I finally remember.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFmR0yyzdG
My eyes quickly flew 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcYLQJaQgM
open as a sudden sense of familiarity came over me. I was at the school 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaG7cwLpt6L
clinic and as I sat up on the bed, I realised that the ward was empty. 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBNqDy4yOE
The white coloured walls greeted me with warmth as the sun rays 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhaoPppvjv
reflecting through the windows gave the room a wonderful glow. As I took777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKV6cuwc1yW
in the warmth, everything came back to me. I had fainted in the 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNfafVWsSY
orchard. That wasn’t the only thing that I remembered. There was a whole777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOAi4GAY9A
lot to it than I had realised.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4D1ojviV8
“I now remember,” I said aloud to the empty ward.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FHYWjqOCn
Everything came back to 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvECCHsVwgX
me in flash like it had in the orchard when I saw the mysterious 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9LTknN6pG
stranger who was standing behind Amanda. When I had looked at the 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLgSg6w2ep
stranger, I finally remembered what had happened to me when those images777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfv7GBvpueK
came running into my mind. I now remember what had happened to me 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRqEDHcFEo
before I woke up this morning. I hated to say this to myself, but 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3CSxaYubm
Christine was right. Something was wrong with me and it had started all 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdH4crScq7M
the way from the time I had failed to wake up this morning until now. As777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjhE58cKqa
I tried to go through what I could recall from the images that had run 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcekeyaAoLN
into my head earlier, I felt I was hit in the face with a reality check.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgM1xrQNSZx
I had died in my sleep.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dz3cIEpyb
“You didn’t even budge at all. It was like you were dead or something.”777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaOrCUNdKc
“I was there when 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGsCbrkqLC
Christine tried to wake you up. You didn’t even move an inch. You just 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oN7njRcTT
laid there. And you looked, I don’t know, dead.”777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vgqfRxur9
I recalled what 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXvLZDWtjg
Christine and Amanda had told me earlier. They were right and what I 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIi8SW3JruW
could remember proved it all. I had died in my sleep and as far as I 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHJatVH3NX
could remember, only one person knew why. The stranger who came to the 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpF79M6asG
orchard was the same person in my dreams. And surprisingly, the same 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡve9cbd5f35
stranger was the one who took my life.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZ5z8QPFzM
I closed my eyes and 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OepnwPmlW
everything became clear as I remembered what had happened to me in my 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsg7PpJfR6m
dreams. Everything around me was empty and dark. I couldn’t even tell if777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueOWKJ5EbX
I was floating in the air in the deep void of nothingness or if I had 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwklZyhzQw0
my feet planted to the floor. There was no sign of life, light or any 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDouRhcYXi
object I could feel or grab onto. I was nowhere, in a place where things777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kT2eY3w9w
never existed.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlw3gcguZV
Then, out of nowhere, 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHaUTSXzMb
something had appeared right before my eyes, a few feet away from me. 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOGVwputkp
For a moment I couldn’t tell what it was because it was too dark and the777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEJKAg8Yvo
same object that had appeared before seemed to be covered in a black 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLH7h9DnRd
cloth that swirled around as if there was the presence of wind when it 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnS1C41Maw
actually wasn’t there. I adjusted my eyes a little more to see more 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCArjAAN2hV
clearly. The object was kind of tall and before I could have realised it777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfRtNSPa9n
sooner, the object that stood before me was a human being in a black 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPTNONnL5P
long cloak. And whoever it was was facing my direction looking at me. I 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLDjYD49H5
couldn’t see eyes or even a face underneath the hood; it was dark, dark 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3QEBwnIGu
as the environment around us. For a moment, it seemed like we were just 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EuT9WEfxS
staring at each other until I got a feeling in me that this person in 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMK6WbtFaES
front of me was creeping me out. The air around us started to get cold 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sixhlrJ2b
and each second that passed became colder and colder. At some point I 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qtktj0o4c
breathed out air and an icy cold mist escaped from my nostrils. It was 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xacGuvwZ4
definitely getting cold and it felt like I was stuck in a freezer. I 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdaZSpiQGK
started to shiver so violently and when I looked at my hands, they were 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCFD9jLY0I
icy blue. My hands soon felt numb from the cold, so did my face and legs777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogRXBtWvHd
too. In a matter of minutes, my body had turned cold and blue. My body 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0e3hySD2k0
had become numb with cold and at that moment, my legs gave way and I 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0n2YtXxS0L
fell to the cold floor which had suddenly turned into a hard cold layer 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygnD8qKTSP
of ice. I tried to move, but I was so still. The nerves in my body 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQocgIDUhHd
seemed to have frozen up too but it was a wonder how my brain was still 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoarBbaGBqo
functioning because I was completely aware of what was going on and I 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqp0OoDw31Z
could see the stranger in the dark cloak just staring back at me not 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPIotGrfaM
doing anything to help.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrpvL7ydiU
I tried moving my icy 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtxW6JGYTE
blue lips, but it was no use. I couldn’t even feel them. My lungs had 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpBtf1ruRU
stung with pain inside me and I was scared that they were going to stop 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwvRYdzxze
functioning right there and then. What kept my hopes up was the beating 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolE5aLxLVE
of my heart; though I could hear every heart beat grow faint as the 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgusk0oO09E
coldness in me took over. I continued to stare at the stranger in front 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq71xoRX9lp
of me, praying that he could do something to help me.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXL5O1Dw3A
As though my thoughts 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgHEWdAAlF
had finally been heard, the stranger took a step closer towards me. For a777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLfbhNCAi1
moment, I finally felt that everything was going to be alright and I 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQnewVHhYH
was going to be saved. When the stranger had finally come close enough 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfQOIWINBX
to help, my eyes flew to the hood trying to see if I could see the 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyURRoM2fKO
stranger’s face, but I still couldn’t see a thing. The stranger 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLeq7kTjA3
continued to look down at me and even though I couldn’t see any facial 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOq92Cgu95y
features under the hood, I could feel the stranger’s eyes on me. When I 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxzeXefA31
had hoped that the stranger was going to help me, that hope was soon 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uacF4NNoU
replaced with fear in an instant, even in the frozen state I was in. My 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutaAblsO82
eyes bulged out in fear and I prayed in my heart for at least my nerves 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZUmM65W5s
to kick start again and I would be able to get away from this stranger 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmy9KJDDNx
who I didn’t even know.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxqeniJePj
As I continued to pray 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTrTa1QIl7
to myself, the stranger soon knelt to the floor on one knee and the fear777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2jjQV0f7R
in me almost ended my fading heart. The stranger quickly stretched out 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbXstYoFfp
his hand and held my cold neck. I could feel the strong hand grip 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtLgN1Jm5H
tightly around my neck and he was choking me out with the little air I 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFsK9sxC7J
could take in my cold state. When the stranger slowly stood, he was 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpzcIHZpgB
dragging me upwards along with him. We were now staring at each other. I777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0mUwHQ8WA
could still feel the stranger’s gaze on me because it felt like needles777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4l9S44hift
were pierced into my eyes. I continued to stare back into the dark void777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡda0r4RXER5
under the hood feeling helpless. I wondered what this person was going 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8RfSke7G7
to do to me.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwuWtc0VA2
Soon, a scythe appeared 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1LYWBmVLM
out of nowhere and it stood right beside the stranger in mid-air. The 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4PxFQzrnb
stranger took the scythe in his hand and in an instant, the scythe had 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVWpCqBK6k
transformed into a knife. My heart had started to beat faster than it 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtWw7Ct28j
had when I had been frozen. I had to admit that I was scared and I tried777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfFYOQlhDE
to scream for help, but it was no use. No one was here to help me and 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkaEL3FrJ3
this stranger in front of me seemed to have made up his mind about what 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0yzuyqn6V
he was going to do with me. At that moment, I prayed that all of what I 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFSxdZhCql
was going through was just a bad dream.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSjHnOknku
I continued to stare at 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPL1tdUSjyw
the stranger in front of me, with a knife in hand. The hand around my 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpwD5Kg1b7
neck tightened with every defying moment. I thought the stranger would 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoztGvDmLsd
have a final say before he drove that knife into me, but there was 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYoT62Hqcy
nothing but silence between us. With all of my might, and with all the 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgvHjAMbll
pain and coldness inside of me, I had forced myself to speak:777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcEJWG0mlV
“Plea…..please……do…..don’t do this,” cold mist escaped my lips as I spoke. “What wrong have I done to deserve this?”777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00PmZ0OgiK
A cold deafening voice 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSB88mJXPwI
echoed around me from the stranger who had held me captive, it was a 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCbc3Fpj7R
voice that could have sent anyone running for their lives:777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfI1glxoWQR
“Your time has come, Diana. This is your destiny and how it all ends!”777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0UoxKPprY
Before I could say 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55dK4Genyf
anything else, the knife quickly drove through my chest and I had felt 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6ZO4rBkYI
the piercing pain. Even though I was frozen I could feel the warm blood 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLCit5v9L7
flow out of my body and its coppery smell filled the air. I looked down 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpICW2euNAT
on my chest and I saw the red smear of blood staining my shirt. The 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJdug0VVRL
knife was quickly removed from my chest and the stranger drove it again,777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48KrngO5p7
this time into my stomach. This time I screamed out in endless pain and777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ64KrAdtmT
my scream echoed around the deep void. The stranger continued to stab 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQKq6vSj9R
me in so many places and I was left in antagonising pain that I 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcolUmsLDB
continued to scream until I reached a point where I couldn’t scream any 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPzyqiYjVO
longer. I was numb with pain.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjp3o1uxr8
My body soon felt limb 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutNLYR4uJW
and the next thing I knew I was on the floor and didn’t even know how I 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCkB9KjxKn
had ended up down there. The stranger continued to look down at me as I 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMByDl8s2wV
was bleeding out to death. I didn’t feel the pain anymore, though I 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfd4XgtgAJc
could feel something was living my body slowly. Was it my soul, I had 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUCE34W9UN
wondered. My vision soon became blurry as images started flashing in my 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh944qtaSk3
mind. Were those my memories of the life I had once lived? At that 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9r52xJdpag
moment I couldn’t even think or tell what was real and what wasn’t. My 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBshZwoOe4k
brain was dying so as the rest of my body. I could really feel myself 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcz89FBiSaL
fading into who knows where.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2xM0GRmUP
The stranger soon turned777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHT7swmT5xP
away from me with the knife in his hand which was covered in blood, in 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2Z7I3kBrk
my blood. As the stranger walked away, the knife in his hand soon turned777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRV1MeWRVs
back into a scythe and the darkness swallowed the stranger out of 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIruVG7wpD
sight. 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tw6Buzono
And I was left in the darkness, in a pool of my own blood, as I breathed out my last. 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOGrqhZdZF
“Diana!”777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIThUIE3zO9
My eyes quickly flew 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXoNtPgHnq
open and for a moment, I was oblivious of my surrounding. I felt a hand 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpUqIFrIbS
on my shoulder and Christine stood right in front of me with Amanda 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCoNhEMuln
standing right behind her. They both had worried looks on their faces 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9MefJ8KHv
and I hoped it had nothing to do with me.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhRK6OHAFz
“Why are you looking at me like that?” I asked.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8CSfJVfNf
“We were wondering if you were alright,” Christine answered.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwg9U49URm
“I’m fine as you can 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmGTJssKB3
see. There is nothing to worry about,” I tried to sound as normal as 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS50UHrFyB9
possible after what I had just remembered.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmx0Avt1pt
“It doesn’t seem that way to us,” Amanda said. The look on her face made me even more worried than they were.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpqdCGqoPD
“What do you mean?” I raised my eyebrow.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hLOFCMLyb
Amanda and Christine 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5er6vNlol
turned to look at each other, looking concerned. They went back to 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGqo5JdwG1
looking at me like I had just said something stupid.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8onZTiWNk
“Is someone going to tell me what’s up or do I have to play the guess game?” I snapped, growing impatient. 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXYJjy9J0q
“We came into the ward 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbBkGwjmru
and saw you seated on the bed with your eyes closed,” said Christine. 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt02GIpGnpL
“When we called out to you, you didn’t respond. When we shook you, you 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLzaagSabn
didn’t do anything. You just sat there as though you were deep into 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWz4ALv7Gq
meditation. But when we touched your skin you were as cold as ice. So we777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBM32ASbSh1
grew worried, calling your name and shaking you, but to no avail. We 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWJPG1lmTX
almost called for the nurse until your eyes flew open.”777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZVGW5Onb3
I sighed out in 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVWUVxLnJy
frustration as I buried my head into my hands. This was not happening. 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAd4yOavAb
What was going on? I had died this morning but somehow came back to 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy69NHeAYih
life. And now, just trying to remember my death made me go into a dead 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡly49oFhZyC
state all over again.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTy9P8lz98
“Hey, are you okay?” Christine asked. “What happened to you?”777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXE3jwyuY7q
I looked up at my 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lhZul1XFR
friends as they continued to stare down at me. I wasn’t quite sure 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCu900s4GMh
whether to tell them that they had been right all along about this 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYbe8oOTT1
morning or just try to make up some excuse of a story. I finally decided777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2uvDO8B0l
to tell them the truth. I wasn’t going to bear carrying this secret 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo83hALvwSu
around with me for long, so I sat upright and took a deep breath.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNc2ZodedJ
“Okay, I’ll tell you,” I777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwMSE9sUBu
said, trying to build up my confidence. I closed my eyes and opened 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCO8yyCyOx
them. And before I could open my mouth to speak, something strange 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnajfHUUSg
happened.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQXw4m9hJI
A vision of the stranger777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEz3bBkqu3
in my dream had quickly appeared before my eyes. He still wore the same777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JlYPfv0uK
black cloak and hood. He had a knife in his hand. The same knife he had777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDs6cd4QSmU
used to kill me. And it was all covered in blood and he was carrying 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfTiLNrDp2
something wrapped around his arm. A body all covered in blood.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOATBcaL2kp
Christine’s body!777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhsvotwha6
Was all of this a sign 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJblBp6V01
that I shouldn’t say anything? The vision had appeared out of nowhere, 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8VH161Tje
and that meant something. I swallowed hard as I quickly thought of what 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaEsHZ4x7Y
to say next.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Z0QZUrZZV
“I felt like I was 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJ03kNRNFm
coming down with something,” I lied. “I felt a little nauseous and I 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5YtoBtVlm
tried sitting up on the bed hoping the feeling would go away.”777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseZqfubUbV
“But we called out to you a thousand times,” Amanda said. “Why didn’t you say anything?”777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGB4sxCrTpC
“I fell asleep,” I answered. “You know sometimes I fall asleep while I sit upright. I do so in class.”777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0NgQQANOn
That was probably the 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnncIbaXwSG
worst lie I have ever uttered in my entire life. I don’t how know how 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONOVYZax1q
those words came out of my mouth, but they did. I continued to look up 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4xsX6lPqL
at my friends and I prayed that they would believe what I had just said.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdCEuGQ5By
I had to admit, what I had said was pretty cheeky. I wasn’t going to be777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLZBCJUZPt
surprised if they didn’t believe me.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIpaKD8l0v
“Oh, thank goodness,” said Christine in relief, placing her hand over her chest. “For a moment you had us all worried.”777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptrtmDtDOy
I quickly raised my left eyebrow. She believed that?777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGOniF1AG7
“Yes, me too,” said Amanda. “You shouldn’t scare us like that. What happened in the morning was more than enough.”777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEz5kRjBkGL
“I was just feeling tired and sick, that’s all,” I said, as I pretended to yawn.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxJhr4YeUc
“Okay, well the time we 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPOrTpwJQh
brought you here to the clinic the doctor attended to you and said 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzwboztvuQ
nothing was wrong with you, you just had low blood pressure,” Christine 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTWkAZQWxq
said.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRx6hvQydj
“I thought I was coming down with malaria,” I said.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHvZtgerYR
“Well, I’m just glad 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PRW9l3c8C
you’re okay. Our dorm mates were really worried about you when you had 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBb8NnnWzRg
fainted,” said Amanda. “They will be glad to see that you’re okay.”777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40NxsZ98Cl
“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.”777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQaFVC0c7a
“Whoa, hold on right 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8ksGX009X
there!” Christine held my shoulders and pushed me back on the bed. “You 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ovdaWOOqx
are not going anywhere, my friend. The doctor said so.”777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzseNowyJD
“But why? I’m perfectly fine,” I whined.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKbtQwuNoZ
“You need to run through777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAsv7nbizl
some checkups just in case this doesn’t become serious,” said Amanda. 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWx3qb6ImXf
“Looks like you have to stay here until tomorrow.” 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zyYI2YZgq
Tomorrow! The clinic was777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOszQDdbfRl
the last place I wanted to stay in, and better yet, all alone without 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0cpko0rvU
my friends. I soon started to think of the worst. What if the stranger 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fT5W2SVwu
came after me again? And this time, in real life chasing me around the 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2h4qYG28Dc
clinic with his deadly scythe? I swallowed hard as I imagined all of 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhUrwCrQOn
that even happening.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYvZqMwaOG
“I can’t stay here,” I continued to protest. “I’m perfectly fine. Tell the doctor to come and check up on me again.”777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vJ7dCw7do
“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.”777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaSdigS8E5
“But all of this is 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzP5lSl5T9
ridiculous. It’s just low blood pressure and you’re acting as though I 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9R9VWSjDv
have AIDS,” I was getting rather impatient. “Or is there something 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWu9aAgJVe
you’re not telling me?”777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyqqSH4Ybm
“I don’t know, you have 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDncG2rttIb
to ask the doctor that. He said you can’t go back to school until you’re777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ914SOemwtY
perfectly fine,” said Christine. “You better ask him why.”777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1C8EvtQvn
“Okay, where is he?” I quickly stood up, getting ready to see the doctor myself.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprpMu2nlSx
“He is busy with other patients at the moment,” said Christine. “You just have to wait and that will be like till evening.”777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfTEQb8WV8
I hate to admit it, but 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1c4V0fQWz
Christine was right. There were a number of patients who came into this 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9cSJ9OZVQ
hospital each and every day. And considering this place to be rural 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtMhhlAjmJ
area, a lot of people were prone to capture some tropical diseases and 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFDPz72Hvg
others. And there weren’t many doctors in the clinic to attend to all 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2j7h7leiQc
those in need of treatment. I just had to be considerate enough and give777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7N2b8cTjZ
the doctor some time until he checked up on me again. I just sat down 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXz2NsLhpq
on my bed in defeat.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDCvIvr7OW
“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.”777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0CYbP8ywC
“Speaking of class, the 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlotyEtlNsf
time for our break is almost up. We better leave,” said Amanda. “I don’t777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDlFNUXN4c
want to be late and end up on the offenders’ list.”777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWvIaqbhSu
“You guys go ahead,” I said. “I will get your books tomorrow and copy the notes.”777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouf3bGRT4y
“Alright, take care of yourself. We might come back in the evening to say goodnight,” said Christine.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHXHiY4Bma
“Okay,” I said dully as I777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPYQ7KFWpO
lay down on the bed. It was going to be pretty boring without my 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEPAnCkxdd
friends around and I sighed as they left the room. I was left completely777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHV5QauNwz
alone in the ward staring at the blank white ceiling above me.
