I couldn't believe how fast my vacations were over. Well, now...I felt a bit bad. I was enjoying two weeks of holidays. My aunt and Uncle never had a child and so I was like one to them. And my aunt's Pelimini had no contest. Two weeks of food and enjoyment resulted in the change of my shape. When I came home, I was like a dried tree stick and when I was going back to school, I was, like an oversized tree trunk. Well, there's no time to waste. I took the same train and went back to our school. I walked straight away to my room, of course, I was late by fifteen minutes now. But as I was getting closer, I heard someone talking or maybe pleading (Cauz it sounded like that). I stopped and waited for the person to talk. I recognized the voice; it was Ann. I was sure she was talking to someone, but that voice wasn't clear. I listened carefully. It went something like this-
"No, don't harm me, I am scared of you. Go getaway. Go."
I sensed danger. I opened the door. Ann was sitting at the darkest corner of the room. I looked around. No one was there in the room. I rushed to her. She had her hands around her knees, keeping them close to her body, whimpering and shivering.
"What happened Ann? Did someone enter the room?"- I asked her, helping her onto the nearest bed.
"No, I-I saw something over there, a str-range figure. Standing by the s-side of the window. It had mist all over it. It t-talked to me, Sara."- She stuttered looking at me with her red, bulgy eyes.
"What did it say you?"- I asked, my insides did a sort of aerobics and my heart started hammering against my ribs.
"It said that she wanted to kill me. It calls me, its sister. I don't understand this. It is saying that it will kill me, Sara. She's gonna kill me."
I took her hand and rubbed it gently and said.
"No, nothing's gonna happen, okay? It might be just a bad dream or something. Calm down."- I said this although I knew it was really, I knew there was something going on in here.
We were already late for the class. We walked to the school, thinking over and over about what just happened, While we were walking through the corridor I advised her not to say anything to anyone about this strange thing. We entered our class it was Mr Dave's period. He was our Math teacher. We told him that we were a bit late because we had missed our bus from the railway station. He believed us, for God's sake. During the dispersal, Ann joined me; we slowly walked back to our dormitory. It was then, Flores came running to us and said-
"Hey Sara, Grimilda has just fallen down from the stairs and got herself hurt. She's got a big injury on her head, and she's bleeding. We have to take her to the hospital."
"Yeah, yeah. We are coming. Wait."
Grimilda Felinston was my junior(She was in 8th grade) but I liked her a lot. She was an orphan. But she behaved so royally, that it was really hard for us to believe that she was an orphan.
I and Ann ran to her rescue. Mrs.Lengel had called the ambulance on the spot. And as there was heavy rainfall, the ambulance driver said that he wouldn't be able to reach us on time. So we decided to take her to the nearby clinic. Me, my friends and Mrs.Lengel rushed to the clinic with Grimilda.

Now she was okay. Her haemoglobin levels were rising up rapidly. As to us, we didn't eat anything in the evening so Chris, Ann, Lavinia, Flores, Mrs.Lengel and me, went to 'Relish On'. It was the nearest hotel we could find. We had our lunch and returned back to our hostel, leaving Lilly and Jess(Grimilda's friends) in the hospital. Anyway, the time was 6 in the evening and Lavinia was complaining about the food that we had from Relish On.
After praying, we all turned to our study place to do our homework( Another Nightmare). I couldn't sit still in a place even for 5 minutes, but as a matter of fact, if you wanted to survive in your classroom, you gotta do your homework. A few hours later Nicolina came and said that we were supposed to assemble in the Mess Hall for dinner. We were given sandwiches, salad with a very tasty dressing and a cup of hot chocolate. We ate to our heartfuls and went back to sleep (Ahhh...this is my favourite time..Sleep!!)
