I finally remember.822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYriBhPsNl
My eyes quickly flew 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlW4l0CgLtX
open as a sudden sense of familiarity came over me. I was at the school 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFYBnGsTBn
clinic and as I sat up on the bed, I realised that the ward was empty. 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLAppaehBt
The white coloured walls greeted me with warmth as the sun rays 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPsyrU4aSv
reflecting through the windows gave the room a wonderful glow. As I took822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3Q0X77eh8
in the warmth, everything came back to me. I had fainted in the 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRNX6x9HEI
orchard. That wasn’t the only thing that I remembered. There was a whole822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyswhP00rz
lot to it than I had realised.822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TOdoQul9k
“I now remember,” I said aloud to the empty ward.822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCD8MEqi80N
Everything came back to 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBJLhh7DhL
me in flash like it had in the orchard when I saw the mysterious 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0bmnXn9Fg
stranger who was standing behind Amanda. When I had looked at the 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ojO1aIg3C
stranger, I finally remembered what had happened to me when those images822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqAiaTBrxG
came running into my mind. I now remember what had happened to me 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvGOjktpsu
before I woke up this morning. I hated to say this to myself, but 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29D3wXLk1F
Christine was right. Something was wrong with me and it had started all 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKKKcAEvx2
the way from the time I had failed to wake up this morning until now. As822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaIBSDCYG0
I tried to go through what I could recall from the images that had run 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aTnjvTk2X
into my head earlier, I felt I was hit in the face with a reality check.822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8q32NUAgjg
I had died in my sleep.822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7C0iNXA3N6
“You didn’t even budge at all. It was like you were dead or something.”822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1l2yrKK3U9
“I was there when 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AsWZdePOS
Christine tried to wake you up. You didn’t even move an inch. You just 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWK92hh4vta
laid there. And you looked, I don’t know, dead.”822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dk4Q84LGS
I recalled what 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNDcnu4avB
Christine and Amanda had told me earlier. They were right and what I 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhfw0xLanP
could remember proved it all. I had died in my sleep and as far as I 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZeH5cmRzB
could remember, only one person knew why. The stranger who came to the 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW720OcJIFV
orchard was the same person in my dreams. And surprisingly, the same 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjspeyTisb
stranger was the one who took my life.822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNR61pQfOef
I closed my eyes and 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJPrV5kGFe
everything became clear as I remembered what had happened to me in my 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5kjz4n7EQ
dreams. Everything around me was empty and dark. I couldn’t even tell if822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTNDvTULUH
I was floating in the air in the deep void of nothingness or if I had 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeuEhvWHhW
my feet planted to the floor. There was no sign of life, light or any 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUVemHVdkw
object I could feel or grab onto. I was nowhere, in a place where things822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgIqFghKxM
never existed.822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmd0BZf8uk
Then, out of nowhere, 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUspz77SxTp
something had appeared right before my eyes, a few feet away from me. 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YMQO8X5ey
For a moment I couldn’t tell what it was because it was too dark and the822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rrolHm0xk
same object that had appeared before seemed to be covered in a black 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCoDGXY4n7
cloth that swirled around as if there was the presence of wind when it 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPssgSQqFAz
actually wasn’t there. I adjusted my eyes a little more to see more 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAZMOGocq4
clearly. The object was kind of tall and before I could have realised it822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5jMzlgOob
sooner, the object that stood before me was a human being in a black 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZd3KGNHNKj
long cloak. And whoever it was was facing my direction looking at me. I 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzB283NtlVa
couldn’t see eyes or even a face underneath the hood; it was dark, dark 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvtm3duOXi
as the environment around us. For a moment, it seemed like we were just 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnI4NL8xUYC
staring at each other until I got a feeling in me that this person in 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXZ0Bb9Joc
front of me was creeping me out. The air around us started to get cold 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiH31eeHZxx
and each second that passed became colder and colder. At some point I 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCmGDdW7Vn
breathed out air and an icy cold mist escaped from my nostrils. It was 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bpd1BWf7h
definitely getting cold and it felt like I was stuck in a freezer. I 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YVA08rxqk
started to shiver so violently and when I looked at my hands, they were 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGz9gF5Vrwf
icy blue. My hands soon felt numb from the cold, so did my face and legs822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLJf9gB6iZ
too. In a matter of minutes, my body had turned cold and blue. My body 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJArDSJk8Ah
had become numb with cold and at that moment, my legs gave way and I 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAo6emXQiYm
fell to the cold floor which had suddenly turned into a hard cold layer 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCT923iZOUx
of ice. I tried to move, but I was so still. The nerves in my body 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqzBes72UU
seemed to have frozen up too but it was a wonder how my brain was still 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGtr8Y8hxY
functioning because I was completely aware of what was going on and I 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInN0ZwYtDH
could see the stranger in the dark cloak just staring back at me not 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwsdWIEIE2
doing anything to help.822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7iLx7ihw2
I tried moving my icy 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRTnO75UK5
blue lips, but it was no use. I couldn’t even feel them. My lungs had 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3uOGEbJoc
stung with pain inside me and I was scared that they were going to stop 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmy7V6FUbF
functioning right there and then. What kept my hopes up was the beating 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jvrtc6lXQ
of my heart; though I could hear every heart beat grow faint as the 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75yOqbqfAS
coldness in me took over. I continued to stare at the stranger in front 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1iWxrnN5D
of me, praying that he could do something to help me.822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtNFXMuZCZ
As though my thoughts 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVdeoapxQx
had finally been heard, the stranger took a step closer towards me. For a822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkKYcvaIWN
moment, I finally felt that everything was going to be alright and I 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EGiysTwGO
was going to be saved. When the stranger had finally come close enough 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIKM8mcZXH
to help, my eyes flew to the hood trying to see if I could see the 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5Kv6MwIHU
stranger’s face, but I still couldn’t see a thing. The stranger 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Rt7tgiXD9
continued to look down at me and even though I couldn’t see any facial 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0P2fVjBFq
features under the hood, I could feel the stranger’s eyes on me. When I 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1buTfp7op
had hoped that the stranger was going to help me, that hope was soon 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxL1vWPN0Hz
replaced with fear in an instant, even in the frozen state I was in. My 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vVnsd1X91
eyes bulged out in fear and I prayed in my heart for at least my nerves 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWwNz2nTpY
to kick start again and I would be able to get away from this stranger 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwnMZrL4Op
who I didn’t even know.822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjIjxuDr9C
As I continued to pray 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5O7naQf4m
to myself, the stranger soon knelt to the floor on one knee and the fear822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIoCUhQZYD
in me almost ended my fading heart. The stranger quickly stretched out 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1ifA9k6E8
his hand and held my cold neck. I could feel the strong hand grip 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHGKeIVfXi
tightly around my neck and he was choking me out with the little air I 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREoWYNQcsv
could take in my cold state. When the stranger slowly stood, he was 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOAWRHndvz
dragging me upwards along with him. We were now staring at each other. I822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vv4iF0EVe
could still feel the stranger’s gaze on me because it felt like needles822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoweX9fW6fi
were pierced into my eyes. I continued to stare back into the dark void822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz99Ude8QcT
under the hood feeling helpless. I wondered what this person was going 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE64sNuoXd2
to do to me.822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCcf1dxk7e
Soon, a scythe appeared 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEjC6OZzXA
out of nowhere and it stood right beside the stranger in mid-air. The 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLJph452vh
stranger took the scythe in his hand and in an instant, the scythe had 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJFfmpCACR
transformed into a knife. My heart had started to beat faster than it 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSQ0lJ4waw
had when I had been frozen. I had to admit that I was scared and I tried822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHoDJYM0n9
to scream for help, but it was no use. No one was here to help me and 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgNrGqSY2R
this stranger in front of me seemed to have made up his mind about what 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwyxkC8zUt
he was going to do with me. At that moment, I prayed that all of what I 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IPwNLJTwc
was going through was just a bad dream.822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeDr2nwVAE
I continued to stare at 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QrIjX5LUX
the stranger in front of me, with a knife in hand. The hand around my 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbD6c5rt1a
neck tightened with every defying moment. I thought the stranger would 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeFiE0O388
have a final say before he drove that knife into me, but there was 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2ywdZ7a1p
nothing but silence between us. With all of my might, and with all the 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCtNr4S5Kt
pain and coldness inside of me, I had forced myself to speak:822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkApjhJXT2Z
“Plea…..please……do…..don’t do this,” cold mist escaped my lips as I spoke. “What wrong have I done to deserve this?”822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CW7EowyOf
A cold deafening voice 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwazrQiD1O
echoed around me from the stranger who had held me captive, it was a 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrb7iJ6ktz
voice that could have sent anyone running for their lives:822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTkXw97H7b
“Your time has come, Diana. This is your destiny and how it all ends!”822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaxgeOdBGJ
Before I could say 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLGNqktmPJ
anything else, the knife quickly drove through my chest and I had felt 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwm9aOEVyH
the piercing pain. Even though I was frozen I could feel the warm blood 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV73oDWzMmm
flow out of my body and its coppery smell filled the air. I looked down 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZcZnuO3Xw
on my chest and I saw the red smear of blood staining my shirt. The 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpEO5fg5r7
knife was quickly removed from my chest and the stranger drove it again,822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThAlTPFJgN
this time into my stomach. This time I screamed out in endless pain and822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLEa1pXbE4
my scream echoed around the deep void. The stranger continued to stab 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBgkLgeZzV
me in so many places and I was left in antagonising pain that I 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmHsKIuwDV
continued to scream until I reached a point where I couldn’t scream any 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aZ5mH0m91
longer. I was numb with pain.822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5wqSkvFb9
My body soon felt limb 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsBi22D5pJ
and the next thing I knew I was on the floor and didn’t even know how I 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBwRjN0Ig9
had ended up down there. The stranger continued to look down at me as I 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7XLHOijAF
was bleeding out to death. I didn’t feel the pain anymore, though I 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEQiQDaR3Q
could feel something was living my body slowly. Was it my soul, I had 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTb6V6WAfd
wondered. My vision soon became blurry as images started flashing in my 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWl2nRNe3YQ
mind. Were those my memories of the life I had once lived? At that 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuD0MKXk6E
moment I couldn’t even think or tell what was real and what wasn’t. My 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTS0EP1u41
brain was dying so as the rest of my body. I could really feel myself 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQnMRRwLw0
fading into who knows where.822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GTrZy7mDc
The stranger soon turned822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGa03G9EAk
away from me with the knife in his hand which was covered in blood, in 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwT0HDFryfn
my blood. As the stranger walked away, the knife in his hand soon turned822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNEERWWaFX
back into a scythe and the darkness swallowed the stranger out of 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnQh1Y9vEH
sight. 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrt5UvU2o3u
And I was left in the darkness, in a pool of my own blood, as I breathed out my last. 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3pvwZ9Egk
“Diana!”822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6jG5syEEH
My eyes quickly flew 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOII9pXVYTy
open and for a moment, I was oblivious of my surrounding. I felt a hand 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpK6G2onFdt
on my shoulder and Christine stood right in front of me with Amanda 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79fKeW8bKh
standing right behind her. They both had worried looks on their faces 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfm5qW35ZE8
and I hoped it had nothing to do with me.822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPethdK7Iei
“Why are you looking at me like that?” I asked.822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVW01PDuPdw
“We were wondering if you were alright,” Christine answered.822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTg8R5hNXCi
“I’m fine as you can 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCgHRhbi3r
see. There is nothing to worry about,” I tried to sound as normal as 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8HjVXufEa
possible after what I had just remembered.822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuF4z1ONtaJ
“It doesn’t seem that way to us,” Amanda said. The look on her face made me even more worried than they were.822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtv0v6aCn9m
“What do you mean?” I raised my eyebrow.822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiP3E9xAid
Amanda and Christine 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6BLyh6QxA
turned to look at each other, looking concerned. They went back to 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtKI0ooghp
looking at me like I had just said something stupid.822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryRnnt7Fps
“Is someone going to tell me what’s up or do I have to play the guess game?” I snapped, growing impatient. 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSdcwqAYCn
“We came into the ward 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2G7ezBGUli
and saw you seated on the bed with your eyes closed,” said Christine. 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPepBeCf8L
“When we called out to you, you didn’t respond. When we shook you, you 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZpeDu2PKd
didn’t do anything. You just sat there as though you were deep into 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPO88QM1wG
meditation. But when we touched your skin you were as cold as ice. So we822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JJFIooHGC
grew worried, calling your name and shaking you, but to no avail. We 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkb2tjTPwoy
almost called for the nurse until your eyes flew open.”822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPG5fS0bmD
I sighed out in 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XDmgpeELS
frustration as I buried my head into my hands. This was not happening. 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHsLTfP7Jl
What was going on? I had died this morning but somehow came back to 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSODqj7I674
life. And now, just trying to remember my death made me go into a dead 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHODDVINJud
state all over again.822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbe9jHVDfoQ
“Hey, are you okay?” Christine asked. “What happened to you?”822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCZMeqGhiq
I looked up at my 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHt8IoO2OcS
friends as they continued to stare down at me. I wasn’t quite sure 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTFHEXam5u
whether to tell them that they had been right all along about this 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsJJfBn68L
morning or just try to make up some excuse of a story. I finally decided822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAx2oEU2l2y
to tell them the truth. I wasn’t going to bear carrying this secret 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYY7hsfxCA
around with me for long, so I sat upright and took a deep breath.822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLl72Lt70H
“Okay, I’ll tell you,” I822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDbGfnuhC9
said, trying to build up my confidence. I closed my eyes and opened 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbvU10Xw2z
them. And before I could open my mouth to speak, something strange 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlWeX3uSoF
happened.822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnWRYzE4uz
A vision of the stranger822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUjn0QRM2W
in my dream had quickly appeared before my eyes. He still wore the same822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVDdtIGi1n
black cloak and hood. He had a knife in his hand. The same knife he had822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCqxnpZW2e
used to kill me. And it was all covered in blood and he was carrying 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDoyZ6L45x
something wrapped around his arm. A body all covered in blood.822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCv0OHHqlM
Christine’s body!822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BW75yaDmY
Was all of this a sign 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52qoyeUDz6
that I shouldn’t say anything? The vision had appeared out of nowhere, 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFfPKEUbcX
and that meant something. I swallowed hard as I quickly thought of what 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkB3AdTM04S
to say next.822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZg0WApGlc
“I felt like I was 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvNrmY63kV
coming down with something,” I lied. “I felt a little nauseous and I 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb992TRn3vF
tried sitting up on the bed hoping the feeling would go away.”822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7q00tkQeP
“But we called out to you a thousand times,” Amanda said. “Why didn’t you say anything?”822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaKNYuDWF6
“I fell asleep,” I answered. “You know sometimes I fall asleep while I sit upright. I do so in class.”822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIiU6j3TAQ
That was probably the 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpsTZFjROZ
worst lie I have ever uttered in my entire life. I don’t how know how 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDAOlnO6dY
those words came out of my mouth, but they did. I continued to look up 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vsTrC4ypK
at my friends and I prayed that they would believe what I had just said.822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiIrxHGW4E
I had to admit, what I had said was pretty cheeky. I wasn’t going to be822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLory57tMq
surprised if they didn’t believe me.822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScdOsaxd00
“Oh, thank goodness,” said Christine in relief, placing her hand over her chest. “For a moment you had us all worried.”822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8Wr5qqXGD
I quickly raised my left eyebrow. She believed that?822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbu8P3UqXQ
“Yes, me too,” said Amanda. “You shouldn’t scare us like that. What happened in the morning was more than enough.”822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡko3LgpUepo
“I was just feeling tired and sick, that’s all,” I said, as I pretended to yawn.822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡas5emnVfAx
“Okay, well the time we 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEzeYrUlVm
brought you here to the clinic the doctor attended to you and said 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1h79F3O7Fb
nothing was wrong with you, you just had low blood pressure,” Christine 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRoGSetd01
said.822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0UaaChTmp
“I thought I was coming down with malaria,” I said.822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUQ4gHstYo
“Well, I’m just glad 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvn3RZpIO1
you’re okay. Our dorm mates were really worried about you when you had 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLfeYMRWwd
fainted,” said Amanda. “They will be glad to see that you’re okay.”822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnw9dJLt9t
“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.”822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzems4m4ool
“Whoa, hold on right 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhvbqUdIyE
there!” Christine held my shoulders and pushed me back on the bed. “You 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxAd5jYkx6
are not going anywhere, my friend. The doctor said so.”822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEvaQQ3Vxt
“But why? I’m perfectly fine,” I whined.822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApOF7Ognon
“You need to run through822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fhkXjCILz
some checkups just in case this doesn’t become serious,” said Amanda. 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljh5yYO2K9
“Looks like you have to stay here until tomorrow.” 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMZWTjLckG
Tomorrow! The clinic was822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hwt39NKZp
the last place I wanted to stay in, and better yet, all alone without 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3oM2T3vHF
my friends. I soon started to think of the worst. What if the stranger 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKtUSf5CfX
came after me again? And this time, in real life chasing me around the 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlyy11One9
clinic with his deadly scythe? I swallowed hard as I imagined all of 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5PWK7snSn
that even happening.822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPDsY3dgXE
“I can’t stay here,” I continued to protest. “I’m perfectly fine. Tell the doctor to come and check up on me again.”822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEQf3kVMDk
“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.”822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIfAKjzl4U
“But all of this is 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SIQ8J5cLD
ridiculous. It’s just low blood pressure and you’re acting as though I 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhSWNG5Nd0
have AIDS,” I was getting rather impatient. “Or is there something 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnF4ALIjL3
you’re not telling me?”822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJgesM20Ov
“I don’t know, you have 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVFZxHQkkh
to ask the doctor that. He said you can’t go back to school until you’re822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qeeEcyQXF
perfectly fine,” said Christine. “You better ask him why.”822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOia8gnFVm
“Okay, where is he?” I quickly stood up, getting ready to see the doctor myself.822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4ZVMOm1ML
“He is busy with other patients at the moment,” said Christine. “You just have to wait and that will be like till evening.”822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAw4iIEgmla
I hate to admit it, but 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJXXqgJr0i
Christine was right. There were a number of patients who came into this 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CNzqS4c8v
hospital each and every day. And considering this place to be rural 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkU9Itw4qf
area, a lot of people were prone to capture some tropical diseases and 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrkMykxD1k
others. And there weren’t many doctors in the clinic to attend to all 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyp5PoTic1
those in need of treatment. I just had to be considerate enough and give822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIBfRh8BB2
the doctor some time until he checked up on me again. I just sat down 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRekvzHKrI7
on my bed in defeat.822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGF1BbWl9E
“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.”822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMosPZ6CoBj
“Speaking of class, the 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1P1SrvNUP
time for our break is almost up. We better leave,” said Amanda. “I don’t822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybxUEA3L2o
want to be late and end up on the offenders’ list.”822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPNpZ4r4UW
“You guys go ahead,” I said. “I will get your books tomorrow and copy the notes.”822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EpIzskYMO
“Alright, take care of yourself. We might come back in the evening to say goodnight,” said Christine.822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsz902sDdhA
“Okay,” I said dully as I822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MoxCTI3i0
lay down on the bed. It was going to be pretty boring without my 822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgXmhuwb2M
friends around and I sighed as they left the room. I was left completely822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAEuCvYsln
alone in the ward staring at the blank white ceiling above me.
