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.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rjfeNkIXE

Warm, quiet, golden sunlight spilling through silk curtains that don’t belong in my room.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1VM2zOMkX

Everything’s too… perfect. Too expensive. The air smells like lavender and something faintly metallic.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mpAdztQZQ

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.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaLdcpMx9v

I drag my knees up to my chest and bury my face in them. “What the hell did I just do?”12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSuGBVfVHN

No answer. Just birds chirping outside, like the universe doesn’t care that someone got murdered last night.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnnYYhGEKE

I glance around the room again — huge, pale marble floors, carved furniture, and a mirror taller than me.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡql49Akpr5n
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWzjPOetsW
A stranger’s reflection stares back — long black hair, soft white dress, bare feet.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQo4H0sEAxo

My stomach twists. “Okay,” I mutter to myself, “so this is still happening. I didn’t dream the dream. Fantastic.”12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHllNJ0XCou

I press a hand to my forehead, trying to breathe. The air’s too heavy, like the whole room’s watching me.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGy5bePb38s

Somewhere outside, a bell rings. Footsteps echo down the corridor. Servants. Life going on like nothing happened.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQBpfslZuP

I whisper, “Clara’s dead. And I’m still here.”12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEDUlr396w

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.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFukBi2ofR5
