I finally remember.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25MOmHAVfs
My eyes quickly flew 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiSJpCXwIM
open as a sudden sense of familiarity came over me. I was at the school 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjglLJfNeE
clinic and as I sat up on the bed, I realised that the ward was empty. 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX02zGzO3u4
The white coloured walls greeted me with warmth as the sun rays 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDJ25Et4Ve
reflecting through the windows gave the room a wonderful glow. As I took774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgyp8j3Hr7
in the warmth, everything came back to me. I had fainted in the 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUGxdGUf53
orchard. That wasn’t the only thing that I remembered. There was a whole774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoqNYXYMrv
lot to it than I had realised.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9RIYrwfJi
“I now remember,” I said aloud to the empty ward.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwD1kgz4zG6
Everything came back to 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDRPlLxkxL
me in flash like it had in the orchard when I saw the mysterious 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGX781ooI9f
stranger who was standing behind Amanda. When I had looked at the 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyaboiVBW2
stranger, I finally remembered what had happened to me when those images774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEewdPKpbu
came running into my mind. I now remember what had happened to me 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0bsSgiToY
before I woke up this morning. I hated to say this to myself, but 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnq81FIw08C
Christine was right. Something was wrong with me and it had started all 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUHXJdoIep
the way from the time I had failed to wake up this morning until now. As774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24IKaPrcDt
I tried to go through what I could recall from the images that had run 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzntcCA3Dlu
into my head earlier, I felt I was hit in the face with a reality check.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDaiZvnv4g
I had died in my sleep.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRn3xT1EgtH
“You didn’t even budge at all. It was like you were dead or something.”774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4eBNxVzBV
“I was there when 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wbeYsCoLf
Christine tried to wake you up. You didn’t even move an inch. You just 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNQY7rWEnV
laid there. And you looked, I don’t know, dead.”774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTuAjmpbh5
I recalled what 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1XO6dcUng
Christine and Amanda had told me earlier. They were right and what I 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwap2DIl6e
could remember proved it all. I had died in my sleep and as far as I 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1mG2akKqU
could remember, only one person knew why. The stranger who came to the 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fpLS4MVfu
orchard was the same person in my dreams. And surprisingly, the same 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZuMAS9cPt
stranger was the one who took my life.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhkvW9megX
I closed my eyes and 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRSN35vuCE
everything became clear as I remembered what had happened to me in my 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hC5rHROdK
dreams. Everything around me was empty and dark. I couldn’t even tell if774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGbdK6eUOL
I was floating in the air in the deep void of nothingness or if I had 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FZf2IypK6
my feet planted to the floor. There was no sign of life, light or any 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGl3C4RQL4
object I could feel or grab onto. I was nowhere, in a place where things774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4SHkpeLOT
never existed.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaL0lGcVx1x
Then, out of nowhere, 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp117Do3DlS
something had appeared right before my eyes, a few feet away from me. 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0cPUzwFp3
For a moment I couldn’t tell what it was because it was too dark and the774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBxUOkAjS5
same object that had appeared before seemed to be covered in a black 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCD538vGKYV
cloth that swirled around as if there was the presence of wind when it 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHR6Qqkxwma
actually wasn’t there. I adjusted my eyes a little more to see more 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrx83WicovB
clearly. The object was kind of tall and before I could have realised it774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1m9SnSjkxc
sooner, the object that stood before me was a human being in a black 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPqQkVN1mb
long cloak. And whoever it was was facing my direction looking at me. I 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0cc9CTFtQ
couldn’t see eyes or even a face underneath the hood; it was dark, dark 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uEnqOHrzx
as the environment around us. For a moment, it seemed like we were just 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkesEat68m
staring at each other until I got a feeling in me that this person in 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUuxQnEkyv
front of me was creeping me out. The air around us started to get cold 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPruYWSDSU
and each second that passed became colder and colder. At some point I 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6ywsTheZ0
breathed out air and an icy cold mist escaped from my nostrils. It was 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuCNvGblCu
definitely getting cold and it felt like I was stuck in a freezer. I 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqbLLEW2fR
started to shiver so violently and when I looked at my hands, they were 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRnA47u5Jw
icy blue. My hands soon felt numb from the cold, so did my face and legs774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Vfu7RZL6V
too. In a matter of minutes, my body had turned cold and blue. My body 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uaouxCIuN
had become numb with cold and at that moment, my legs gave way and I 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡri4Nar4UHb
fell to the cold floor which had suddenly turned into a hard cold layer 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6iKXITTau
of ice. I tried to move, but I was so still. The nerves in my body 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RCRlaYEru
seemed to have frozen up too but it was a wonder how my brain was still 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNZMIki5D8
functioning because I was completely aware of what was going on and I 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQU4oRh01hF
could see the stranger in the dark cloak just staring back at me not 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIMpt5TWeD
doing anything to help.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3filcV8HOV
I tried moving my icy 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61hRPnH2WK
blue lips, but it was no use. I couldn’t even feel them. My lungs had 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUERYtuc1C
stung with pain inside me and I was scared that they were going to stop 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRwYmupCe7
functioning right there and then. What kept my hopes up was the beating 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5p6TIxQSK
of my heart; though I could hear every heart beat grow faint as the 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXovN1cg7LZ
coldness in me took over. I continued to stare at the stranger in front 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHpltlTNh4
of me, praying that he could do something to help me.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxWn9o62OE
As though my thoughts 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQmcsly4M3
had finally been heard, the stranger took a step closer towards me. For a774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kA9R7Kt2C
moment, I finally felt that everything was going to be alright and I 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0sSUQeUDx
was going to be saved. When the stranger had finally come close enough 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjmWSi4Cd1
to help, my eyes flew to the hood trying to see if I could see the 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYG9pF0fxE
stranger’s face, but I still couldn’t see a thing. The stranger 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvgD4Gafj0
continued to look down at me and even though I couldn’t see any facial 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeRkbR9qd3
features under the hood, I could feel the stranger’s eyes on me. When I 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmLI9OrPZZ
had hoped that the stranger was going to help me, that hope was soon 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYIUsdfAim
replaced with fear in an instant, even in the frozen state I was in. My 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzqEAn5yP4
eyes bulged out in fear and I prayed in my heart for at least my nerves 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiin74jPO5T
to kick start again and I would be able to get away from this stranger 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KLT1GcAbp
who I didn’t even know.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IBO4i6Qip
As I continued to pray 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5Yo5Wjmh6
to myself, the stranger soon knelt to the floor on one knee and the fear774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Qe00HvMeW
in me almost ended my fading heart. The stranger quickly stretched out 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyumHpWxNhM
his hand and held my cold neck. I could feel the strong hand grip 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzHHi9KB5S
tightly around my neck and he was choking me out with the little air I 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQ1qr20oNH
could take in my cold state. When the stranger slowly stood, he was 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxAWGVF2kZ
dragging me upwards along with him. We were now staring at each other. I774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcT1Fn5xYtm
could still feel the stranger’s gaze on me because it felt like needles774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QMkQo1cQb
were pierced into my eyes. I continued to stare back into the dark void774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkHlGz9yUn
under the hood feeling helpless. I wondered what this person was going 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuZk5IBYxY
to do to me.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8ueRaYJ0i
Soon, a scythe appeared 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NEereD1UW
out of nowhere and it stood right beside the stranger in mid-air. The 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUcgcIBo8D
stranger took the scythe in his hand and in an instant, the scythe had 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LWn5QPQaq
transformed into a knife. My heart had started to beat faster than it 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpaeldUCOu
had when I had been frozen. I had to admit that I was scared and I tried774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZXAAMvatI
to scream for help, but it was no use. No one was here to help me and 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVUbj3NlAN
this stranger in front of me seemed to have made up his mind about what 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBvUTlSk1Y
he was going to do with me. At that moment, I prayed that all of what I 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqyLFeHTxb
was going through was just a bad dream.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBnPRXJ0dY
I continued to stare at 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwFAyDxFmw
the stranger in front of me, with a knife in hand. The hand around my 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXV3U43Zxm8
neck tightened with every defying moment. I thought the stranger would 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlL1V8p7Hdy
have a final say before he drove that knife into me, but there was 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94t5NjyxEw
nothing but silence between us. With all of my might, and with all the 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtGRX1WyO8
pain and coldness inside of me, I had forced myself to speak:774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JFsFqXNrX
“Plea…..please……do…..don’t do this,” cold mist escaped my lips as I spoke. “What wrong have I done to deserve this?”774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcRL5Sc1PB
A cold deafening voice 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFWNCEctxp
echoed around me from the stranger who had held me captive, it was a 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZQXOzjDk8
voice that could have sent anyone running for their lives:774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfK6dUjH9z3
“Your time has come, Diana. This is your destiny and how it all ends!”774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjMauY9Fe3
Before I could say 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOwOP8qfHp
anything else, the knife quickly drove through my chest and I had felt 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEc9tZV68H
the piercing pain. Even though I was frozen I could feel the warm blood 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BwjB8lDj0
flow out of my body and its coppery smell filled the air. I looked down 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTLmuPfWtN
on my chest and I saw the red smear of blood staining my shirt. The 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIsBxnGi5F
knife was quickly removed from my chest and the stranger drove it again,774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf644z6srVs
this time into my stomach. This time I screamed out in endless pain and774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYOnG9i4xN
my scream echoed around the deep void. The stranger continued to stab 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxT5Hswf8Z
me in so many places and I was left in antagonising pain that I 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoGNUcD41w
continued to scream until I reached a point where I couldn’t scream any 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4wcJWPH6E
longer. I was numb with pain.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZja9JaQhjG
My body soon felt limb 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGkXTqciTa
and the next thing I knew I was on the floor and didn’t even know how I 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Pev2tNoj8
had ended up down there. The stranger continued to look down at me as I 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSgIyC5gf7
was bleeding out to death. I didn’t feel the pain anymore, though I 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV414eSskBA
could feel something was living my body slowly. Was it my soul, I had 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lga8U0PuZ
wondered. My vision soon became blurry as images started flashing in my 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAC7n8a0zb
mind. Were those my memories of the life I had once lived? At that 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzARgNxAGP
moment I couldn’t even think or tell what was real and what wasn’t. My 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLf4BXITtEG
brain was dying so as the rest of my body. I could really feel myself 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJI3Fwecr6
fading into who knows where.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nkSNUHQPc
The stranger soon turned774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzsNnb0WfE
away from me with the knife in his hand which was covered in blood, in 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFUkYHtm6y
my blood. As the stranger walked away, the knife in his hand soon turned774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfBrasjPPk
back into a scythe and the darkness swallowed the stranger out of 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmk0C7OW3O
sight. 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBQGrImNpd
And I was left in the darkness, in a pool of my own blood, as I breathed out my last. 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFgxiWG8Ct
“Diana!”774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekG1bn5CSp
My eyes quickly flew 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRKxhDLcBo
open and for a moment, I was oblivious of my surrounding. I felt a hand 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU42XBLsTBm
on my shoulder and Christine stood right in front of me with Amanda 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQamP0Ufy3h
standing right behind her. They both had worried looks on their faces 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgip2bjiAJ
and I hoped it had nothing to do with me.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHqjUWzq1I
“Why are you looking at me like that?” I asked.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9q210KkYCa
“We were wondering if you were alright,” Christine answered.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HCyBPRuKD
“I’m fine as you can 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLp0Ya0Xw2O
see. There is nothing to worry about,” I tried to sound as normal as 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLJwbsnowG
possible after what I had just remembered.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQ5tMEkc4r
“It doesn’t seem that way to us,” Amanda said. The look on her face made me even more worried than they were.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpy3qtv6ywm
“What do you mean?” I raised my eyebrow.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTqvhlGAMP
Amanda and Christine 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurKqrAtXNA
turned to look at each other, looking concerned. They went back to 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vf9g8TS7F
looking at me like I had just said something stupid.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpgT8ST9C2
“Is someone going to tell me what’s up or do I have to play the guess game?” I snapped, growing impatient. 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrav2YV2xvH
“We came into the ward 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWMsMWbxhi
and saw you seated on the bed with your eyes closed,” said Christine. 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dwblrjxVi
“When we called out to you, you didn’t respond. When we shook you, you 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGN5SBncWz
didn’t do anything. You just sat there as though you were deep into 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEbFvDJDs8
meditation. But when we touched your skin you were as cold as ice. So we774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqArYdcU2IC
grew worried, calling your name and shaking you, but to no avail. We 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUEjPaeFdO
almost called for the nurse until your eyes flew open.”774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3dfivRq6E
I sighed out in 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWX4avnAVlz
frustration as I buried my head into my hands. This was not happening. 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zwXzcSb1b
What was going on? I had died this morning but somehow came back to 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKb92PyXka
life. And now, just trying to remember my death made me go into a dead 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWLF1XjpaE
state all over again.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjJ0aiMrlB
“Hey, are you okay?” Christine asked. “What happened to you?”774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0dSLYTad7
I looked up at my 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMFYct7G0z
friends as they continued to stare down at me. I wasn’t quite sure 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUj0RNWWYlU
whether to tell them that they had been right all along about this 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yrEkNiB75
morning or just try to make up some excuse of a story. I finally decided774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmvsVvKjsd
to tell them the truth. I wasn’t going to bear carrying this secret 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpmkBXuDzd
around with me for long, so I sat upright and took a deep breath.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG21BfYAICv
“Okay, I’ll tell you,” I774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8eh87WMME
said, trying to build up my confidence. I closed my eyes and opened 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYKIwCeZxl
them. And before I could open my mouth to speak, something strange 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4wHOxrm3m
happened.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlu2AfcOnX
A vision of the stranger774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWx9EOxHtz
in my dream had quickly appeared before my eyes. He still wore the same774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswGwS4nLwk
black cloak and hood. He had a knife in his hand. The same knife he had774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoIpSTUmFQ
used to kill me. And it was all covered in blood and he was carrying 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmAfOIYP6Q
something wrapped around his arm. A body all covered in blood.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnNvIFllYd
Christine’s body!774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoMSt6WOn5
Was all of this a sign 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUjRBCN7xS
that I shouldn’t say anything? The vision had appeared out of nowhere, 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTiOhHF7lr
and that meant something. I swallowed hard as I quickly thought of what 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwmcjfG9vI
to say next.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoKpYJUJtC
“I felt like I was 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdqXuXYZBn
coming down with something,” I lied. “I felt a little nauseous and I 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7QdyHfM1e
tried sitting up on the bed hoping the feeling would go away.”774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDW6qA5Wog
“But we called out to you a thousand times,” Amanda said. “Why didn’t you say anything?”774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEW3aNvqQt
“I fell asleep,” I answered. “You know sometimes I fall asleep while I sit upright. I do so in class.”774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0ZSP7zQHy
That was probably the 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DAQcHNeAQ
worst lie I have ever uttered in my entire life. I don’t how know how 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNowK60jV7
those words came out of my mouth, but they did. I continued to look up 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvyH9aMAd5
at my friends and I prayed that they would believe what I had just said.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBito9FYPQz
I had to admit, what I had said was pretty cheeky. I wasn’t going to be774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkCapZ80Dx
surprised if they didn’t believe me.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jtm8phd5A
“Oh, thank goodness,” said Christine in relief, placing her hand over her chest. “For a moment you had us all worried.”774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKW8ccPZGix
I quickly raised my left eyebrow. She believed that?774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhm7FDk0tyU
“Yes, me too,” said Amanda. “You shouldn’t scare us like that. What happened in the morning was more than enough.”774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWxybGbKcp
“I was just feeling tired and sick, that’s all,” I said, as I pretended to yawn.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1H3Rsm8SvU
“Okay, well the time we 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAz22P9cPn
brought you here to the clinic the doctor attended to you and said 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9ERGxQas6
nothing was wrong with you, you just had low blood pressure,” Christine 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHM4sE9v7VE
said.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsMRjXNzIB
“I thought I was coming down with malaria,” I said.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHK8D4zDjn
“Well, I’m just glad 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQA8mMNlZN6
you’re okay. Our dorm mates were really worried about you when you had 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡov4rwgFQTv
fainted,” said Amanda. “They will be glad to see that you’re okay.”774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9g3NFJ0eN
“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.”774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QfQn5bpX3
“Whoa, hold on right 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEgqA6HDpU
there!” Christine held my shoulders and pushed me back on the bed. “You 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxE600n3qE
are not going anywhere, my friend. The doctor said so.”774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRkDI49F0B
“But why? I’m perfectly fine,” I whined.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPIbY72Lum
“You need to run through774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡng8NeH6Rf2
some checkups just in case this doesn’t become serious,” said Amanda. 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6TurVRQPN
“Looks like you have to stay here until tomorrow.” 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEVpzf21K1
Tomorrow! The clinic was774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0o8CtlYb0S
the last place I wanted to stay in, and better yet, all alone without 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJuuV4C8SI
my friends. I soon started to think of the worst. What if the stranger 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6ddJcEH7B
came after me again? And this time, in real life chasing me around the 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsZarBkIOT
clinic with his deadly scythe? I swallowed hard as I imagined all of 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4Q0VwPjVS
that even happening.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrE0tAD8yVT
“I can’t stay here,” I continued to protest. “I’m perfectly fine. Tell the doctor to come and check up on me again.”774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAPg0TQnJX
“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.”774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdBNjqnEZi
“But all of this is 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jQIJY4362
ridiculous. It’s just low blood pressure and you’re acting as though I 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QqTbWI79p
have AIDS,” I was getting rather impatient. “Or is there something 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ407jR3VeeB
you’re not telling me?”774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPtD0sPCWk
“I don’t know, you have 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRlsfPoGxa
to ask the doctor that. He said you can’t go back to school until you’re774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qCHOzYMGW
perfectly fine,” said Christine. “You better ask him why.”774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jk8HDSakS
“Okay, where is he?” I quickly stood up, getting ready to see the doctor myself.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6EudpLb12
“He is busy with other patients at the moment,” said Christine. “You just have to wait and that will be like till evening.”774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuEi8FDuCm
I hate to admit it, but 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUw8gyrXVnh
Christine was right. There were a number of patients who came into this 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtteiK64B5
hospital each and every day. And considering this place to be rural 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OUZ2EUhSd
area, a lot of people were prone to capture some tropical diseases and 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLvysL2XJL
others. And there weren’t many doctors in the clinic to attend to all 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH05drXO4sU
those in need of treatment. I just had to be considerate enough and give774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3OAgPr6jd
the doctor some time until he checked up on me again. I just sat down 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAecN4rfn6D
on my bed in defeat.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJOVbaE28O
“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.”774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMOCSwzPC9
“Speaking of class, the 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDR1BAsawq
time for our break is almost up. We better leave,” said Amanda. “I don’t774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgCWoEv26Z
want to be late and end up on the offenders’ list.”774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmec5lXQK6
“You guys go ahead,” I said. “I will get your books tomorrow and copy the notes.”774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡary4I4uSpK
“Alright, take care of yourself. We might come back in the evening to say goodnight,” said Christine.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZaDuopwoR
“Okay,” I said dully as I774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVWiqvWLv5
lay down on the bed. It was going to be pretty boring without my 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0cjqeSuwM
friends around and I sighed as they left the room. I was left completely774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUeuvCDNCg
alone in the ward staring at the blank white ceiling above me.
