I finally remember.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdOrzZwx82
My eyes quickly flew 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUULJSsY4AP
open as a sudden sense of familiarity came over me. I was at the school 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2LGCvb25h
clinic and as I sat up on the bed, I realised that the ward was empty. 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjOsdWjZf2
The white coloured walls greeted me with warmth as the sun rays 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6TbRBn4rN
reflecting through the windows gave the room a wonderful glow. As I took817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMrizkUsZB
in the warmth, everything came back to me. I had fainted in the 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYIKJ7aV1z
orchard. That wasn’t the only thing that I remembered. There was a whole817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHousVrdkPT
lot to it than I had realised.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp30cTW2t4n
“I now remember,” I said aloud to the empty ward.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwiadAJky3
Everything came back to 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEB1Gp0Sll
me in flash like it had in the orchard when I saw the mysterious 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiHshcn9bw
stranger who was standing behind Amanda. When I had looked at the 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBxAQqiuWq
stranger, I finally remembered what had happened to me when those images817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjGCnDsZuk
came running into my mind. I now remember what had happened to me 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcK5OZvoOrU
before I woke up this morning. I hated to say this to myself, but 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUTi7PVChU
Christine was right. Something was wrong with me and it had started all 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVm4Jyw6FN
the way from the time I had failed to wake up this morning until now. As817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIH3qm3BWG
I tried to go through what I could recall from the images that had run 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZz6wdlInMa
into my head earlier, I felt I was hit in the face with a reality check.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wT4DY8RJB
I had died in my sleep.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVe96Xfx1S
“You didn’t even budge at all. It was like you were dead or something.”817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMc5Y1vivK
“I was there when 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDspdl8IFg4
Christine tried to wake you up. You didn’t even move an inch. You just 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11MQH2u4sO
laid there. And you looked, I don’t know, dead.”817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRzvIvVKa7
I recalled what 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkjBfhbNWF
Christine and Amanda had told me earlier. They were right and what I 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wMK3dVQIi
could remember proved it all. I had died in my sleep and as far as I 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbqgkoJJKm
could remember, only one person knew why. The stranger who came to the 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmpzNAAghb
orchard was the same person in my dreams. And surprisingly, the same 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDN1vsQjNf
stranger was the one who took my life.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jgZz5kvEx
I closed my eyes and 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKE6GTeyKm
everything became clear as I remembered what had happened to me in my 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUk4r5ORIW
dreams. Everything around me was empty and dark. I couldn’t even tell if817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18klwRXgzy
I was floating in the air in the deep void of nothingness or if I had 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMrIbfxNvL
my feet planted to the floor. There was no sign of life, light or any 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflR8FQnzif
object I could feel or grab onto. I was nowhere, in a place where things817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzqSnc9pUc
never existed.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIn2mnSvcJq
Then, out of nowhere, 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYApXXn85T
something had appeared right before my eyes, a few feet away from me. 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxWL9Jfq9v
For a moment I couldn’t tell what it was because it was too dark and the817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uiB9hIIPj
same object that had appeared before seemed to be covered in a black 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXadXzYWdWC
cloth that swirled around as if there was the presence of wind when it 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0NDxYR2CB
actually wasn’t there. I adjusted my eyes a little more to see more 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8F1xDU2lI0
clearly. The object was kind of tall and before I could have realised it817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMX308dBGOl
sooner, the object that stood before me was a human being in a black 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwho1QfzWA
long cloak. And whoever it was was facing my direction looking at me. I 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MDi8bdQc7
couldn’t see eyes or even a face underneath the hood; it was dark, dark 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr85Xk53h9Z
as the environment around us. For a moment, it seemed like we were just 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yCc9aUXO0
staring at each other until I got a feeling in me that this person in 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgzITA1Pxr
front of me was creeping me out. The air around us started to get cold 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUguvtxA1Vy
and each second that passed became colder and colder. At some point I 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxcvz8TpjQ
breathed out air and an icy cold mist escaped from my nostrils. It was 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJYBFkVeUS
definitely getting cold and it felt like I was stuck in a freezer. I 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4xrZCTPas
started to shiver so violently and when I looked at my hands, they were 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeM5NjWwpYy
icy blue. My hands soon felt numb from the cold, so did my face and legs817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaPrfcZ96U
too. In a matter of minutes, my body had turned cold and blue. My body 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlvJqFlwQ6
had become numb with cold and at that moment, my legs gave way and I 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hyedWEuwa
fell to the cold floor which had suddenly turned into a hard cold layer 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfnLJdr6fv
of ice. I tried to move, but I was so still. The nerves in my body 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVSAgPPi9F
seemed to have frozen up too but it was a wonder how my brain was still 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFgcOIJOW4
functioning because I was completely aware of what was going on and I 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JO6AwvJV1
could see the stranger in the dark cloak just staring back at me not 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQXKwkw6wa
doing anything to help.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nl80JyUpE
I tried moving my icy 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchcHObV7o8
blue lips, but it was no use. I couldn’t even feel them. My lungs had 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACjfY0R4QQ
stung with pain inside me and I was scared that they were going to stop 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuqy1zua6b
functioning right there and then. What kept my hopes up was the beating 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJWBwqOdo4
of my heart; though I could hear every heart beat grow faint as the 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmjMRpPLGO
coldness in me took over. I continued to stare at the stranger in front 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTgRJOGeqY
of me, praying that he could do something to help me.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvA1N1F5tv
As though my thoughts 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6PBSxs2Sb
had finally been heard, the stranger took a step closer towards me. For a817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdOdAoSzss
moment, I finally felt that everything was going to be alright and I 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoGRJyntLk
was going to be saved. When the stranger had finally come close enough 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnFS2qYKV8
to help, my eyes flew to the hood trying to see if I could see the 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7w2pTnAdq
stranger’s face, but I still couldn’t see a thing. The stranger 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBY0fFI9DAg
continued to look down at me and even though I couldn’t see any facial 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0IlCluVdz
features under the hood, I could feel the stranger’s eyes on me. When I 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLancbxZ7m
had hoped that the stranger was going to help me, that hope was soon 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3R8dSF7yUP
replaced with fear in an instant, even in the frozen state I was in. My 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSEIRavJxJ
eyes bulged out in fear and I prayed in my heart for at least my nerves 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEklqU8NZBT
to kick start again and I would be able to get away from this stranger 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKGIvQfClD
who I didn’t even know.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxIxpgblTW
As I continued to pray 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecTNDHdLgy
to myself, the stranger soon knelt to the floor on one knee and the fear817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBkgOI0BRi
in me almost ended my fading heart. The stranger quickly stretched out 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yWBn8qgd8
his hand and held my cold neck. I could feel the strong hand grip 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtO8upcVxKG
tightly around my neck and he was choking me out with the little air I 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv62zfs8TFF
could take in my cold state. When the stranger slowly stood, he was 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fPrt44zN4
dragging me upwards along with him. We were now staring at each other. I817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QjMraOq1C
could still feel the stranger’s gaze on me because it felt like needles817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyutCikFfmb
were pierced into my eyes. I continued to stare back into the dark void817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsq7NF1dBy6
under the hood feeling helpless. I wondered what this person was going 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKAMj9QIax
to do to me.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQC325BzHj
Soon, a scythe appeared 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbB2UZubkYx
out of nowhere and it stood right beside the stranger in mid-air. The 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLMzZkDNvI
stranger took the scythe in his hand and in an instant, the scythe had 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwww8KqzqTL
transformed into a knife. My heart had started to beat faster than it 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtY1JRYdqr6
had when I had been frozen. I had to admit that I was scared and I tried817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVjlckAMF1
to scream for help, but it was no use. No one was here to help me and 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2NpVDo2Su
this stranger in front of me seemed to have made up his mind about what 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5KefoD4AQ
he was going to do with me. At that moment, I prayed that all of what I 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvnriN04eS
was going through was just a bad dream.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNTV0WviFz
I continued to stare at 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvctTkQeUTW
the stranger in front of me, with a knife in hand. The hand around my 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNHogmwmBF
neck tightened with every defying moment. I thought the stranger would 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhI4Qk34xL
have a final say before he drove that knife into me, but there was 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvg7PV7EzT
nothing but silence between us. With all of my might, and with all the 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKhwlLcPdZ
pain and coldness inside of me, I had forced myself to speak:817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtOgBEmqy3
“Plea…..please……do…..don’t do this,” cold mist escaped my lips as I spoke. “What wrong have I done to deserve this?”817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkP79eclol
A cold deafening voice 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡya7XA9TNKp
echoed around me from the stranger who had held me captive, it was a 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWG8poJ2sA
voice that could have sent anyone running for their lives:817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNMKNms17d
“Your time has come, Diana. This is your destiny and how it all ends!”817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu15V2Iuep2
Before I could say 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2S344oCNKN
anything else, the knife quickly drove through my chest and I had felt 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0shcotkIcQ
the piercing pain. Even though I was frozen I could feel the warm blood 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtIrL65la7
flow out of my body and its coppery smell filled the air. I looked down 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjCwwEsAWr
on my chest and I saw the red smear of blood staining my shirt. The 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkODJ9utTZ1
knife was quickly removed from my chest and the stranger drove it again,817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65LnWvDsDh
this time into my stomach. This time I screamed out in endless pain and817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSvCLpyS6I
my scream echoed around the deep void. The stranger continued to stab 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6TI1IvbZZ
me in so many places and I was left in antagonising pain that I 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZPC7vJmEJ
continued to scream until I reached a point where I couldn’t scream any 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuO6yF2QBvi
longer. I was numb with pain.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe40p23bQ92
My body soon felt limb 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXvGLaJJIo
and the next thing I knew I was on the floor and didn’t even know how I 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZHal4BjHT
had ended up down there. The stranger continued to look down at me as I 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCJ5AzkWnL
was bleeding out to death. I didn’t feel the pain anymore, though I 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iqFQA660p
could feel something was living my body slowly. Was it my soul, I had 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECBIn2Ko2x
wondered. My vision soon became blurry as images started flashing in my 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyp30ZsK8RC
mind. Were those my memories of the life I had once lived? At that 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCRltt2046
moment I couldn’t even think or tell what was real and what wasn’t. My 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbULluj58nO
brain was dying so as the rest of my body. I could really feel myself 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5q7UVVYUEG
fading into who knows where.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo11338VERR
The stranger soon turned817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTHNAP5pSG
away from me with the knife in his hand which was covered in blood, in 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgF7raUbmt
my blood. As the stranger walked away, the knife in his hand soon turned817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmgt6Y4IKq
back into a scythe and the darkness swallowed the stranger out of 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoMzhIe392
sight. 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbSB8ExOaY
And I was left in the darkness, in a pool of my own blood, as I breathed out my last. 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJSJHOX5LN
“Diana!”817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVK04G3k8Y
My eyes quickly flew 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx58KZ9QcY1
open and for a moment, I was oblivious of my surrounding. I felt a hand 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEA17FXo8Z
on my shoulder and Christine stood right in front of me with Amanda 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHLX2Y7RVd
standing right behind her. They both had worried looks on their faces 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNq6gHt5Phn
and I hoped it had nothing to do with me.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeCZTSMN2e
“Why are you looking at me like that?” I asked.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKbkSkewhL
“We were wondering if you were alright,” Christine answered.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQNp3TaV4P
“I’m fine as you can 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3pr4qY5Ef
see. There is nothing to worry about,” I tried to sound as normal as 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PFbrXWvPm
possible after what I had just remembered.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3jnpYWse5
“It doesn’t seem that way to us,” Amanda said. The look on her face made me even more worried than they were.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JIkf1gGPH
“What do you mean?” I raised my eyebrow.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5ThYk2Xby
Amanda and Christine 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4wwu9173j
turned to look at each other, looking concerned. They went back to 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfd6xKGIvK0
looking at me like I had just said something stupid.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxg2A2O79g
“Is someone going to tell me what’s up or do I have to play the guess game?” I snapped, growing impatient. 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrkYLZNjBH
“We came into the ward 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwCjhHG8Wo
and saw you seated on the bed with your eyes closed,” said Christine. 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydcz2bmoYg
“When we called out to you, you didn’t respond. When we shook you, you 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysleDuCEjc
didn’t do anything. You just sat there as though you were deep into 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoS9ZASFbqP
meditation. But when we touched your skin you were as cold as ice. So we817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi60NK9I9Ww
grew worried, calling your name and shaking you, but to no avail. We 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbru2gL9LG4
almost called for the nurse until your eyes flew open.”817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4v23LzBDX
I sighed out in 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKK80PvgCTq
frustration as I buried my head into my hands. This was not happening. 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZJ0CteVSN
What was going on? I had died this morning but somehow came back to 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlkC4fqKYA
life. And now, just trying to remember my death made me go into a dead 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcw6kaL0KsA
state all over again.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdy7GD7c1M
“Hey, are you okay?” Christine asked. “What happened to you?”817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgRz22wBUg
I looked up at my 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4x57eCXte
friends as they continued to stare down at me. I wasn’t quite sure 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zXkyiGEfz
whether to tell them that they had been right all along about this 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcKcnMPSsD
morning or just try to make up some excuse of a story. I finally decided817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEmefNWLt8
to tell them the truth. I wasn’t going to bear carrying this secret 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqea1hfAeH0
around with me for long, so I sat upright and took a deep breath.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDoj90IZSZ
“Okay, I’ll tell you,” I817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOQB7IvBwm
said, trying to build up my confidence. I closed my eyes and opened 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnafX4SuDr
them. And before I could open my mouth to speak, something strange 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZl4nxUO5J
happened.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWgeb9WY5H
A vision of the stranger817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9Ljk25iwC
in my dream had quickly appeared before my eyes. He still wore the same817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuzihJ1lQl
black cloak and hood. He had a knife in his hand. The same knife he had817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWV1U8Cbwc
used to kill me. And it was all covered in blood and he was carrying 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkuJYMutvo
something wrapped around his arm. A body all covered in blood.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBBMPUGkyy
Christine’s body!817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmc6EBwoA3
Was all of this a sign 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NSqQaIVKc
that I shouldn’t say anything? The vision had appeared out of nowhere, 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iBy09pBGO
and that meant something. I swallowed hard as I quickly thought of what 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVednYy2gHF
to say next.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqva7oiAlpL
“I felt like I was 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eonwCiu1b
coming down with something,” I lied. “I felt a little nauseous and I 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFITqITlGI
tried sitting up on the bed hoping the feeling would go away.”817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3gCzk7wu0
“But we called out to you a thousand times,” Amanda said. “Why didn’t you say anything?”817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfY0XaZ8BvJ
“I fell asleep,” I answered. “You know sometimes I fall asleep while I sit upright. I do so in class.”817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nezbwtZyS
That was probably the 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIzynWtzTF
worst lie I have ever uttered in my entire life. I don’t how know how 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNQGoKzwAo
those words came out of my mouth, but they did. I continued to look up 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LaFBkwxQy
at my friends and I prayed that they would believe what I had just said.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrdC09iOZC
I had to admit, what I had said was pretty cheeky. I wasn’t going to be817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMJh5s4hDU
surprised if they didn’t believe me.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqt84vZz7td
“Oh, thank goodness,” said Christine in relief, placing her hand over her chest. “For a moment you had us all worried.”817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2Gs6vETKI
I quickly raised my left eyebrow. She believed that?817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLPayeGzaC
“Yes, me too,” said Amanda. “You shouldn’t scare us like that. What happened in the morning was more than enough.”817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2WabTHFEL
“I was just feeling tired and sick, that’s all,” I said, as I pretended to yawn.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3S4ayb8YU
“Okay, well the time we 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZVnsM5ySj
brought you here to the clinic the doctor attended to you and said 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSQSXBIK9q
nothing was wrong with you, you just had low blood pressure,” Christine 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tRp1XWohv
said.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQ84d8BVPz
“I thought I was coming down with malaria,” I said.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2Owxibg5C
“Well, I’m just glad 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5xvRPMt2I
you’re okay. Our dorm mates were really worried about you when you had 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwR0yB5m5nN
fainted,” said Amanda. “They will be glad to see that you’re okay.”817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkQ5sx5mDg
“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.”817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbQeg0aqfD
“Whoa, hold on right 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDq57693kUS
there!” Christine held my shoulders and pushed me back on the bed. “You 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGETUI4PlC
are not going anywhere, my friend. The doctor said so.”817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4VnUlatEG
“But why? I’m perfectly fine,” I whined.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzsQIK3A6f
“You need to run through817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlPeaZ7bNM
some checkups just in case this doesn’t become serious,” said Amanda. 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtOJXVs1rk
“Looks like you have to stay here until tomorrow.” 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgjl3mu28N
Tomorrow! The clinic was817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35YnTxIdvs
the last place I wanted to stay in, and better yet, all alone without 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdS24WY6Tm
my friends. I soon started to think of the worst. What if the stranger 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIkwHSqczD
came after me again? And this time, in real life chasing me around the 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwO7gdSgevX
clinic with his deadly scythe? I swallowed hard as I imagined all of 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl59OLfJhwj
that even happening.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPwvl486zY
“I can’t stay here,” I continued to protest. “I’m perfectly fine. Tell the doctor to come and check up on me again.”817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPJkMnQX7t
“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.”817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjkmYsf556
“But all of this is 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVNXIQtrA8
ridiculous. It’s just low blood pressure and you’re acting as though I 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdUR63cnsO
have AIDS,” I was getting rather impatient. “Or is there something 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPQoLrg9Cq
you’re not telling me?”817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Jxm1eX1fg
“I don’t know, you have 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1Zd9iLSFs

perfectly fine,” said Christine. “You better ask him why.”817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKQHE7yjTY
“Okay, where is he?” I quickly stood up, getting ready to see the doctor myself.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSA4thtqwV
“He is busy with other patients at the moment,” said Christine. “You just have to wait and that will be like till evening.”817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwPaaxBCvl
I hate to admit it, but 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFp21gPNk3e
Christine was right. There were a number of patients who came into this 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4ghZYY2xa
hospital each and every day. And considering this place to be rural 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQncq8Uiil
area, a lot of people were prone to capture some tropical diseases and 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtQzuzzuAX
others. And there weren’t many doctors in the clinic to attend to all 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGYcOIRc1a
those in need of treatment. I just had to be considerate enough and give817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FS4L4bDLL
the doctor some time until he checked up on me again. I just sat down 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP63qawlVpB
on my bed in defeat.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToM6eqZscf
“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.”817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTUusfgo4H
“Speaking of class, the 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwC4PeIbmpG
time for our break is almost up. We better leave,” said Amanda. “I don’t817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9Qn2hq1Dh
want to be late and end up on the offenders’ list.”817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvqIE7gk8S
“You guys go ahead,” I said. “I will get your books tomorrow and copy the notes.”817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWs2QULtNK
“Alright, take care of yourself. We might come back in the evening to say goodnight,” said Christine.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgjToPoUQd
“Okay,” I said dully as I817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmMI1VxOzF
lay down on the bed. It was going to be pretty boring without my 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabbYApHJb1
friends around and I sighed as they left the room. I was left completely817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqUm2nxGdL
alone in the ward staring at the blank white ceiling above me.
