I finally remember.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOj9VnoEKx
My eyes quickly flew 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcebN4IGrZQ
open as a sudden sense of familiarity came over me. I was at the school 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ794Vs0c5zH
clinic and as I sat up on the bed, I realised that the ward was empty. 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqmNaZoaNQ
The white coloured walls greeted me with warmth as the sun rays 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWDdUftyFS
reflecting through the windows gave the room a wonderful glow. As I took744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMCIuVD5mO
in the warmth, everything came back to me. I had fainted in the 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KwnYNHq5t
orchard. That wasn’t the only thing that I remembered. There was a whole744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaF4fqWXgc
lot to it than I had realised.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsvyiu1Pu2
“I now remember,” I said aloud to the empty ward.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGapu7i0VWl
Everything came back to 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXM8hBUFoa
me in flash like it had in the orchard when I saw the mysterious 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnY0Z6NJju1
stranger who was standing behind Amanda. When I had looked at the 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1gCblWSbg
stranger, I finally remembered what had happened to me when those images744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntum8nBy2V
came running into my mind. I now remember what had happened to me 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0GrWA0AP3
before I woke up this morning. I hated to say this to myself, but 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFJxEOtMvQ
Christine was right. Something was wrong with me and it had started all 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJaJGXHRGq
the way from the time I had failed to wake up this morning until now. As744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU76otssVuK
I tried to go through what I could recall from the images that had run 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFIQqCSPwV
into my head earlier, I felt I was hit in the face with a reality check.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5TAdRO7yl
I had died in my sleep.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71031bdDQ6
“You didn’t even budge at all. It was like you were dead or something.”744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uoCPMQIEC
“I was there when 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05jtO4kmKF
Christine tried to wake you up. You didn’t even move an inch. You just 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFkN883DdA
laid there. And you looked, I don’t know, dead.”744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kgxHuzA0B
I recalled what 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfWDOWWkd1
Christine and Amanda had told me earlier. They were right and what I 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4URvfLS3u
could remember proved it all. I had died in my sleep and as far as I 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyqLQ4tlf7
could remember, only one person knew why. The stranger who came to the 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGq6X2bkT76
orchard was the same person in my dreams. And surprisingly, the same 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbFM5A2GcX
stranger was the one who took my life.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLCqbERHfn
I closed my eyes and 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuCStbp9Dp
everything became clear as I remembered what had happened to me in my 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYvXykiOSz
dreams. Everything around me was empty and dark. I couldn’t even tell if744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIRjMcfBBA
I was floating in the air in the deep void of nothingness or if I had 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKR64zAdgJg
my feet planted to the floor. There was no sign of life, light or any 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMgDm7Gf4F
object I could feel or grab onto. I was nowhere, in a place where things744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAsD4x24A4
never existed.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HWOPo6Ucc
Then, out of nowhere, 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsccdpTqARK
something had appeared right before my eyes, a few feet away from me. 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQJ9ZXMc19
For a moment I couldn’t tell what it was because it was too dark and the744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQHYB1pqxI
same object that had appeared before seemed to be covered in a black 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCarLR6hRx
cloth that swirled around as if there was the presence of wind when it 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Uf09PRW2x
actually wasn’t there. I adjusted my eyes a little more to see more 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjYob48kKu
clearly. The object was kind of tall and before I could have realised it744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oO0vZvVZs
sooner, the object that stood before me was a human being in a black 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZH3adsGOb0
long cloak. And whoever it was was facing my direction looking at me. I 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBSBKGrHfY
couldn’t see eyes or even a face underneath the hood; it was dark, dark 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2rVdXQVJI
as the environment around us. For a moment, it seemed like we were just 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWlPEc4L9H
staring at each other until I got a feeling in me that this person in 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5TJnruu0h
front of me was creeping me out. The air around us started to get cold 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScMq0Adn70
and each second that passed became colder and colder. At some point I 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquq014lTFl
breathed out air and an icy cold mist escaped from my nostrils. It was 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1UilXVYk9
definitely getting cold and it felt like I was stuck in a freezer. I 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIkfaPlyns
started to shiver so violently and when I looked at my hands, they were 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpL4CazIEM
icy blue. My hands soon felt numb from the cold, so did my face and legs744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJb2lVEtc7F
too. In a matter of minutes, my body had turned cold and blue. My body 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDRxEcRpW5
had become numb with cold and at that moment, my legs gave way and I 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qPw639lEM
fell to the cold floor which had suddenly turned into a hard cold layer 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpd9kepdpr
of ice. I tried to move, but I was so still. The nerves in my body 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTXqWcARL2
seemed to have frozen up too but it was a wonder how my brain was still 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjcLO4mM0p
functioning because I was completely aware of what was going on and I 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoL95JZOyeC
could see the stranger in the dark cloak just staring back at me not 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYh4EiARpjb
doing anything to help.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5wJSnnYgG
I tried moving my icy 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrP5NxmfaW
blue lips, but it was no use. I couldn’t even feel them. My lungs had 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQE33HQUCsX
stung with pain inside me and I was scared that they were going to stop 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTU678Vs6cQ
functioning right there and then. What kept my hopes up was the beating 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDORTlv4dqB
of my heart; though I could hear every heart beat grow faint as the 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKIEmh6nmp
coldness in me took over. I continued to stare at the stranger in front 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAowxTRztC
of me, praying that he could do something to help me.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡto0DKhxHRS
As though my thoughts 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3D05499o5
had finally been heard, the stranger took a step closer towards me. For a744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswdPAQf0XT
moment, I finally felt that everything was going to be alright and I 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13BHLzZ60m
was going to be saved. When the stranger had finally come close enough 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8rMWRxkYh
to help, my eyes flew to the hood trying to see if I could see the 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Z0fEIRXLR
stranger’s face, but I still couldn’t see a thing. The stranger 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5ekDWE4OT
continued to look down at me and even though I couldn’t see any facial 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcI1nym7Rc
features under the hood, I could feel the stranger’s eyes on me. When I 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSL4UDO0KlB
had hoped that the stranger was going to help me, that hope was soon 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWy54WkPOI9
replaced with fear in an instant, even in the frozen state I was in. My 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgJ8IS6GRF
eyes bulged out in fear and I prayed in my heart for at least my nerves 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ125mdqUpaH
to kick start again and I would be able to get away from this stranger 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9ouooJ5X4
who I didn’t even know.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutSxjLKT8Y
As I continued to pray 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR581Q3UJDG
to myself, the stranger soon knelt to the floor on one knee and the fear744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhK32nQbE2v
in me almost ended my fading heart. The stranger quickly stretched out 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡha4qDFtPqr
his hand and held my cold neck. I could feel the strong hand grip 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUFV7yKptb
tightly around my neck and he was choking me out with the little air I 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVoI7pA2lR
could take in my cold state. When the stranger slowly stood, he was 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGX9S7qenh
dragging me upwards along with him. We were now staring at each other. I744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjf2GKBZdO
could still feel the stranger’s gaze on me because it felt like needles744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRbc7HLM9h
were pierced into my eyes. I continued to stare back into the dark void744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Lqe7ah6SP
under the hood feeling helpless. I wondered what this person was going 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFhQSKY0ik
to do to me.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEh0Sb86C0i
Soon, a scythe appeared 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEKOnWKlv7
out of nowhere and it stood right beside the stranger in mid-air. The 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczU1YDlTEZ
stranger took the scythe in his hand and in an instant, the scythe had 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoDVIl0rpM
transformed into a knife. My heart had started to beat faster than it 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1q0pOhjTET
had when I had been frozen. I had to admit that I was scared and I tried744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIS1OAq8uTX
to scream for help, but it was no use. No one was here to help me and 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9AmOV3ES4
this stranger in front of me seemed to have made up his mind about what 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2ISaaWRBL
he was going to do with me. At that moment, I prayed that all of what I 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdKdrzdBZ1
was going through was just a bad dream.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgKDwk9MCQ
I continued to stare at 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGeuQQzeXO
the stranger in front of me, with a knife in hand. The hand around my 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmo8oRENa2t
neck tightened with every defying moment. I thought the stranger would 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sGsXkEiOq
have a final say before he drove that knife into me, but there was 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zjUQKbKQv
nothing but silence between us. With all of my might, and with all the 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoksa810XTO
pain and coldness inside of me, I had forced myself to speak:744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrAfLR5qxQ
“Plea…..please……do…..don’t do this,” cold mist escaped my lips as I spoke. “What wrong have I done to deserve this?”744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8uDA43GSO
A cold deafening voice 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGjvtU2mBo
echoed around me from the stranger who had held me captive, it was a 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOeKo1sFwe
voice that could have sent anyone running for their lives:744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRILMfXteM
“Your time has come, Diana. This is your destiny and how it all ends!”744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCy187RdOHQ
Before I could say 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdKYQYLXl5
anything else, the knife quickly drove through my chest and I had felt 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlW8GxHHk4R
the piercing pain. Even though I was frozen I could feel the warm blood 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZarzINUrTD
flow out of my body and its coppery smell filled the air. I looked down 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13tJ1qpnl5
on my chest and I saw the red smear of blood staining my shirt. The 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqnYiNbpgC
knife was quickly removed from my chest and the stranger drove it again,744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHDFC77HbP
this time into my stomach. This time I screamed out in endless pain and744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5KjdLk2cT
my scream echoed around the deep void. The stranger continued to stab 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILPlejVwQn
me in so many places and I was left in antagonising pain that I 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdh2lww8dI
continued to scream until I reached a point where I couldn’t scream any 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAhEgFVuuA
longer. I was numb with pain.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouXgTIDv9s
My body soon felt limb 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOjDgEgRqS
and the next thing I knew I was on the floor and didn’t even know how I 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKFegrZQ6a
had ended up down there. The stranger continued to look down at me as I 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuxak2g08v
was bleeding out to death. I didn’t feel the pain anymore, though I 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMxoidCMWN
could feel something was living my body slowly. Was it my soul, I had 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1IHT68KMw
wondered. My vision soon became blurry as images started flashing in my 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvwcSe1PHr
mind. Were those my memories of the life I had once lived? At that 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ013C0Gy66r
moment I couldn’t even think or tell what was real and what wasn’t. My 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAP2byEqR9E
brain was dying so as the rest of my body. I could really feel myself 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60Bu2NB3I1
fading into who knows where.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2ajGK18K4
The stranger soon turned744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWC9E3v1lM
away from me with the knife in his hand which was covered in blood, in 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7cFzAB9Mu
my blood. As the stranger walked away, the knife in his hand soon turned744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AbLB5YEjx
back into a scythe and the darkness swallowed the stranger out of 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHu1DKmuOJ
sight. 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVPOJ014oo
And I was left in the darkness, in a pool of my own blood, as I breathed out my last. 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhaehFtlVB
“Diana!”744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0UxkBa49n
My eyes quickly flew 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lWwlyihyo
open and for a moment, I was oblivious of my surrounding. I felt a hand 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspQkr2XwMs
on my shoulder and Christine stood right in front of me with Amanda 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcq4btliTdt
standing right behind her. They both had worried looks on their faces 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQT0zW7DRm
and I hoped it had nothing to do with me.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi53fqqOxU0
“Why are you looking at me like that?” I asked.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GoEg3RyIX
“We were wondering if you were alright,” Christine answered.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg36f6leG5Z
“I’m fine as you can 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXfOMicguM
see. There is nothing to worry about,” I tried to sound as normal as 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAehB54pQT
possible after what I had just remembered.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnyYtKhWvU
“It doesn’t seem that way to us,” Amanda said. The look on her face made me even more worried than they were.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wuhUFTexm
“What do you mean?” I raised my eyebrow.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUOA4I6vFX
Amanda and Christine 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8zny2MXge
turned to look at each other, looking concerned. They went back to 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoQzoGnNdg
looking at me like I had just said something stupid.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0iN81koT8
“Is someone going to tell me what’s up or do I have to play the guess game?” I snapped, growing impatient. 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VOf5qNEhV
“We came into the ward 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAFh3Nk0Gd
and saw you seated on the bed with your eyes closed,” said Christine. 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnaiWMXpwz
“When we called out to you, you didn’t respond. When we shook you, you 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1R0xij7JWY
didn’t do anything. You just sat there as though you were deep into 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyvBWa2ABc
meditation. But when we touched your skin you were as cold as ice. So we744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyT5TbpmEE
grew worried, calling your name and shaking you, but to no avail. We 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVZcfO3ShE
almost called for the nurse until your eyes flew open.”744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIOeox2N2u
I sighed out in 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pBaeNBvLn
frustration as I buried my head into my hands. This was not happening. 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuQPCMqcBT
What was going on? I had died this morning but somehow came back to 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoq7GdTxw4
life. And now, just trying to remember my death made me go into a dead 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9kuFQHiPG
state all over again.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtG8CWnvgCo
“Hey, are you okay?” Christine asked. “What happened to you?”744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKSk809cLI
I looked up at my 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXsp5XJmUj
friends as they continued to stare down at me. I wasn’t quite sure 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lKf9GVaBQ
whether to tell them that they had been right all along about this 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIaGhh3W57
morning or just try to make up some excuse of a story. I finally decided744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0C06j5vyoJ
to tell them the truth. I wasn’t going to bear carrying this secret 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpWycxLJxc
around with me for long, so I sat upright and took a deep breath.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1EFWMbP4T
“Okay, I’ll tell you,” I744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdOGfVqByd
said, trying to build up my confidence. I closed my eyes and opened 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJuihCXqBA
them. And before I could open my mouth to speak, something strange 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIpFRg8ZWn
happened.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnC08KXFC8x
A vision of the stranger744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0AuGbXmk4
in my dream had quickly appeared before my eyes. He still wore the same744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbbF7NgXsS
black cloak and hood. He had a knife in his hand. The same knife he had744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3D34PgvRp
used to kill me. And it was all covered in blood and he was carrying 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBOlA67WPN
something wrapped around his arm. A body all covered in blood.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsodjPiOho
Christine’s body!744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJkSBgnJh0
Was all of this a sign 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vQJA5YHYK
that I shouldn’t say anything? The vision had appeared out of nowhere, 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMwbvcE2vX
and that meant something. I swallowed hard as I quickly thought of what 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbtMV599pG
to say next.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanGHeC9nfE
“I felt like I was 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzK6KPEaJC
coming down with something,” I lied. “I felt a little nauseous and I 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBT5DMwMIgC
tried sitting up on the bed hoping the feeling would go away.”744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjr7UQZEr0
“But we called out to you a thousand times,” Amanda said. “Why didn’t you say anything?”744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrxvGQU2Hh
“I fell asleep,” I answered. “You know sometimes I fall asleep while I sit upright. I do so in class.”744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLqaqG8APp
That was probably the 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOYiRg85Kb
worst lie I have ever uttered in my entire life. I don’t how know how 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡow2nxpRmKZ
those words came out of my mouth, but they did. I continued to look up 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6jUrvO3d5
at my friends and I prayed that they would believe what I had just said.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyVJtd9jBw
I had to admit, what I had said was pretty cheeky. I wasn’t going to be744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyxlRTUORc
surprised if they didn’t believe me.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbkRNiR4j6
“Oh, thank goodness,” said Christine in relief, placing her hand over her chest. “For a moment you had us all worried.”744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXiFurcC9J
I quickly raised my left eyebrow. She believed that?744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiq864FFVuG
“Yes, me too,” said Amanda. “You shouldn’t scare us like that. What happened in the morning was more than enough.”744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mD7VKEfCY
“I was just feeling tired and sick, that’s all,” I said, as I pretended to yawn.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETlJxfDazR
“Okay, well the time we 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTVaDij4Ww
brought you here to the clinic the doctor attended to you and said 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmdlyaPuPs
nothing was wrong with you, you just had low blood pressure,” Christine 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAFfuGr3pn
said.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbzMe6AhBK
“I thought I was coming down with malaria,” I said.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGVPMw5MZP
“Well, I’m just glad 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLYiB4hW1t
you’re okay. Our dorm mates were really worried about you when you had 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrUVECtZer
fainted,” said Amanda. “They will be glad to see that you’re okay.”744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJ7jocItdl
“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.”744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPa5HRUZPy
“Whoa, hold on right 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkdkw2YkyE
there!” Christine held my shoulders and pushed me back on the bed. “You 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPMXWaTZ4E
are not going anywhere, my friend. The doctor said so.”744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKqZO2uUyP
“But why? I’m perfectly fine,” I whined.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ilJrylkDn
“You need to run through744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4X6Heh2DwG
some checkups just in case this doesn’t become serious,” said Amanda. 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqWIemEiVd
“Looks like you have to stay here until tomorrow.” 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjn0raJyQh
Tomorrow! The clinic was744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduLzNrdLND
the last place I wanted to stay in, and better yet, all alone without 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBuXnDvpCV
my friends. I soon started to think of the worst. What if the stranger 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfeWosUphy
came after me again? And this time, in real life chasing me around the 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCJSiaLYO0
clinic with his deadly scythe? I swallowed hard as I imagined all of 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgsQYZOZjt
that even happening.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHyjeUs790
“I can’t stay here,” I continued to protest. “I’m perfectly fine. Tell the doctor to come and check up on me again.”744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcBDTZQREv
“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.”744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmHeQqUwcA
“But all of this is 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEbMrGltB4
ridiculous. It’s just low blood pressure and you’re acting as though I 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQ85pdKSGG
have AIDS,” I was getting rather impatient. “Or is there something 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsw68zNbGE
you’re not telling me?”744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaPaumQGGQ
“I don’t know, you have 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXY9n2e4QG
to ask the doctor that. He said you can’t go back to school until you’re744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKo8w3dQRtF
perfectly fine,” said Christine. “You better ask him why.”744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLhdUM7Bbu
“Okay, where is he?” I quickly stood up, getting ready to see the doctor myself.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sKbLbFeBi
“He is busy with other patients at the moment,” said Christine. “You just have to wait and that will be like till evening.”744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNskPsASnLT
I hate to admit it, but 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmFCLi3uCh
Christine was right. There were a number of patients who came into this 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxXkJT52tA
hospital each and every day. And considering this place to be rural 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYc2SrC5j7t
area, a lot of people were prone to capture some tropical diseases and 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrscqcjWD6B
others. And there weren’t many doctors in the clinic to attend to all 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHc6JyUvZO
those in need of treatment. I just had to be considerate enough and give744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdrymbSNRo
the doctor some time until he checked up on me again. I just sat down 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsT2shb5m5c
on my bed in defeat.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pcAv0XXNF
“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.”744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuvdBslC5k
“Speaking of class, the 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbm89pxtj2
time for our break is almost up. We better leave,” said Amanda. “I don’t744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxU2lN0uXus
want to be late and end up on the offenders’ list.”744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItlY5dyld4
“You guys go ahead,” I said. “I will get your books tomorrow and copy the notes.”744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTgWQJ2f37
“Alright, take care of yourself. We might come back in the evening to say goodnight,” said Christine.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAUE5pcnJ3
“Okay,” I said dully as I744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWZED8evN3
lay down on the bed. It was going to be pretty boring without my 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVbOWIdtzU
friends around and I sighed as they left the room. I was left completely744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnByoG0GIvR
alone in the ward staring at the blank white ceiling above me.
