I finally remember.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpXhhk9yBU
My eyes quickly flew 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvd60SyE7y4
open as a sudden sense of familiarity came over me. I was at the school 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VcT9WwP4y
clinic and as I sat up on the bed, I realised that the ward was empty. 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgjJHdlSnt
The white coloured walls greeted me with warmth as the sun rays 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHHxB3Hlnk
reflecting through the windows gave the room a wonderful glow. As I took846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCAvkbXb5m
in the warmth, everything came back to me. I had fainted in the 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbFk4rwZgf
orchard. That wasn’t the only thing that I remembered. There was a whole846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaNE8ort8E
lot to it than I had realised.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrx8A2upKnm
“I now remember,” I said aloud to the empty ward.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcO46QxRoC
Everything came back to 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡql9UFqhbhN
me in flash like it had in the orchard when I saw the mysterious 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTMiqB8DfN
stranger who was standing behind Amanda. When I had looked at the 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBvRWi0wIe
stranger, I finally remembered what had happened to me when those images846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmiDBzrIPe
came running into my mind. I now remember what had happened to me 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRt9aqJ1mX
before I woke up this morning. I hated to say this to myself, but 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJw9DArJPVB
Christine was right. Something was wrong with me and it had started all 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡts1pumEnYo
the way from the time I had failed to wake up this morning until now. As846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijvncwn1RV
I tried to go through what I could recall from the images that had run 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaW3L7Zxt9r
into my head earlier, I felt I was hit in the face with a reality check.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRybxpeP7df
I had died in my sleep.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXKNZqUKEY
“You didn’t even budge at all. It was like you were dead or something.”846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8H1sbJHQ05
“I was there when 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoonKwzffq
Christine tried to wake you up. You didn’t even move an inch. You just 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAFcYZjYFX
laid there. And you looked, I don’t know, dead.”846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJ5VCDiq0O
I recalled what 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn89QdNuQ2x
Christine and Amanda had told me earlier. They were right and what I 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwh1fZHTnVI
could remember proved it all. I had died in my sleep and as far as I 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqrDMjcnJs
could remember, only one person knew why. The stranger who came to the 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhZtuCtB6R
orchard was the same person in my dreams. And surprisingly, the same 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVE43Oi5tPK
stranger was the one who took my life.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoxM8YKuF8
I closed my eyes and 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0wfvISDRi
everything became clear as I remembered what had happened to me in my 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oQZWoD5kQ
dreams. Everything around me was empty and dark. I couldn’t even tell if846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMajUQizL0L
I was floating in the air in the deep void of nothingness or if I had 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jCyOKlasn
my feet planted to the floor. There was no sign of life, light or any 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaiNdTm2po
object I could feel or grab onto. I was nowhere, in a place where things846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRubilveDwd
never existed.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn89u4VZI0r
Then, out of nowhere, 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeCRlW72Hl
something had appeared right before my eyes, a few feet away from me. 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrGWE1btve
For a moment I couldn’t tell what it was because it was too dark and the846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9YdmO8Jzg
same object that had appeared before seemed to be covered in a black 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LD4kROPIT
cloth that swirled around as if there was the presence of wind when it 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XPt24NOCC
actually wasn’t there. I adjusted my eyes a little more to see more 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VBdjeh5DU
clearly. The object was kind of tall and before I could have realised it846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTppeCYkLnp
sooner, the object that stood before me was a human being in a black 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBMwd4SYli
long cloak. And whoever it was was facing my direction looking at me. I 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3fSHdlagl
couldn’t see eyes or even a face underneath the hood; it was dark, dark 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfM1fqfduC
as the environment around us. For a moment, it seemed like we were just 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRO6lMIq5i
staring at each other until I got a feeling in me that this person in 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVTOGgcz3P
front of me was creeping me out. The air around us started to get cold 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGsGeUHsMk
and each second that passed became colder and colder. At some point I 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7B33yioYTi
breathed out air and an icy cold mist escaped from my nostrils. It was 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqiyZjDdUv
definitely getting cold and it felt like I was stuck in a freezer. I 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWcBOfNN5Q
started to shiver so violently and when I looked at my hands, they were 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeZP9yVDgJ
icy blue. My hands soon felt numb from the cold, so did my face and legs846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPg2goN3JTt
too. In a matter of minutes, my body had turned cold and blue. My body 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkLGlOwR1H
had become numb with cold and at that moment, my legs gave way and I 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2MBhGYhcM
fell to the cold floor which had suddenly turned into a hard cold layer 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxWWOwa15g
of ice. I tried to move, but I was so still. The nerves in my body 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbbi1qlre1
seemed to have frozen up too but it was a wonder how my brain was still 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy18sZ3Vefw
functioning because I was completely aware of what was going on and I 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tc4KBzfP3
could see the stranger in the dark cloak just staring back at me not 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7qzjeR9Er
doing anything to help.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwK6MHMYAZv
I tried moving my icy 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00zUPj3bCm
blue lips, but it was no use. I couldn’t even feel them. My lungs had 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzzbMwzowM
stung with pain inside me and I was scared that they were going to stop 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyCEl6zjJg
functioning right there and then. What kept my hopes up was the beating 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBdgZrzOsv
of my heart; though I could hear every heart beat grow faint as the 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5nqPgZ60L
coldness in me took over. I continued to stare at the stranger in front 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WbggMWj1v
of me, praying that he could do something to help me.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqx4IVJOD5B
As though my thoughts 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaV31kS0XMp
had finally been heard, the stranger took a step closer towards me. For a846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1I8IoMGfH
moment, I finally felt that everything was going to be alright and I 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7eOpayOEI
was going to be saved. When the stranger had finally come close enough 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HzkVBjSkd
to help, my eyes flew to the hood trying to see if I could see the 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjEddQgCfd
stranger’s face, but I still couldn’t see a thing. The stranger 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxSt6MQYDu
continued to look down at me and even though I couldn’t see any facial 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kxMeWIKOo
features under the hood, I could feel the stranger’s eyes on me. When I 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHgyPb6IJu
had hoped that the stranger was going to help me, that hope was soon 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitwtAf8Smr
replaced with fear in an instant, even in the frozen state I was in. My 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIv5sBTktAG
eyes bulged out in fear and I prayed in my heart for at least my nerves 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUjkUwtMgS
to kick start again and I would be able to get away from this stranger 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV34wbLTpdH
who I didn’t even know.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM005aQyMG7
As I continued to pray 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWssl70CpJ
to myself, the stranger soon knelt to the floor on one knee and the fear846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2AG1MfZ06
in me almost ended my fading heart. The stranger quickly stretched out 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP36EKxb1Xq
his hand and held my cold neck. I could feel the strong hand grip 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPcuQlOJyR
tightly around my neck and he was choking me out with the little air I 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1Lj68KgRg
could take in my cold state. When the stranger slowly stood, he was 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNelrBC1Ix7
dragging me upwards along with him. We were now staring at each other. I846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xjjBq2GpX
could still feel the stranger’s gaze on me because it felt like needles846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuZ9Ngctjg
were pierced into my eyes. I continued to stare back into the dark void846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA80tjigRvl
under the hood feeling helpless. I wondered what this person was going 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlpVcBFM8P
to do to me.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnLA0XUMog
Soon, a scythe appeared 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JMrqDtVpC
out of nowhere and it stood right beside the stranger in mid-air. The 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJKv8mHNWt
stranger took the scythe in his hand and in an instant, the scythe had 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcntAH4bleN
transformed into a knife. My heart had started to beat faster than it 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkT0Z1ak46
had when I had been frozen. I had to admit that I was scared and I tried846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2CV4otXbK
to scream for help, but it was no use. No one was here to help me and 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsIydxTehk
this stranger in front of me seemed to have made up his mind about what 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLqNJVULSJ
he was going to do with me. At that moment, I prayed that all of what I 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsWFhkvW4d
was going through was just a bad dream.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRtFVJx5hu
I continued to stare at 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBPY2bcuIN
the stranger in front of me, with a knife in hand. The hand around my 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTIa5xzy9r
neck tightened with every defying moment. I thought the stranger would 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡungK96yfBa
have a final say before he drove that knife into me, but there was 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrDf5oyQQ5
nothing but silence between us. With all of my might, and with all the 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrm0m9mhKNv
pain and coldness inside of me, I had forced myself to speak:846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOPMWlXEtP
“Plea…..please……do…..don’t do this,” cold mist escaped my lips as I spoke. “What wrong have I done to deserve this?”846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnW7GvLewlF
A cold deafening voice 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYoAzWcDNw
echoed around me from the stranger who had held me captive, it was a 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXhtbutJVu
voice that could have sent anyone running for their lives:846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7dO1DoXRH
“Your time has come, Diana. This is your destiny and how it all ends!”846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzu69xRFfCG
Before I could say 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1MzTiLTiR
anything else, the knife quickly drove through my chest and I had felt 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqMnBiXeMd
the piercing pain. Even though I was frozen I could feel the warm blood 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CKu6W5GgG
flow out of my body and its coppery smell filled the air. I looked down 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kZYLoUdGW
on my chest and I saw the red smear of blood staining my shirt. The 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wcoIRGVxM
knife was quickly removed from my chest and the stranger drove it again,846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01TQnga4dW
this time into my stomach. This time I screamed out in endless pain and846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsM2wPAYFRX
my scream echoed around the deep void. The stranger continued to stab 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPLNpTjMBl
me in so many places and I was left in antagonising pain that I 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVEKK58JZb
continued to scream until I reached a point where I couldn’t scream any 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolYGh8amrV
longer. I was numb with pain.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHMCoruC4X
My body soon felt limb 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqO1apawlyN
and the next thing I knew I was on the floor and didn’t even know how I 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSi0mclystd
had ended up down there. The stranger continued to look down at me as I 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncV0MTXJFA
was bleeding out to death. I didn’t feel the pain anymore, though I 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQrIl5dh4A
could feel something was living my body slowly. Was it my soul, I had 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUOi5Xi0G0
wondered. My vision soon became blurry as images started flashing in my 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUrvGf86xs
mind. Were those my memories of the life I had once lived? At that 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJIF1oXMTs
moment I couldn’t even think or tell what was real and what wasn’t. My 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2DZWvDFOO
brain was dying so as the rest of my body. I could really feel myself 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42rNAiRpM2
fading into who knows where.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfqff7PDLG
The stranger soon turned846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjm3EOP05xt
away from me with the knife in his hand which was covered in blood, in 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsnnMVhUcL
my blood. As the stranger walked away, the knife in his hand soon turned846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxE25elxzRE
back into a scythe and the darkness swallowed the stranger out of 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnFzvDBEp3
sight. 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8weLhElgug
And I was left in the darkness, in a pool of my own blood, as I breathed out my last. 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IeBvxttlQ
“Diana!”846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdgLeqh77h
My eyes quickly flew 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVw6mZ1r9Dh
open and for a moment, I was oblivious of my surrounding. I felt a hand 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5nhsdnkvU
on my shoulder and Christine stood right in front of me with Amanda 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iWAoEOzHh
standing right behind her. They both had worried looks on their faces 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRN14WlECh
and I hoped it had nothing to do with me.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8gA2zX8Mb
“Why are you looking at me like that?” I asked.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1kIeMwhzY
“We were wondering if you were alright,” Christine answered.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg06ZCTeiqF
“I’m fine as you can 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlToZIFuXf4
see. There is nothing to worry about,” I tried to sound as normal as 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo635vF8Rqb
possible after what I had just remembered.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMIBorem5a
“It doesn’t seem that way to us,” Amanda said. The look on her face made me even more worried than they were.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMiliL3WJT
“What do you mean?” I raised my eyebrow.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTOoGPfXxt
Amanda and Christine 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDbO2OXo6c
turned to look at each other, looking concerned. They went back to 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFunDyOnZw
looking at me like I had just said something stupid.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTRCzVH1N8
“Is someone going to tell me what’s up or do I have to play the guess game?” I snapped, growing impatient. 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfL9wvh68bH
“We came into the ward 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7Vq1tuXml
and saw you seated on the bed with your eyes closed,” said Christine. 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwBT4rPOEF
“When we called out to you, you didn’t respond. When we shook you, you 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Eo7dsmCub
didn’t do anything. You just sat there as though you were deep into 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlpT064Tcf
meditation. But when we touched your skin you were as cold as ice. So we846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriahI4lKTo
grew worried, calling your name and shaking you, but to no avail. We 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeXVOmvyw2
almost called for the nurse until your eyes flew open.”846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0x5OoRP45L
I sighed out in 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpw6xeaG9xm
frustration as I buried my head into my hands. This was not happening. 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkFrfNAYwf
What was going on? I had died this morning but somehow came back to 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4nkx93GCQ
life. And now, just trying to remember my death made me go into a dead 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hVW0Hj7hr
state all over again.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL87wXgOfuT
“Hey, are you okay?” Christine asked. “What happened to you?”846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkRfq4L0tJ
I looked up at my 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mbDFi31WK
friends as they continued to stare down at me. I wasn’t quite sure 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJuWTZjYum
whether to tell them that they had been right all along about this 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQP72tlsRC
morning or just try to make up some excuse of a story. I finally decided846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxyMjyifaX
to tell them the truth. I wasn’t going to bear carrying this secret 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2Kpa5rH6M
around with me for long, so I sat upright and took a deep breath.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSqSpvKkiU
“Okay, I’ll tell you,” I846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPshRzKldzN
said, trying to build up my confidence. I closed my eyes and opened 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMARsPa624V
them. And before I could open my mouth to speak, something strange 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DhGbVsGNo
happened.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxLTkKMQsY
A vision of the stranger846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbl2mjRiPg0
in my dream had quickly appeared before my eyes. He still wore the same846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLFbgC5ErV
black cloak and hood. He had a knife in his hand. The same knife he had846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK01suGr61k
used to kill me. And it was all covered in blood and he was carrying 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHO6erkV5O2
something wrapped around his arm. A body all covered in blood.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAOHzpOWI5
Christine’s body!846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirg0LDPU0w
Was all of this a sign 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsH9Xh2UR1
that I shouldn’t say anything? The vision had appeared out of nowhere, 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchwgWClV1a
and that meant something. I swallowed hard as I quickly thought of what 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWj4P7OvTb
to say next.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OTFclffjN
“I felt like I was 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AfguItNg5
coming down with something,” I lied. “I felt a little nauseous and I 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡni3mpPjRXZ
tried sitting up on the bed hoping the feeling would go away.”846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhbO2H7Eqp
“But we called out to you a thousand times,” Amanda said. “Why didn’t you say anything?”846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCXLhI78u8
“I fell asleep,” I answered. “You know sometimes I fall asleep while I sit upright. I do so in class.”846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcmnzrHjLu
That was probably the 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iUKZ9yOAm
worst lie I have ever uttered in my entire life. I don’t how know how 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3SsOYnnEa
those words came out of my mouth, but they did. I continued to look up 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQHJmExKc9
at my friends and I prayed that they would believe what I had just said.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmq6WCnoxgw
I had to admit, what I had said was pretty cheeky. I wasn’t going to be846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DnRwSYOgl
surprised if they didn’t believe me.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxpAUNbVd5
“Oh, thank goodness,” said Christine in relief, placing her hand over her chest. “For a moment you had us all worried.”846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZStTy4kcDK
I quickly raised my left eyebrow. She believed that?846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AncIzdRCC
“Yes, me too,” said Amanda. “You shouldn’t scare us like that. What happened in the morning was more than enough.”846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuT2QsRaSEK
“I was just feeling tired and sick, that’s all,” I said, as I pretended to yawn.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMdDnlvcip
“Okay, well the time we 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPSfkLmXAc
brought you here to the clinic the doctor attended to you and said 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qho4F3K7X
nothing was wrong with you, you just had low blood pressure,” Christine 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SpfW7iiwU
said.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8A5ZXYuviF
“I thought I was coming down with malaria,” I said.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0PhS9Oud8
“Well, I’m just glad 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztCVB0Ix9C
you’re okay. Our dorm mates were really worried about you when you had 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdreGSsvsB
fainted,” said Amanda. “They will be glad to see that you’re okay.”846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVEtFpgpas
“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.”846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UMHnnxnwU
“Whoa, hold on right 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdiwjmhym5
there!” Christine held my shoulders and pushed me back on the bed. “You 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnbhX4h17G
are not going anywhere, my friend. The doctor said so.”846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08xzV2SZbN
“But why? I’m perfectly fine,” I whined.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZ0EB0UiQr
“You need to run through846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiBW1r0hsp
some checkups just in case this doesn’t become serious,” said Amanda. 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVKLDEqrCL
“Looks like you have to stay here until tomorrow.” 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYhYTGMGGK
Tomorrow! The clinic was846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTTCb45Drw
the last place I wanted to stay in, and better yet, all alone without 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KizVwUPqc
my friends. I soon started to think of the worst. What if the stranger 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9c1YgBcnj
came after me again? And this time, in real life chasing me around the 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdHjzZrdRF
clinic with his deadly scythe? I swallowed hard as I imagined all of 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8Z2ICAs1O
that even happening.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXoG0JevJR
“I can’t stay here,” I continued to protest. “I’m perfectly fine. Tell the doctor to come and check up on me again.”846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyXyW62rKD
“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.”846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9uuuz1PIN
“But all of this is 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArF19dWGqU
ridiculous. It’s just low blood pressure and you’re acting as though I 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoS8qc9wIA
have AIDS,” I was getting rather impatient. “Or is there something 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRqygBFPRH
you’re not telling me?”846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJxJwizP1D
“I don’t know, you have 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BvJpsLseY
to ask the doctor that. He said you can’t go back to school until you’re846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwi13l0Q41g
perfectly fine,” said Christine. “You better ask him why.”846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaJRjZGse8
“Okay, where is he?” I quickly stood up, getting ready to see the doctor myself.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYfSuO3lTJ
“He is busy with other patients at the moment,” said Christine. “You just have to wait and that will be like till evening.”846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzgjXGrglY
I hate to admit it, but 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9oZlZiH0J
Christine was right. There were a number of patients who came into this 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRBRc3boRq
hospital each and every day. And considering this place to be rural 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtFS3zrmYP
area, a lot of people were prone to capture some tropical diseases and 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi44Ch7GYL7
others. And there weren’t many doctors in the clinic to attend to all 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2aDOEJnHc
those in need of treatment. I just had to be considerate enough and give846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclfosP36L3
the doctor some time until he checked up on me again. I just sat down 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2Tr8GSxfs
on my bed in defeat.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvfNAXhgPY
“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.”846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkksk02IR0K
“Speaking of class, the 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bQodxpku3
time for our break is almost up. We better leave,” said Amanda. “I don’t846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXDv6sctSc
want to be late and end up on the offenders’ list.”846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8B7JehPKx
“You guys go ahead,” I said. “I will get your books tomorrow and copy the notes.”846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFBTBBm1ll
“Alright, take care of yourself. We might come back in the evening to say goodnight,” said Christine.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSheLGjdc4
“Okay,” I said dully as I846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3Vm5CjrZR
lay down on the bed. It was going to be pretty boring without my 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxwJ3cFRrU
friends around and I sighed as they left the room. I was left completely846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYB0KwgBLI
alone in the ward staring at the blank white ceiling above me.
