Chapter 7: UnDead Girl by Stephen Simpson
Peter stepped closer to her, and she lifted her arm.
“Okay,
try to stay still. You’ll feel a little sting, but I’ll try to be as quick as

Could she still use the word, born? She had no choice in leaving, to start her
life over somewhere she did not have any friends.

the skin in the crook of her arm. She balled her fists and scrunched her eyes
closed to keep from crying when she felt the sharp sting, as the needle pierced
her skin.
