the blanket tighter. “Who even are you?” I mutter, voice shaking. “And why do I feel like… I know you?”213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4BVahVkJ2

I fall back on the bed, staring at the ceiling.213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprwMqt2HjY

My throat feels dry, my brain a mess of too many questions and zero logic.213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKCeD2b2I7
