Chapter 110 - Medusa (1/2)

Anna dragged down with Theoric as he ducked still clutching her hand, worriedly asked- ”What?! What's wrong!?”

”She just shot me in the face, gave me the scare of my life,” he exclaimed overly dramatic.

”Are you okay?” asks Anna worriedly as she reaches over to feel his face, only to feel his energy shield was completely intact, her face went stoic as she hit him in the arm to no effect cause of the energy shields.- ”Don't scare me like that, I should have known better than to worry about you, humph!”

”I just got hit in the face by surprise, and you hit me while I'm still blind in response? Please show a little bit of sympathy for my poor heart.” Theoric said in a hurt voice, not willing to give up his acting.

They were however interrupted from their play when Medusa slithered over and looked through the hole, her living snake hair nipping at the edges of the barrier as she peeked in. Upon spotting them she gave her equivalent of a roar in her unique snake way as her face morphed in order to hiss at them while showing her snake fangs, tongue, and eyes.

Stopping when she noticed they couldn't see her with their eyes covered. She then twirled back around with her snake body, giving herself a bit of height as she took aim and fired through the opening.

Theoric once again hit in the face complained- ”Shit, she hit me again, you know there is someone else here right?”

Anna's eyes widened under her blindfold cover as she smacked him again- ”Did you just say that?”

Theoric turned his head away- ”Um, no you must have miss heard, I said, keep them coming at me as long as you don't hit my beautiful woman.”

Anna snorted- ”Just keep quiet and let me speak... Medusa! we mean you no harm, we were sent by your mother to help you.”

Hearing everything go quiet, Anna asked- ”Did you hear me? Your mother sent us to help you.”

Medusa still not quite believing it angrily slithered up to the hole, pulling her bow as far back as it could go, taking aim point-blank- ”SAY IT AGAIN!” She yelled, ready to fire if they say one thing wrong.

Of course not seeing this, Anna calmly responded, knowing how alone, sad, and hurt she must feel.- ”We were sent by your mother to help you, she loves you and misses you dearly, please let us help you.”

Medusa still holding her shot, asked once more- ”Is it true? Did my mother really send you?”

Anna- ”Yes, please let us help you.”

Medusa sadly lowered her weapon- ”Is my mother okay? How is she doing?”

Anna- ”She was miserable without you, trying her hardest to get someone to help her, help you, but she was doing better before we left, we help lift her spirits, promising her that we would come to help you.”

Medusa's eyes watered as she listened- ”I'm glad she's doing okay... tell her to forget about me and move on, tell her to live her life again,” she then turned around to sadly slither away, not believing for a second that they could do anything to help her.

Anna called out as she heard Medusa leaving- ”Hey! Don't leave, we've come to help you.” she then got up to follow only to run into the dome, then turned and hit Theoric again, ”Lower the dome, I'm going after her.”

Theoric grumbled- ”You don't have to keep hitting me.”

Anna squinted under her blindfold- ”What was that?” she coldly asked, still not appreciating his goofing around from earlier.

”Nothing,” he said before grabbing her hand,- ”Remember we have to stick together, don't go blindly running around without me,” he said lowering the dome.

Anna impatiently hurried him along- ”Hurry, she's getting away... Medusa! Come Back!”

Medusa looked back watching them stumbling along to keep up with her- ”What do you want?”

Anna- ”We came to help you, so let us help you.”

Medusa scoffed- ”You don't look like Gods to me, what help can you give?”

Anna fell silent not exactly sure how she was going to help.
