I stood up slowly, but from the corner of my eye, I saw that Janiya suddenly rushed over at me.
She had somehow managed to grab the syringe from the floor. The tip of the needle was raised high.
At that moment, it was as though time slowed down to a crawl. I could even see the madness and cruelty in her eyes as she swung the needle at me. But my feet seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. I couldn’t move at all.
Debra’s POV:

Janiya was too far gone. In a wild frenzy, she stabbed the syringe into

I sobbed even harder. “You liar! You’ve been lying to me this whole time. Why should I trust you?”
He tried to say something, but he was too weak and his words were incoherent.
The poison was spreading at an alarming pace.
