I let my body fall to my bed. Diana's smiled appeared in my mind. She looked so… happy. She was happy seeing me going to die. Tears stung my eyes. My friend, my best friend, was happy with me dead. I clutched my pillow close to my chest. Then I thought about how things will be if Alex was still alive. How will he forgive me? Before I realised that I was crying, I had fallen asleep.

The next day, I woke up in a worst condition I could ever hope. Mom informed me that I had gotten a fever and she left me at house to rest. I went to the kitchen to get some medicine for myself when a feeling of dread filled my stomach. I know it wasn't diarrhea(is this the correct spelling?), and I guessed that maybe I could get some sleep.

"Emily…"

I froze. Usually, fear will run up my spine but now, I was relieved. I regretted doing that to my brother. I hoped he was here. I want to tell him that I am sorry. Tears welled in my eyes and streamed down my cheeks. But I gasped in surprise when a cold hand wiped my cheeks. I looked up, and Alex was there.

"My sister is strong. Even if her opponent is a monster, she is strong."

I blinked. And blinked again, hard. But Alex's ghostly figure was still in front of me. Then fear shot through me when I remembered the incident that had occured.

"You really thought it was me, didn't you?"

I nodded reluctantly. I clenched my knuckles so hard that blood had already streamed down. Alex then smiled.

"She doesn't forgive you, but I did. Because it's her fault that we become like this."

I woke up in my bed. I looked around and saw it was evening. I huffed in annoyance. I hopped out of my bed and scanned the kitchen. Mom noticed me and she invited me to dinner. I smiled.
