As the blood poured down her forearm, Julia screamed in bloody terror.<br/><br/>She had dealt with violent patients before, but never had one attacked her so gruesomely. The bright red fluid dripped off and pooled around her feet as she huddled by the door. Seeing her crimson life's blood running down the chin of..what was the patient's name? Jessica?....she felt her gorge rise over the lump of fear in her throat. Shaking so hard that she was practically spasming, Julia slowly made her way over to the silver tray of instruments. She took a bit of soft gauze linen and soaked it in 70% Isopropyl alcohol. She gritted her teeth with a sharp intake of breath as she cleansed the still-seeping wound. By the time she finished, the previously pristine white gauze was soaked in various shades of red-- darkest in the center, and lighter as it radiated outwards.<br/><br/>Still nervous about the crazed woman watching her from the center of the room, Julia bandaged her arm. As she did so, her fear slowly turned to anger. She had been careless, true, but the<em>perra loca </em>was bound. As long as she was careful from now on, she should be able to handle her. Her anger fueled her, and dark thoughts began to take shape in the nether regions of her mind. Being locked away with so many psychopaths took it's toll on a person's mind, almost as if the very air was permeated with lunacy that had slowly seeped through the cracks of Jula's sanity, tainting the healthy brain within.<br/><br/>Pushing her supply cart behind the bound patient, Julia made sure that Jessica could see that she was preparing a fresh cloth to clean her with. She disappeared behind her, out of the patient's sight as she whispered soothingly-<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Calibri;">"<strong>Hush now, honey. I'm sorry..I didn't mean to make your sister uncomfortable. I'm a nurse after all. I'd never do anything to hurt my patients..."</strong> </span><br/>Grabbing the ball of gauze she had used to clean her arm, Julia wrapped the fingers of her other hand in the leather-bound woman's dirty black hair. Yanking Jessica's head back forcefully, she brought her ear up to her lips. Lipstick like dark red wine smeared across her ear where Julia's plump lips met her flesh as she whispered "<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Calibri;"> <strong>...but I suppose I could make an exception for you </strong> </span>". As those last five words left her lips, her voice rose in volume and took an a ferocious edge as she violently pushed the soiled gauze into Jessica's mouth. Blood and rubbing alcohol leaked from her mouth and dribbled down her chin, washing away the line of saliva that had been drying there.<br/><br/>Julia quickly withdrew her hand and sprung backwards before the crazed woman could bring her teeth together onto the fingers that had stuffed the sodden wad of gauze into her mouth.<br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Calibri;">"<strong>Does it taste as good as my arm did, darling?" </strong> </span>she asked sweetly, before her face took on a hard, vicious look once more.<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Calibri;">"<strong>That should teach you not to bite the people that take care of you! We're here to help. Take it out on the doctors if you feel so bad, but don't you <em>ever</em> do that to me again</strong>."</span>
