I finally remember.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY35WIOOjc6
My eyes quickly flew 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFG7v8h7w2a
open as a sudden sense of familiarity came over me. I was at the school 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiVOpVKrZC
clinic and as I sat up on the bed, I realised that the ward was empty. 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlypK5BpEG5
The white coloured walls greeted me with warmth as the sun rays 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSSs4hK9Cc
reflecting through the windows gave the room a wonderful glow. As I took639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIi7ByPyqb
in the warmth, everything came back to me. I had fainted in the 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSv61Zouox
orchard. That wasn’t the only thing that I remembered. There was a whole639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBkS0aoNEe
lot to it than I had realised.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMghPs5a9d2
“I now remember,” I said aloud to the empty ward.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKhH4EnGGU
Everything came back to 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2vxbsU77j
me in flash like it had in the orchard when I saw the mysterious 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKxZfhzAn8
stranger who was standing behind Amanda. When I had looked at the 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ies4Ldw61
stranger, I finally remembered what had happened to me when those images639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8yPV7XazQ
came running into my mind. I now remember what had happened to me 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7j8DyUbbOn
before I woke up this morning. I hated to say this to myself, but 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhohuaxwEk
Christine was right. Something was wrong with me and it had started all 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJ6KOSYx1K
the way from the time I had failed to wake up this morning until now. As639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDgcU6JRWP
I tried to go through what I could recall from the images that had run 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsunmfaJYaE
into my head earlier, I felt I was hit in the face with a reality check.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSD7ZeXZNX
I had died in my sleep.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2B6Xk6IJk5
“You didn’t even budge at all. It was like you were dead or something.”639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmliaZjR4d
“I was there when 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUk3TCZ4rEy
Christine tried to wake you up. You didn’t even move an inch. You just 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnOt4BYYlZ
laid there. And you looked, I don’t know, dead.”639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKyndF0F4g
I recalled what 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeMaPVLfcy
Christine and Amanda had told me earlier. They were right and what I 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMy7EpD9rwJ
could remember proved it all. I had died in my sleep and as far as I 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxl6o2Wjmw
could remember, only one person knew why. The stranger who came to the 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JlRmI5PGI
orchard was the same person in my dreams. And surprisingly, the same 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0HqpN0wAI
stranger was the one who took my life.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1sZAJTtkM
I closed my eyes and 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mjGoNXrdn
everything became clear as I remembered what had happened to me in my 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUxzAhRYUt
dreams. Everything around me was empty and dark. I couldn’t even tell if639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKG9lZDHH1V
I was floating in the air in the deep void of nothingness or if I had 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55wjLlhKNF
my feet planted to the floor. There was no sign of life, light or any 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpF9yjoAvvH
object I could feel or grab onto. I was nowhere, in a place where things639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bsqUmTu81
never existed.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xMmaRTOO7
Then, out of nowhere, 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRYplDMxQE
something had appeared right before my eyes, a few feet away from me. 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGTTMw99bo
For a moment I couldn’t tell what it was because it was too dark and the639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8u7wCUPKWv
same object that had appeared before seemed to be covered in a black 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoUluIj3NH
cloth that swirled around as if there was the presence of wind when it 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7sQY1ure2
actually wasn’t there. I adjusted my eyes a little more to see more 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksQMhbPooE
clearly. The object was kind of tall and before I could have realised it639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9hO5WEr4i
sooner, the object that stood before me was a human being in a black 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwI1eToYExP
long cloak. And whoever it was was facing my direction looking at me. I 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjWxBzjV6Q
couldn’t see eyes or even a face underneath the hood; it was dark, dark 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91AcXNIP1N
as the environment around us. For a moment, it seemed like we were just 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQFkoI9438
staring at each other until I got a feeling in me that this person in 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9De5XUuhd7
front of me was creeping me out. The air around us started to get cold 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCnDTgqIut
and each second that passed became colder and colder. At some point I 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgX0v8hc7Ya
breathed out air and an icy cold mist escaped from my nostrils. It was 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8CmeAP6RS
definitely getting cold and it felt like I was stuck in a freezer. I 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNDXag3ECw
started to shiver so violently and when I looked at my hands, they were 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplKQQwvDzV
icy blue. My hands soon felt numb from the cold, so did my face and legs639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBV8viWRDV
too. In a matter of minutes, my body had turned cold and blue. My body 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8rcZZW2cn
had become numb with cold and at that moment, my legs gave way and I 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5j75E22ZwB
fell to the cold floor which had suddenly turned into a hard cold layer 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9gmZpoGUS
of ice. I tried to move, but I was so still. The nerves in my body 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODxBrpnLqR
seemed to have frozen up too but it was a wonder how my brain was still 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGJw5R9md1
functioning because I was completely aware of what was going on and I 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1yE331KlD
could see the stranger in the dark cloak just staring back at me not 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSLuJtsdjW
doing anything to help.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqaNPzWRqY
I tried moving my icy 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwT199GPjZU
blue lips, but it was no use. I couldn’t even feel them. My lungs had 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7ckvYmMK3
stung with pain inside me and I was scared that they were going to stop 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIUlL9PRuu
functioning right there and then. What kept my hopes up was the beating 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAGzfzGt0W
of my heart; though I could hear every heart beat grow faint as the 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGNTl9ZFYl
coldness in me took over. I continued to stare at the stranger in front 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRwtI32Sja
of me, praying that he could do something to help me.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrH3EsRNz51
As though my thoughts 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbLERsAEDH
had finally been heard, the stranger took a step closer towards me. For a639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4MncFda3Q
moment, I finally felt that everything was going to be alright and I 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONp6wcSNSC
was going to be saved. When the stranger had finally come close enough 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWewH11Vw7Q
to help, my eyes flew to the hood trying to see if I could see the 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3jzeVumiw
stranger’s face, but I still couldn’t see a thing. The stranger 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTBlF1s0Iw
continued to look down at me and even though I couldn’t see any facial 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXssx5KpyQ
features under the hood, I could feel the stranger’s eyes on me. When I 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4426KPM9v
had hoped that the stranger was going to help me, that hope was soon 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSLTGP44FR
replaced with fear in an instant, even in the frozen state I was in. My 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxOck7yG4n
eyes bulged out in fear and I prayed in my heart for at least my nerves 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGNjDOoYpq
to kick start again and I would be able to get away from this stranger 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSluu2WEWKC
who I didn’t even know.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSkpheEJh8
As I continued to pray 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXT2HCMIKLJ
to myself, the stranger soon knelt to the floor on one knee and the fear639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPvbrTETA8
in me almost ended my fading heart. The stranger quickly stretched out 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHyYuFkARS
his hand and held my cold neck. I could feel the strong hand grip 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tIvzvZlK2
tightly around my neck and he was choking me out with the little air I 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7azneV2MT
could take in my cold state. When the stranger slowly stood, he was 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrB3lpB2wH
dragging me upwards along with him. We were now staring at each other. I639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmZTQHng8u
could still feel the stranger’s gaze on me because it felt like needles639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRsVt7qu3A
were pierced into my eyes. I continued to stare back into the dark void639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0QyjC15D6
under the hood feeling helpless. I wondered what this person was going 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF71udA17tU
to do to me.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblKyTfM6ZB
Soon, a scythe appeared 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySqkviKAcF
out of nowhere and it stood right beside the stranger in mid-air. The 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87k5ol3Xjo
stranger took the scythe in his hand and in an instant, the scythe had 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9kziENqte
transformed into a knife. My heart had started to beat faster than it 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73epuGcBZQ
had when I had been frozen. I had to admit that I was scared and I tried639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡia3YyWeWg5
to scream for help, but it was no use. No one was here to help me and 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1Fu7eNppq
this stranger in front of me seemed to have made up his mind about what 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUvBQ7zsxt
he was going to do with me. At that moment, I prayed that all of what I 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aoFTtSvcE
was going through was just a bad dream.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRAyfBJmER
I continued to stare at 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPifYpDG8V
the stranger in front of me, with a knife in hand. The hand around my 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZEhFUvXeI
neck tightened with every defying moment. I thought the stranger would 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ56Yy8CaGR
have a final say before he drove that knife into me, but there was 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRR02CLGQt
nothing but silence between us. With all of my might, and with all the 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhxDN1S1D7
pain and coldness inside of me, I had forced myself to speak:639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDYLOnT4vx
“Plea…..please……do…..don’t do this,” cold mist escaped my lips as I spoke. “What wrong have I done to deserve this?”639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQ5uCIcQOR
A cold deafening voice 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldamekHthI
echoed around me from the stranger who had held me captive, it was a 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrE1cym2TSV
voice that could have sent anyone running for their lives:639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WHbKHHWux
“Your time has come, Diana. This is your destiny and how it all ends!”639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQe5fg2KkwR
Before I could say 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzr1Hlq2x3Y
anything else, the knife quickly drove through my chest and I had felt 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYfd3B2pzK
the piercing pain. Even though I was frozen I could feel the warm blood 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrohV7sTp8R
flow out of my body and its coppery smell filled the air. I looked down 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8JygECERw
on my chest and I saw the red smear of blood staining my shirt. The 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWTRKvVnlb
knife was quickly removed from my chest and the stranger drove it again,639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaaNpW69Bx
this time into my stomach. This time I screamed out in endless pain and639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkazJY1uwUt
my scream echoed around the deep void. The stranger continued to stab 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9TzEvThne
me in so many places and I was left in antagonising pain that I 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOW6kLafi0
continued to scream until I reached a point where I couldn’t scream any 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hiaTiZ7L2
longer. I was numb with pain.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaotfgmmcXb
My body soon felt limb 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuO9TTmUoPk
and the next thing I knew I was on the floor and didn’t even know how I 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIntir8bMQN
had ended up down there. The stranger continued to look down at me as I 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfaK4TwAK6
was bleeding out to death. I didn’t feel the pain anymore, though I 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYUObmEOCh
could feel something was living my body slowly. Was it my soul, I had 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidnuB6BAAx
wondered. My vision soon became blurry as images started flashing in my 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1DQOsi9eY
mind. Were those my memories of the life I had once lived? At that 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyrk7PkAae
moment I couldn’t even think or tell what was real and what wasn’t. My 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbb8alW9g8e
brain was dying so as the rest of my body. I could really feel myself 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiemGLgc0a8
fading into who knows where.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWDvzSq2qZ
The stranger soon turned639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58Dhs4375g
away from me with the knife in his hand which was covered in blood, in 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyy9LuLBSP
my blood. As the stranger walked away, the knife in his hand soon turned639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHL3qS8lkaT
back into a scythe and the darkness swallowed the stranger out of 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02ATWsc25c
sight. 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhRyeNj8Fr
And I was left in the darkness, in a pool of my own blood, as I breathed out my last. 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXpn9MMcTN
“Diana!”639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCOuCpyexc
My eyes quickly flew 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjR0Aa0KYP
open and for a moment, I was oblivious of my surrounding. I felt a hand 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstvOF3RtCC
on my shoulder and Christine stood right in front of me with Amanda 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhTXzYiDS9
standing right behind her. They both had worried looks on their faces 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHLJ10vAQ6
and I hoped it had nothing to do with me.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUqBfcED8w
“Why are you looking at me like that?” I asked.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljoh18nftd
“We were wondering if you were alright,” Christine answered.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡur5a8CG9CV
“I’m fine as you can 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPcpsDN5dR
see. There is nothing to worry about,” I tried to sound as normal as 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9S6KznvKtd
possible after what I had just remembered.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62KL9MNlb7
“It doesn’t seem that way to us,” Amanda said. The look on her face made me even more worried than they were.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhPqFwp9bn
“What do you mean?” I raised my eyebrow.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtTej4B2Wz
Amanda and Christine 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2oMaf19kr
turned to look at each other, looking concerned. They went back to 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxRFb5STkk
looking at me like I had just said something stupid.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTFCwFeVKM
“Is someone going to tell me what’s up or do I have to play the guess game?” I snapped, growing impatient. 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFMQ9sfvq6
“We came into the ward 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXo2V5G0L8S
and saw you seated on the bed with your eyes closed,” said Christine. 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfMVIL3F5n
“When we called out to you, you didn’t respond. When we shook you, you 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwiTgjYuPS
didn’t do anything. You just sat there as though you were deep into 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQ68pjC2Mt
meditation. But when we touched your skin you were as cold as ice. So we639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiGSTn0CPn
grew worried, calling your name and shaking you, but to no avail. We 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDSBxEZks5
almost called for the nurse until your eyes flew open.”639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3sTrEGN9J
I sighed out in 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWOILIIFpB
frustration as I buried my head into my hands. This was not happening. 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuAWnll61R
What was going on? I had died this morning but somehow came back to 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9FlxbQm12
life. And now, just trying to remember my death made me go into a dead 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQFmLQZOca
state all over again.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GbjPGHUXe
“Hey, are you okay?” Christine asked. “What happened to you?”639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTsieh3RDf
I looked up at my 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8BBWni18I
friends as they continued to stare down at me. I wasn’t quite sure 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKSk2DeSVu
whether to tell them that they had been right all along about this 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiq7vhQzW0F
morning or just try to make up some excuse of a story. I finally decided639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCg8grfUoDB
to tell them the truth. I wasn’t going to bear carrying this secret 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpKOljG2DN
around with me for long, so I sat upright and took a deep breath.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCrJaF9rg7
“Okay, I’ll tell you,” I639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglJ5nGHHEA
said, trying to build up my confidence. I closed my eyes and opened 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe99rkeemce
them. And before I could open my mouth to speak, something strange 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvmo2SOi57
happened.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5rRqe4zIY
A vision of the stranger639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5JX23nx89
in my dream had quickly appeared before my eyes. He still wore the same639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpk8hl1LWwa
black cloak and hood. He had a knife in his hand. The same knife he had639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fY7wByw4H
used to kill me. And it was all covered in blood and he was carrying 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyeBtSfqir
something wrapped around his arm. A body all covered in blood.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEG9E7bQGcp
Christine’s body!639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoJw0z8hK8
Was all of this a sign 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCDgEhHkSr
that I shouldn’t say anything? The vision had appeared out of nowhere, 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWcp4UzM1a
and that meant something. I swallowed hard as I quickly thought of what 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJq8bq7dc3
to say next.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbHhZJvKHN
“I felt like I was 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlYlFYCTIr
coming down with something,” I lied. “I felt a little nauseous and I 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdypbhuD01V
tried sitting up on the bed hoping the feeling would go away.”639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyv2PmjY98p
“But we called out to you a thousand times,” Amanda said. “Why didn’t you say anything?”639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDVWQrvjve
“I fell asleep,” I answered. “You know sometimes I fall asleep while I sit upright. I do so in class.”639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVcX66zSjr
That was probably the 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gYknBatZ6
worst lie I have ever uttered in my entire life. I don’t how know how 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbN1LBZ21K
those words came out of my mouth, but they did. I continued to look up 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtTbukutqp
at my friends and I prayed that they would believe what I had just said.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4B6zQVgPvn
I had to admit, what I had said was pretty cheeky. I wasn’t going to be639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNI74h7JvO
surprised if they didn’t believe me.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFj2roVAG03
“Oh, thank goodness,” said Christine in relief, placing her hand over her chest. “For a moment you had us all worried.”639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUk0QeJnjK
I quickly raised my left eyebrow. She believed that?639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOL707q3Rc
“Yes, me too,” said Amanda. “You shouldn’t scare us like that. What happened in the morning was more than enough.”639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmdJUmJqTG
“I was just feeling tired and sick, that’s all,” I said, as I pretended to yawn.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0M0uTOVLdy
“Okay, well the time we 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrihSqW8NK
brought you here to the clinic the doctor attended to you and said 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfti9IvbbQ
nothing was wrong with you, you just had low blood pressure,” Christine 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2jWakptcc
said.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcwvuklMc6
“I thought I was coming down with malaria,” I said.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmA8DbXrrFZ
“Well, I’m just glad 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3D1UKe0uM
you’re okay. Our dorm mates were really worried about you when you had 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4a3NTCJicZ
fainted,” said Amanda. “They will be glad to see that you’re okay.”639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rPGelqaXL
“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.”639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXwslvEDOK
“Whoa, hold on right 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rLFczYKEn
there!” Christine held my shoulders and pushed me back on the bed. “You 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSBCkPy4FJ
are not going anywhere, my friend. The doctor said so.”639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn75lMvAcyY
“But why? I’m perfectly fine,” I whined.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7cTN8FHve
“You need to run through639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9glqmNUck
some checkups just in case this doesn’t become serious,” said Amanda. 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2RhwZiE2r
“Looks like you have to stay here until tomorrow.” 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tOnsIQczt
Tomorrow! The clinic was639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7W27pI16Dn
the last place I wanted to stay in, and better yet, all alone without 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgncKtkBDG
my friends. I soon started to think of the worst. What if the stranger 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUCcc11Hd3
came after me again? And this time, in real life chasing me around the 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosw6freL1x
clinic with his deadly scythe? I swallowed hard as I imagined all of 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfL46bHsjhl
that even happening.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVs4fmyhZB
“I can’t stay here,” I continued to protest. “I’m perfectly fine. Tell the doctor to come and check up on me again.”639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZS3EFwUt1
“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.”639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8Z9wzt1Dw
“But all of this is 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlRZzJEH6Q
ridiculous. It’s just low blood pressure and you’re acting as though I 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFzP5fhpkC
have AIDS,” I was getting rather impatient. “Or is there something 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVWwObL6qX
you’re not telling me?”639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5Gb0BUIMY
“I don’t know, you have 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqPco7waBy
to ask the doctor that. He said you can’t go back to school until you’re639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuoHoiwjKH
perfectly fine,” said Christine. “You better ask him why.”639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcWdNOJdNC
“Okay, where is he?” I quickly stood up, getting ready to see the doctor myself.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIC7nw8hcvd
“He is busy with other patients at the moment,” said Christine. “You just have to wait and that will be like till evening.”639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WmINS6s63
I hate to admit it, but 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVMM5Lr0w2
Christine was right. There were a number of patients who came into this 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38GV4BKmSY
hospital each and every day. And considering this place to be rural 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPRmNZu5Od
area, a lot of people were prone to capture some tropical diseases and 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvk6GfcaqW
others. And there weren’t many doctors in the clinic to attend to all 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrumO9cwXpN
those in need of treatment. I just had to be considerate enough and give639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBtUfkgRfw
the doctor some time until he checked up on me again. I just sat down 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOz2cOh27d
on my bed in defeat.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJTn0sb3Ft
“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.”639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQXMdHNnvs
“Speaking of class, the 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznLCSF4meD
time for our break is almost up. We better leave,” said Amanda. “I don’t639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuklVjIuRa6
want to be late and end up on the offenders’ list.”639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXzlHVb953
“You guys go ahead,” I said. “I will get your books tomorrow and copy the notes.”639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGIvvDCcyi
“Alright, take care of yourself. We might come back in the evening to say goodnight,” said Christine.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTrpFKvngX
“Okay,” I said dully as I639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRqASSZ98i
lay down on the bed. It was going to be pretty boring without my 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUYWuJ5Il7
friends around and I sighed as they left the room. I was left completely639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPw3q3wcm3W
alone in the ward staring at the blank white ceiling above me.
