I finally remember.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3t36bpncj6
My eyes quickly flew 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtW4M05N8GU
open as a sudden sense of familiarity came over me. I was at the school 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0efeXEeGM
clinic and as I sat up on the bed, I realised that the ward was empty. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMqiMeEHm4
The white coloured walls greeted me with warmth as the sun rays 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vafWdXi2D
reflecting through the windows gave the room a wonderful glow. As I took670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAbJkZANur
in the warmth, everything came back to me. I had fainted in the 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYMBNsBSMn
orchard. That wasn’t the only thing that I remembered. There was a whole670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCBOTa35JW
lot to it than I had realised.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgILwxswOc
“I now remember,” I said aloud to the empty ward.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yvPIK1we5
Everything came back to 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdwRPKp43N
me in flash like it had in the orchard when I saw the mysterious 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkqFPVsPD3
stranger who was standing behind Amanda. When I had looked at the 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63Xd3JyBEY
stranger, I finally remembered what had happened to me when those images670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjrBHtjvOO
came running into my mind. I now remember what had happened to me 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijvcgOfO6I
before I woke up this morning. I hated to say this to myself, but 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkILIz3aiL
Christine was right. Something was wrong with me and it had started all 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQAPhBt8Km
the way from the time I had failed to wake up this morning until now. As670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0vyG6QlTL
I tried to go through what I could recall from the images that had run 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVHdTlKzEF
into my head earlier, I felt I was hit in the face with a reality check.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4J5fCq0ho
I had died in my sleep.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRTfZkHg40
“You didn’t even budge at all. It was like you were dead or something.”670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8g2tlGDt7S
“I was there when 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaJD8ruvaM
Christine tried to wake you up. You didn’t even move an inch. You just 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88CSr2o2Wz
laid there. And you looked, I don’t know, dead.”670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhplX7E8e8B
I recalled what 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NJjuijNMF
Christine and Amanda had told me earlier. They were right and what I 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBJYKXCwhX
could remember proved it all. I had died in my sleep and as far as I 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCdNGWYRL9
could remember, only one person knew why. The stranger who came to the 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWVINmgntc
orchard was the same person in my dreams. And surprisingly, the same 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQnQK6b4sx
stranger was the one who took my life.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaKHEYsm0E
I closed my eyes and 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuO33ymC7c
everything became clear as I remembered what had happened to me in my 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp81VutQ42f
dreams. Everything around me was empty and dark. I couldn’t even tell if670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVtSbTTYJT
I was floating in the air in the deep void of nothingness or if I had 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqF7M8afrB
my feet planted to the floor. There was no sign of life, light or any 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzsMgcNupF
object I could feel or grab onto. I was nowhere, in a place where things670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgJLJSvexu
never existed.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Zer0Ll5Or
Then, out of nowhere, 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7qCHJZJLa
something had appeared right before my eyes, a few feet away from me. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25Jak2Vg8q
For a moment I couldn’t tell what it was because it was too dark and the670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMG7v1xMAWI
same object that had appeared before seemed to be covered in a black 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqhPbEIdYB
cloth that swirled around as if there was the presence of wind when it 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cg1sBGN6l
actually wasn’t there. I adjusted my eyes a little more to see more 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV84VxdiDiV
clearly. The object was kind of tall and before I could have realised it670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNMDSSKtXy
sooner, the object that stood before me was a human being in a black 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIjYhBCfww
long cloak. And whoever it was was facing my direction looking at me. I 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMhkil4d5m
couldn’t see eyes or even a face underneath the hood; it was dark, dark 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiEpiLcUJl
as the environment around us. For a moment, it seemed like we were just 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4j7j0nzKza
staring at each other until I got a feeling in me that this person in 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEXj5u7DU2
front of me was creeping me out. The air around us started to get cold 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIcK205QWD
and each second that passed became colder and colder. At some point I 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mRBqrlGGF
breathed out air and an icy cold mist escaped from my nostrils. It was 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1k63aHbUMf
definitely getting cold and it felt like I was stuck in a freezer. I 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8gVdslhtX
started to shiver so violently and when I looked at my hands, they were 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTuY5Ror5W
icy blue. My hands soon felt numb from the cold, so did my face and legs670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBkFiiRaF1
too. In a matter of minutes, my body had turned cold and blue. My body 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyVsjQMZv0
had become numb with cold and at that moment, my legs gave way and I 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuVYUdyGQX
fell to the cold floor which had suddenly turned into a hard cold layer 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHxmUFrqaF
of ice. I tried to move, but I was so still. The nerves in my body 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ku3X5BDWo
seemed to have frozen up too but it was a wonder how my brain was still 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXzdWVixh9
functioning because I was completely aware of what was going on and I 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8X1Zof1un
could see the stranger in the dark cloak just staring back at me not 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeYJSHqocW
doing anything to help.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjBkZD3LQJ
I tried moving my icy 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Gr5Jcs95a
blue lips, but it was no use. I couldn’t even feel them. My lungs had 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCo3YV4XgSI
stung with pain inside me and I was scared that they were going to stop 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRYREYqjI8
functioning right there and then. What kept my hopes up was the beating 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMiYEPfVpT
of my heart; though I could hear every heart beat grow faint as the 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNT1kHHHqZv
coldness in me took over. I continued to stare at the stranger in front 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4RZI0eAW0
of me, praying that he could do something to help me.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGVJ4p9iRW
As though my thoughts 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0YOawFwIq
had finally been heard, the stranger took a step closer towards me. For a670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRAbBYxpgv
moment, I finally felt that everything was going to be alright and I 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGZBw2oyWm
was going to be saved. When the stranger had finally come close enough 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkfmaJCeMS
to help, my eyes flew to the hood trying to see if I could see the 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMt5ztIlQNS
stranger’s face, but I still couldn’t see a thing. The stranger 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQHhFv1G8C
continued to look down at me and even though I couldn’t see any facial 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimlXaS4Y2E
features under the hood, I could feel the stranger’s eyes on me. When I 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvmWIqgWkY
had hoped that the stranger was going to help me, that hope was soon 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLYoxk3Mm6
replaced with fear in an instant, even in the frozen state I was in. My 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqITcmQjJJF
eyes bulged out in fear and I prayed in my heart for at least my nerves 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVfyxzhQZB
to kick start again and I would be able to get away from this stranger 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXw6wKg3nFJ
who I didn’t even know.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ826jtpdh3b
As I continued to pray 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmns2MlkxO
to myself, the stranger soon knelt to the floor on one knee and the fear670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBOuQAEmNj
in me almost ended my fading heart. The stranger quickly stretched out 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rKM5fIwn5
his hand and held my cold neck. I could feel the strong hand grip 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UYyBr9RzL
tightly around my neck and he was choking me out with the little air I 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkjP1SkoU3
could take in my cold state. When the stranger slowly stood, he was 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPvfaNMT1y
dragging me upwards along with him. We were now staring at each other. I670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiPhHZbl8L
could still feel the stranger’s gaze on me because it felt like needles670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kN9BM7DLi
were pierced into my eyes. I continued to stare back into the dark void670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFPu7PqQ4h
under the hood feeling helpless. I wondered what this person was going 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAgR1UtAzU
to do to me.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtut3jHYJZj
Soon, a scythe appeared 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzzfYSkSym
out of nowhere and it stood right beside the stranger in mid-air. The 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSX5vZGJlQ
stranger took the scythe in his hand and in an instant, the scythe had 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qyrXOOl1o
transformed into a knife. My heart had started to beat faster than it 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3dWHNfV82
had when I had been frozen. I had to admit that I was scared and I tried670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeeq7JJs0s
to scream for help, but it was no use. No one was here to help me and 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9cyuuXyvT
this stranger in front of me seemed to have made up his mind about what 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrJtMgztHo
he was going to do with me. At that moment, I prayed that all of what I 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97LkRZQxoe
was going through was just a bad dream.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3yazCVlKz
I continued to stare at 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4vPCDHAZT
the stranger in front of me, with a knife in hand. The hand around my 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOObEPU14M
neck tightened with every defying moment. I thought the stranger would 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwf8z1Wnza
have a final say before he drove that knife into me, but there was 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1naoakrLo6
nothing but silence between us. With all of my might, and with all the 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDevTPI2X04
pain and coldness inside of me, I had forced myself to speak:670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZEzbEp1tZ
“Plea…..please……do…..don’t do this,” cold mist escaped my lips as I spoke. “What wrong have I done to deserve this?”670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbDgfXDlhF
A cold deafening voice 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUo9CT0Jm60
echoed around me from the stranger who had held me captive, it was a 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLpx4pHk83
voice that could have sent anyone running for their lives:670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCujg86V0Q9
“Your time has come, Diana. This is your destiny and how it all ends!”670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡammMwGGat5
Before I could say 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3X9ovxkQ22
anything else, the knife quickly drove through my chest and I had felt 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfNQOzigEn
the piercing pain. Even though I was frozen I could feel the warm blood 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxuP5JxzJG
flow out of my body and its coppery smell filled the air. I looked down 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQK1XNzcEF3
on my chest and I saw the red smear of blood staining my shirt. The 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dZJL2Zzdm
knife was quickly removed from my chest and the stranger drove it again,670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5DEWvW3Vw
this time into my stomach. This time I screamed out in endless pain and670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbHpakm3x8
my scream echoed around the deep void. The stranger continued to stab 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyiqAPWjyJ
me in so many places and I was left in antagonising pain that I 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6xv3b02pH
continued to scream until I reached a point where I couldn’t scream any 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkz8jodwaVr
longer. I was numb with pain.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicd09bDdnk
My body soon felt limb 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVKgNicWBk
and the next thing I knew I was on the floor and didn’t even know how I 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDckOm9zWfE
had ended up down there. The stranger continued to look down at me as I 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRipa6MoGCM
was bleeding out to death. I didn’t feel the pain anymore, though I 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6YNWhfzYP
could feel something was living my body slowly. Was it my soul, I had 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1si7M2vDri
wondered. My vision soon became blurry as images started flashing in my 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdDREqtyhQ
mind. Were those my memories of the life I had once lived? At that 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRxMj2fPo2
moment I couldn’t even think or tell what was real and what wasn’t. My 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFOCDeHxbT
brain was dying so as the rest of my body. I could really feel myself 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufH7XSXBTq
fading into who knows where.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKF1AlMeZu
The stranger soon turned670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WRgYtqgAa
away from me with the knife in his hand which was covered in blood, in 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0E50zHbi5
my blood. As the stranger walked away, the knife in his hand soon turned670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYnXseWKy6
back into a scythe and the darkness swallowed the stranger out of 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthLkYwNVdK
sight. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqVAPESLPp
And I was left in the darkness, in a pool of my own blood, as I breathed out my last. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62U79Vtg0v
“Diana!”670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKH5gZwQH0
My eyes quickly flew 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPsS2x2doF
open and for a moment, I was oblivious of my surrounding. I felt a hand 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswjq2pmlTU
on my shoulder and Christine stood right in front of me with Amanda 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgIeDNPge8
standing right behind her. They both had worried looks on their faces 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnf1Ax2v0s
and I hoped it had nothing to do with me.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2t2QlhRDN
“Why are you looking at me like that?” I asked.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQw119caRra
“We were wondering if you were alright,” Christine answered.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0jKpBEqIC
“I’m fine as you can 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxKr0ieLco
see. There is nothing to worry about,” I tried to sound as normal as 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Uny8jfNW1
possible after what I had just remembered.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOpJziYLuK
“It doesn’t seem that way to us,” Amanda said. The look on her face made me even more worried than they were.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zNI70wZyx
“What do you mean?” I raised my eyebrow.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwgziUNiJl
Amanda and Christine 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIlapyVpjt
turned to look at each other, looking concerned. They went back to 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QjOTVjeb9
looking at me like I had just said something stupid.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZ05Fjb4ka
“Is someone going to tell me what’s up or do I have to play the guess game?” I snapped, growing impatient. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIONBMh5dtB
“We came into the ward 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBV1ut9pPlH
and saw you seated on the bed with your eyes closed,” said Christine. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9twDvW0Lpz
“When we called out to you, you didn’t respond. When we shook you, you 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacrH0988V4
didn’t do anything. You just sat there as though you were deep into 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXsHn5bn9i
meditation. But when we touched your skin you were as cold as ice. So we670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTYTfC9Dnv
grew worried, calling your name and shaking you, but to no avail. We 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfWBdbsQHm
almost called for the nurse until your eyes flew open.”670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZtWj2pRVZ
I sighed out in 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOd623DDbD
frustration as I buried my head into my hands. This was not happening. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikJHvBmRIE
What was going on? I had died this morning but somehow came back to 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRix73vxj8
life. And now, just trying to remember my death made me go into a dead 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpT7RmDPlRx
state all over again.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QNUYxOFSn
“Hey, are you okay?” Christine asked. “What happened to you?”670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjqHlGZR86
I looked up at my 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpldulLDLkO
friends as they continued to stare down at me. I wasn’t quite sure 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJ0nXxq6sO
whether to tell them that they had been right all along about this 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoegTTBsRi
morning or just try to make up some excuse of a story. I finally decided670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRbGuluZLH
to tell them the truth. I wasn’t going to bear carrying this secret 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAxuTSXUB5
around with me for long, so I sat upright and took a deep breath.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLae7P1fCLJ
“Okay, I’ll tell you,” I670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ985WWMKLZS
said, trying to build up my confidence. I closed my eyes and opened 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTpGIdXroM
them. And before I could open my mouth to speak, something strange 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtqBg5C523
happened.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoZqYzoqtY
A vision of the stranger670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡridoEyRpO2
in my dream had quickly appeared before my eyes. He still wore the same670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYSXSni7am
black cloak and hood. He had a knife in his hand. The same knife he had670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHH4bXfqXsr
used to kill me. And it was all covered in blood and he was carrying 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2Z699xDuk
something wrapped around his arm. A body all covered in blood.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cjEJ4mPok
Christine’s body!670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dKgkfHClP
Was all of this a sign 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZVi2wUWEi
that I shouldn’t say anything? The vision had appeared out of nowhere, 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzRxQeDMIA
and that meant something. I swallowed hard as I quickly thought of what 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvpl7YUNjl
to say next.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7gzu1Uxuc
“I felt like I was 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9MDO4LqgT
coming down with something,” I lied. “I felt a little nauseous and I 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHzYgtYb8w
tried sitting up on the bed hoping the feeling would go away.”670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHbBfyUCU4
“But we called out to you a thousand times,” Amanda said. “Why didn’t you say anything?”670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ545tOg6alQ
“I fell asleep,” I answered. “You know sometimes I fall asleep while I sit upright. I do so in class.”670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS15wx6TeDk
That was probably the 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgfHNUofSu
worst lie I have ever uttered in my entire life. I don’t how know how 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfp5Z0e6E2J
those words came out of my mouth, but they did. I continued to look up 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsJ58ARIiM
at my friends and I prayed that they would believe what I had just said.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluVc3yloyh
I had to admit, what I had said was pretty cheeky. I wasn’t going to be670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5H6MvH9JW
surprised if they didn’t believe me.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbaifaT80e
“Oh, thank goodness,” said Christine in relief, placing her hand over her chest. “For a moment you had us all worried.”670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrC2ErT0XyO
I quickly raised my left eyebrow. She believed that?670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKkzxQzNVT
“Yes, me too,” said Amanda. “You shouldn’t scare us like that. What happened in the morning was more than enough.”670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUBpuUKlia
“I was just feeling tired and sick, that’s all,” I said, as I pretended to yawn.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGAUkER3hn
“Okay, well the time we 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sM4MvfECx
brought you here to the clinic the doctor attended to you and said 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZgcJsF5RD
nothing was wrong with you, you just had low blood pressure,” Christine 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwvWUJnUS1
said.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopOC9mhyV1
“I thought I was coming down with malaria,” I said.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgs2PGuk8za
“Well, I’m just glad 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2zyTyAmJG
you’re okay. Our dorm mates were really worried about you when you had 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxe5pn1wE45
fainted,” said Amanda. “They will be glad to see that you’re okay.”670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuQJFI3ty1
“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.”670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafBGtBtp3h
“Whoa, hold on right 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmD34UQsV6D
there!” Christine held my shoulders and pushed me back on the bed. “You 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwS4pbQQPv
are not going anywhere, my friend. The doctor said so.”670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSOtxAPzZX
“But why? I’m perfectly fine,” I whined.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTv0V7gBtY0
“You need to run through670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizS7s5t95O
some checkups just in case this doesn’t become serious,” said Amanda. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1H5dBlN3r
“Looks like you have to stay here until tomorrow.” 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BZn3IW6Dq
Tomorrow! The clinic was670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUtVqIxx4c
the last place I wanted to stay in, and better yet, all alone without 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jb5Z5P1L9
my friends. I soon started to think of the worst. What if the stranger 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpjkbDxTxd
came after me again? And this time, in real life chasing me around the 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwRQApqjSg
clinic with his deadly scythe? I swallowed hard as I imagined all of 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5X5FjU0UH
that even happening.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6RGnBO2rz
“I can’t stay here,” I continued to protest. “I’m perfectly fine. Tell the doctor to come and check up on me again.”670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNPLWwSZE6
“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.”670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOefpAoaDO
“But all of this is 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXxFO9kuTr
ridiculous. It’s just low blood pressure and you’re acting as though I 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUFyjtagur
have AIDS,” I was getting rather impatient. “Or is there something 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL64d8uKfur
you’re not telling me?”670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGww1llKZ6
“I don’t know, you have 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gMKTtXn6k
to ask the doctor that. He said you can’t go back to school until you’re670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfkuEaPOxl
perfectly fine,” said Christine. “You better ask him why.”670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9Sw2uKZGf
“Okay, where is he?” I quickly stood up, getting ready to see the doctor myself.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzA9icC5HHC
“He is busy with other patients at the moment,” said Christine. “You just have to wait and that will be like till evening.”670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROi3VwbvuW
I hate to admit it, but 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz54F6MHapV
Christine was right. There were a number of patients who came into this 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOL4zQZHbU
hospital each and every day. And considering this place to be rural 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZGEvFGoMh
area, a lot of people were prone to capture some tropical diseases and 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zDS5dsCiB
others. And there weren’t many doctors in the clinic to attend to all 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLigyBqJvyl
those in need of treatment. I just had to be considerate enough and give670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4YuIdRCt7
the doctor some time until he checked up on me again. I just sat down 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLhE589l9S
on my bed in defeat.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4LLTBe83E
“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.”670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lqp7Y0mL8
“Speaking of class, the 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWkfeRoq2s
time for our break is almost up. We better leave,” said Amanda. “I don’t670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzN9dkU0lF
want to be late and end up on the offenders’ list.”670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfESRvxwor
“You guys go ahead,” I said. “I will get your books tomorrow and copy the notes.”670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtIVdA7goH
“Alright, take care of yourself. We might come back in the evening to say goodnight,” said Christine.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqFagz1kWO
“Okay,” I said dully as I670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUqpcknwrL
lay down on the bed. It was going to be pretty boring without my 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimTVdaj53U
friends around and I sighed as they left the room. I was left completely670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMk5kZI7CRV
alone in the ward staring at the blank white ceiling above me.
