I finally remember.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZIyIs8UmD
My eyes quickly flew 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0HVcVqGx4
open as a sudden sense of familiarity came over me. I was at the school 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dX8rTQmz7
clinic and as I sat up on the bed, I realised that the ward was empty. 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaq05N8opzj
The white coloured walls greeted me with warmth as the sun rays 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIloAVK7gW4
reflecting through the windows gave the room a wonderful glow. As I took734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROknd3Awou
in the warmth, everything came back to me. I had fainted in the 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiUN1WDo3i
orchard. That wasn’t the only thing that I remembered. There was a whole734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhR98jNeOl
lot to it than I had realised.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeD3QergZXq
“I now remember,” I said aloud to the empty ward.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQImeLyqkr6
Everything came back to 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pjPalKey5
me in flash like it had in the orchard when I saw the mysterious 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMnm0iwnCV
stranger who was standing behind Amanda. When I had looked at the 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yNNVuOfNR
stranger, I finally remembered what had happened to me when those images734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0358jOdOi
came running into my mind. I now remember what had happened to me 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXf0WvDfPtc
before I woke up this morning. I hated to say this to myself, but 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72yBVIGOuA
Christine was right. Something was wrong with me and it had started all 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3KHEWE7zN
the way from the time I had failed to wake up this morning until now. As734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCx8gVuA50
I tried to go through what I could recall from the images that had run 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1DENvnXII
into my head earlier, I felt I was hit in the face with a reality check.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZxoPZLxnG
I had died in my sleep.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7M4UxbucD
“You didn’t even budge at all. It was like you were dead or something.”734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVg0Co8PTUB
“I was there when 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tZsbFVe1j
Christine tried to wake you up. You didn’t even move an inch. You just 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PTNOF705j
laid there. And you looked, I don’t know, dead.”734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlWsEBhgkj
I recalled what 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1nN2RzkrW
Christine and Amanda had told me earlier. They were right and what I 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEXQdNgjOK
could remember proved it all. I had died in my sleep and as far as I 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLt60rfGcQ
could remember, only one person knew why. The stranger who came to the 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3PAC3Kkeu
orchard was the same person in my dreams. And surprisingly, the same 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIK5AYcsIRp
stranger was the one who took my life.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzVgaiJAU1
I closed my eyes and 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuumdgqAj7b
everything became clear as I remembered what had happened to me in my 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDkVjkS8gk
dreams. Everything around me was empty and dark. I couldn’t even tell if734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5Bgmkrs1A
I was floating in the air in the deep void of nothingness or if I had 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREF2sinXYg
my feet planted to the floor. There was no sign of life, light or any 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwRqVoW9jc
object I could feel or grab onto. I was nowhere, in a place where things734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3t07dNg3Q
never existed.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfuPeJP2XC
Then, out of nowhere, 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkz5Su7nQRG
something had appeared right before my eyes, a few feet away from me. 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCi7JmhoNz
For a moment I couldn’t tell what it was because it was too dark and the734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqI61ePuXPg
same object that had appeared before seemed to be covered in a black 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mH0fI0RNe
cloth that swirled around as if there was the presence of wind when it 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2Ehq39jFD
actually wasn’t there. I adjusted my eyes a little more to see more 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkGW24gFKf
clearly. The object was kind of tall and before I could have realised it734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcn7mce3YrR
sooner, the object that stood before me was a human being in a black 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFFIG9sLu0
long cloak. And whoever it was was facing my direction looking at me. I 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQ7M1ZlW7O
couldn’t see eyes or even a face underneath the hood; it was dark, dark 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjeKbmDwYX
as the environment around us. For a moment, it seemed like we were just 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyfzW9ZxUf
staring at each other until I got a feeling in me that this person in 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2601TRis9
front of me was creeping me out. The air around us started to get cold 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjLYabFpcy
and each second that passed became colder and colder. At some point I 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnUMZsa9kx
breathed out air and an icy cold mist escaped from my nostrils. It was 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7EMHgYI6L
definitely getting cold and it felt like I was stuck in a freezer. I 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmmYoOUgJ5
started to shiver so violently and when I looked at my hands, they were 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBDVmPDoIT
icy blue. My hands soon felt numb from the cold, so did my face and legs734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWiSAPBFPK
too. In a matter of minutes, my body had turned cold and blue. My body 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUR7K9UokQt
had become numb with cold and at that moment, my legs gave way and I 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9Z5CkB8pN
fell to the cold floor which had suddenly turned into a hard cold layer 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjw5b3fch9
of ice. I tried to move, but I was so still. The nerves in my body 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQS87rKKPy
seemed to have frozen up too but it was a wonder how my brain was still 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwUjuf9yTw
functioning because I was completely aware of what was going on and I 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvb1Q2WQPB9
could see the stranger in the dark cloak just staring back at me not 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsGGmuUASL
doing anything to help.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQE3HNnHboK
I tried moving my icy 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QnbmvLok1
blue lips, but it was no use. I couldn’t even feel them. My lungs had 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVzF54H1JQ
stung with pain inside me and I was scared that they were going to stop 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65eZUu3wVw
functioning right there and then. What kept my hopes up was the beating 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQgaV8NGMG
of my heart; though I could hear every heart beat grow faint as the 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzjarQoCkI
coldness in me took over. I continued to stare at the stranger in front 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHn4EohY6GJ
of me, praying that he could do something to help me.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFKDjb5BRG
As though my thoughts 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLnqUDecfb
had finally been heard, the stranger took a step closer towards me. For a734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iMdlpTDLc
moment, I finally felt that everything was going to be alright and I 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyKbB0Nlj7
was going to be saved. When the stranger had finally come close enough 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASALMYdN0c
to help, my eyes flew to the hood trying to see if I could see the 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VXcqXVGVD
stranger’s face, but I still couldn’t see a thing. The stranger 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSTaEp8Xgh
continued to look down at me and even though I couldn’t see any facial 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2x0B6lHNoD
features under the hood, I could feel the stranger’s eyes on me. When I 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjU8aHcBpJ0
had hoped that the stranger was going to help me, that hope was soon 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBK73ndCNq9
replaced with fear in an instant, even in the frozen state I was in. My 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6YzO9UWOO
eyes bulged out in fear and I prayed in my heart for at least my nerves 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeorgpcYdo
to kick start again and I would be able to get away from this stranger 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGd8xHtlXC1
who I didn’t even know.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxCdMErJFe
As I continued to pray 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB65vPn7DbM
to myself, the stranger soon knelt to the floor on one knee and the fear734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7852M9U3X
in me almost ended my fading heart. The stranger quickly stretched out 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeq0opitB5K
his hand and held my cold neck. I could feel the strong hand grip 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmO8aoAl5kH
tightly around my neck and he was choking me out with the little air I 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcqyrmD8sf
could take in my cold state. When the stranger slowly stood, he was 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSwg2buYMM
dragging me upwards along with him. We were now staring at each other. I734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQjdb4YqUA
could still feel the stranger’s gaze on me because it felt like needles734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQWEVgINFD
were pierced into my eyes. I continued to stare back into the dark void734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYv7ES4CZs
under the hood feeling helpless. I wondered what this person was going 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfe8F538lOZ
to do to me.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPSCMmuArn
Soon, a scythe appeared 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUOhW8x0ti
out of nowhere and it stood right beside the stranger in mid-air. The 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3xTOgvhQ0
stranger took the scythe in his hand and in an instant, the scythe had 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxXmaCuNkL
transformed into a knife. My heart had started to beat faster than it 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8x6sI9ANbD
had when I had been frozen. I had to admit that I was scared and I tried734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRWXMHX7W4
to scream for help, but it was no use. No one was here to help me and 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEvgpFLLem
this stranger in front of me seemed to have made up his mind about what 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxitGse9xw
he was going to do with me. At that moment, I prayed that all of what I 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85nYfYILon
was going through was just a bad dream.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNOWlh9YN3
I continued to stare at 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdiLZjlQGO
the stranger in front of me, with a knife in hand. The hand around my 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3drHpcsEl
neck tightened with every defying moment. I thought the stranger would 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTYpcTxn8g
have a final say before he drove that knife into me, but there was 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDt5LYho2Xb
nothing but silence between us. With all of my might, and with all the 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1elFRoJRU
pain and coldness inside of me, I had forced myself to speak:734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyKQR2Wq1t
“Plea…..please……do…..don’t do this,” cold mist escaped my lips as I spoke. “What wrong have I done to deserve this?”734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhQBQq1tpG
A cold deafening voice 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Mlb0sYBYo
echoed around me from the stranger who had held me captive, it was a 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZBqxbfowj
voice that could have sent anyone running for their lives:734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWP72Rfj9r
“Your time has come, Diana. This is your destiny and how it all ends!”734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZLp3ONQ5P
Before I could say 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnMWD8Fll8
anything else, the knife quickly drove through my chest and I had felt 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfRTtpveXt
the piercing pain. Even though I was frozen I could feel the warm blood 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvHi3Lp9xV
flow out of my body and its coppery smell filled the air. I looked down 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWYVEM1PAE
on my chest and I saw the red smear of blood staining my shirt. The 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLb3jn1Uwm
knife was quickly removed from my chest and the stranger drove it again,734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNhY4mqh1y
this time into my stomach. This time I screamed out in endless pain and734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53JcQ6P9kM
my scream echoed around the deep void. The stranger continued to stab 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8MQPicgmd
me in so many places and I was left in antagonising pain that I 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tMbDxx9p3
continued to scream until I reached a point where I couldn’t scream any 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfS4uulJIhs
longer. I was numb with pain.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnw9KSZ9l6Z
My body soon felt limb 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYMb0DqCrg
and the next thing I knew I was on the floor and didn’t even know how I 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGb1djH7BX
had ended up down there. The stranger continued to look down at me as I 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XnmUvRJUx
was bleeding out to death. I didn’t feel the pain anymore, though I 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCXq6V7xxo
could feel something was living my body slowly. Was it my soul, I had 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHFx7hPEiP
wondered. My vision soon became blurry as images started flashing in my 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKwq5hD5aJ
mind. Were those my memories of the life I had once lived? At that 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzz4xRIv1r
moment I couldn’t even think or tell what was real and what wasn’t. My 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1zSq8I2Tm
brain was dying so as the rest of my body. I could really feel myself 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMioo66eRP
fading into who knows where.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppRmpjma7H
The stranger soon turned734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITCLS3tA2v
away from me with the knife in his hand which was covered in blood, in 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmvEdBZanj
my blood. As the stranger walked away, the knife in his hand soon turned734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2lmD4w8IV
back into a scythe and the darkness swallowed the stranger out of 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhBLnjC1Ey
sight. 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmX8B0XXoFk
And I was left in the darkness, in a pool of my own blood, as I breathed out my last. 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0oVXv9IeQ
“Diana!”734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HlVk0MgyQ
My eyes quickly flew 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnrmUQAkKi
open and for a moment, I was oblivious of my surrounding. I felt a hand 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNIBedbbik
on my shoulder and Christine stood right in front of me with Amanda 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITMMG0BOjQ
standing right behind her. They both had worried looks on their faces 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWRuUulnzF
and I hoped it had nothing to do with me.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgsuLNQvXV
“Why are you looking at me like that?” I asked.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhStCQ6SECf
“We were wondering if you were alright,” Christine answered.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArVl5S6mZt
“I’m fine as you can 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKjKbjdPXJ
see. There is nothing to worry about,” I tried to sound as normal as 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxp31qP4u8t
possible after what I had just remembered.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTaAAnLNJT
“It doesn’t seem that way to us,” Amanda said. The look on her face made me even more worried than they were.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDLANhBvA0
“What do you mean?” I raised my eyebrow.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVn5Rdkx2C3
Amanda and Christine 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0whbLDqGxD
turned to look at each other, looking concerned. They went back to 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPSeicrBWc
looking at me like I had just said something stupid.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqFuHM7syM
“Is someone going to tell me what’s up or do I have to play the guess game?” I snapped, growing impatient. 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16tcrF56oO
“We came into the ward 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHlY6ihPXd
and saw you seated on the bed with your eyes closed,” said Christine. 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhuJ0CzZJi
“When we called out to you, you didn’t respond. When we shook you, you 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8J5QThT7ti
didn’t do anything. You just sat there as though you were deep into 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61U9T0Aqv1
meditation. But when we touched your skin you were as cold as ice. So we734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVQZBzvo9z
grew worried, calling your name and shaking you, but to no avail. We 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvflfR5nESL
almost called for the nurse until your eyes flew open.”734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvQc0BdKjE
I sighed out in 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjNLzbZgZS
frustration as I buried my head into my hands. This was not happening. 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ528of6MNOQ
What was going on? I had died this morning but somehow came back to 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhJRufM47L
life. And now, just trying to remember my death made me go into a dead 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4atOnGdM9d
state all over again.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrOXZzTFy0
“Hey, are you okay?” Christine asked. “What happened to you?”734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnq3AY47JKr
I looked up at my 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6HM8N4927
friends as they continued to stare down at me. I wasn’t quite sure 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4j0gBSHj2
whether to tell them that they had been right all along about this 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpE5BMSiS1p
morning or just try to make up some excuse of a story. I finally decided734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7202sJk8ED
to tell them the truth. I wasn’t going to bear carrying this secret 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfUkW17gRj
around with me for long, so I sat upright and took a deep breath.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjXTauEguk
“Okay, I’ll tell you,” I734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBta6a4QiB
said, trying to build up my confidence. I closed my eyes and opened 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHGbLb29WQ
them. And before I could open my mouth to speak, something strange 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGziYb7gri
happened.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LdWhGMlxb
A vision of the stranger734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzUahV0WPU
in my dream had quickly appeared before my eyes. He still wore the same734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBdNRqTeyk
black cloak and hood. He had a knife in his hand. The same knife he had734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsMxDjaXtm
used to kill me. And it was all covered in blood and he was carrying 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RP8QjFxsh
something wrapped around his arm. A body all covered in blood.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZH5fiiXSVk
Christine’s body!734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmZ8JowXnR
Was all of this a sign 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwkg42B6yA
that I shouldn’t say anything? The vision had appeared out of nowhere, 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4ff2ysFcs
and that meant something. I swallowed hard as I quickly thought of what 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnRNCIulRV
to say next.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2a6zT49GF
“I felt like I was 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cqtrXPt13
coming down with something,” I lied. “I felt a little nauseous and I 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMW935tPmw
tried sitting up on the bed hoping the feeling would go away.”734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ubDmrqClN
“But we called out to you a thousand times,” Amanda said. “Why didn’t you say anything?”734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5vGqtDHUb
“I fell asleep,” I answered. “You know sometimes I fall asleep while I sit upright. I do so in class.”734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67MDsA8y5n
That was probably the 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKc1F9YiWjl
worst lie I have ever uttered in my entire life. I don’t how know how 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPBAdEuHfh
those words came out of my mouth, but they did. I continued to look up 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN396kIFJDd
at my friends and I prayed that they would believe what I had just said.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPXkNUCK5o
I had to admit, what I had said was pretty cheeky. I wasn’t going to be734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrZkLXm0vD
surprised if they didn’t believe me.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStoPBHu4ej
“Oh, thank goodness,” said Christine in relief, placing her hand over her chest. “For a moment you had us all worried.”734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4dFjIKloi
I quickly raised my left eyebrow. She believed that?734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDm4VtmUFf
“Yes, me too,” said Amanda. “You shouldn’t scare us like that. What happened in the morning was more than enough.”734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DKRXXe2Vp
“I was just feeling tired and sick, that’s all,” I said, as I pretended to yawn.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0J756gKJQh
“Okay, well the time we 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVftiaTWC9y
brought you here to the clinic the doctor attended to you and said 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeDoOBSA9K
nothing was wrong with you, you just had low blood pressure,” Christine 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5kxz38GYX
said.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflezY9oEHr
“I thought I was coming down with malaria,” I said.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEKFgsWeOJ
“Well, I’m just glad 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡim1Nc9LIjn
you’re okay. Our dorm mates were really worried about you when you had 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCF6VhUY9R4
fainted,” said Amanda. “They will be glad to see that you’re okay.”734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3QTwOc0qY
“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.”734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesxkxX0ymi
“Whoa, hold on right 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HvSFsooR1
there!” Christine held my shoulders and pushed me back on the bed. “You 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl936D9leIe
are not going anywhere, my friend. The doctor said so.”734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHd4XMjCG1
“But why? I’m perfectly fine,” I whined.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaU247eGlyi
“You need to run through734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfT2cJmVho
some checkups just in case this doesn’t become serious,” said Amanda. 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ92XCpWwd1
“Looks like you have to stay here until tomorrow.” 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi44uVzff9x
Tomorrow! The clinic was734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqDbfTZl6C
the last place I wanted to stay in, and better yet, all alone without 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJnutsJyv6
my friends. I soon started to think of the worst. What if the stranger 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEUAaBCj51
came after me again? And this time, in real life chasing me around the 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuDw2jqLqO
clinic with his deadly scythe? I swallowed hard as I imagined all of 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvAYYm3vP2
that even happening.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmj3m8rABs
“I can’t stay here,” I continued to protest. “I’m perfectly fine. Tell the doctor to come and check up on me again.”734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0UkcOeuCc
“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.”734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNaVmFFZHo
“But all of this is 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6M0nrj6j8
ridiculous. It’s just low blood pressure and you’re acting as though I 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmozOZMfCNa
have AIDS,” I was getting rather impatient. “Or is there something 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6hkBBirbR
you’re not telling me?”734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimHd9nihik
“I don’t know, you have 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNr2Z3hPwzf

perfectly fine,” said Christine. “You better ask him why.”734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GPc06pw4K
“Okay, where is he?” I quickly stood up, getting ready to see the doctor myself.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7emfnodK2
“He is busy with other patients at the moment,” said Christine. “You just have to wait and that will be like till evening.”734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWZv5wYnMB
I hate to admit it, but 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhNhEEGhcl
Christine was right. There were a number of patients who came into this 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JdUB7s5pd
hospital each and every day. And considering this place to be rural 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYauSdxwib
area, a lot of people were prone to capture some tropical diseases and 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LmxsrAvcf
others. And there weren’t many doctors in the clinic to attend to all 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalVGilJicK

the doctor some time until he checked up on me again. I just sat down 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjcV4hwMhE

“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.”734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoY51QxR8L1
“Speaking of class, the 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8UT1iMVAl
time for our break is almost up. We better leave,” said Amanda. “I don’t734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOpBQLWwRu
want to be late and end up on the offenders’ list.”734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wuQqu2jrr
“You guys go ahead,” I said. “I will get your books tomorrow and copy the notes.”734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17qWjk4Jmd
“Alright, take care of yourself. We might come back in the evening to say goodnight,” said Christine.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08IGEHQa82
“Okay,” I said dully as I734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHde5WNzBk
lay down on the bed. It was going to be pretty boring without my 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEkH3pxncn
friends around and I sighed as they left the room. I was left completely734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2jL8iFD7i
alone in the ward staring at the blank white ceiling above me.
