I finally remember.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpltlN4Q8Sx
My eyes quickly flew 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TcnK9bgo1
open as a sudden sense of familiarity came over me. I was at the school 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcKhuFfN6O
clinic and as I sat up on the bed, I realised that the ward was empty. 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXx3h70uVSe
The white coloured walls greeted me with warmth as the sun rays 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4XpSijPK2
reflecting through the windows gave the room a wonderful glow. As I took786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzVJaD1tAI
in the warmth, everything came back to me. I had fainted in the 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVklFVYVKYu
orchard. That wasn’t the only thing that I remembered. There was a whole786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygGGgChGgo
lot to it than I had realised.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9pYPZT7Bm
“I now remember,” I said aloud to the empty ward.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaHQJtkg08
Everything came back to 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80dJ1efDCB
me in flash like it had in the orchard when I saw the mysterious 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUIkZbv0ze
stranger who was standing behind Amanda. When I had looked at the 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeKY9hM4io
stranger, I finally remembered what had happened to me when those images786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjf7mpLYOm
came running into my mind. I now remember what had happened to me 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURQ1dRq8NQ
before I woke up this morning. I hated to say this to myself, but 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQPsRU9Hx7
Christine was right. Something was wrong with me and it had started all 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvfNh1lm3c
the way from the time I had failed to wake up this morning until now. As786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHw6qPhgzxJ
I tried to go through what I could recall from the images that had run 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6Lv0lHeHT
into my head earlier, I felt I was hit in the face with a reality check.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUsbFRabuI
I had died in my sleep.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6Hef4piQg
“You didn’t even budge at all. It was like you were dead or something.”786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KiPLAYqk9
“I was there when 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGd2VifJb7
Christine tried to wake you up. You didn’t even move an inch. You just 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPWSuH9ry1
laid there. And you looked, I don’t know, dead.”786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNwAwi2uEJ
I recalled what 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVq3AgAhmE
Christine and Amanda had told me earlier. They were right and what I 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCAuWWeLbS
could remember proved it all. I had died in my sleep and as far as I 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtV11YaKUhW
could remember, only one person knew why. The stranger who came to the 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51Wx8vAyon
orchard was the same person in my dreams. And surprisingly, the same 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DuKWpXrwN
stranger was the one who took my life.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMXKZcJGJo
I closed my eyes and 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60Ys1rm6d4
everything became clear as I remembered what had happened to me in my 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGSIShfHTi
dreams. Everything around me was empty and dark. I couldn’t even tell if786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAkubLGsO3
I was floating in the air in the deep void of nothingness or if I had 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPm3oMjK0wX
my feet planted to the floor. There was no sign of life, light or any 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcRDm6mBfj
object I could feel or grab onto. I was nowhere, in a place where things786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5GcWsfLye
never existed.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUJ8aesikw
Then, out of nowhere, 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3zO0CmKHB
something had appeared right before my eyes, a few feet away from me. 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUerRLNrcb
For a moment I couldn’t tell what it was because it was too dark and the786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEc7djYHSLM
same object that had appeared before seemed to be covered in a black 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKZMHZInvi
cloth that swirled around as if there was the presence of wind when it 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6G26SNWFsg
actually wasn’t there. I adjusted my eyes a little more to see more 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKga7L9nBSU
clearly. The object was kind of tall and before I could have realised it786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHjtS4E6Lq
sooner, the object that stood before me was a human being in a black 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZ9ttY2cQg
long cloak. And whoever it was was facing my direction looking at me. I 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WvpV763yR
couldn’t see eyes or even a face underneath the hood; it was dark, dark 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWnfKNy9cS
as the environment around us. For a moment, it seemed like we were just 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHisNEl9NIU
staring at each other until I got a feeling in me that this person in 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEF4pwOuOv
front of me was creeping me out. The air around us started to get cold 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFubRti6FQw
and each second that passed became colder and colder. At some point I 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74XSPpJ8tR
breathed out air and an icy cold mist escaped from my nostrils. It was 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOiUBxlgWE
definitely getting cold and it felt like I was stuck in a freezer. I 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1K7FAk1zYo
started to shiver so violently and when I looked at my hands, they were 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ojcIh1uAy
icy blue. My hands soon felt numb from the cold, so did my face and legs786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHELhooZ9ab
too. In a matter of minutes, my body had turned cold and blue. My body 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvYiJQImqo
had become numb with cold and at that moment, my legs gave way and I 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRS0SNlw5M
fell to the cold floor which had suddenly turned into a hard cold layer 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqPM6zOsye
of ice. I tried to move, but I was so still. The nerves in my body 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD184mIz4BQ
seemed to have frozen up too but it was a wonder how my brain was still 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6G7pJ16weN
functioning because I was completely aware of what was going on and I 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScc8FCoreC
could see the stranger in the dark cloak just staring back at me not 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLp4EaAzkaO
doing anything to help.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6fr0SPUtm
I tried moving my icy 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLz74oCOBGF
blue lips, but it was no use. I couldn’t even feel them. My lungs had 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ygtmY1n4n
stung with pain inside me and I was scared that they were going to stop 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeDfhZsIed
functioning right there and then. What kept my hopes up was the beating 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXTXg4Xvzf
of my heart; though I could hear every heart beat grow faint as the 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5MkkT6gfm
coldness in me took over. I continued to stare at the stranger in front 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxDZ1wuzyb
of me, praying that he could do something to help me.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZw9fQ9A72h
As though my thoughts 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF68KhcywkW
had finally been heard, the stranger took a step closer towards me. For a786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3a3JdHuq7
moment, I finally felt that everything was going to be alright and I 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEo3hN1HIu7
was going to be saved. When the stranger had finally come close enough 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsJzrAiC8f
to help, my eyes flew to the hood trying to see if I could see the 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa575E0bpL4
stranger’s face, but I still couldn’t see a thing. The stranger 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBORsgPtott
continued to look down at me and even though I couldn’t see any facial 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKM0RJZnrxI
features under the hood, I could feel the stranger’s eyes on me. When I 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAgYkJcjHX
had hoped that the stranger was going to help me, that hope was soon 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGm4NwMYTF
replaced with fear in an instant, even in the frozen state I was in. My 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA09N6488ve
eyes bulged out in fear and I prayed in my heart for at least my nerves 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjQxO4KtnI
to kick start again and I would be able to get away from this stranger 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhpFSE7Za3
who I didn’t even know.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuLINufAKK
As I continued to pray 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIMLNUFQTk
to myself, the stranger soon knelt to the floor on one knee and the fear786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ElWhRcC9A
in me almost ended my fading heart. The stranger quickly stretched out 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUkvr5OBfF
his hand and held my cold neck. I could feel the strong hand grip 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXZnNTAW8R
tightly around my neck and he was choking me out with the little air I 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXONbn2CSy
could take in my cold state. When the stranger slowly stood, he was 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTwsG8U3PN
dragging me upwards along with him. We were now staring at each other. I786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBrVz5YqcM
could still feel the stranger’s gaze on me because it felt like needles786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJyP1eSfId
were pierced into my eyes. I continued to stare back into the dark void786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00y864cVfh
under the hood feeling helpless. I wondered what this person was going 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCVkIi4ldK
to do to me.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuF5Nrzk0Y
Soon, a scythe appeared 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulgLgEOIP1
out of nowhere and it stood right beside the stranger in mid-air. The 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQ9tfnJARo
stranger took the scythe in his hand and in an instant, the scythe had 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4bi0scDet
transformed into a knife. My heart had started to beat faster than it 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxs31R3ADy
had when I had been frozen. I had to admit that I was scared and I tried786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoN3cChXqps
to scream for help, but it was no use. No one was here to help me and 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6Gx3GUzzR
this stranger in front of me seemed to have made up his mind about what 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnPAx7CmrM
he was going to do with me. At that moment, I prayed that all of what I 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8M8NqUIF0
was going through was just a bad dream.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8GsyxlVP4
I continued to stare at 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyI8KyJ9lXY
the stranger in front of me, with a knife in hand. The hand around my 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttUWesidcW
neck tightened with every defying moment. I thought the stranger would 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwQp2zv6Jw
have a final say before he drove that knife into me, but there was 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaMn9oCvd5
nothing but silence between us. With all of my might, and with all the 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRZOMlA8zy
pain and coldness inside of me, I had forced myself to speak:786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJK4C6fxCoo
“Plea…..please……do…..don’t do this,” cold mist escaped my lips as I spoke. “What wrong have I done to deserve this?”786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8LctfqDga
A cold deafening voice 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvYKKiIogo
echoed around me from the stranger who had held me captive, it was a 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1V7w5P0dtQ
voice that could have sent anyone running for their lives:786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SvuNUCRwc
“Your time has come, Diana. This is your destiny and how it all ends!”786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuudg3FSEB
Before I could say 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQxdaKr7EJ
anything else, the knife quickly drove through my chest and I had felt 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoLlv0HgKK
the piercing pain. Even though I was frozen I could feel the warm blood 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBw1EIuA4v1
flow out of my body and its coppery smell filled the air. I looked down 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhbH09zYyP
on my chest and I saw the red smear of blood staining my shirt. The 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Wz8FAgBhl
knife was quickly removed from my chest and the stranger drove it again,786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqN5nSSPDxb
this time into my stomach. This time I screamed out in endless pain and786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BFBNIDa9z
my scream echoed around the deep void. The stranger continued to stab 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kl9e1H0BZ
me in so many places and I was left in antagonising pain that I 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BK8RzMRZE
continued to scream until I reached a point where I couldn’t scream any 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcGbHORZ3C
longer. I was numb with pain.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjo8ef9TBX
My body soon felt limb 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECTLFPyM5K
and the next thing I knew I was on the floor and didn’t even know how I 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JfWBolKgV
had ended up down there. The stranger continued to look down at me as I 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ff4Pc4CQW
was bleeding out to death. I didn’t feel the pain anymore, though I 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjX72DK39Cw
could feel something was living my body slowly. Was it my soul, I had 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx92AGX4bru
wondered. My vision soon became blurry as images started flashing in my 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxGkkdioWA
mind. Were those my memories of the life I had once lived? At that 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXb8C7E52n
moment I couldn’t even think or tell what was real and what wasn’t. My 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmhV5CXcqo
brain was dying so as the rest of my body. I could really feel myself 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJ3VwuFTks
fading into who knows where.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkTVnincOV
The stranger soon turned786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GObEAxAJq
away from me with the knife in his hand which was covered in blood, in 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzK2nfVnx8C
my blood. As the stranger walked away, the knife in his hand soon turned786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFUpvxvQVC
back into a scythe and the darkness swallowed the stranger out of 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLbzjGZKRd
sight. 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhITPZuwIEV
And I was left in the darkness, in a pool of my own blood, as I breathed out my last. 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGTEmQk4UL
“Diana!”786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VJm7weMck
My eyes quickly flew 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hs2VcgtRI
open and for a moment, I was oblivious of my surrounding. I felt a hand 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGVoCGJvSl
on my shoulder and Christine stood right in front of me with Amanda 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKIiMonX7R
standing right behind her. They both had worried looks on their faces 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTLKpGMf6u
and I hoped it had nothing to do with me.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVOksz2Co7
“Why are you looking at me like that?” I asked.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5IQNUvwXc
“We were wondering if you were alright,” Christine answered.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlQCtbvnNt
“I’m fine as you can 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZy1G1Xrud
see. There is nothing to worry about,” I tried to sound as normal as 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhqzGy9Mhu
possible after what I had just remembered.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzRWyeDKK7
“It doesn’t seem that way to us,” Amanda said. The look on her face made me even more worried than they were.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtervd89kE
“What do you mean?” I raised my eyebrow.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAvPN64NKY
Amanda and Christine 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusEyVhHU7N
turned to look at each other, looking concerned. They went back to 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Xky1yjAh3
looking at me like I had just said something stupid.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOsMghGfFt
“Is someone going to tell me what’s up or do I have to play the guess game?” I snapped, growing impatient. 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgQiE0DVLO
“We came into the ward 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcteOXtgiho
and saw you seated on the bed with your eyes closed,” said Christine. 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSJfHiCTDr
“When we called out to you, you didn’t respond. When we shook you, you 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhcHphPPOp
didn’t do anything. You just sat there as though you were deep into 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpR0oZ1qViw
meditation. But when we touched your skin you were as cold as ice. So we786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FAujtnj8F
grew worried, calling your name and shaking you, but to no avail. We 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvZH1qNYuD
almost called for the nurse until your eyes flew open.”786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbvrUN7mPa
I sighed out in 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3OcUfli2n
frustration as I buried my head into my hands. This was not happening. 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57nnC14dwd
What was going on? I had died this morning but somehow came back to 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXcC1vAUTf
life. And now, just trying to remember my death made me go into a dead 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZT2K3zdGx
state all over again.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbSxgQqtW8
“Hey, are you okay?” Christine asked. “What happened to you?”786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBug27jutXO
I looked up at my 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6kSDLHGnZ
friends as they continued to stare down at me. I wasn’t quite sure 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2RqVkjDON
whether to tell them that they had been right all along about this 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQR5qNRLKE
morning or just try to make up some excuse of a story. I finally decided786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sPCAEbFsj
to tell them the truth. I wasn’t going to bear carrying this secret 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOeUzLnXB2
around with me for long, so I sat upright and took a deep breath.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01A01c0rUz
“Okay, I’ll tell you,” I786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1OL4REKxa
said, trying to build up my confidence. I closed my eyes and opened 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sHuwbHWmM
them. And before I could open my mouth to speak, something strange 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QgUAcEznM
happened.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiqeb7IjlQ
A vision of the stranger786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMirCxFgs12
in my dream had quickly appeared before my eyes. He still wore the same786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzl0O6vHbaO
black cloak and hood. He had a knife in his hand. The same knife he had786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVnHDxTlky
used to kill me. And it was all covered in blood and he was carrying 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSIFCxjuiP
something wrapped around his arm. A body all covered in blood.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG39Od1s2rZ
Christine’s body!786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvL4S0bAMC
Was all of this a sign 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsVqOrl6bY
that I shouldn’t say anything? The vision had appeared out of nowhere, 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSWOM9wlnp
and that meant something. I swallowed hard as I quickly thought of what 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYgfvYUuNf
to say next.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5WingWtMe
“I felt like I was 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8teDJs5cm
coming down with something,” I lied. “I felt a little nauseous and I 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5vf2cKjKC
tried sitting up on the bed hoping the feeling would go away.”786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJMRQ9me0w
“But we called out to you a thousand times,” Amanda said. “Why didn’t you say anything?”786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIQsIbUSXC
“I fell asleep,” I answered. “You know sometimes I fall asleep while I sit upright. I do so in class.”786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xrhpqlG7u
That was probably the 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagM8vFKa2k
worst lie I have ever uttered in my entire life. I don’t how know how 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1alRZNgXU3
those words came out of my mouth, but they did. I continued to look up 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxG9YEiYhj
at my friends and I prayed that they would believe what I had just said.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYdPDSBsTe
I had to admit, what I had said was pretty cheeky. I wasn’t going to be786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KpE89UJGi
surprised if they didn’t believe me.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaq9Khnhlr3
“Oh, thank goodness,” said Christine in relief, placing her hand over her chest. “For a moment you had us all worried.”786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAMysNjikB
I quickly raised my left eyebrow. She believed that?786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2mpJP6ecr
“Yes, me too,” said Amanda. “You shouldn’t scare us like that. What happened in the morning was more than enough.”786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jbzTgNcXC
“I was just feeling tired and sick, that’s all,” I said, as I pretended to yawn.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8p8TZKepgx
“Okay, well the time we 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFmHltOZFl
brought you here to the clinic the doctor attended to you and said 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TWtC0XYaY
nothing was wrong with you, you just had low blood pressure,” Christine 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4o1smQQcYJ
said.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGb9pciuwgt
“I thought I was coming down with malaria,” I said.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPTx1wnBPM
“Well, I’m just glad 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZUco1TVdP
you’re okay. Our dorm mates were really worried about you when you had 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlAVgIPyeE
fainted,” said Amanda. “They will be glad to see that you’re okay.”786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDPJv5NnK9
“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.”786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjXD2qw8dC
“Whoa, hold on right 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKY2ir5Gz9
there!” Christine held my shoulders and pushed me back on the bed. “You 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUifgm1o7X
are not going anywhere, my friend. The doctor said so.”786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXUKpNSzm4
“But why? I’m perfectly fine,” I whined.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipWOhNlTj7
“You need to run through786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFkHDXSLml
some checkups just in case this doesn’t become serious,” said Amanda. 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAu3qWWu6xn
“Looks like you have to stay here until tomorrow.” 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx22FtqdS1F
Tomorrow! The clinic was786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEFzKcjvyb
the last place I wanted to stay in, and better yet, all alone without 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqeSDCYUCz
my friends. I soon started to think of the worst. What if the stranger 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OEuFNB6BX
came after me again? And this time, in real life chasing me around the 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TDN4qV1bp
clinic with his deadly scythe? I swallowed hard as I imagined all of 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaYy6UDK9J
that even happening.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Zf9ymMUE5
“I can’t stay here,” I continued to protest. “I’m perfectly fine. Tell the doctor to come and check up on me again.”786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVDJfmZoE8
“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.”786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorHjXj6bZ5
“But all of this is 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3aaQx1JeE
ridiculous. It’s just low blood pressure and you’re acting as though I 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacKP3Iq92K
have AIDS,” I was getting rather impatient. “Or is there something 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5SAPMlIDZ
you’re not telling me?”786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGDQOv4qkO
“I don’t know, you have 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjymtjhDRO
to ask the doctor that. He said you can’t go back to school until you’re786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDL9N2ScHWQ
perfectly fine,” said Christine. “You better ask him why.”786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKo5NYH6lyc
“Okay, where is he?” I quickly stood up, getting ready to see the doctor myself.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlByFaVFAIY
“He is busy with other patients at the moment,” said Christine. “You just have to wait and that will be like till evening.”786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09VGEGmSWN
I hate to admit it, but 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCXnuPodH3
Christine was right. There were a number of patients who came into this 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnt40SZJXD
hospital each and every day. And considering this place to be rural 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBar0GazUn
area, a lot of people were prone to capture some tropical diseases and 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxwf0zBAvD
others. And there weren’t many doctors in the clinic to attend to all 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWbNPBhdu7
those in need of treatment. I just had to be considerate enough and give786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQwFthiuHp
the doctor some time until he checked up on me again. I just sat down 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdZoA2PaLO
on my bed in defeat.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwAJssbzx7
“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.”786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuecxtitDr
“Speaking of class, the 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1wa9E6Mh9
time for our break is almost up. We better leave,” said Amanda. “I don’t786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJOQhdWTb6
want to be late and end up on the offenders’ list.”786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eT0DBy4rE
“You guys go ahead,” I said. “I will get your books tomorrow and copy the notes.”786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOB4ulP4DoM
“Alright, take care of yourself. We might come back in the evening to say goodnight,” said Christine.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBPbdXcfg1
“Okay,” I said dully as I786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4W5yP83q5m
lay down on the bed. It was going to be pretty boring without my 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyo2Hzl6pG
friends around and I sighed as they left the room. I was left completely786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70b02JCkFc
alone in the ward staring at the blank white ceiling above me.
