I finally remember.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCclHGx1KLR
My eyes quickly flew 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wR8QUd6kQ
open as a sudden sense of familiarity came over me. I was at the school 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOADzzGFKY
clinic and as I sat up on the bed, I realised that the ward was empty. 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAAShbG4L6
The white coloured walls greeted me with warmth as the sun rays 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtQKJYCIJc
reflecting through the windows gave the room a wonderful glow. As I took873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YNbYvObgs
in the warmth, everything came back to me. I had fainted in the 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0G1BI6Iq9D
orchard. That wasn’t the only thing that I remembered. There was a whole873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFuHinark3
lot to it than I had realised.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVY4flxVqFP
“I now remember,” I said aloud to the empty ward.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrzSNKsBfN
Everything came back to 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuPZH2Eyzq
me in flash like it had in the orchard when I saw the mysterious 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOMOYyseXJ
stranger who was standing behind Amanda. When I had looked at the 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcbaivgkLq
stranger, I finally remembered what had happened to me when those images873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0Wq9GgYtY
came running into my mind. I now remember what had happened to me 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0v7n2wVuBr
before I woke up this morning. I hated to say this to myself, but 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbv4GmQjZYs
Christine was right. Something was wrong with me and it had started all 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUz9HNG75Yp
the way from the time I had failed to wake up this morning until now. As873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmqbEZ78F7
I tried to go through what I could recall from the images that had run 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWE6rWBlDQ
into my head earlier, I felt I was hit in the face with a reality check.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIa8lSQpLjd
I had died in my sleep.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ujnZeoNJl
“You didn’t even budge at all. It was like you were dead or something.”873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0DcPPag5g
“I was there when 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZ7fAYwWbw
Christine tried to wake you up. You didn’t even move an inch. You just 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnpxNzYXfa
laid there. And you looked, I don’t know, dead.”873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTXD9OiJR0
I recalled what 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHIeXWjARg
Christine and Amanda had told me earlier. They were right and what I 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8Q3MqRy6Y
could remember proved it all. I had died in my sleep and as far as I 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA37NDzBOnd
could remember, only one person knew why. The stranger who came to the 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUSXtqZVdw
orchard was the same person in my dreams. And surprisingly, the same 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafdEOksFhq
stranger was the one who took my life.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCOnY9BMXe
I closed my eyes and 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HrxN7OgQx
everything became clear as I remembered what had happened to me in my 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzwTz6Z3a2
dreams. Everything around me was empty and dark. I couldn’t even tell if873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHVo6OpfXz
I was floating in the air in the deep void of nothingness or if I had 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tVTL7cQ3p
my feet planted to the floor. There was no sign of life, light or any 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDEXZj54Z2
object I could feel or grab onto. I was nowhere, in a place where things873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXTxlCTky1
never existed.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ725iX4WPt
Then, out of nowhere, 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwNWCWDIB0
something had appeared right before my eyes, a few feet away from me. 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBPssbBeWA
For a moment I couldn’t tell what it was because it was too dark and the873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRizEUT5hzn
same object that had appeared before seemed to be covered in a black 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyGXRJyWeC
cloth that swirled around as if there was the presence of wind when it 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtdjRpviBr
actually wasn’t there. I adjusted my eyes a little more to see more 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUmI2fS1jC
clearly. The object was kind of tall and before I could have realised it873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogLgbQf9H2
sooner, the object that stood before me was a human being in a black 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwfNfyBLhY
long cloak. And whoever it was was facing my direction looking at me. I 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyOA93JG6H
couldn’t see eyes or even a face underneath the hood; it was dark, dark 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyY2gKaQWfs
as the environment around us. For a moment, it seemed like we were just 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRaDCsmrcL
staring at each other until I got a feeling in me that this person in 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJfpi180lM
front of me was creeping me out. The air around us started to get cold 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmODeEcZJIn
and each second that passed became colder and colder. At some point I 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavyGX95K3k
breathed out air and an icy cold mist escaped from my nostrils. It was 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqjXA7Db5Z
definitely getting cold and it felt like I was stuck in a freezer. I 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2I9glYHJ7w
started to shiver so violently and when I looked at my hands, they were 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWrm667Ua7
icy blue. My hands soon felt numb from the cold, so did my face and legs873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPD0pOKI5f
too. In a matter of minutes, my body had turned cold and blue. My body 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmH7zZpSHH
had become numb with cold and at that moment, my legs gave way and I 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvl79s8FWr
fell to the cold floor which had suddenly turned into a hard cold layer 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKgEGyX9yk
of ice. I tried to move, but I was so still. The nerves in my body 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAR7IqYVej
seemed to have frozen up too but it was a wonder how my brain was still 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWdXwQEn7f
functioning because I was completely aware of what was going on and I 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07toCf09eS
could see the stranger in the dark cloak just staring back at me not 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhv2r0ZSfs
doing anything to help.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4hg4xjv65
I tried moving my icy 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRdOUMoIx3
blue lips, but it was no use. I couldn’t even feel them. My lungs had 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ492qDS5wyt
stung with pain inside me and I was scared that they were going to stop 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTojwcW9on
functioning right there and then. What kept my hopes up was the beating 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNb1DJgpgW
of my heart; though I could hear every heart beat grow faint as the 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedgqlkPAwJ
coldness in me took over. I continued to stare at the stranger in front 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGeILi7Uot
of me, praying that he could do something to help me.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiboLSLTAe
As though my thoughts 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bAC7Y4f7a
had finally been heard, the stranger took a step closer towards me. For a873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39ixuosHRb
moment, I finally felt that everything was going to be alright and I 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFklWQEYXYa
was going to be saved. When the stranger had finally come close enough 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5khsqOXlu
to help, my eyes flew to the hood trying to see if I could see the 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWtTYGYEzB
stranger’s face, but I still couldn’t see a thing. The stranger 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp66q6UsBE7
continued to look down at me and even though I couldn’t see any facial 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnv8RiXN0oa
features under the hood, I could feel the stranger’s eyes on me. When I 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlbszGZZPS
had hoped that the stranger was going to help me, that hope was soon 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGLFp4aabR
replaced with fear in an instant, even in the frozen state I was in. My 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyYEaR1QtP
eyes bulged out in fear and I prayed in my heart for at least my nerves 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb20sHyE6JX
to kick start again and I would be able to get away from this stranger 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GCSl51JI3
who I didn’t even know.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KrJPYyV2Z
As I continued to pray 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKPU8wjkuI
to myself, the stranger soon knelt to the floor on one knee and the fear873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLmKceUy6K
in me almost ended my fading heart. The stranger quickly stretched out 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ob0t4fyB2
his hand and held my cold neck. I could feel the strong hand grip 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHYPjyGJc8
tightly around my neck and he was choking me out with the little air I 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvyUtlnOFA
could take in my cold state. When the stranger slowly stood, he was 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSLQW0wIB7
dragging me upwards along with him. We were now staring at each other. I873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQFGEe2jQd
could still feel the stranger’s gaze on me because it felt like needles873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyevjhHf1d
were pierced into my eyes. I continued to stare back into the dark void873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafdewDqhwx
under the hood feeling helpless. I wondered what this person was going 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhcrylpmui
to do to me.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OXi95I56S
Soon, a scythe appeared 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1H72gWse1
out of nowhere and it stood right beside the stranger in mid-air. The 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dkGUHhiZs
stranger took the scythe in his hand and in an instant, the scythe had 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQ2I448Xtv
transformed into a knife. My heart had started to beat faster than it 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHloxAkmWxu
had when I had been frozen. I had to admit that I was scared and I tried873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKQlgXVgTf
to scream for help, but it was no use. No one was here to help me and 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfNweKDJSg
this stranger in front of me seemed to have made up his mind about what 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcni6iLxU4G
he was going to do with me. At that moment, I prayed that all of what I 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldg4qgli0N
was going through was just a bad dream.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kF2qSVdaN
I continued to stare at 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRPR5R8qPa
the stranger in front of me, with a knife in hand. The hand around my 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTXapG45Rp
neck tightened with every defying moment. I thought the stranger would 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7mv85FnV2
have a final say before he drove that knife into me, but there was 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCz2SaWFIWg
nothing but silence between us. With all of my might, and with all the 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV34J6s9ZsK
pain and coldness inside of me, I had forced myself to speak:873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA69oMcs4jN
“Plea…..please……do…..don’t do this,” cold mist escaped my lips as I spoke. “What wrong have I done to deserve this?”873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrF3Z6yCi5N
A cold deafening voice 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GgjZ9wt4R
echoed around me from the stranger who had held me captive, it was a 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzh23Ravt9
voice that could have sent anyone running for their lives:873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtRaJ4jfrv
“Your time has come, Diana. This is your destiny and how it all ends!”873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1xnTlYqa8
Before I could say 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2XsyVNb89
anything else, the knife quickly drove through my chest and I had felt 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt17vDXIR11
the piercing pain. Even though I was frozen I could feel the warm blood 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7U859jBHT
flow out of my body and its coppery smell filled the air. I looked down 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZkNt4GkGq
on my chest and I saw the red smear of blood staining my shirt. The 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8n2XxLE6XF
knife was quickly removed from my chest and the stranger drove it again,873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzNoz3Xjue
this time into my stomach. This time I screamed out in endless pain and873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDYAtmG7pW
my scream echoed around the deep void. The stranger continued to stab 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpC4VUjdAD1
me in so many places and I was left in antagonising pain that I 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuyrOhl8U9
continued to scream until I reached a point where I couldn’t scream any 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguHhUT8d7X
longer. I was numb with pain.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNF5PL16xM
My body soon felt limb 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3dAnohj1k
and the next thing I knew I was on the floor and didn’t even know how I 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtL9gAWxpFf
had ended up down there. The stranger continued to look down at me as I 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiHdOAeCEg
was bleeding out to death. I didn’t feel the pain anymore, though I 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7UQDQkDiU
could feel something was living my body slowly. Was it my soul, I had 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVLl4ntEM1
wondered. My vision soon became blurry as images started flashing in my 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBySR4D0jac
mind. Were those my memories of the life I had once lived? At that 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqh5gEO80g5
moment I couldn’t even think or tell what was real and what wasn’t. My 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycHjJ5oCsw
brain was dying so as the rest of my body. I could really feel myself 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpkrh5jKjr
fading into who knows where.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HB3elZ1eB
The stranger soon turned873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytwkdUkmuL
away from me with the knife in his hand which was covered in blood, in 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfg8DnQ2wk
my blood. As the stranger walked away, the knife in his hand soon turned873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6LQ1maAbo
back into a scythe and the darkness swallowed the stranger out of 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOV0sl8Wta
sight. 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtll9ROJbR
And I was left in the darkness, in a pool of my own blood, as I breathed out my last. 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSXTALo1rl
“Diana!”873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yKO7M9Vmz
My eyes quickly flew 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNxVnfoDn2
open and for a moment, I was oblivious of my surrounding. I felt a hand 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdygs5HIiWA
on my shoulder and Christine stood right in front of me with Amanda 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVeCGFXUFx
standing right behind her. They both had worried looks on their faces 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqW0YrhCJf
and I hoped it had nothing to do with me.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUc6zgxMUkr
“Why are you looking at me like that?” I asked.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUl194sTYdq
“We were wondering if you were alright,” Christine answered.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNFpW5ADVI
“I’m fine as you can 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYrRSAkQXn
see. There is nothing to worry about,” I tried to sound as normal as 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3B7ikQQcjm
possible after what I had just remembered.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTqmSmeovS
“It doesn’t seem that way to us,” Amanda said. The look on her face made me even more worried than they were.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilI1QYfcuq
“What do you mean?” I raised my eyebrow.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bdpd8JSfG
Amanda and Christine 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGfy0LmyjG
turned to look at each other, looking concerned. They went back to 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhJ7bi8rqw
looking at me like I had just said something stupid.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKy884KXzuj
“Is someone going to tell me what’s up or do I have to play the guess game?” I snapped, growing impatient. 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9X7bntaTG
“We came into the ward 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LQ4mqBGXs
and saw you seated on the bed with your eyes closed,” said Christine. 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvPUek1mma
“When we called out to you, you didn’t respond. When we shook you, you 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQQUIS3i58
didn’t do anything. You just sat there as though you were deep into 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefNHI4xzQM
meditation. But when we touched your skin you were as cold as ice. So we873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Oax22UYAt
grew worried, calling your name and shaking you, but to no avail. We 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxNu7l54CC
almost called for the nurse until your eyes flew open.”873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpoI1Z5ADU
I sighed out in 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JPqLmCfyR
frustration as I buried my head into my hands. This was not happening. 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0Gm2bWTVL
What was going on? I had died this morning but somehow came back to 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwtqwUOBEi
life. And now, just trying to remember my death made me go into a dead 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouBC5BhMcE
state all over again.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGpZjx16y6
“Hey, are you okay?” Christine asked. “What happened to you?”873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSX7VpPAFu
I looked up at my 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5qnTleSkI
friends as they continued to stare down at me. I wasn’t quite sure 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWc4OfRWcu
whether to tell them that they had been right all along about this 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11EyFYljRA
morning or just try to make up some excuse of a story. I finally decided873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWjbSUV0rJ
to tell them the truth. I wasn’t going to bear carrying this secret 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8UkJruQke
around with me for long, so I sat upright and took a deep breath.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYEuFbO5Cl
“Okay, I’ll tell you,” I873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5Q9baueXP
said, trying to build up my confidence. I closed my eyes and opened 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqOqixvCRS
them. And before I could open my mouth to speak, something strange 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu80JPQg7bU
happened.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYzCu9Dox6
A vision of the stranger873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLcKSOx8LE
in my dream had quickly appeared before my eyes. He still wore the same873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxpD672T3Y
black cloak and hood. He had a knife in his hand. The same knife he had873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpxUb8jrjX
used to kill me. And it was all covered in blood and he was carrying 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dBDOj4Ux2
something wrapped around his arm. A body all covered in blood.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFO1PNnKVTd
Christine’s body!873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GbQjJmhRN
Was all of this a sign 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdah46HLlAc
that I shouldn’t say anything? The vision had appeared out of nowhere, 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSgmSIGbte
and that meant something. I swallowed hard as I quickly thought of what 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FDFDPCN7o
to say next.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLt7L3UEKb
“I felt like I was 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcshDgy8EI
coming down with something,” I lied. “I felt a little nauseous and I 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07QeRhuPUy
tried sitting up on the bed hoping the feeling would go away.”873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5R2uHRN5v
“But we called out to you a thousand times,” Amanda said. “Why didn’t you say anything?”873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYYMAER3Mj
“I fell asleep,” I answered. “You know sometimes I fall asleep while I sit upright. I do so in class.”873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKH2i92vIl
That was probably the 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCK07ehERr
worst lie I have ever uttered in my entire life. I don’t how know how 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcyY14SfIn
those words came out of my mouth, but they did. I continued to look up 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwqhjSX290
at my friends and I prayed that they would believe what I had just said.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDLSDFHG5K
I had to admit, what I had said was pretty cheeky. I wasn’t going to be873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulqOA0eNSm
surprised if they didn’t believe me.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdU6mFuTK5
“Oh, thank goodness,” said Christine in relief, placing her hand over her chest. “For a moment you had us all worried.”873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDoPcKxAXc
I quickly raised my left eyebrow. She believed that?873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKrc6PUCuD
“Yes, me too,” said Amanda. “You shouldn’t scare us like that. What happened in the morning was more than enough.”873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5lsq11vDX
“I was just feeling tired and sick, that’s all,” I said, as I pretended to yawn.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlYl9BrtKs
“Okay, well the time we 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQObFL06Zbh
brought you here to the clinic the doctor attended to you and said 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6UYG2Zyh6
nothing was wrong with you, you just had low blood pressure,” Christine 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnf3uugkWO
said.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlM7IczXjle
“I thought I was coming down with malaria,” I said.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7T2FpiQqU
“Well, I’m just glad 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLldRx15Iwe
you’re okay. Our dorm mates were really worried about you when you had 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5cn4L3xRo
fainted,” said Amanda. “They will be glad to see that you’re okay.”873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgC5SkbTJTy
“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.”873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5d2LNTyGJI
“Whoa, hold on right 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxe3Iwwmn5Z
there!” Christine held my shoulders and pushed me back on the bed. “You 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EzoAZJN0j
are not going anywhere, my friend. The doctor said so.”873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgQTpxxwDH
“But why? I’m perfectly fine,” I whined.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbOfeiwmwa
“You need to run through873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZpJIaqojG
some checkups just in case this doesn’t become serious,” said Amanda. 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgT8MJMLVwX
“Looks like you have to stay here until tomorrow.” 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8hXryXFAp
Tomorrow! The clinic was873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsKBvz3DtF
the last place I wanted to stay in, and better yet, all alone without 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xpK6Q4pd1
my friends. I soon started to think of the worst. What if the stranger 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWA4mR7TC2o
came after me again? And this time, in real life chasing me around the 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQMSLYJg2h
clinic with his deadly scythe? I swallowed hard as I imagined all of 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4wXrrOz5G
that even happening.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OSkPTjU16
“I can’t stay here,” I continued to protest. “I’m perfectly fine. Tell the doctor to come and check up on me again.”873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPDd36X5sU
“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.”873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwr8p79kqJm
“But all of this is 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc84XXLZA7u
ridiculous. It’s just low blood pressure and you’re acting as though I 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8YeesgIbl
have AIDS,” I was getting rather impatient. “Or is there something 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlSShQC0Dh
you’re not telling me?”873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1exQ0bnSQ
“I don’t know, you have 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE739F8dYn6
to ask the doctor that. He said you can’t go back to school until you’re873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡak7gXKFoYV
perfectly fine,” said Christine. “You better ask him why.”873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZHmWwtr85
“Okay, where is he?” I quickly stood up, getting ready to see the doctor myself.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JovcdgLW1
“He is busy with other patients at the moment,” said Christine. “You just have to wait and that will be like till evening.”873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKKlTW3z26
I hate to admit it, but 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpXuhR96t9
Christine was right. There were a number of patients who came into this 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZe0Sn5AHJZ
hospital each and every day. And considering this place to be rural 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNedJbQFpS
area, a lot of people were prone to capture some tropical diseases and 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljP0A2a1YO
others. And there weren’t many doctors in the clinic to attend to all 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFEFH09fzR
those in need of treatment. I just had to be considerate enough and give873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbA8gsyUZ8j
the doctor some time until he checked up on me again. I just sat down 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJ8UDORTlL
on my bed in defeat.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJphUS4bNX
“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.”873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NxUiFsHRY
“Speaking of class, the 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFskQEv9q6
time for our break is almost up. We better leave,” said Amanda. “I don’t873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8er37zPW0
want to be late and end up on the offenders’ list.”873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM97OvPzEqO
“You guys go ahead,” I said. “I will get your books tomorrow and copy the notes.”873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4GtKcqmBK
“Alright, take care of yourself. We might come back in the evening to say goodnight,” said Christine.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvQlO5UxN1
“Okay,” I said dully as I873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYoYz8KJjN
lay down on the bed. It was going to be pretty boring without my 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcXq8YhPUI
friends around and I sighed as they left the room. I was left completely873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHQEYzqSAE
alone in the ward staring at the blank white ceiling above me.
