I finally remember.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TYhtmHgL8
My eyes quickly flew 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4TtJcimED
open as a sudden sense of familiarity came over me. I was at the school 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEvqNIwIEs
clinic and as I sat up on the bed, I realised that the ward was empty. 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNBbMx7rKY
The white coloured walls greeted me with warmth as the sun rays 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlHW5rWgxx
reflecting through the windows gave the room a wonderful glow. As I took791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaAxO1QELu
in the warmth, everything came back to me. I had fainted in the 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWRYEzrfta
orchard. That wasn’t the only thing that I remembered. There was a whole791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8luZYn22w
lot to it than I had realised.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOkLQQph1s
“I now remember,” I said aloud to the empty ward.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkPUFKLX3J
Everything came back to 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSk3pZIFQF
me in flash like it had in the orchard when I saw the mysterious 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU92mCQuvb8
stranger who was standing behind Amanda. When I had looked at the 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBymBpnj7C
stranger, I finally remembered what had happened to me when those images791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8kSV2Pjsc
came running into my mind. I now remember what had happened to me 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyHQ9ztGjP
before I woke up this morning. I hated to say this to myself, but 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIXL4ufZsc
Christine was right. Something was wrong with me and it had started all 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1Lbb8ndZy
the way from the time I had failed to wake up this morning until now. As791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcto7o7H3Q
I tried to go through what I could recall from the images that had run 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWv6DOKf2ua
into my head earlier, I felt I was hit in the face with a reality check.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWn88y0o1BD
I had died in my sleep.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GVSEIAtA5
“You didn’t even budge at all. It was like you were dead or something.”791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8g2E9moSR
“I was there when 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61nqJvCatb
Christine tried to wake you up. You didn’t even move an inch. You just 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwvllV5QUb
laid there. And you looked, I don’t know, dead.”791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HrqGh9ckM
I recalled what 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngWnfLI3OD
Christine and Amanda had told me earlier. They were right and what I 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGmnhUdgyH
could remember proved it all. I had died in my sleep and as far as I 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL05Bb6xJBP
could remember, only one person knew why. The stranger who came to the 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1b9SC2x8FL
orchard was the same person in my dreams. And surprisingly, the same 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDK4s8xZWL
stranger was the one who took my life.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1X8lykTtBB
I closed my eyes and 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLworh05DP6
everything became clear as I remembered what had happened to me in my 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswn428bJJy
dreams. Everything around me was empty and dark. I couldn’t even tell if791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8LEfwpNOI
I was floating in the air in the deep void of nothingness or if I had 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSkRXkmpBj
my feet planted to the floor. There was no sign of life, light or any 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7WHZENWTY
object I could feel or grab onto. I was nowhere, in a place where things791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimNwRc8jkR
never existed.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmFx1A4Xvr
Then, out of nowhere, 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrwbcZGfWg
something had appeared right before my eyes, a few feet away from me. 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIduj2XEPCU
For a moment I couldn’t tell what it was because it was too dark and the791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWrqmkEjr9
same object that had appeared before seemed to be covered in a black 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpHgFnfT4X
cloth that swirled around as if there was the presence of wind when it 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6KOGuNVIR
actually wasn’t there. I adjusted my eyes a little more to see more 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTl4ww5JQKM
clearly. The object was kind of tall and before I could have realised it791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9oqZ7V82k
sooner, the object that stood before me was a human being in a black 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsbzhuSpVD
long cloak. And whoever it was was facing my direction looking at me. I 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzY42fud5A
couldn’t see eyes or even a face underneath the hood; it was dark, dark 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0QgRhqYs3
as the environment around us. For a moment, it seemed like we were just 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpoFh2SwiX
staring at each other until I got a feeling in me that this person in 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAznGkL8oK
front of me was creeping me out. The air around us started to get cold 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QpiaB6oo8
and each second that passed became colder and colder. At some point I 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjO14RsC6J
breathed out air and an icy cold mist escaped from my nostrils. It was 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfR84rzpQuY
definitely getting cold and it felt like I was stuck in a freezer. I 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy77JGvwHyh
started to shiver so violently and when I looked at my hands, they were 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ORn6Zn6bU
icy blue. My hands soon felt numb from the cold, so did my face and legs791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDU4UjacDnq
too. In a matter of minutes, my body had turned cold and blue. My body 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEChXeWxtC
had become numb with cold and at that moment, my legs gave way and I 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoizj6akHM
fell to the cold floor which had suddenly turned into a hard cold layer 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiAOVd10Oi
of ice. I tried to move, but I was so still. The nerves in my body 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHGFlHRwid
seemed to have frozen up too but it was a wonder how my brain was still 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKoBPotq8C
functioning because I was completely aware of what was going on and I 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIClYxblOTA
could see the stranger in the dark cloak just staring back at me not 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0rbR1uwke
doing anything to help.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7cGJLqvoP
I tried moving my icy 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMED25ByBc2
blue lips, but it was no use. I couldn’t even feel them. My lungs had 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQ109M4Lo2
stung with pain inside me and I was scared that they were going to stop 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJ7lAneiGO
functioning right there and then. What kept my hopes up was the beating 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPuWNg0OvV
of my heart; though I could hear every heart beat grow faint as the 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMe1RB7Dbjm
coldness in me took over. I continued to stare at the stranger in front 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WX2m1GNNe
of me, praying that he could do something to help me.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbalZ2MZ1S7
As though my thoughts 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwogEtUTEH
had finally been heard, the stranger took a step closer towards me. For a791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUb2sdqMiXF
moment, I finally felt that everything was going to be alright and I 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlorEbEL15l
was going to be saved. When the stranger had finally come close enough 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZ0S1y0dd5
to help, my eyes flew to the hood trying to see if I could see the 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxmThOBE6O
stranger’s face, but I still couldn’t see a thing. The stranger 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTojtOdR5Yl
continued to look down at me and even though I couldn’t see any facial 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8me9hCCzw
features under the hood, I could feel the stranger’s eyes on me. When I 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaAXSnzmXU
had hoped that the stranger was going to help me, that hope was soon 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtJscee9GJ
replaced with fear in an instant, even in the frozen state I was in. My 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXCbZOxM7m
eyes bulged out in fear and I prayed in my heart for at least my nerves 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuiI6sWUeD
to kick start again and I would be able to get away from this stranger 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFZLpV2Bs3
who I didn’t even know.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiFjhycGfk
As I continued to pray 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWlBtLyzh1
to myself, the stranger soon knelt to the floor on one knee and the fear791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSTeKzp9VS
in me almost ended my fading heart. The stranger quickly stretched out 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcNgiQpsqZ
his hand and held my cold neck. I could feel the strong hand grip 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoJjyllpvQ
tightly around my neck and he was choking me out with the little air I 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Zeux0pVeS
could take in my cold state. When the stranger slowly stood, he was 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZJY5tVTSp
dragging me upwards along with him. We were now staring at each other. I791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eGhkBh0wg
could still feel the stranger’s gaze on me because it felt like needles791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWcqIfU6FK
were pierced into my eyes. I continued to stare back into the dark void791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7gd1wpMue
under the hood feeling helpless. I wondered what this person was going 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEd71oHcdc
to do to me.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmgqHWVCRC
Soon, a scythe appeared 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVYqNYkLCR
out of nowhere and it stood right beside the stranger in mid-air. The 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4e2ONAezOy
stranger took the scythe in his hand and in an instant, the scythe had 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarWbqFc1KE
transformed into a knife. My heart had started to beat faster than it 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSErwlQ3fV
had when I had been frozen. I had to admit that I was scared and I tried791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSgEOkn8YG
to scream for help, but it was no use. No one was here to help me and 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQx4TG1WUM
this stranger in front of me seemed to have made up his mind about what 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzymIGpEaa
he was going to do with me. At that moment, I prayed that all of what I 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDORtDSp5Y8
was going through was just a bad dream.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDU2uf7pdk
I continued to stare at 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzCaebzxNc
the stranger in front of me, with a knife in hand. The hand around my 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVv6dczTUN
neck tightened with every defying moment. I thought the stranger would 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouuyzNCxd0
have a final say before he drove that knife into me, but there was 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ebG4B6Led
nothing but silence between us. With all of my might, and with all the 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsBQokNAa2
pain and coldness inside of me, I had forced myself to speak:791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOL1VP1T3V
“Plea…..please……do…..don’t do this,” cold mist escaped my lips as I spoke. “What wrong have I done to deserve this?”791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9sOw4WMcg
A cold deafening voice 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Mf2W5IQSx
echoed around me from the stranger who had held me captive, it was a 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknAwcPnWaH
voice that could have sent anyone running for their lives:791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsi9fUatAk
“Your time has come, Diana. This is your destiny and how it all ends!”791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwLC0XCf3e
Before I could say 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqNtatl1Gm
anything else, the knife quickly drove through my chest and I had felt 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudWz5iSWly
the piercing pain. Even though I was frozen I could feel the warm blood 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCo7ILVzS8R
flow out of my body and its coppery smell filled the air. I looked down 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrKv17COYF
on my chest and I saw the red smear of blood staining my shirt. The 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1vMg26ujk
knife was quickly removed from my chest and the stranger drove it again,791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9l2d7MUPIY
this time into my stomach. This time I screamed out in endless pain and791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLDRwd3lkq
my scream echoed around the deep void. The stranger continued to stab 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBk1QIxOdIR
me in so many places and I was left in antagonising pain that I 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBApZQ6HxwM
continued to scream until I reached a point where I couldn’t scream any 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyDwPSwwBX
longer. I was numb with pain.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAcOFY4vKH
My body soon felt limb 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyfT8UwMiC
and the next thing I knew I was on the floor and didn’t even know how I 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzi8tbvcv7l
had ended up down there. The stranger continued to look down at me as I 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjaCTDPela
was bleeding out to death. I didn’t feel the pain anymore, though I 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWqKl4R9yV
could feel something was living my body slowly. Was it my soul, I had 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrGS2UtmaL
wondered. My vision soon became blurry as images started flashing in my 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcetQM2jX7
mind. Were those my memories of the life I had once lived? At that 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNNeZlIuTF
moment I couldn’t even think or tell what was real and what wasn’t. My 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1D2X3MtHF
brain was dying so as the rest of my body. I could really feel myself 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqlvOQITyi
fading into who knows where.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgvaCWaQDT
The stranger soon turned791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhKFqlLNyw
away from me with the knife in his hand which was covered in blood, in 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwL8m1kOZU
my blood. As the stranger walked away, the knife in his hand soon turned791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbq0Y8N6Cc
back into a scythe and the darkness swallowed the stranger out of 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3itZPtMhOR
sight. 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkizyonEdF
And I was left in the darkness, in a pool of my own blood, as I breathed out my last. 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAaK75z5tc
“Diana!”791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAeE2A4ZCd
My eyes quickly flew 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9PqnCT3CI
open and for a moment, I was oblivious of my surrounding. I felt a hand 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFf0NhQmnns
on my shoulder and Christine stood right in front of me with Amanda 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dAWXqugCC
standing right behind her. They both had worried looks on their faces 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Mkc2OW1PA
and I hoped it had nothing to do with me.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7dOs5fe0a
“Why are you looking at me like that?” I asked.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VNFtKE2cI
“We were wondering if you were alright,” Christine answered.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxx2kkyBNW
“I’m fine as you can 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOkmPTMtcs
see. There is nothing to worry about,” I tried to sound as normal as 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cZsosf9ZP
possible after what I had just remembered.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nGM6Hedql
“It doesn’t seem that way to us,” Amanda said. The look on her face made me even more worried than they were.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarDZotRV4a
“What do you mean?” I raised my eyebrow.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwCWGEAqjy
Amanda and Christine 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcT2wYv1vJ
turned to look at each other, looking concerned. They went back to 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigtoNpX5sj
looking at me like I had just said something stupid.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHYl85ce0A
“Is someone going to tell me what’s up or do I have to play the guess game?” I snapped, growing impatient. 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZU9XFxOCZk
“We came into the ward 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TZEaItav7
and saw you seated on the bed with your eyes closed,” said Christine. 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jIbjS6FfG
“When we called out to you, you didn’t respond. When we shook you, you 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRb2yAcGMwF
didn’t do anything. You just sat there as though you were deep into 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NhIi3Bf2t
meditation. But when we touched your skin you were as cold as ice. So we791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TFLlWskwg
grew worried, calling your name and shaking you, but to no avail. We 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPZms3rp4z
almost called for the nurse until your eyes flew open.”791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88dNl01max
I sighed out in 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasKuvOvHQC
frustration as I buried my head into my hands. This was not happening. 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QK37D65Wm
What was going on? I had died this morning but somehow came back to 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuanQUYPtLA
life. And now, just trying to remember my death made me go into a dead 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdimkGksVGi
state all over again.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQygN994jA
“Hey, are you okay?” Christine asked. “What happened to you?”791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfS6dfrmuoC
I looked up at my 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFVTdJMYPN
friends as they continued to stare down at me. I wasn’t quite sure 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5n6O2PMro
whether to tell them that they had been right all along about this 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhY1EycwQK
morning or just try to make up some excuse of a story. I finally decided791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUPxik2CsO
to tell them the truth. I wasn’t going to bear carrying this secret 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcl2IRmSAG
around with me for long, so I sat upright and took a deep breath.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLK7avTvq4
“Okay, I’ll tell you,” I791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBp1uUlDv0j
said, trying to build up my confidence. I closed my eyes and opened 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgvfPjSFlt
them. And before I could open my mouth to speak, something strange 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfGK8zRSt6
happened.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7g4DUuWSE0
A vision of the stranger791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzeXXDrir5
in my dream had quickly appeared before my eyes. He still wore the same791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzj0aDWmPl
black cloak and hood. He had a knife in his hand. The same knife he had791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzo1CP15Uo
used to kill me. And it was all covered in blood and he was carrying 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRDYMvtS4p
something wrapped around his arm. A body all covered in blood.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKWEXkjX8K
Christine’s body!791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdrBbcFk6n
Was all of this a sign 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmKtppzjXq
that I shouldn’t say anything? The vision had appeared out of nowhere, 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk74c71HSDJ
and that meant something. I swallowed hard as I quickly thought of what 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5nMKUNecm
to say next.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiBfMOBpqz
“I felt like I was 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4RXefZZIl
coming down with something,” I lied. “I felt a little nauseous and I 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGkwVqpmuG
tried sitting up on the bed hoping the feeling would go away.”791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBZ6owZ8qw
“But we called out to you a thousand times,” Amanda said. “Why didn’t you say anything?”791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToCEKTOYVe
“I fell asleep,” I answered. “You know sometimes I fall asleep while I sit upright. I do so in class.”791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXscGU7dJI0
That was probably the 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIPqyo8I0A
worst lie I have ever uttered in my entire life. I don’t how know how 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1szGUsH05A
those words came out of my mouth, but they did. I continued to look up 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKANA4txko
at my friends and I prayed that they would believe what I had just said.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuc9FtySLiq
I had to admit, what I had said was pretty cheeky. I wasn’t going to be791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40Zk5pqQo4
surprised if they didn’t believe me.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecgoZQfZFm
“Oh, thank goodness,” said Christine in relief, placing her hand over her chest. “For a moment you had us all worried.”791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlKoHl53Zd
I quickly raised my left eyebrow. She believed that?791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtKOxnCRVo
“Yes, me too,” said Amanda. “You shouldn’t scare us like that. What happened in the morning was more than enough.”791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFf3s7iR8C
“I was just feeling tired and sick, that’s all,” I said, as I pretended to yawn.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiryX7hepSB
“Okay, well the time we 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpO8DPCfwh
brought you here to the clinic the doctor attended to you and said 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDmg3vIw2Z
nothing was wrong with you, you just had low blood pressure,” Christine 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6HAT3o0Wo
said.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFCN3IZqvL
“I thought I was coming down with malaria,” I said.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkHhVijOcM
“Well, I’m just glad 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwo44LMWVg
you’re okay. Our dorm mates were really worried about you when you had 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBE1nGgYx49
fainted,” said Amanda. “They will be glad to see that you’re okay.”791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3I4wkU9vTT
“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.”791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfFOI13dtT
“Whoa, hold on right 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwQBk535ZZ
there!” Christine held my shoulders and pushed me back on the bed. “You 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoWtty072T
are not going anywhere, my friend. The doctor said so.”791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wGZHGkl6m
“But why? I’m perfectly fine,” I whined.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlmLZ0RACR
“You need to run through791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVYlcE5Ke3
some checkups just in case this doesn’t become serious,” said Amanda. 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZA6uYzUF13
“Looks like you have to stay here until tomorrow.” 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU49oozRxkI
Tomorrow! The clinic was791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOkpRTmnBC
the last place I wanted to stay in, and better yet, all alone without 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdO7eJArM59
my friends. I soon started to think of the worst. What if the stranger 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGfoqPuEJQ
came after me again? And this time, in real life chasing me around the 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXHdEYrHfi
clinic with his deadly scythe? I swallowed hard as I imagined all of 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLfLDgm3k9
that even happening.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPp3bvv5eR
“I can’t stay here,” I continued to protest. “I’m perfectly fine. Tell the doctor to come and check up on me again.”791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbZIuFOr4p
“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.”791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8ZPmyJzdH
“But all of this is 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwbhCd7WCJ
ridiculous. It’s just low blood pressure and you’re acting as though I 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroxMvh1P66
have AIDS,” I was getting rather impatient. “Or is there something 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7G27TBKoU5
you’re not telling me?”791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYbbTDAitr
“I don’t know, you have 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfg8Pk8p1O0
to ask the doctor that. He said you can’t go back to school until you’re791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0j2NtFVbwb
perfectly fine,” said Christine. “You better ask him why.”791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0YsyUjjiP
“Okay, where is he?” I quickly stood up, getting ready to see the doctor myself.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXsb8sreM0
“He is busy with other patients at the moment,” said Christine. “You just have to wait and that will be like till evening.”791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpTRNlPnh9
I hate to admit it, but 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuvc8O2JJo
Christine was right. There were a number of patients who came into this 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qbleXw8OF
hospital each and every day. And considering this place to be rural 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94SsCKdqv3
area, a lot of people were prone to capture some tropical diseases and 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2Z6KaJ2Mc
others. And there weren’t many doctors in the clinic to attend to all 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksMUmdkML9
those in need of treatment. I just had to be considerate enough and give791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaEkxv3c1r
the doctor some time until he checked up on me again. I just sat down 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSP8PntUhc
on my bed in defeat.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ARvHt4rnG
“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.”791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTLXR2l82u
“Speaking of class, the 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMMzaT3M87
time for our break is almost up. We better leave,” said Amanda. “I don’t791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4W06ELrSaN
want to be late and end up on the offenders’ list.”791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0HS9vlj9l
“You guys go ahead,” I said. “I will get your books tomorrow and copy the notes.”791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5HC7Nv6R7
“Alright, take care of yourself. We might come back in the evening to say goodnight,” said Christine.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIpTWd0G4v
“Okay,” I said dully as I791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5E4Ohk2kg
lay down on the bed. It was going to be pretty boring without my 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYc4yndAzB
friends around and I sighed as they left the room. I was left completely791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELjKpcS1rC
alone in the ward staring at the blank white ceiling above me.
