The Corrupt

"Ms. Fennbirn, you may want to look away." The man who was taking my blood told me. I looked the other way, and saw the handsome boy who looked about my age. I felt a pinch in my neck, and I winced, my eyes automatically closed shut, and I bit my lip to give myself a distraction pain.

"Oh my, "He winced, but he didn't have a large needle in his neck. " Arsenic, come here. " He said, the boy I was staring at walked toward the man who was taking my blood. Arsenic, it revolves around poison, if I'm correct.

"Sir, she's corrupt. " A different voice whispered, I matched it to Arsenic and his appearance. And then reality seemed to have hit me, "Corrupt?" I turned back to the man, and whisper yelled. They looked at each other, and Arsenic looked back at me and then to Dr. Fynn.
