I finally remember.733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDOY0x1lUF
My eyes quickly flew 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUo4BFJyeA
open as a sudden sense of familiarity came over me. I was at the school 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTOO9sNPt0
clinic and as I sat up on the bed, I realised that the ward was empty. 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWRPMGz0rX
The white coloured walls greeted me with warmth as the sun rays 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJ48FkHGsO
reflecting through the windows gave the room a wonderful glow. As I took733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJTeI0Piyz
in the warmth, everything came back to me. I had fainted in the 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5P9MHCCr9
orchard. That wasn’t the only thing that I remembered. There was a whole733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4Mss4c848
lot to it than I had realised.733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsGMARj43P
“I now remember,” I said aloud to the empty ward.733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEPMWcfFW6
Everything came back to 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxduX7qfHH
me in flash like it had in the orchard when I saw the mysterious 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwAT8AUAuN
stranger who was standing behind Amanda. When I had looked at the 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBZJcx4lD6
stranger, I finally remembered what had happened to me when those images733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSPG1kfqaH
came running into my mind. I now remember what had happened to me 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZJdh9XQIE
before I woke up this morning. I hated to say this to myself, but 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgmTSBd6n2
Christine was right. Something was wrong with me and it had started all 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3M8r8ThVzb
the way from the time I had failed to wake up this morning until now. As733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6N0l0xOBtl
I tried to go through what I could recall from the images that had run 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX33m6fphTg
into my head earlier, I felt I was hit in the face with a reality check.733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYdc7pQzea
I had died in my sleep.733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYN4I4OF7B7
“You didn’t even budge at all. It was like you were dead or something.”733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2UNlIyUxY
“I was there when 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30Wtt4vtYd
Christine tried to wake you up. You didn’t even move an inch. You just 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3vvGBTc9A
laid there. And you looked, I don’t know, dead.”733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakHEYm3vUi
I recalled what 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgikQ7LRQZP
Christine and Amanda had told me earlier. They were right and what I 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5YxoQKKyE
could remember proved it all. I had died in my sleep and as far as I 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uEQgIIUvW
could remember, only one person knew why. The stranger who came to the 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1jqaJKFBO
orchard was the same person in my dreams. And surprisingly, the same 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEQxIw0Hwa
stranger was the one who took my life.733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBvRfHT6YP
I closed my eyes and 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfpxPKnFzR
everything became clear as I remembered what had happened to me in my 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEo37W6wlvL
dreams. Everything around me was empty and dark. I couldn’t even tell if733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVttAtlEAs
I was floating in the air in the deep void of nothingness or if I had 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrfOJbmqRQ
my feet planted to the floor. There was no sign of life, light or any 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSl7iPyhU0
object I could feel or grab onto. I was nowhere, in a place where things733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugURCR89VE
never existed.733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmlJxSJo8T
Then, out of nowhere, 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dL8CAOlQU
something had appeared right before my eyes, a few feet away from me. 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHM1PyCBFY
For a moment I couldn’t tell what it was because it was too dark and the733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegaEHbBT1t
same object that had appeared before seemed to be covered in a black 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAcmZoGK4y
cloth that swirled around as if there was the presence of wind when it 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLDAhPaAAo
actually wasn’t there. I adjusted my eyes a little more to see more 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlwEuLNS8k
clearly. The object was kind of tall and before I could have realised it733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuUXu7Bsfk
sooner, the object that stood before me was a human being in a black 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAs6J3WPxG
long cloak. And whoever it was was facing my direction looking at me. I 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VmRfTpzjN
couldn’t see eyes or even a face underneath the hood; it was dark, dark 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBymRc6KTr
as the environment around us. For a moment, it seemed like we were just 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCeClkLtpb
staring at each other until I got a feeling in me that this person in 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGMGZ4rFEJ
front of me was creeping me out. The air around us started to get cold 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfRsqjwisi
and each second that passed became colder and colder. At some point I 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDMV5eB24x
breathed out air and an icy cold mist escaped from my nostrils. It was 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlX1NYMLj9P
definitely getting cold and it felt like I was stuck in a freezer. I 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd91KB9iSFz
started to shiver so violently and when I looked at my hands, they were 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtVTz00PFM
icy blue. My hands soon felt numb from the cold, so did my face and legs733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOC5KQnLuw
too. In a matter of minutes, my body had turned cold and blue. My body 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRI8bMAOfS
had become numb with cold and at that moment, my legs gave way and I 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8a2vdVi3qs
fell to the cold floor which had suddenly turned into a hard cold layer 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46dMjLuFht
of ice. I tried to move, but I was so still. The nerves in my body 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8yf9A7tVS
seemed to have frozen up too but it was a wonder how my brain was still 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqj17rsjac
functioning because I was completely aware of what was going on and I 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UfTnD2t9a
could see the stranger in the dark cloak just staring back at me not 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkZdytW084
doing anything to help.733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIHM3XwCya
I tried moving my icy 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijwXEAKx3g
blue lips, but it was no use. I couldn’t even feel them. My lungs had 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenzKXNoNo0
stung with pain inside me and I was scared that they were going to stop 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiglgBlgaP
functioning right there and then. What kept my hopes up was the beating 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBX1UlC6RH4
of my heart; though I could hear every heart beat grow faint as the 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirUJIwxCR3
coldness in me took over. I continued to stare at the stranger in front 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4IVXN858j
of me, praying that he could do something to help me.733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOC2jFAat0X
As though my thoughts 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCSHdpiBZt
had finally been heard, the stranger took a step closer towards me. For a733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSmS1uFJcf
moment, I finally felt that everything was going to be alright and I 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE323izZpku
was going to be saved. When the stranger had finally come close enough 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhu3iU0QaQ
to help, my eyes flew to the hood trying to see if I could see the 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGuDg9zflg
stranger’s face, but I still couldn’t see a thing. The stranger 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡit2vDuq3o6
continued to look down at me and even though I couldn’t see any facial 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIuQ45Xc7Y
features under the hood, I could feel the stranger’s eyes on me. When I 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpM59JxSsu0
had hoped that the stranger was going to help me, that hope was soon 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC84ScJaFdH
replaced with fear in an instant, even in the frozen state I was in. My 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2Zo3Mq3BI
eyes bulged out in fear and I prayed in my heart for at least my nerves 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3p3P6rFSVR
to kick start again and I would be able to get away from this stranger 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2bttZfGkQ
who I didn’t even know.733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoeMBsGDd0
As I continued to pray 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSFN7wiN5z
to myself, the stranger soon knelt to the floor on one knee and the fear733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdeDhcv3Uv
in me almost ended my fading heart. The stranger quickly stretched out 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrVMafbG1I
his hand and held my cold neck. I could feel the strong hand grip 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhyV9ca9ri
tightly around my neck and he was choking me out with the little air I 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwW3MEuF4rF
could take in my cold state. When the stranger slowly stood, he was 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNop3O4c1Ga
dragging me upwards along with him. We were now staring at each other. I733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9S4GNEfDhZ
could still feel the stranger’s gaze on me because it felt like needles733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOv6f0OYDDx
were pierced into my eyes. I continued to stare back into the dark void733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Q0HUnapsu
under the hood feeling helpless. I wondered what this person was going 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIp93ScMCbo
to do to me.733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpo4dhFfbWO
Soon, a scythe appeared 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HdwFhcqII
out of nowhere and it stood right beside the stranger in mid-air. The 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MPbI89nIo
stranger took the scythe in his hand and in an instant, the scythe had 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdVfoeH21e
transformed into a knife. My heart had started to beat faster than it 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WHsOAJLrw
had when I had been frozen. I had to admit that I was scared and I tried733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1bsMlJDq6
to scream for help, but it was no use. No one was here to help me and 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eg1sCDxYL
this stranger in front of me seemed to have made up his mind about what 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIMaB4MhOD
he was going to do with me. At that moment, I prayed that all of what I 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13zF93WPYm
was going through was just a bad dream.733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0nobKphYp
I continued to stare at 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1B0WxflO7
the stranger in front of me, with a knife in hand. The hand around my 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vdhINJkpz
neck tightened with every defying moment. I thought the stranger would 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6EAUlwQWl
have a final say before he drove that knife into me, but there was 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNWsAlAWrs
nothing but silence between us. With all of my might, and with all the 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LV7S490bP
pain and coldness inside of me, I had forced myself to speak:733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOjyUNVRDp
“Plea…..please……do…..don’t do this,” cold mist escaped my lips as I spoke. “What wrong have I done to deserve this?”733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWTmRiz3lB
A cold deafening voice 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvQQBRSNHt
echoed around me from the stranger who had held me captive, it was a 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISpnM5IyHg
voice that could have sent anyone running for their lives:733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaNh1plCjm
“Your time has come, Diana. This is your destiny and how it all ends!”733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcloiJAdG5
Before I could say 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZkAA2DDvg
anything else, the knife quickly drove through my chest and I had felt 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0mGM5AvlZ
the piercing pain. Even though I was frozen I could feel the warm blood 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVudWENM4fx
flow out of my body and its coppery smell filled the air. I looked down 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJNzsoRH91
on my chest and I saw the red smear of blood staining my shirt. The 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanYLtJzlRu
knife was quickly removed from my chest and the stranger drove it again,733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncqIpFnoEH
this time into my stomach. This time I screamed out in endless pain and733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcC6VEPHjvI
my scream echoed around the deep void. The stranger continued to stab 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1lmSc8OsA
me in so many places and I was left in antagonising pain that I 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqXPSrAoZu
continued to scream until I reached a point where I couldn’t scream any 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKI2pdz71Y
longer. I was numb with pain.733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQdHIqrBsF
My body soon felt limb 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOmD4Vevd5
and the next thing I knew I was on the floor and didn’t even know how I 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKfVPpGHS2
had ended up down there. The stranger continued to look down at me as I 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTXkVNUL5O
was bleeding out to death. I didn’t feel the pain anymore, though I 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYKH4tAtRQ
could feel something was living my body slowly. Was it my soul, I had 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwQL003qZD
wondered. My vision soon became blurry as images started flashing in my 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgX7aA7ZP2Y
mind. Were those my memories of the life I had once lived? At that 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl75gD5n7Tr
moment I couldn’t even think or tell what was real and what wasn’t. My 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYI6NYk4dgX
brain was dying so as the rest of my body. I could really feel myself 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQL5mhtV9hh
fading into who knows where.733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyHWTbeDp4
The stranger soon turned733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaTyIVkuGu
away from me with the knife in his hand which was covered in blood, in 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zvr9tTrSm
my blood. As the stranger walked away, the knife in his hand soon turned733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjs9PdTpXA
back into a scythe and the darkness swallowed the stranger out of 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnHxExDnJQ
sight. 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBP5oe0Fyw
And I was left in the darkness, in a pool of my own blood, as I breathed out my last. 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKghrHbxsp
“Diana!”733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JfpOkniQr
My eyes quickly flew 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tMId9vRZy
open and for a moment, I was oblivious of my surrounding. I felt a hand 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDdfgyhU20
on my shoulder and Christine stood right in front of me with Amanda 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNduzwagSAM
standing right behind her. They both had worried looks on their faces 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt21Hw1nxm3
and I hoped it had nothing to do with me.733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrhE5uluJZ
“Why are you looking at me like that?” I asked.733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGm0a5MOOoO
“We were wondering if you were alright,” Christine answered.733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP927pgSLFT
“I’m fine as you can 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeEKh5y1Bd
see. There is nothing to worry about,” I tried to sound as normal as 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqImBPf1xS
possible after what I had just remembered.733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YxKm6qD0n
“It doesn’t seem that way to us,” Amanda said. The look on her face made me even more worried than they were.733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtw5bUdjGS
“What do you mean?” I raised my eyebrow.733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNMw0zvslS
Amanda and Christine 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNk0i5ieiU
turned to look at each other, looking concerned. They went back to 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2chQGyiH8
looking at me like I had just said something stupid.733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HafA9t9kN
“Is someone going to tell me what’s up or do I have to play the guess game?” I snapped, growing impatient. 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdPyflzsSn
“We came into the ward 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgF5DwYXDE
and saw you seated on the bed with your eyes closed,” said Christine. 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkjEOD7YkW
“When we called out to you, you didn’t respond. When we shook you, you 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdfhZEQvRU
didn’t do anything. You just sat there as though you were deep into 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvaDSUKEsW
meditation. But when we touched your skin you were as cold as ice. So we733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHquXmdlTlF
grew worried, calling your name and shaking you, but to no avail. We 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2w2sIk5Pb
almost called for the nurse until your eyes flew open.”733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLPBzOP3q4
I sighed out in 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifz2jcnSUC
frustration as I buried my head into my hands. This was not happening. 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUin1UsE8j4
What was going on? I had died this morning but somehow came back to 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceIcDKOObI
life. And now, just trying to remember my death made me go into a dead 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR31v5osBBQ
state all over again.733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAh9hLrtZ77
“Hey, are you okay?” Christine asked. “What happened to you?”733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrpLMvGxeZ
I looked up at my 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3aMSDcFjD
friends as they continued to stare down at me. I wasn’t quite sure 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWVQLv5jm0
whether to tell them that they had been right all along about this 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyCYzQjwOU
morning or just try to make up some excuse of a story. I finally decided733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIuobmj92Y
to tell them the truth. I wasn’t going to bear carrying this secret 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0VQNOBm2J
around with me for long, so I sat upright and took a deep breath.733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytjDUjEAqh
“Okay, I’ll tell you,” I733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTebNdsL6X
said, trying to build up my confidence. I closed my eyes and opened 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqN0PxkMz5
them. And before I could open my mouth to speak, something strange 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0eojgaGTn
happened.733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AMy8pkC6j
A vision of the stranger733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91Nvw3y3Oe
in my dream had quickly appeared before my eyes. He still wore the same733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7tMRi2zg1
black cloak and hood. He had a knife in his hand. The same knife he had733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76FafXpNea
used to kill me. And it was all covered in blood and he was carrying 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxQbuSUXQU
something wrapped around his arm. A body all covered in blood.733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUY9gpIUM5c
Christine’s body!733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkvzDYbaNw
Was all of this a sign 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ASFxZdbkD
that I shouldn’t say anything? The vision had appeared out of nowhere, 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAyVdiVePq
and that meant something. I swallowed hard as I quickly thought of what 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpOqCDncE6
to say next.733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyFhK3nyMw
“I felt like I was 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nnagJEyXx
coming down with something,” I lied. “I felt a little nauseous and I 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6P8kKxCI5
tried sitting up on the bed hoping the feeling would go away.”733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUIm5EwwuM
“But we called out to you a thousand times,” Amanda said. “Why didn’t you say anything?”733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjmSWOFC9F
“I fell asleep,” I answered. “You know sometimes I fall asleep while I sit upright. I do so in class.”733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iFYjIxSpu
That was probably the 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXanYX4se2
worst lie I have ever uttered in my entire life. I don’t how know how 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnlTt0149F
those words came out of my mouth, but they did. I continued to look up 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSaDIIIxXp
at my friends and I prayed that they would believe what I had just said.733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXi93BgQ2m
I had to admit, what I had said was pretty cheeky. I wasn’t going to be733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyk66jG4ju
surprised if they didn’t believe me.733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuU2rqOx8f
“Oh, thank goodness,” said Christine in relief, placing her hand over her chest. “For a moment you had us all worried.”733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbVfOTlsRX
I quickly raised my left eyebrow. She believed that?733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgs9goBJ8T
“Yes, me too,” said Amanda. “You shouldn’t scare us like that. What happened in the morning was more than enough.”733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtybm1fJgBt
“I was just feeling tired and sick, that’s all,” I said, as I pretended to yawn.733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4xRDuzCn3
“Okay, well the time we 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1X3s4x7zo
brought you here to the clinic the doctor attended to you and said 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UsF5Bvu2K
nothing was wrong with you, you just had low blood pressure,” Christine 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawD7901oUG
said.733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPgskJuqtc
“I thought I was coming down with malaria,” I said.733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlKoDFPoAA
“Well, I’m just glad 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4rAGx50K1
you’re okay. Our dorm mates were really worried about you when you had 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGACSj0HtRc
fainted,” said Amanda. “They will be glad to see that you’re okay.”733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztL5xIc3M2
“Can I leave this place?” I asked, as I stood up from the bed. “I don’t want to stay here for a single second.”733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4O4HB8JSE
“Whoa, hold on right 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFEoKiWqFM
there!” Christine held my shoulders and pushed me back on the bed. “You 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQrVDP2i8W
are not going anywhere, my friend. The doctor said so.”733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSErfmLeHJ
“But why? I’m perfectly fine,” I whined.733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlDipTub63
“You need to run through733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYAT5cdyHw
some checkups just in case this doesn’t become serious,” said Amanda. 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbSozlgXia
“Looks like you have to stay here until tomorrow.” 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFV9JGIL2y
Tomorrow! The clinic was733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XZLj2fMdg
the last place I wanted to stay in, and better yet, all alone without 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqZY7CMyrZ
my friends. I soon started to think of the worst. What if the stranger 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnNnHrcknZ
came after me again? And this time, in real life chasing me around the 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Hv5Ts5es8
clinic with his deadly scythe? I swallowed hard as I imagined all of 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakCLnhbwJj
that even happening.733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTAmFJEWFG
“I can’t stay here,” I continued to protest. “I’m perfectly fine. Tell the doctor to come and check up on me again.”733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1cGZ2nso4
“I don’t see why you’re scared, Diana,” said Amanda. “It’s just for one night only to make sure that you’re okay.”733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyJ3DNRja9
“But all of this is 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtJ0ZV1th5
ridiculous. It’s just low blood pressure and you’re acting as though I 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMV2E5oWgYI
have AIDS,” I was getting rather impatient. “Or is there something 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubtEfkVh5T
you’re not telling me?”733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡio0ptRHbBw
“I don’t know, you have 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnixS9366Cc
to ask the doctor that. He said you can’t go back to school until you’re733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuGw9syL7e
perfectly fine,” said Christine. “You better ask him why.”733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFku8khtnrS
“Okay, where is he?” I quickly stood up, getting ready to see the doctor myself.733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcHEwn0eJs
“He is busy with other patients at the moment,” said Christine. “You just have to wait and that will be like till evening.”733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8VPxNqwJW
I hate to admit it, but 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80UBo0seWj
Christine was right. There were a number of patients who came into this 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfX7RRVxmV
hospital each and every day. And considering this place to be rural 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWGV963yaO
area, a lot of people were prone to capture some tropical diseases and 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCpMRBWfV4
others. And there weren’t many doctors in the clinic to attend to all 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAqKmtio3i
those in need of treatment. I just had to be considerate enough and give733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vbBxZAtQN
the doctor some time until he checked up on me again. I just sat down 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5BsgimOjT
on my bed in defeat.733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Fmhz60ZIZ
“Okay, you might have a point,” I said. “I wasn’t even in for a mood for class today, so I might as well just stay here.”733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLseyAzFT8
“Speaking of class, the 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpXwWHdgDC
time for our break is almost up. We better leave,” said Amanda. “I don’t733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaO8B82VuhE
want to be late and end up on the offenders’ list.”733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Yd1VWvBsk
“You guys go ahead,” I said. “I will get your books tomorrow and copy the notes.”733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYNjr7vEdz
“Alright, take care of yourself. We might come back in the evening to say goodnight,” said Christine.733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugTwBqrAla
“Okay,” I said dully as I733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqTVN2cDww
lay down on the bed. It was going to be pretty boring without my 733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEsIsMBpd5
friends around and I sighed as they left the room. I was left completely733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmeoJ5CxuJ
alone in the ward staring at the blank white ceiling above me.
