{continued from Lake Heart Prologues}<br/><br/>Deep booms of thunder rolled over the walls of the Asylum, shaking the structure to it's core. Lost in the rational region of her mind that had been locked away for the time being, a thought occurred to Julia: This storm seemed much stronger than any of the previous ones that had hit Lake Heart in her time here. The concern that accompanied this thought was almost immediately washed away by the waves of psychotic bloodlust that had flooded her consciousness.<br/><br/>Seeing the girl's futile struggles only served to further fuel the madness burning within her. Laughter boiled up and erupted from her gullet as she threw her head back in deranged delight. This is..<em>fun</em>...my god, this is<em>fun</em>. Julia couldn't tell whether or not she had only thought that or if she had actually spoken it aloud. She really didn't care either.<br/><br/>Although the lights were out, enough ambient light trickled in to see the patient's shaking form by. Julia gingerly plucked a razor-sharp scalpel from the tray beside her and approached the prone woman.<br/><br/>Stealing one of Dr. Ignatius' favorite catchphrases, she grinned fiercely and sprang towards the woman, landing atop naked flesh and cold metal and bringing the full brunt of her weight down upon the patient's already injured body as she gleefully said "Ooh Jessssiicccaaa...time to dance, darlin". As she landed, Julia caught a brief glimpse of the madness that lurked within the other woman's eyes. At first, she thought it was only a reflection of the crazed look in her own eyes, but the weak half-light illuminated something else in them as well: anticipation, as though Jessica had been waiting for just a such a moment as this.
