I finally remember.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2dnbxguMl
My eyes quickly flew 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifWJs2vsfO
open as a sudden sense of familiarity came over me. I was at the school 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKStNGzYoxQ
clinic and as I sat up on the bed, I realised that the ward was empty. 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVP5KmmqkTx
The white coloured walls greeted me with warmth as the sun rays 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oWDFHb03t
reflecting through the windows gave the room a wonderful glow. As I took846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeRYmUeOjH
in the warmth, everything came back to me. I had fainted in the 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoDNQX8uZA
orchard. That wasn’t the only thing that I remembered. There was a whole846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9a66mX2zny
lot to it than I had realised.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaHlDGMy34
“I now remember,” I said aloud to the empty ward.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHo8X5y7VzL
Everything came back to 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChtA5K3nAJ
me in flash like it had in the orchard when I saw the mysterious 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGl85dll69b
stranger who was standing behind Amanda. When I had looked at the 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXK8DQP7Ic
stranger, I finally remembered what had happened to me when those images846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPB2k1CbSD
came running into my mind. I now remember what had happened to me 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYi44cmLXQn
before I woke up this morning. I hated to say this to myself, but 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalWkJfFPEe
Christine was right. Something was wrong with me and it had started all 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xnYIsCl4e
the way from the time I had failed to wake up this morning until now. As846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhNDi5HrV1
I tried to go through what I could recall from the images that had run 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1rImaMLit
into my head earlier, I felt I was hit in the face with a reality check.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBZq91aIxx
I had died in my sleep.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGntf5PqjS4
“You didn’t even budge at all. It was like you were dead or something.”846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYbTX8K5yZ
“I was there when 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1WvtgZXBB
Christine tried to wake you up. You didn’t even move an inch. You just 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXY8QCWgCQ
laid there. And you looked, I don’t know, dead.”846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPBydZmo4N
I recalled what 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHKKi4zoTD
Christine and Amanda had told me earlier. They were right and what I 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMf4b9FqLE4
could remember proved it all. I had died in my sleep and as far as I 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUukbEwKxG7
could remember, only one person knew why. The stranger who came to the 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprJAjtrlfn
orchard was the same person in my dreams. And surprisingly, the same 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDopXwsWkD
stranger was the one who took my life.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyF57npFK4H
I closed my eyes and 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrU3otk4P5K
everything became clear as I remembered what had happened to me in my 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOEMdi0Uwz
dreams. Everything around me was empty and dark. I couldn’t even tell if846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiDl6wcBIR
I was floating in the air in the deep void of nothingness or if I had 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwIUGc4uZb
my feet planted to the floor. There was no sign of life, light or any 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsriWdDR5q
object I could feel or grab onto. I was nowhere, in a place where things846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCc0TZAEZf
never existed.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpc1xE9iSi
Then, out of nowhere, 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ022aD3TJdu
something had appeared right before my eyes, a few feet away from me. 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEu4NtDzFgr
For a moment I couldn’t tell what it was because it was too dark and the846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HY9jEwwsH
same object that had appeared before seemed to be covered in a black 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmfv1u1uq3
cloth that swirled around as if there was the presence of wind when it 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93u6bMRI8g
actually wasn’t there. I adjusted my eyes a little more to see more 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhdCFetYqE
clearly. The object was kind of tall and before I could have realised it846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsx1jV92pa
sooner, the object that stood before me was a human being in a black 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjjT5nSBki
long cloak. And whoever it was was facing my direction looking at me. I 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAjz9hnGs9
couldn’t see eyes or even a face underneath the hood; it was dark, dark 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQPmeT7zXh
as the environment around us. For a moment, it seemed like we were just 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88q7x6djc0
staring at each other until I got a feeling in me that this person in 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmRLMvaeL4
front of me was creeping me out. The air around us started to get cold 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1fdkmCZ2i
and each second that passed became colder and colder. At some point I 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4Kwzy3JdG
breathed out air and an icy cold mist escaped from my nostrils. It was 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWuEBuHR0Y
definitely getting cold and it felt like I was stuck in a freezer. I 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnAZSzWZ5G
started to shiver so violently and when I looked at my hands, they were 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxecOg6jtxi
icy blue. My hands soon felt numb from the cold, so did my face and legs846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwb374IRhWz
too. In a matter of minutes, my body had turned cold and blue. My body 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJW0dITp4R
had become numb with cold and at that moment, my legs gave way and I 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wfLUZ6v8s
fell to the cold floor which had suddenly turned into a hard cold layer 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3n8tg8QMN
of ice. I tried to move, but I was so still. The nerves in my body 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOczn2X0TEX
seemed to have frozen up too but it was a wonder how my brain was still 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElx9WWWkDQ
functioning because I was completely aware of what was going on and I 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaf54HKjGkD
could see the stranger in the dark cloak just staring back at me not 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgFo3yChgi
doing anything to help.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8QUch59Y9
I tried moving my icy 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tM1DBKtu0
blue lips, but it was no use. I couldn’t even feel them. My lungs had 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqNh8IZnCR
stung with pain inside me and I was scared that they were going to stop 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCwMliafKv
functioning right there and then. What kept my hopes up was the beating 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiehNPvzf3p
of my heart; though I could hear every heart beat grow faint as the 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPBQLwc80m
coldness in me took over. I continued to stare at the stranger in front 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUc2aLCB2B2
of me, praying that he could do something to help me.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5JHq6E29A
As though my thoughts 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fWQehWgk3
had finally been heard, the stranger took a step closer towards me. For a846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm58lTRCqiP
moment, I finally felt that everything was going to be alright and I 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBPJ5zKQc2
was going to be saved. When the stranger had finally come close enough 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PwipzGWbv
to help, my eyes flew to the hood trying to see if I could see the 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdwNJI7Anm
stranger’s face, but I still couldn’t see a thing. The stranger 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AYGvyWTOc
continued to look down at me and even though I couldn’t see any facial 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiS3qi4HiY
features under the hood, I could feel the stranger’s eyes on me. When I 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgfo2xt2Cj
had hoped that the stranger was going to help me, that hope was soon 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblPYp0ngiw
replaced with fear in an instant, even in the frozen state I was in. My 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4p8WvfnyuG
eyes bulged out in fear and I prayed in my heart for at least my nerves 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdvhTzf1Vv
to kick start again and I would be able to get away from this stranger 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiL6NHCNtH
who I didn’t even know.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5Oz7LaO0q
As I continued to pray 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsgaKZF8j1
to myself, the stranger soon knelt to the floor on one knee and the fear846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPw3lyeDOyD
in me almost ended my fading heart. The stranger quickly stretched out 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsURPPuVFV
his hand and held my cold neck. I could feel the strong hand grip 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVdn3TWjlv
tightly around my neck and he was choking me out with the little air I 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCG21eLc4m
could take in my cold state. When the stranger slowly stood, he was 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnULALA3iND
dragging me upwards along with him. We were now staring at each other. I846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gOsfLqUkt
could still feel the stranger’s gaze on me because it felt like needles846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt309DZcKfh
were pierced into my eyes. I continued to stare back into the dark void846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwf2PvEPnUG
under the hood feeling helpless. I wondered what this person was going 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0qXkVZswQ
to do to me.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4XUHFZMJj
Soon, a scythe appeared 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HKwAnZ5NY
out of nowhere and it stood right beside the stranger in mid-air. The 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mVONynRY6
stranger took the scythe in his hand and in an instant, the scythe had 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvz66hEAsj
transformed into a knife. My heart had started to beat faster than it 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfu32GP0p5J
had when I had been frozen. I had to admit that I was scared and I tried846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7j9WRTItmy
to scream for help, but it was no use. No one was here to help me and 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qt9x0mH1v
this stranger in front of me seemed to have made up his mind about what 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1uzK4F8Bg
he was going to do with me. At that moment, I prayed that all of what I 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSevTDodPDU
was going through was just a bad dream.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7GS9nYAwx
I continued to stare at 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡei4VdPDvNx
the stranger in front of me, with a knife in hand. The hand around my 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKjS2etbH0
neck tightened with every defying moment. I thought the stranger would 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6RwS7kuGv
have a final say before he drove that knife into me, but there was 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEwwnXNIjy
nothing but silence between us. With all of my might, and with all the 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM87AXrKIUH
pain and coldness inside of me, I had forced myself to speak:846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37My0oGTTW
“Plea…..please……do…..don’t do this,” cold mist escaped my lips as I spoke. “What wrong have I done to deserve this?”846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnD07ZPgxkS
A cold deafening voice 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuWjap78aY
echoed around me from the stranger who had held me captive, it was a 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo59bV7BsQr
voice that could have sent anyone running for their lives:846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJRLch65ks
“Your time has come, Diana. This is your destiny and how it all ends!”846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpi5Fz3ru1
Before I could say 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmfl9jVX0P
anything else, the knife quickly drove through my chest and I had felt 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82WhuQu8My
the piercing pain. Even though I was frozen I could feel the warm blood 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljl1z7Ez0v
flow out of my body and its coppery smell filled the air. I looked down 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09NlW240CD
on my chest and I saw the red smear of blood staining my shirt. The 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlewEyMvjkU
knife was quickly removed from my chest and the stranger drove it again,846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzWeQpKexy
this time into my stomach. This time I screamed out in endless pain and846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwmGPg1fQj
my scream echoed around the deep void. The stranger continued to stab 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPmEkXAKV9
me in so many places and I was left in antagonising pain that I 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkjVXRTo56
continued to scream until I reached a point where I couldn’t scream any 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UMgL7QgM8
longer. I was numb with pain.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqS6fHkSu7t
My body soon felt limb 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KfI3HCqgI
and the next thing I knew I was on the floor and didn’t even know how I 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVRgqoEkA3
had ended up down there. The stranger continued to look down at me as I 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPlIlreSqB
was bleeding out to death. I didn’t feel the pain anymore, though I 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ozcICd8HT
could feel something was living my body slowly. Was it my soul, I had 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSIXl1c1PP
wondered. My vision soon became blurry as images started flashing in my 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4R9WUYSrAb
mind. Were those my memories of the life I had once lived? At that 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCniIUg3sk
moment I couldn’t even think or tell what was real and what wasn’t. My 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkQ7bZDR9u
brain was dying so as the rest of my body. I could really feel myself 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRqksDqsJR
fading into who knows where.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICuvcihLvU
The stranger soon turned846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbehvtTvY3I
away from me with the knife in his hand which was covered in blood, in 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjwURn0Zea
my blood. As the stranger walked away, the knife in his hand soon turned846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0J9YB1D7AG
back into a scythe and the darkness swallowed the stranger out of 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzq8V0T87N
sight. 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy50PCKUUqO
And I was left in the darkness, in a pool of my own blood, as I breathed out my last. 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkI5VeRyldK
“Diana!”846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYx7xUkUEs
My eyes quickly flew 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCfrRrUBY9
open and for a moment, I was oblivious of my surrounding. I felt a hand 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNd4R6Rxms
on my shoulder and Christine stood right in front of me with Amanda 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNT8aXBzwp
standing right behind her. They both had worried looks on their faces 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCowerCE08V
and I hoped it had nothing to do with me.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKa0zGI9ZC
“Why are you looking at me like that?” I asked.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3YQOXC2zy
“We were wondering if you were alright,” Christine answered.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpxvdt98W6
“I’m fine as you can 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchdcnmrYlu
see. There is nothing to worry about,” I tried to sound as normal as 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbfkoeYFoh
possible after what I had just remembered.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9GaQivIuH
“It doesn’t seem that way to us,” Amanda said. The look on her face made me even more worried than they were.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnehmQcAFAo
“What do you mean?” I raised my eyebrow.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLL3rRQBZEL
Amanda and Christine 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLdWV49jvh
turned to look at each other, looking concerned. They went back to 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJathFdCIJb
looking at me like I had just said something stupid.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEZaRQepFb
“Is someone going to tell me what’s up or do I have to play the guess game?” I snapped, growing impatient. 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSE3e0llAR9
“We came into the ward 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXBLKoS656
and saw you seated on the bed with your eyes closed,” said Christine. 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZzI0SOojN
“When we called out to you, you didn’t respond. When we shook you, you 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79lReRG6SG
didn’t do anything. You just sat there as though you were deep into 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKi1bNNxfiH
meditation. But when we touched your skin you were as cold as ice. So we846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hxKPnKe86
grew worried, calling your name and shaking you, but to no avail. We 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHI6ZQciGB
almost called for the nurse until your eyes flew open.”846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3LJBmaguQ
I sighed out in 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93kypqURwi
frustration as I buried my head into my hands. This was not happening. 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdMNBBWLOo
What was going on? I had died this morning but somehow came back to 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUzTfiRtNr
life. And now, just trying to remember my death made me go into a dead 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwAsJ1wE41
state all over again.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmwYQ8ZuPT
“Hey, are you okay?” Christine asked. “What happened to you?”846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡST1jItSgfw
I looked up at my 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8a1wSOv4C
friends as they continued to stare down at me. I wasn’t quite sure 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMJD6AhoJF
whether to tell them that they had been right all along about this 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2QI0lsKw6
morning or just try to make up some excuse of a story. I finally decided846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrJBOXo3Qf
to tell them the truth. I wasn’t going to bear carrying this secret 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsigUcCaU0
around with me for long, so I sat upright and took a deep breath.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN50HvK9jSk
“Okay, I’ll tell you,” I846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1klCL118Mc
said, trying to build up my confidence. I closed my eyes and opened 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlljuXagViC
them. And before I could open my mouth to speak, something strange 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnRgTmOx8O
happened.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrx9qESqs1
A vision of the stranger846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNHGuSuCMw
in my dream had quickly appeared before my eyes. He still wore the same846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNwycZApjl
black cloak and hood. He had a knife in his hand. The same knife he had846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pXaTi9Ofi
used to kill me. And it was all covered in blood and he was carrying 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bwYT6YwVl
something wrapped around his arm. A body all covered in blood.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTYs6yY27Z
Christine’s body!846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCs888Jj9ra
Was all of this a sign 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvKvXcKUfX
that I shouldn’t say anything? The vision had appeared out of nowhere, 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOrvVNKDHH
and that meant something. I swallowed hard as I quickly thought of what 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjIEHjW4GR
to say next.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLXlKrs0ee
“I felt like I was 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYccneWu4Iz
coming down with something,” I lied. “I felt a little nauseous and I 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNy3LysHO3F
tried sitting up on the bed hoping the feeling would go away.”846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGf9iFbTp9j
“But we called out to you a thousand times,” Amanda said. “Why didn’t you say anything?”846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisqRrMDHRl
“I fell asleep,” I answered. “You know sometimes I fall asleep while I sit upright. I do so in class.”846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9g5ATwesOc
That was probably the 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCVATCqGxh
worst lie I have ever uttered in my entire life. I don’t how know how 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6unmshScl8
those words came out of my mouth, but they did. I continued to look up 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3Btc34ISh
at my friends and I prayed that they would believe what I had just said.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXnqMrk88H
I had to admit, what I had said was pretty cheeky. I wasn’t going to be846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwf9VHSAMl9
surprised if they didn’t believe me.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifBisGHC0s
“Oh, thank goodness,” said Christine in relief, placing her hand over her chest. “For a moment you had us all worried.”846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxpUVR4e3x
I quickly raised my left eyebrow. She believed that?846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzflYHolVG
“Yes, me too,” said Amanda. “You shouldn’t scare us like that. What happened in the morning was more than enough.”846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFk6aoXvbx
“I was just feeling tired and sick, that’s all,” I said, as I pretended to yawn.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBNuleGkbo
“Okay, well the time we 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbIcnHPuOI
brought you here to the clinic the doctor attended to you and said 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqS0FKqH52Z
nothing was wrong with you, you just had low blood pressure,” Christine 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FKijUHE5f
said.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWooGyjZ6pe
“I thought I was coming down with malaria,” I said.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGXgpKTEto
“Well, I’m just glad 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5z5fNy0Po7
you’re okay. Our dorm mates were really worried about you when you had 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaP4nraFB6N
fainted,” said Amanda. “They will be glad to see that you’re okay.”846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsEcXnotEi
“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.”846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6w4bLdTNjw
“Whoa, hold on right 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3TZs1OnID
there!” Christine held my shoulders and pushed me back on the bed. “You 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nJHBUGSJh
are not going anywhere, my friend. The doctor said so.”846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4vmWyqRW9
“But why? I’m perfectly fine,” I whined.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOUO9Uxiju
“You need to run through846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqz3ptU81zB
some checkups just in case this doesn’t become serious,” said Amanda. 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vN5LcMSFN
“Looks like you have to stay here until tomorrow.” 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRm1FLNIXU
Tomorrow! The clinic was846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnaedANo5d
the last place I wanted to stay in, and better yet, all alone without 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhv0Efd1geL
my friends. I soon started to think of the worst. What if the stranger 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzwats5T02
came after me again? And this time, in real life chasing me around the 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyrI36JeDS
clinic with his deadly scythe? I swallowed hard as I imagined all of 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXB6z4Gd1l
that even happening.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGabLcWogN1
“I can’t stay here,” I continued to protest. “I’m perfectly fine. Tell the doctor to come and check up on me again.”846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboFUX8GHBE
“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.”846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDm32H4RMUw
“But all of this is 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIGIPzxyNd
ridiculous. It’s just low blood pressure and you’re acting as though I 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdPxOigiFV
have AIDS,” I was getting rather impatient. “Or is there something 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQdJRuEmKH
you’re not telling me?”846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPR9qW8X5W
“I don’t know, you have 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcXJK09w7y
to ask the doctor that. He said you can’t go back to school until you’re846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zn7PcYuci
perfectly fine,” said Christine. “You better ask him why.”846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXWzp198q0
“Okay, where is he?” I quickly stood up, getting ready to see the doctor myself.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKygH9vgSsW
“He is busy with other patients at the moment,” said Christine. “You just have to wait and that will be like till evening.”846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZzOlNYrbc
I hate to admit it, but 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuZmdSRjGt
Christine was right. There were a number of patients who came into this 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmHJqkuQP0
hospital each and every day. And considering this place to be rural 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUADNDiTfd
area, a lot of people were prone to capture some tropical diseases and 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt14qtjggGw
others. And there weren’t many doctors in the clinic to attend to all 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSt1h8NDMW
those in need of treatment. I just had to be considerate enough and give846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1fIBua42v
the doctor some time until he checked up on me again. I just sat down 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeqYYjaAzv
on my bed in defeat.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlqpmRqPMH
“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.”846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNYaQpBBIG
“Speaking of class, the 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3HHuuao5q
time for our break is almost up. We better leave,” said Amanda. “I don’t846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUdnW1e42X
want to be late and end up on the offenders’ list.”846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbKNzQoD2Z
“You guys go ahead,” I said. “I will get your books tomorrow and copy the notes.”846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHCEdEL0A8
“Alright, take care of yourself. We might come back in the evening to say goodnight,” said Christine.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvui14R3Gw1
“Okay,” I said dully as I846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKNoJjVdhz
lay down on the bed. It was going to be pretty boring without my 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkkDcCmp8G
friends around and I sighed as they left the room. I was left completely846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstMplUkPIX
alone in the ward staring at the blank white ceiling above me.
