i'm so lonely.

Quarantine wasn't going well for Belladonna. Sure she didn't really like working for Aliana, but she really didn't like being isolated, alone in a den while mushrooms were growing out of her eyes. It started small, just slight cough from a strange irritation she felt in her lungs. By the time she woke up that morning, the unexplainable happened. Thankfully, she wasn't alone, but she was actually alone... and that's what made it worse. It would have been better having at least someone to stay with her, even if they were infected with something.

For now, she was pretty lucky. Only one of her eyes grew mushrooms and leaked a strange blue goo, and same with the ear on that side. Her left side, however was fine... for now. It was only a matter of time she imagined before that eye would also be claimed, leaving her completely blind. Would this be permanent? Would she have mushrooms growing out of her head forever?
