I finally remember.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7SIiyOam6
My eyes quickly flew 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyJO5RZWBu
open as a sudden sense of familiarity came over me. I was at the school 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNkNEXKvzH
clinic and as I sat up on the bed, I realised that the ward was empty. 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6JapUwfKN
The white coloured walls greeted me with warmth as the sun rays 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXBENPFZgj
reflecting through the windows gave the room a wonderful glow. As I took781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQb1uqA0fIT
in the warmth, everything came back to me. I had fainted in the 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKqXQUqltR
orchard. That wasn’t the only thing that I remembered. There was a whole781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquRbsomNVy
lot to it than I had realised.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgS400US7pn
“I now remember,” I said aloud to the empty ward.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvUy3jAnwj
Everything came back to 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiIoUYKH1A
me in flash like it had in the orchard when I saw the mysterious 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOmzHLmVu7
stranger who was standing behind Amanda. When I had looked at the 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEBuTBWNAj
stranger, I finally remembered what had happened to me when those images781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnvWGJKl7s
came running into my mind. I now remember what had happened to me 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKolRw9VQW9
before I woke up this morning. I hated to say this to myself, but 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMU0RDl49AI
Christine was right. Something was wrong with me and it had started all 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5lIcLsgR9
the way from the time I had failed to wake up this morning until now. As781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQmwJa2nMd
I tried to go through what I could recall from the images that had run 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXQJJzLesK
into my head earlier, I felt I was hit in the face with a reality check.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ43IaPKjYM
I had died in my sleep.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60ctNPTmoo
“You didn’t even budge at all. It was like you were dead or something.”781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckmM8hGPsG
“I was there when 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AxrDN2Yxi
Christine tried to wake you up. You didn’t even move an inch. You just 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ba1LZbY1X
laid there. And you looked, I don’t know, dead.”781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bOREC9QR9
I recalled what 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGXAqOciD4
Christine and Amanda had told me earlier. They were right and what I 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0ZlkOoHBU
could remember proved it all. I had died in my sleep and as far as I 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4kz2XwPWC
could remember, only one person knew why. The stranger who came to the 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfw5rhPhjfj
orchard was the same person in my dreams. And surprisingly, the same 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevCb3gsMNy
stranger was the one who took my life.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogWjFWh1xy
I closed my eyes and 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNRDAsj9dj
everything became clear as I remembered what had happened to me in my 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWuDR9Qavw
dreams. Everything around me was empty and dark. I couldn’t even tell if781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKz1Wvkh0DN
I was floating in the air in the deep void of nothingness or if I had 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNMcEti5st
my feet planted to the floor. There was no sign of life, light or any 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXf5BziSNYq
object I could feel or grab onto. I was nowhere, in a place where things781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VTO1Jzge1
never existed.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRprWSr83J0
Then, out of nowhere, 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19AnPUyDMS
something had appeared right before my eyes, a few feet away from me. 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcd8nS1951s
For a moment I couldn’t tell what it was because it was too dark and the781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptynJrl7ql
same object that had appeared before seemed to be covered in a black 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiV30l0sZY
cloth that swirled around as if there was the presence of wind when it 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHdyq29sDO
actually wasn’t there. I adjusted my eyes a little more to see more 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nmNOnC6xo
clearly. The object was kind of tall and before I could have realised it781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdcMgljwPD
sooner, the object that stood before me was a human being in a black 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGKAXCOs69
long cloak. And whoever it was was facing my direction looking at me. I 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7KsRDrRIM
couldn’t see eyes or even a face underneath the hood; it was dark, dark 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlZwlo4Q9I
as the environment around us. For a moment, it seemed like we were just 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtdRViBbTL
staring at each other until I got a feeling in me that this person in 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEKgR4Nsiq
front of me was creeping me out. The air around us started to get cold 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQZkbb2Z3b
and each second that passed became colder and colder. At some point I 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcQ9M67tDH
breathed out air and an icy cold mist escaped from my nostrils. It was 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Gw941Tbva
definitely getting cold and it felt like I was stuck in a freezer. I 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdsyQNwHwR
started to shiver so violently and when I looked at my hands, they were 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsrjV42M8w
icy blue. My hands soon felt numb from the cold, so did my face and legs781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPH7kLizBDF
too. In a matter of minutes, my body had turned cold and blue. My body 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXphllLRZ5w
had become numb with cold and at that moment, my legs gave way and I 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVHIWezKRJ
fell to the cold floor which had suddenly turned into a hard cold layer 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOL1PnadiSy
of ice. I tried to move, but I was so still. The nerves in my body 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnexpoZ6b7h
seemed to have frozen up too but it was a wonder how my brain was still 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYfTjqJeuX
functioning because I was completely aware of what was going on and I 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjR5yNTOuqz
could see the stranger in the dark cloak just staring back at me not 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmwJLAr5Dt
doing anything to help.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6yYqoX1yC
I tried moving my icy 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaO1SUwf7aZ
blue lips, but it was no use. I couldn’t even feel them. My lungs had 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjpDPUcnd1
stung with pain inside me and I was scared that they were going to stop 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1jhelozZ6
functioning right there and then. What kept my hopes up was the beating 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1guYO2PiIR
of my heart; though I could hear every heart beat grow faint as the 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAubKd84Y9
coldness in me took over. I continued to stare at the stranger in front 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktXW0VVOZn
of me, praying that he could do something to help me.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmPsFT5MvP
As though my thoughts 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJmE7E2P4Y
had finally been heard, the stranger took a step closer towards me. For a781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCcMuSocuC
moment, I finally felt that everything was going to be alright and I 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMoTgiJ9X7
was going to be saved. When the stranger had finally come close enough 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfgXqOhjng
to help, my eyes flew to the hood trying to see if I could see the 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7p1WQbt3z9
stranger’s face, but I still couldn’t see a thing. The stranger 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdhpJ9YmFH
continued to look down at me and even though I couldn’t see any facial 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXry3eUqT1W
features under the hood, I could feel the stranger’s eyes on me. When I 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuu8ClJL8L
had hoped that the stranger was going to help me, that hope was soon 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIimCMLrTu3
replaced with fear in an instant, even in the frozen state I was in. My 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5bUbM1Ewu
eyes bulged out in fear and I prayed in my heart for at least my nerves 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgni3ldkPV2
to kick start again and I would be able to get away from this stranger 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nvjPjSY4i
who I didn’t even know.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6qOwUqpyn
As I continued to pray 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiovVf8O8yw
to myself, the stranger soon knelt to the floor on one knee and the fear781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhRbSoyvBW
in me almost ended my fading heart. The stranger quickly stretched out 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOMGKlILad
his hand and held my cold neck. I could feel the strong hand grip 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapDIEFihd0
tightly around my neck and he was choking me out with the little air I 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvimZAAmFw
could take in my cold state. When the stranger slowly stood, he was 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsoBqDlihS
dragging me upwards along with him. We were now staring at each other. I781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEEIdOu5xc
could still feel the stranger’s gaze on me because it felt like needles781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCwoPTJwPH
were pierced into my eyes. I continued to stare back into the dark void781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxp7jmTmjH
under the hood feeling helpless. I wondered what this person was going 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1LjVdYcFo
to do to me.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN34cqTRwGJ
Soon, a scythe appeared 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PqsEVClEJ
out of nowhere and it stood right beside the stranger in mid-air. The 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQjkc6xow1
stranger took the scythe in his hand and in an instant, the scythe had 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUwx3D2cJ2
transformed into a knife. My heart had started to beat faster than it 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCDPglegTi
had when I had been frozen. I had to admit that I was scared and I tried781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZV2Ri7i4W
to scream for help, but it was no use. No one was here to help me and 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NgsU8doLH
this stranger in front of me seemed to have made up his mind about what 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83RG1RjAWv
he was going to do with me. At that moment, I prayed that all of what I 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkphkSGtGdS
was going through was just a bad dream.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyloa2HLopE
I continued to stare at 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDUgGW6SY3
the stranger in front of me, with a knife in hand. The hand around my 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkN082f1WO
neck tightened with every defying moment. I thought the stranger would 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7IoH5fn2i
have a final say before he drove that knife into me, but there was 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkQo6NYvhv
nothing but silence between us. With all of my might, and with all the 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBW5SCKBC7k
pain and coldness inside of me, I had forced myself to speak:781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRebctZn6Ov
“Plea…..please……do…..don’t do this,” cold mist escaped my lips as I spoke. “What wrong have I done to deserve this?”781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJTOUH38Y1
A cold deafening voice 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcikBpTsFkI
echoed around me from the stranger who had held me captive, it was a 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnogjRSE97A
voice that could have sent anyone running for their lives:781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOT3D03fiH5
“Your time has come, Diana. This is your destiny and how it all ends!”781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7XmfXLmWi
Before I could say 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fgWqNGhhz
anything else, the knife quickly drove through my chest and I had felt 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oKXYkl10a
the piercing pain. Even though I was frozen I could feel the warm blood 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGrn9z1aOy
flow out of my body and its coppery smell filled the air. I looked down 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AUKxc3WDB
on my chest and I saw the red smear of blood staining my shirt. The 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzM2KvPXoXi
knife was quickly removed from my chest and the stranger drove it again,781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30vLRWsbni
this time into my stomach. This time I screamed out in endless pain and781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXCnmdPGlr
my scream echoed around the deep void. The stranger continued to stab 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmprkwj0R2Q
me in so many places and I was left in antagonising pain that I 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZig8EysO8a
continued to scream until I reached a point where I couldn’t scream any 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ633GOYbThT
longer. I was numb with pain.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAmwkt6Z7J
My body soon felt limb 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbhpBPjJeJ
and the next thing I knew I was on the floor and didn’t even know how I 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeluD2ejEKV
had ended up down there. The stranger continued to look down at me as I 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvYfVgRX4Y
was bleeding out to death. I didn’t feel the pain anymore, though I 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfkvEI74B6
could feel something was living my body slowly. Was it my soul, I had 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOpHvbdOYy
wondered. My vision soon became blurry as images started flashing in my 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFVtxAUATI
mind. Were those my memories of the life I had once lived? At that 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8iEMJLhII
moment I couldn’t even think or tell what was real and what wasn’t. My 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFwnkpNWKF
brain was dying so as the rest of my body. I could really feel myself 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1Y1JzULvh
fading into who knows where.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qbdEM1yZj
The stranger soon turned781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4Sk3wGiLn
away from me with the knife in his hand which was covered in blood, in 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1ux35qSrq
my blood. As the stranger walked away, the knife in his hand soon turned781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82W5qxwNTX
back into a scythe and the darkness swallowed the stranger out of 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtsIeoKCYo
sight. 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJcOYqkp8e
And I was left in the darkness, in a pool of my own blood, as I breathed out my last. 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwerEslWQgI
“Diana!”781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTwkG0KlLv
My eyes quickly flew 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9WWshRRgN
open and for a moment, I was oblivious of my surrounding. I felt a hand 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqccZ20mgjY
on my shoulder and Christine stood right in front of me with Amanda 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYJgdDdcg5
standing right behind her. They both had worried looks on their faces 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwqziDBZIq
and I hoped it had nothing to do with me.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrXqrEeBft
“Why are you looking at me like that?” I asked.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZJMmP9Zkv
“We were wondering if you were alright,” Christine answered.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWwGLlEccn
“I’m fine as you can 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWlFsIKFx3
see. There is nothing to worry about,” I tried to sound as normal as 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01Zwk0rVP2
possible after what I had just remembered.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UTUabZ3NE
“It doesn’t seem that way to us,” Amanda said. The look on her face made me even more worried than they were.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vx5NbTCEp
“What do you mean?” I raised my eyebrow.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQMPZ06sox
Amanda and Christine 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYcBEx3bd4
turned to look at each other, looking concerned. They went back to 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmz2GkS6Og
looking at me like I had just said something stupid.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUw2VXUJKSR
“Is someone going to tell me what’s up or do I have to play the guess game?” I snapped, growing impatient. 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0JL11meEb
“We came into the ward 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdALqRzPHgB
and saw you seated on the bed with your eyes closed,” said Christine. 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRM9BeiETpY
“When we called out to you, you didn’t respond. When we shook you, you 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYAyTX3t8P
didn’t do anything. You just sat there as though you were deep into 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiesLApRvYD
meditation. But when we touched your skin you were as cold as ice. So we781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmIoPATLad
grew worried, calling your name and shaking you, but to no avail. We 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOze8J9hT9n
almost called for the nurse until your eyes flew open.”781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5m1u7e2l0
I sighed out in 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9wPatxhHa
frustration as I buried my head into my hands. This was not happening. 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTO90R74zx
What was going on? I had died this morning but somehow came back to 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSRHwYBVxn
life. And now, just trying to remember my death made me go into a dead 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJ9vF7ndqE
state all over again.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfpR9HP7cM
“Hey, are you okay?” Christine asked. “What happened to you?”781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwxEaUS64Y
I looked up at my 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXbLvaAJ8Q
friends as they continued to stare down at me. I wasn’t quite sure 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9a07m0oPFq
whether to tell them that they had been right all along about this 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3p5zYgHS54
morning or just try to make up some excuse of a story. I finally decided781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9su58z5mXV
to tell them the truth. I wasn’t going to bear carrying this secret 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpJyY8LlMp
around with me for long, so I sat upright and took a deep breath.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1KAEv822G
“Okay, I’ll tell you,” I781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdsyPOtUGO
said, trying to build up my confidence. I closed my eyes and opened 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2399pAgZy
them. And before I could open my mouth to speak, something strange 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULOxheNs2M
happened.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpDU6OvkPn
A vision of the stranger781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EBTMhfA9O
in my dream had quickly appeared before my eyes. He still wore the same781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUbQNefz4a
black cloak and hood. He had a knife in his hand. The same knife he had781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZK2acXU1r
used to kill me. And it was all covered in blood and he was carrying 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciYmsDAA6q
something wrapped around his arm. A body all covered in blood.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrNZqMmVbf
Christine’s body!781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBh3GHtoUzl
Was all of this a sign 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFm9xBcFGEG
that I shouldn’t say anything? The vision had appeared out of nowhere, 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooZ2lcqett
and that meant something. I swallowed hard as I quickly thought of what 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIy2XmcgHI
to say next.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWErLK6RgqG
“I felt like I was 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmMbxMlWFM
coming down with something,” I lied. “I felt a little nauseous and I 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyGcZYtmmQ
tried sitting up on the bed hoping the feeling would go away.”781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5U4ra63ZjG
“But we called out to you a thousand times,” Amanda said. “Why didn’t you say anything?”781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspGQMPCZCe
“I fell asleep,” I answered. “You know sometimes I fall asleep while I sit upright. I do so in class.”781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AL2bBQ1Fl
That was probably the 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9qpZ5NUSR
worst lie I have ever uttered in my entire life. I don’t how know how 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEt2FG3Glqy
those words came out of my mouth, but they did. I continued to look up 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcQV6DJYRD
at my friends and I prayed that they would believe what I had just said.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyp7KfJuNf
I had to admit, what I had said was pretty cheeky. I wasn’t going to be781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpiQRpBepT
surprised if they didn’t believe me.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOUn16A3XK
“Oh, thank goodness,” said Christine in relief, placing her hand over her chest. “For a moment you had us all worried.”781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFfyx3aS5r
I quickly raised my left eyebrow. She believed that?781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLB1oQi01D7
“Yes, me too,” said Amanda. “You shouldn’t scare us like that. What happened in the morning was more than enough.”781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VMZLYD1KT
“I was just feeling tired and sick, that’s all,” I said, as I pretended to yawn.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSBIMQYi8D
“Okay, well the time we 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGV9Ts1GPx
brought you here to the clinic the doctor attended to you and said 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQMiyu5QKm
nothing was wrong with you, you just had low blood pressure,” Christine 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QMTIBj1XW
said.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdh9iX1yxr
“I thought I was coming down with malaria,” I said.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKEkr3xeE8
“Well, I’m just glad 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8JSZT7uCO
you’re okay. Our dorm mates were really worried about you when you had 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVPJkvuTZM
fainted,” said Amanda. “They will be glad to see that you’re okay.”781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEflVLxBKej
“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.”781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTWG8WMeq3
“Whoa, hold on right 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sDHj8Kjn0
there!” Christine held my shoulders and pushed me back on the bed. “You 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlP94whCbjT
are not going anywhere, my friend. The doctor said so.”781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc60SBTjhO9
“But why? I’m perfectly fine,” I whined.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPu29tTqZBq
“You need to run through781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6NDR3DW4a
some checkups just in case this doesn’t become serious,” said Amanda. 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJ7CcwgupT
“Looks like you have to stay here until tomorrow.” 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKh4rAQYGOM
Tomorrow! The clinic was781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb16PXhhwHw
the last place I wanted to stay in, and better yet, all alone without 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5WIP7eng2
my friends. I soon started to think of the worst. What if the stranger 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRB94Nq3tx4
came after me again? And this time, in real life chasing me around the 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpH0k8dUiST
clinic with his deadly scythe? I swallowed hard as I imagined all of 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgDgKZj21U
that even happening.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0v9mzk38y
“I can’t stay here,” I continued to protest. “I’m perfectly fine. Tell the doctor to come and check up on me again.”781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrmcbVh8j7
“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.”781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIb3fjL408d
“But all of this is 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkbZ7BIonm
ridiculous. It’s just low blood pressure and you’re acting as though I 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmgjE2IgRD
have AIDS,” I was getting rather impatient. “Or is there something 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oNYq5x5iy
you’re not telling me?”781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybCIO5aCSo
“I don’t know, you have 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy85SheSIMi
to ask the doctor that. He said you can’t go back to school until you’re781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iKAUVuaqP
perfectly fine,” said Christine. “You better ask him why.”781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDB4B76iSV5
“Okay, where is he?” I quickly stood up, getting ready to see the doctor myself.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeMCQzoxBC
“He is busy with other patients at the moment,” said Christine. “You just have to wait and that will be like till evening.”781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVesjn7cWz
I hate to admit it, but 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YMdpKvDTi
Christine was right. There were a number of patients who came into this 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpmuaHXCx9
hospital each and every day. And considering this place to be rural 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXu5EENu5iN
area, a lot of people were prone to capture some tropical diseases and 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5UEmav3Cy
others. And there weren’t many doctors in the clinic to attend to all 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoCJWFWxVi
those in need of treatment. I just had to be considerate enough and give781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc755446Wjn
the doctor some time until he checked up on me again. I just sat down 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYxSOYqWDk
on my bed in defeat.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJk5tsQiBUi
“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.”781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchRPWNdWVQ
“Speaking of class, the 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPOW74Tooj
time for our break is almost up. We better leave,” said Amanda. “I don’t781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXb5MsYz51f
want to be late and end up on the offenders’ list.”781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCxtLA2oIh
“You guys go ahead,” I said. “I will get your books tomorrow and copy the notes.”781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQg45ep1xFC
“Alright, take care of yourself. We might come back in the evening to say goodnight,” said Christine.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEf2WKiDeZ
“Okay,” I said dully as I781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrx2d9YZKcx
lay down on the bed. It was going to be pretty boring without my 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5gGCsFBg8
friends around and I sighed as they left the room. I was left completely781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZkzuDAm6W
alone in the ward staring at the blank white ceiling above me.
