"Hello, Julia." she greeted her, only to make a sound of slight distress at seeing her friend's wrists.  Julia had been trying to get out and her wrists were red and even cut in places "And you shouldn't do that to yourself, either."
 
She raised her hand and ran her finger along one of the cuts that was bleeding and drew back a drop of blood, already feeling the Hunger within.
 
"Don't." Julia whispered, the first real thread of fear unfolding within her as Alex looked at her blood and then at her.  She couldn't suppress the emotions from her gaze and, with Alex, didn't want to.  Maybe if Alex saw how scared she was it might trigger some kind of resistance within her  "Don't do this us, Alex.  We're your friends.. your family.  They want to hurt Derek.  Please don't let them hurt Derek."
 
She gripped the chains in her effort to try and reach the real Alex "Don't let them hurt my baby..."
