I finally remember.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBJdIaA9TV
My eyes quickly flew 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6K8V37CV6Z
open as a sudden sense of familiarity came over me. I was at the school 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkymUc0t6n4
clinic and as I sat up on the bed, I realised that the ward was empty. 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AOLTJAlqQ
The white coloured walls greeted me with warmth as the sun rays 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWhz9oY61X
reflecting through the windows gave the room a wonderful glow. As I took751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQehFEunI0
in the warmth, everything came back to me. I had fainted in the 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjZeNhOni0
orchard. That wasn’t the only thing that I remembered. There was a whole751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVh6SXwH4S
lot to it than I had realised.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGa7QhpfMqF
“I now remember,” I said aloud to the empty ward.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizmqwzlmnw
Everything came back to 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3Lkv2BeEl
me in flash like it had in the orchard when I saw the mysterious 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgrJveRHXP
stranger who was standing behind Amanda. When I had looked at the 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuhrLthmHD
stranger, I finally remembered what had happened to me when those images751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKRPBbFVrQ
came running into my mind. I now remember what had happened to me 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKavOOHuUD
before I woke up this morning. I hated to say this to myself, but 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfQVGWRYjD
Christine was right. Something was wrong with me and it had started all 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLnYKxkNeN
the way from the time I had failed to wake up this morning until now. As751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsxKXuuqWa
I tried to go through what I could recall from the images that had run 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWPK0Eiq79
into my head earlier, I felt I was hit in the face with a reality check.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPJDqypcTb
I had died in my sleep.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHwvIIdKYr
“You didn’t even budge at all. It was like you were dead or something.”751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCihLplYYU
“I was there when 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyAPp2sDCf
Christine tried to wake you up. You didn’t even move an inch. You just 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiRA0jkNal
laid there. And you looked, I don’t know, dead.”751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xGp4truAE
I recalled what 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwB0K5py69Z
Christine and Amanda had told me earlier. They were right and what I 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXORZ3Uk32A
could remember proved it all. I had died in my sleep and as far as I 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35brz1wakH
could remember, only one person knew why. The stranger who came to the 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOuosZu1MW
orchard was the same person in my dreams. And surprisingly, the same 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3d0pHcRyHy
stranger was the one who took my life.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALhF558e22
I closed my eyes and 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnYLZxFtVW
everything became clear as I remembered what had happened to me in my 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDu75clhbg
dreams. Everything around me was empty and dark. I couldn’t even tell if751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5kaDI9XXV
I was floating in the air in the deep void of nothingness or if I had 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWolAxYxIDk
my feet planted to the floor. There was no sign of life, light or any 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeYK2lig07
object I could feel or grab onto. I was nowhere, in a place where things751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGQcjTADGo
never existed.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwF3IWht4Gg
Then, out of nowhere, 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDDvYSBuV4
something had appeared right before my eyes, a few feet away from me. 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtwfw14ypH
For a moment I couldn’t tell what it was because it was too dark and the751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxDBJstlkE
same object that had appeared before seemed to be covered in a black 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXC9rM42bAB
cloth that swirled around as if there was the presence of wind when it 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZ0ZvjGqwp
actually wasn’t there. I adjusted my eyes a little more to see more 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcamstDoDmg
clearly. The object was kind of tall and before I could have realised it751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTu5K9BVB6
sooner, the object that stood before me was a human being in a black 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ve03mteBN
long cloak. And whoever it was was facing my direction looking at me. I 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEk5oOQLOO
couldn’t see eyes or even a face underneath the hood; it was dark, dark 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuRvgmL9id
as the environment around us. For a moment, it seemed like we were just 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6PLiQW93X
staring at each other until I got a feeling in me that this person in 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLE6t2Y8HXC
front of me was creeping me out. The air around us started to get cold 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqY32XtCCw
and each second that passed became colder and colder. At some point I 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYfuTgUxip
breathed out air and an icy cold mist escaped from my nostrils. It was 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLkQdkCKaa
definitely getting cold and it felt like I was stuck in a freezer. I 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw64yx1oqYH
started to shiver so violently and when I looked at my hands, they were 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrocz4dqcsk
icy blue. My hands soon felt numb from the cold, so did my face and legs751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zYhe1HsZ0
too. In a matter of minutes, my body had turned cold and blue. My body 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd18Z3Yzsed
had become numb with cold and at that moment, my legs gave way and I 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAhuSbNWOy
fell to the cold floor which had suddenly turned into a hard cold layer 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjokgOrbIEK
of ice. I tried to move, but I was so still. The nerves in my body 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAv5bbt8mbe
seemed to have frozen up too but it was a wonder how my brain was still 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRiw6DLRzU
functioning because I was completely aware of what was going on and I 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0obAKuMgwX
could see the stranger in the dark cloak just staring back at me not 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtebwXJQA9
doing anything to help.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uCUDPGrlf
I tried moving my icy 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FNUsSG3uU
blue lips, but it was no use. I couldn’t even feel them. My lungs had 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5pKzDymvp
stung with pain inside me and I was scared that they were going to stop 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dA0bLGLxZ
functioning right there and then. What kept my hopes up was the beating 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzeA7Lc8nz
of my heart; though I could hear every heart beat grow faint as the 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VA8bpo3Mu
coldness in me took over. I continued to stare at the stranger in front 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFd0x2oQqL3
of me, praying that he could do something to help me.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXA8XM0ZGM
As though my thoughts 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmnQQhHkEY
had finally been heard, the stranger took a step closer towards me. For a751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGdseF3aRC
moment, I finally felt that everything was going to be alright and I 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ULtdiDE5S
was going to be saved. When the stranger had finally come close enough 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6YzSYEHGy
to help, my eyes flew to the hood trying to see if I could see the 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaMmjfrEQr
stranger’s face, but I still couldn’t see a thing. The stranger 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiizlPs0PA4
continued to look down at me and even though I couldn’t see any facial 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKikJhiWDj
features under the hood, I could feel the stranger’s eyes on me. When I 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJHL2RC3AF
had hoped that the stranger was going to help me, that hope was soon 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsi5nzUCDnu
replaced with fear in an instant, even in the frozen state I was in. My 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLKmJHrPMg
eyes bulged out in fear and I prayed in my heart for at least my nerves 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYdfJzQQEQ
to kick start again and I would be able to get away from this stranger 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvARfYylZe
who I didn’t even know.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AIdUeWZx7
As I continued to pray 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsq7fypHm0m
to myself, the stranger soon knelt to the floor on one knee and the fear751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ERlcijLAb
in me almost ended my fading heart. The stranger quickly stretched out 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXWnLkyRkB
his hand and held my cold neck. I could feel the strong hand grip 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUTPyhy5Ur
tightly around my neck and he was choking me out with the little air I 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXxR11M7eA
could take in my cold state. When the stranger slowly stood, he was 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JBFdX4Tq2
dragging me upwards along with him. We were now staring at each other. I751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPJwMhKK4V
could still feel the stranger’s gaze on me because it felt like needles751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8TjRNZnCi
were pierced into my eyes. I continued to stare back into the dark void751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJVsfE9Sah
under the hood feeling helpless. I wondered what this person was going 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsu3ECu8cA3
to do to me.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBoX11jnjl
Soon, a scythe appeared 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrglHermQs
out of nowhere and it stood right beside the stranger in mid-air. The 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LEyztE7Y8
stranger took the scythe in his hand and in an instant, the scythe had 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2pA1EsaI1
transformed into a knife. My heart had started to beat faster than it 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKc9oAtnGb
had when I had been frozen. I had to admit that I was scared and I tried751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeQ7yuVw4S
to scream for help, but it was no use. No one was here to help me and 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrR7aTF8w69
this stranger in front of me seemed to have made up his mind about what 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7RBZ9nfI0
he was going to do with me. At that moment, I prayed that all of what I 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvAoqLrX5J
was going through was just a bad dream.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhB2xnlKoVX
I continued to stare at 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9cB6IiM8k
the stranger in front of me, with a knife in hand. The hand around my 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHTZKHnSnm
neck tightened with every defying moment. I thought the stranger would 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdZtEL65E8
have a final say before he drove that knife into me, but there was 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fNLxI8JlK
nothing but silence between us. With all of my might, and with all the 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSWHe6geR6
pain and coldness inside of me, I had forced myself to speak:751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OnQY9lFkT
“Plea…..please……do…..don’t do this,” cold mist escaped my lips as I spoke. “What wrong have I done to deserve this?”751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0Oj3CjAzk
A cold deafening voice 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrRW5XVSbv
echoed around me from the stranger who had held me captive, it was a 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBLGYZPhof
voice that could have sent anyone running for their lives:751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPql376d6B6
“Your time has come, Diana. This is your destiny and how it all ends!”751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhF7PWHqbI
Before I could say 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnJGgMrpwz
anything else, the knife quickly drove through my chest and I had felt 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvIENP6hAp
the piercing pain. Even though I was frozen I could feel the warm blood 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKS4qBhnmF
flow out of my body and its coppery smell filled the air. I looked down 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡws6RRk8xNT
on my chest and I saw the red smear of blood staining my shirt. The 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgc2KAR0oaw
knife was quickly removed from my chest and the stranger drove it again,751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldWTGWHIYT
this time into my stomach. This time I screamed out in endless pain and751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaVgyQIVq0
my scream echoed around the deep void. The stranger continued to stab 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQBSiKgH1B
me in so many places and I was left in antagonising pain that I 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAgsSL5fGo
continued to scream until I reached a point where I couldn’t scream any 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPh781hXFy
longer. I was numb with pain.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDarQ6YLWt9
My body soon felt limb 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKboxM69HB
and the next thing I knew I was on the floor and didn’t even know how I 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAk52DivSQP
had ended up down there. The stranger continued to look down at me as I 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTHFmfZd7U
was bleeding out to death. I didn’t feel the pain anymore, though I 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxKE3sPm8f
could feel something was living my body slowly. Was it my soul, I had 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSgjdR7QmK
wondered. My vision soon became blurry as images started flashing in my 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpzHpJ2hMC
mind. Were those my memories of the life I had once lived? At that 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf739kQv1hf
moment I couldn’t even think or tell what was real and what wasn’t. My 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwSWnLnbNS
brain was dying so as the rest of my body. I could really feel myself 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pkqZG7dB1
fading into who knows where.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUhLBYqfaJ
The stranger soon turned751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclhxMPFYhg
away from me with the knife in his hand which was covered in blood, in 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXISxgZnfO
my blood. As the stranger walked away, the knife in his hand soon turned751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1rcE4maWA
back into a scythe and the darkness swallowed the stranger out of 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWi1cC1sFq
sight. 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVrHqF70hm
And I was left in the darkness, in a pool of my own blood, as I breathed out my last. 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziDlyXf5p2
“Diana!”751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVqlWKgt8a
My eyes quickly flew 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Oc2J3uENo
open and for a moment, I was oblivious of my surrounding. I felt a hand 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1ob9KY07g
on my shoulder and Christine stood right in front of me with Amanda 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXh2nEHlOk
standing right behind her. They both had worried looks on their faces 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYBQQUKNiH
and I hoped it had nothing to do with me.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxemRsXoHl
“Why are you looking at me like that?” I asked.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcsgK7stYr
“We were wondering if you were alright,” Christine answered.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnBBSateJY
“I’m fine as you can 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83PR13RRbf
see. There is nothing to worry about,” I tried to sound as normal as 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZVltFjCTK
possible after what I had just remembered.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHyQaJZkyb
“It doesn’t seem that way to us,” Amanda said. The look on her face made me even more worried than they were.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vgUUqgfvo
“What do you mean?” I raised my eyebrow.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQGk6XLaXo
Amanda and Christine 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFcONqoLll
turned to look at each other, looking concerned. They went back to 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPl8sZaJJpJ
looking at me like I had just said something stupid.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizz77DZT5O
“Is someone going to tell me what’s up or do I have to play the guess game?” I snapped, growing impatient. 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwylCWDZwfb
“We came into the ward 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrpUy5e7Ay
and saw you seated on the bed with your eyes closed,” said Christine. 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1zDLe3EMb
“When we called out to you, you didn’t respond. When we shook you, you 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTnArZeaTS
didn’t do anything. You just sat there as though you were deep into 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKG5hiqTtKn
meditation. But when we touched your skin you were as cold as ice. So we751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQIZgTBufd
grew worried, calling your name and shaking you, but to no avail. We 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3gtR5wLUn
almost called for the nurse until your eyes flew open.”751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoFOjfFsDl
I sighed out in 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKa0axtunQs
frustration as I buried my head into my hands. This was not happening. 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBoeu23kk5
What was going on? I had died this morning but somehow came back to 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8fHd8ZAhP
life. And now, just trying to remember my death made me go into a dead 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoPyAhAaiq
state all over again.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPYNJoEi2C
“Hey, are you okay?” Christine asked. “What happened to you?”751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWWWIj6FAK
I looked up at my 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSKY3pA7xO
friends as they continued to stare down at me. I wasn’t quite sure 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7H8Vjg7Gw
whether to tell them that they had been right all along about this 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyj5g5SZPOZ
morning or just try to make up some excuse of a story. I finally decided751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchxduYEZnE
to tell them the truth. I wasn’t going to bear carrying this secret 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiEzoBT4Ko
around with me for long, so I sat upright and took a deep breath.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeiyUSkgnP
“Okay, I’ll tell you,” I751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcYqKt6Ktu
said, trying to build up my confidence. I closed my eyes and opened 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKTfWqk3G1
them. And before I could open my mouth to speak, something strange 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOeRy0tJhZ
happened.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBNLOhzLFh
A vision of the stranger751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTCNAt6bhG
in my dream had quickly appeared before my eyes. He still wore the same751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5L6iIjp2E
black cloak and hood. He had a knife in his hand. The same knife he had751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvNWwbuaGl
used to kill me. And it was all covered in blood and he was carrying 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFME5gdK7de
something wrapped around his arm. A body all covered in blood.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1cHkHQWjt
Christine’s body!751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYJUR0nnlg
Was all of this a sign 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hslA7nmNB
that I shouldn’t say anything? The vision had appeared out of nowhere, 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCHSLutXjB
and that meant something. I swallowed hard as I quickly thought of what 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24qyF5tn9h
to say next.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5veJCU5pLI
“I felt like I was 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdcOFw6J9q
coming down with something,” I lied. “I felt a little nauseous and I 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPm9WReJiXm
tried sitting up on the bed hoping the feeling would go away.”751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxJ2Te6m01
“But we called out to you a thousand times,” Amanda said. “Why didn’t you say anything?”751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vjunqcPAK
“I fell asleep,” I answered. “You know sometimes I fall asleep while I sit upright. I do so in class.”751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cAlLgHHY5
That was probably the 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVf2WUtAdME
worst lie I have ever uttered in my entire life. I don’t how know how 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPblaJFWNM
those words came out of my mouth, but they did. I continued to look up 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RPbvS0kFz
at my friends and I prayed that they would believe what I had just said.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbI7XNGrt2u
I had to admit, what I had said was pretty cheeky. I wasn’t going to be751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEw8nnxDGU1
surprised if they didn’t believe me.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWGt071GiA
“Oh, thank goodness,” said Christine in relief, placing her hand over her chest. “For a moment you had us all worried.”751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqh9vTzSow
I quickly raised my left eyebrow. She believed that?751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9Wj8OBMHw
“Yes, me too,” said Amanda. “You shouldn’t scare us like that. What happened in the morning was more than enough.”751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfC1AI8Tq2
“I was just feeling tired and sick, that’s all,” I said, as I pretended to yawn.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7N3wbQj0b
“Okay, well the time we 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Dg06VfCOc
brought you here to the clinic the doctor attended to you and said 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3jlSzhshE
nothing was wrong with you, you just had low blood pressure,” Christine 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpq5l9ITRPu
said.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjbfSSoGyI
“I thought I was coming down with malaria,” I said.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDFttc1GxF
“Well, I’m just glad 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6RH8r0yV0
you’re okay. Our dorm mates were really worried about you when you had 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGIA4pWNVZ
fainted,” said Amanda. “They will be glad to see that you’re okay.”751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iWY7BW5x8
“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.”751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDoxdX68H9
“Whoa, hold on right 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdmCoWfJ85
there!” Christine held my shoulders and pushed me back on the bed. “You 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmD2JDvPu41
are not going anywhere, my friend. The doctor said so.”751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdX1YVFm9R
“But why? I’m perfectly fine,” I whined.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvGej1THSl
“You need to run through751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh13dCe1gJj
some checkups just in case this doesn’t become serious,” said Amanda. 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQ2jgeGtY3
“Looks like you have to stay here until tomorrow.” 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxz7UaoiC8e
Tomorrow! The clinic was751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAg2hKBcAwZ
the last place I wanted to stay in, and better yet, all alone without 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5txRvB042G
my friends. I soon started to think of the worst. What if the stranger 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhk9rdqNLZB
came after me again? And this time, in real life chasing me around the 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOxrUtTQW7
clinic with his deadly scythe? I swallowed hard as I imagined all of 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZpgpUtiRC
that even happening.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBuzZOJATD
“I can’t stay here,” I continued to protest. “I’m perfectly fine. Tell the doctor to come and check up on me again.”751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVEjxz2aK0
“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.”751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuPiRgb5SQ
“But all of this is 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBt89ieO4EX
ridiculous. It’s just low blood pressure and you’re acting as though I 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZAwwRcl4c
have AIDS,” I was getting rather impatient. “Or is there something 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpQ6dOI5yE
you’re not telling me?”751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7INTTdZgoc
“I don’t know, you have 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bEhEDjTSp
to ask the doctor that. He said you can’t go back to school until you’re751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhq1xbXcUyd
perfectly fine,” said Christine. “You better ask him why.”751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHYEN6HwI4
“Okay, where is he?” I quickly stood up, getting ready to see the doctor myself.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxY6VQfDD6
“He is busy with other patients at the moment,” said Christine. “You just have to wait and that will be like till evening.”751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQHzqHyNBI
I hate to admit it, but 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLCkwiRNRu
Christine was right. There were a number of patients who came into this 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Fy3bds3EF
hospital each and every day. And considering this place to be rural 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVoLBuI0IC
area, a lot of people were prone to capture some tropical diseases and 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQtde1gmGy
others. And there weren’t many doctors in the clinic to attend to all 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUwUIesOf7
those in need of treatment. I just had to be considerate enough and give751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzscScOlcI
the doctor some time until he checked up on me again. I just sat down 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7y6vV5yqd
on my bed in defeat.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9juLa6M2c
“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.”751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmatZnJKQQ
“Speaking of class, the 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbtBtUbw2S
time for our break is almost up. We better leave,” said Amanda. “I don’t751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIa2rVsG7u
want to be late and end up on the offenders’ list.”751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhzMEliBl3
“You guys go ahead,” I said. “I will get your books tomorrow and copy the notes.”751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJUwOp7V7i
“Alright, take care of yourself. We might come back in the evening to say goodnight,” said Christine.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1Wz9ESKQb
“Okay,” I said dully as I751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡencWeQpHRW
lay down on the bed. It was going to be pretty boring without my 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKk0wfmX695
friends around and I sighed as they left the room. I was left completely751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixI50oA4Z6
alone in the ward staring at the blank white ceiling above me.
