There she was.

Medusa the Gorgon, cursed by the gods to be the most terrifying woman alive with snakes for hair and yet still somehow able to exude a sensuality that pulsed around her like a halo of blinding, white light.

She rushed out of her classroom like it was on fire. For a moment, I stared at her from my safe place in the distance. Surely, the class was full of people whispering about her, since we’d managed to spread even more rumors about how monstrous the new girl was. But I’d noticed Medusa walked everywhere like this.

Like she knew she was running out of time and she had to get to where she was going in a hurry. Such a strange trait for someone who’d spent most of her years locked away in a sea cave with nowhere to go.

But maybe Medusa just couldn’t stand the idea of wasting a minute of her freedom.

I frowned. Was that how I was? I certainly was when Orcus first freed us from our cages. I flew so high, I touched clouds, my poor atrophied wings finally able to stretch out to their full capacity.

I decided that was all Medusa was doing. Stretching out to her full capacity.

I followed her out of the science building and into the quad. The concrete pathways that crisscrossed over green grass were shaded by trees. She pulled her hood over her head—that’s right, she needed direct sunlight shining in her eyes in order to turn anyone to stone.

Was I supposed to feel comforted by this? I was suddenly reminded of what lethal weapons she had right beneath her forehead. Yet another reason she needed to go.

When she walked past the great, twisting cypress tree, I finally got up the nerve to call after her. “Medusa!”

She spun around slowly, almost warily, and narrowed her eyes.

“What do you want?”

God, even the sound of her voice made me ache with desire. The way her soft lips had felt when I kissed her, how she molded her curves against my body, those hips …. It took everything I had to keep from pulling her into my arms and kissing her again.

“I’ve been looking for you.” This seemed like a much better thing to say than, “I’ve been following you.”

“I can’t imagine why.”

“It’s your lucky day,” I said, feigning an arrogance I didn’t feel as strongly as I once had before I knew the taste of her lips.

“I doubt that,” she countered. “Otherwise I’d be back in my dorm room with a tray of brownies all to myself and you’d be a nice new addition to the school’s sculpture garden out front.”

A threat—but she knew she couldn’t turn me to stone. Not without causing serious trouble for herself.

“Brownies?” I repeated. Everything had changed since before we beasts were contained on Sicidonia Island—new clothing, new music, all of it. The world was utterly different, and if I wasn’t careful, I’d get whiplash from the changes—best to just stick to Orcus’s assignment and keep my tunnel vision focused on getting the Gorgon out of this school.
