I finally remember.665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1q1fbhSg6
My eyes quickly flew 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mtFoffTdu
open as a sudden sense of familiarity came over me. I was at the school 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1im1fY2plQ
clinic and as I sat up on the bed, I realised that the ward was empty. 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLePV0CnsZy
The white coloured walls greeted me with warmth as the sun rays 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9DjAybtEf
reflecting through the windows gave the room a wonderful glow. As I took665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwrNz7rY8t
in the warmth, everything came back to me. I had fainted in the 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDPFccDb2E
orchard. That wasn’t the only thing that I remembered. There was a whole665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaOYhWpcJn
lot to it than I had realised.665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEThKDucNFr
“I now remember,” I said aloud to the empty ward.665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURANEZogjO
Everything came back to 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbP4XslKaKJ
me in flash like it had in the orchard when I saw the mysterious 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNmeCwpmCg
stranger who was standing behind Amanda. When I had looked at the 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdtxg0fzO6
stranger, I finally remembered what had happened to me when those images665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZizicrHuA
came running into my mind. I now remember what had happened to me 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvO1FEQPE8
before I woke up this morning. I hated to say this to myself, but 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9tZKQww6x
Christine was right. Something was wrong with me and it had started all 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMEgmftTK2
the way from the time I had failed to wake up this morning until now. As665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPX5rltt5A
I tried to go through what I could recall from the images that had run 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYD815Uxlg
into my head earlier, I felt I was hit in the face with a reality check.665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhdIr2tWnG
I had died in my sleep.665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88y8TKtkUc
“You didn’t even budge at all. It was like you were dead or something.”665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtwyC8q1nk
“I was there when 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhLDMMU2cG
Christine tried to wake you up. You didn’t even move an inch. You just 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4Fyv0I97C
laid there. And you looked, I don’t know, dead.”665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdvhOavQ7t
I recalled what 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbawB6d2F1
Christine and Amanda had told me earlier. They were right and what I 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeI0MR7aSL
could remember proved it all. I had died in my sleep and as far as I 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6RjBtvkdR
could remember, only one person knew why. The stranger who came to the 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cwzDW8dZv
orchard was the same person in my dreams. And surprisingly, the same 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNjyVzMWEx
stranger was the one who took my life.665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nDjiMlFuW
I closed my eyes and 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIW0PIkBFu
everything became clear as I remembered what had happened to me in my 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiZAKNLcfH
dreams. Everything around me was empty and dark. I couldn’t even tell if665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljmzHQRn8F
I was floating in the air in the deep void of nothingness or if I had 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWSfocGqps
my feet planted to the floor. There was no sign of life, light or any 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWLcFC0Fg8
object I could feel or grab onto. I was nowhere, in a place where things665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEiSdpl5c4
never existed.665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOI5c4v6aO
Then, out of nowhere, 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0TD3e6MIj
something had appeared right before my eyes, a few feet away from me. 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcqAjSTzhU
For a moment I couldn’t tell what it was because it was too dark and the665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMirPvcdB3
same object that had appeared before seemed to be covered in a black 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutEBEYW5Z7
cloth that swirled around as if there was the presence of wind when it 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyC6XmfrJ0
actually wasn’t there. I adjusted my eyes a little more to see more 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lvCADJDVZ
clearly. The object was kind of tall and before I could have realised it665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdmUClWVun
sooner, the object that stood before me was a human being in a black 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6byaqrxaK
long cloak. And whoever it was was facing my direction looking at me. I 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjFl8bj710
couldn’t see eyes or even a face underneath the hood; it was dark, dark 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgC9L0LlJHj
as the environment around us. For a moment, it seemed like we were just 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFKEtuxvZx
staring at each other until I got a feeling in me that this person in 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZID1sQ9HDP
front of me was creeping me out. The air around us started to get cold 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEDjNnEAuc
and each second that passed became colder and colder. At some point I 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaK38rFwd6S
breathed out air and an icy cold mist escaped from my nostrils. It was 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQFfFyad4R
definitely getting cold and it felt like I was stuck in a freezer. I 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCzD6Hr7QF
started to shiver so violently and when I looked at my hands, they were 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUd4CnbuOL
icy blue. My hands soon felt numb from the cold, so did my face and legs665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2bRpk2YU3
too. In a matter of minutes, my body had turned cold and blue. My body 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfG03Mukqgp
had become numb with cold and at that moment, my legs gave way and I 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdfawlKsLv
fell to the cold floor which had suddenly turned into a hard cold layer 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvfO08j68g
of ice. I tried to move, but I was so still. The nerves in my body 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrZc09RnUM
seemed to have frozen up too but it was a wonder how my brain was still 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA42fkGuLJr
functioning because I was completely aware of what was going on and I 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolalagdA6Q
could see the stranger in the dark cloak just staring back at me not 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZVRsTnFX6
doing anything to help.665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7CeNxnR6b
I tried moving my icy 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKV7Al0DZV
blue lips, but it was no use. I couldn’t even feel them. My lungs had 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYqUr7mkTD
stung with pain inside me and I was scared that they were going to stop 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrrrdarkbt
functioning right there and then. What kept my hopes up was the beating 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUhurox5ID
of my heart; though I could hear every heart beat grow faint as the 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PlBWr31Ja
coldness in me took over. I continued to stare at the stranger in front 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTEkMy6kRP
of me, praying that he could do something to help me.665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTEamdeKM1
As though my thoughts 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXsLcg1G18
had finally been heard, the stranger took a step closer towards me. For a665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3kGWWswcJ
moment, I finally felt that everything was going to be alright and I 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vtKwiFiy9
was going to be saved. When the stranger had finally come close enough 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98k0FEHrnP
to help, my eyes flew to the hood trying to see if I could see the 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrm3hVgjng
stranger’s face, but I still couldn’t see a thing. The stranger 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KUvwzAcNu
continued to look down at me and even though I couldn’t see any facial 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qKNI9BZR9
features under the hood, I could feel the stranger’s eyes on me. When I 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHtDwR3myt
had hoped that the stranger was going to help me, that hope was soon 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySCj3J5kci
replaced with fear in an instant, even in the frozen state I was in. My 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEmsJ843h8
eyes bulged out in fear and I prayed in my heart for at least my nerves 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa30IbtLaTr
to kick start again and I would be able to get away from this stranger 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSs7tLUS9wc
who I didn’t even know.665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48OvnINPiA
As I continued to pray 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXZUMYFyLR
to myself, the stranger soon knelt to the floor on one knee and the fear665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEu1XwlcOzd
in me almost ended my fading heart. The stranger quickly stretched out 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlY1zxM7Pc
his hand and held my cold neck. I could feel the strong hand grip 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrSzioy5HN
tightly around my neck and he was choking me out with the little air I 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrdC1qtnPC
could take in my cold state. When the stranger slowly stood, he was 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0A08U2iku
dragging me upwards along with him. We were now staring at each other. I665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyzEN5Hiay
could still feel the stranger’s gaze on me because it felt like needles665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLu7kHaNr1
were pierced into my eyes. I continued to stare back into the dark void665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBz3B1fYyzx
under the hood feeling helpless. I wondered what this person was going 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIZfknd9RY
to do to me.665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIQwG8Iiss
Soon, a scythe appeared 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyycyDj54v
out of nowhere and it stood right beside the stranger in mid-air. The 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4389yRdzsl
stranger took the scythe in his hand and in an instant, the scythe had 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW33wtdsYWL
transformed into a knife. My heart had started to beat faster than it 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7w9Wc4u3E
had when I had been frozen. I had to admit that I was scared and I tried665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSvNZyW96C
to scream for help, but it was no use. No one was here to help me and 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRMu66UGe1
this stranger in front of me seemed to have made up his mind about what 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwXOkL7KlG
he was going to do with me. At that moment, I prayed that all of what I 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUE7eb9vuBc
was going through was just a bad dream.665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYQC7QQQXE
I continued to stare at 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTD46pk9Oo
the stranger in front of me, with a knife in hand. The hand around my 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pVqZ4Xt8P
neck tightened with every defying moment. I thought the stranger would 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsocmWyg1Qy
have a final say before he drove that knife into me, but there was 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklorjCUN0E
nothing but silence between us. With all of my might, and with all the 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbLSKOVp3z
pain and coldness inside of me, I had forced myself to speak:665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZdJebGHmx
“Plea…..please……do…..don’t do this,” cold mist escaped my lips as I spoke. “What wrong have I done to deserve this?”665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6J2A8B9Bz
A cold deafening voice 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHuzJQamSf
echoed around me from the stranger who had held me captive, it was a 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fQ3ACgNb5
voice that could have sent anyone running for their lives:665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRSFc55c6C
“Your time has come, Diana. This is your destiny and how it all ends!”665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLM53lcNfwL
Before I could say 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQNjtVkEgI
anything else, the knife quickly drove through my chest and I had felt 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5mmPrwUF5
the piercing pain. Even though I was frozen I could feel the warm blood 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfWMFtJGr4
flow out of my body and its coppery smell filled the air. I looked down 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYHig5EDfR
on my chest and I saw the red smear of blood staining my shirt. The 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjZyMIQxQt
knife was quickly removed from my chest and the stranger drove it again,665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT24atGWtEJ
this time into my stomach. This time I screamed out in endless pain and665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yEsD2AUId
my scream echoed around the deep void. The stranger continued to stab 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOU0hlqnH1
me in so many places and I was left in antagonising pain that I 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxNerBmv0F
continued to scream until I reached a point where I couldn’t scream any 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVrXxtdYWV
longer. I was numb with pain.665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplHKvJV2E8
My body soon felt limb 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmfESQcN9I
and the next thing I knew I was on the floor and didn’t even know how I 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYbgIuz4pj
had ended up down there. The stranger continued to look down at me as I 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcE2LXTkK2u
was bleeding out to death. I didn’t feel the pain anymore, though I 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNHfG9lrSe
could feel something was living my body slowly. Was it my soul, I had 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cWHfcQKI3
wondered. My vision soon became blurry as images started flashing in my 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBH8CuyL5G
mind. Were those my memories of the life I had once lived? At that 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOU9ofkEtk
moment I couldn’t even think or tell what was real and what wasn’t. My 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGj0FeU6Ckp
brain was dying so as the rest of my body. I could really feel myself 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCgBbkIwN9
fading into who knows where.665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2akb2I62G
The stranger soon turned665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwk8tu79vz
away from me with the knife in his hand which was covered in blood, in 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPKMmd7dFs
my blood. As the stranger walked away, the knife in his hand soon turned665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSxOmgCbQx
back into a scythe and the darkness swallowed the stranger out of 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zS8jaUbXm
sight. 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROnyQODq9n
And I was left in the darkness, in a pool of my own blood, as I breathed out my last. 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaevenWtePU
“Diana!”665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcLmYGBndb
My eyes quickly flew 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSeV7CGvLt
open and for a moment, I was oblivious of my surrounding. I felt a hand 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVRbpMBQBo
on my shoulder and Christine stood right in front of me with Amanda 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQy1WwhIb7
standing right behind her. They both had worried looks on their faces 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuObuEkSNta
and I hoped it had nothing to do with me.665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfExI6MJLcU
“Why are you looking at me like that?” I asked.665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZKhoXMuIq
“We were wondering if you were alright,” Christine answered.665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4FDVMxUoR
“I’m fine as you can 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGxlgpeRQE
see. There is nothing to worry about,” I tried to sound as normal as 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Hvh8TCvXP
possible after what I had just remembered.665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5YXtxc6qF
“It doesn’t seem that way to us,” Amanda said. The look on her face made me even more worried than they were.665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJr47HilH59
“What do you mean?” I raised my eyebrow.665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7eHTb6XQ7
Amanda and Christine 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXVD0BrafT
turned to look at each other, looking concerned. They went back to 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgTvIfzOiU
looking at me like I had just said something stupid.665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjAyGrwssH
“Is someone going to tell me what’s up or do I have to play the guess game?” I snapped, growing impatient. 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ768wB699jz
“We came into the ward 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5S0C30AkD
and saw you seated on the bed with your eyes closed,” said Christine. 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74LQyLQvoY
“When we called out to you, you didn’t respond. When we shook you, you 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ319oquACf2
didn’t do anything. You just sat there as though you were deep into 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrudRaU250
meditation. But when we touched your skin you were as cold as ice. So we665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVECklycGC
grew worried, calling your name and shaking you, but to no avail. We 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRimgAEJCtl
almost called for the nurse until your eyes flew open.”665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8PoQ3p7II
I sighed out in 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XIWeOxp3G
frustration as I buried my head into my hands. This was not happening. 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeDoCac3Jq
What was going on? I had died this morning but somehow came back to 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZqu1sBdhP
life. And now, just trying to remember my death made me go into a dead 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXr7jqW5sy
state all over again.665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZzMSNeQnn
“Hey, are you okay?” Christine asked. “What happened to you?”665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2u2MtRTTtQ
I looked up at my 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFevUepA9rM
friends as they continued to stare down at me. I wasn’t quite sure 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0Ni3wLSaR
whether to tell them that they had been right all along about this 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDl5XHU5xQ
morning or just try to make up some excuse of a story. I finally decided665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoNA4wuhKr
to tell them the truth. I wasn’t going to bear carrying this secret 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kZqO6D4tn
around with me for long, so I sat upright and took a deep breath.665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCZjntxbt6
“Okay, I’ll tell you,” I665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqI3tZmc5B
said, trying to build up my confidence. I closed my eyes and opened 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboGlzcuyYy
them. And before I could open my mouth to speak, something strange 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Nk6e97mb4
happened.665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLBjfbDiuf
A vision of the stranger665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVB9VBQSEGP
in my dream had quickly appeared before my eyes. He still wore the same665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtltcLhz6Gn
black cloak and hood. He had a knife in his hand. The same knife he had665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGd3yYAGwph
used to kill me. And it was all covered in blood and he was carrying 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpZvLz0Dt6
something wrapped around his arm. A body all covered in blood.665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZO8pn1l9N
Christine’s body!665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScL2PK66xc
Was all of this a sign 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93gDdGuYHS
that I shouldn’t say anything? The vision had appeared out of nowhere, 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4s5EKsIrVP
and that meant something. I swallowed hard as I quickly thought of what 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6AI9ALnky
to say next.665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31ALBSNZeB
“I felt like I was 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlD4vEQTmbU
coming down with something,” I lied. “I felt a little nauseous and I 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuQ1SQwcyY
tried sitting up on the bed hoping the feeling would go away.”665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQm7epTwOYt
“But we called out to you a thousand times,” Amanda said. “Why didn’t you say anything?”665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6fF0X4Svt
“I fell asleep,” I answered. “You know sometimes I fall asleep while I sit upright. I do so in class.”665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqpVYbkLXI
That was probably the 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoINJWwR18c
worst lie I have ever uttered in my entire life. I don’t how know how 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzQVLupCZL
those words came out of my mouth, but they did. I continued to look up 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFzxL4WRFO
at my friends and I prayed that they would believe what I had just said.665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71rAeA8g6Y
I had to admit, what I had said was pretty cheeky. I wasn’t going to be665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkj7wBJ8z0
surprised if they didn’t believe me.665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuk3Ei7J93
“Oh, thank goodness,” said Christine in relief, placing her hand over her chest. “For a moment you had us all worried.”665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbrBEYJjlt
I quickly raised my left eyebrow. She believed that?665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoANJ5GMa4
“Yes, me too,” said Amanda. “You shouldn’t scare us like that. What happened in the morning was more than enough.”665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtxmQDKXxt
“I was just feeling tired and sick, that’s all,” I said, as I pretended to yawn.665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcr49AuOgu
“Okay, well the time we 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0Bc6915TH
brought you here to the clinic the doctor attended to you and said 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuBGU4cYu1
nothing was wrong with you, you just had low blood pressure,” Christine 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSj61MkPY0J
said.665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhs15BnWRWc
“I thought I was coming down with malaria,” I said.665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV294HRY3e3
“Well, I’m just glad 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBhp22u33D
you’re okay. Our dorm mates were really worried about you when you had 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8c7kZ1C4R
fainted,” said Amanda. “They will be glad to see that you’re okay.”665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahmAoS4nhv
“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.”665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9cK87mnGN
“Whoa, hold on right 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aZvpaBu4I
there!” Christine held my shoulders and pushed me back on the bed. “You 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr94oHQx7Nj
are not going anywhere, my friend. The doctor said so.”665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yNRF2uzi5
“But why? I’m perfectly fine,” I whined.665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZV4EYqW7Q
“You need to run through665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWqe5OVn41
some checkups just in case this doesn’t become serious,” said Amanda. 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvL2rwjkLbE
“Looks like you have to stay here until tomorrow.” 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6v4ZRjgeh
Tomorrow! The clinic was665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8IOgpkeq1
the last place I wanted to stay in, and better yet, all alone without 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjgA6vHSuR
my friends. I soon started to think of the worst. What if the stranger 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XyCAFYTTS
came after me again? And this time, in real life chasing me around the 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFPKkSsgdP
clinic with his deadly scythe? I swallowed hard as I imagined all of 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4LON1Ekmv
that even happening.665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Lx2oCyTxz
“I can’t stay here,” I continued to protest. “I’m perfectly fine. Tell the doctor to come and check up on me again.”665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmaeA1XBz9
“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.”665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wDSdioow4
“But all of this is 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxEqjaRzyA
ridiculous. It’s just low blood pressure and you’re acting as though I 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPnU9TjbdO
have AIDS,” I was getting rather impatient. “Or is there something 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8unL9l7ez
you’re not telling me?”665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqAvkXZUZ9
“I don’t know, you have 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIzeobBwfj

perfectly fine,” said Christine. “You better ask him why.”665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QnZf3ov1E
“Okay, where is he?” I quickly stood up, getting ready to see the doctor myself.665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gPifDyHxu
“He is busy with other patients at the moment,” said Christine. “You just have to wait and that will be like till evening.”665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkdKBPXjnO
I hate to admit it, but 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWxn8XV3kW
Christine was right. There were a number of patients who came into this 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLwp3sxYk7
hospital each and every day. And considering this place to be rural 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmjuhSv5Rb
area, a lot of people were prone to capture some tropical diseases and 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPH4bsfmX3
others. And there weren’t many doctors in the clinic to attend to all 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwMvpd0dmv

the doctor some time until he checked up on me again. I just sat down 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjLNHYIXUo
on my bed in defeat.665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXX2GbpAQq
“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.”665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEhuw57l0h
“Speaking of class, the 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxvmF8cNra
time for our break is almost up. We better leave,” said Amanda. “I don’t665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8LaT7IyZF
want to be late and end up on the offenders’ list.”665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWbUmTRexl
“You guys go ahead,” I said. “I will get your books tomorrow and copy the notes.”665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbjT8IrL0r
“Alright, take care of yourself. We might come back in the evening to say goodnight,” said Christine.665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYs7oFxnVlZ
“Okay,” I said dully as I665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXFgkGTONH
lay down on the bed. It was going to be pretty boring without my 665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qxTEXJcOW
friends around and I sighed as they left the room. I was left completely665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRx4z7HR5y
alone in the ward staring at the blank white ceiling above me.
