Insanity (Mario)

Chapter 34

Ugh...

Where am I..?

Rosalina slowly opened her eyes, closing them cautiously.

She was tied down to some sort of hospital bed. Of course, it was the nursery. Well, it was more commonly known as the Fountain- for it was said that the water there would heal you as quick as a blink.

"Ah, you're awake," The healer, Angel, floated over to her. She had long white hair and piercing blue eyes. She had the appearance of an actual angel, all dressed in white. Angel also waited tables in her free time for extra income, but free time didn't come very often for her... Obviously. "Not very often we see you in here, Miss Rosalina."

"What... Happened...?" Rosalina tested her bonds, and finding that they were strong. Of course they were. She knew that already.

"I'm... Not sure if I'm the one who should tell you that," Angel looked away. "All will be explained later. Probably. I'm not sure why they would keep that from you when they've told the others."

"The... Others...?" Rosalina asked, confused.

"Yeah," Angel motioned to the three to the right of her- cuffed down, the same as her. "They're knocked out, for now."

"Why... Did you... Knock them out..?"

"...well, they had to be... You'll see."

"They had to... What...?"

Angel shook her head, and left before Rosalina could get her answers.

What happened? Why was she stuck at the Fountain? She couldn't remember what had happened since- oh.

Since she'd been injected with the serum that was meant to "protect her from disease." Rosalina hadn't really questioned it, just assumed it was another way of them trying to "help" her. Now, she understood- somewhat. The injection had made her brain washed or something- she didn't remember anything. The question was, what did she do during her blackout?

She didn't really want to know what kind of damage she'd done, but she'd obviously been detained, based on the pounding sensation in her head.

Yeah, she'd messed something up... Or maybe it wasn't her fault? Maybe someone else engaged her in a fight? Whatever happened, she couldn't be held responsible- she was mind controlled.

But... What if she killed Daisy?

Oh no. She couldn't have killed Daisy. No way.

She began to struggle against her restraints, hoping she hadn't killed her roommate who was so set on leaving. It was no use, she knew, but she knew she had to try.

She could never forgive herself if she killed Daisy... Not after what happened. Not Daisy. More than anyone.

Not. Daisy.

"Rosalina, please calm down, or I'll have to knock you unconscious again."

"Tell me...Angel, is Daisy alright?"

Angel was clearly taken aback by Rosalina's sudden outburst.

"I... Um... I don't know," Angel replied. "I don't know who she is... So I can't really tell you. If you give me a physical description, I can try to tell you if she-"

"Brownish-orange hair...Blue eyes, golden crown.. Orange dress."

"Well, she wasn't in here..." Angel responded. "I don't know if that's much reassurance, but that's all I can say."

"....alright..." Rosalina wasn't very convinced, but there wasn't much else she could do. "...tell them.. To bring her here when they can..."

"I'll do my best."

Rosalina didn't understand what was happening, but she was going to do her best to find out.

<><><>

"Do you think everyone is alright?" Daisy paced back and forth in Kaira and Saiko's cell. Kaira was out running some errands, so she was left with Saiko... alone.

Which can easily make anyone's sanity go down the drain.

"Mm-hmm! Saiko's sure she's fine!" Saiko hummed happily, sitting on the bed, her legs swinging back and forth. "Although Saiko would prefer if she wasn't..."

"Saiko!" Daisy frowned. "You shouldn't say that!"

"Why not?" Saiko shrugged. "Saiko doesn't see a problem."

"Saiko, Rosalina's my friend."

But she's not Saiko's friend."

An awkward silence ensued. Daisy often forgot Saiko hated Rosalina's guts, and Saiko wasn't exactly the best person to go to in the first place.

"Daisy, Saiko's sure Rosalina is fine," Saiko answered. "For now, before Saiko goes after her. But for now, she's fine. Mario wouldn't let Rosalina die."

"Why not?"

"Mario likes Rosalina!" Saiko giggled. "Isn't that funny? He likes one of us! He likes a freak, as he always says!"

Daisy didn't know why Saiko had all this hate towards Rosalina. She really wanted to know, but figured it was rude to ask. So instead, she asked a different question.

"Freak? Is that what you see us as, too?"

"Saiko didn't say that," Saiko frowned, her blue eyes drooping. "That's what Mario thinks, not Saiko. Saiko would appreciate it if Daisy stopped talking about it."

Yup, as sensitive as Daisy expected. But why? What ever happened?

Daisy didn't understand what was happening, but she would do her best to find out.

Hey everyone! I'm so sorry for the lack of updates!!! I got stuck on this chapter for a while... Sorry!

Anyway: what do you think Rosalina did?

Thanks for reading!
