The Lover of Medusa

Chapter 26

Lyra woke up again when she couldn't breathe, She looks around and found no light nor silhouette, the wind coming from the window was already cold indicating that it was already dark outside, she didn't even notice she had fallen asleep and something heavy is on her stomach, slowly sitting up Lyra touch the heavy thing on her stomach only realizing it is Medusa's tail when her hand made contact with it, Lyra's throat is dry and she wanted to drink so she tried to push Medusa's tail away from her, but it only ended up recoiling around her.

"What is it?" The hair on Lyra's back stood on it's end when Medusa whispered behind her ear, she could feel the snakes tongue touching her.

"I wanted to drink." She told her waiting for Medusa to let go of her, she held her breath and waited for her to let her drink.

" Let me get it for you." She told her, Medusa's Gorgon form allowed her to move to where the water is without having to let go of Lyra, she was big and almost eat the whole space of the cabin, once she had fetch the water she quickly gave it to Lyra who hungrily drink it.

"Are you hungry?" Medusa asked her, with still her body wrap around her.

"Yes, I am. What time is it?" Medusa slowly let go of her placing her down the bed, she heard a few rustling, she heard a few bumps here and there and heard the chair getting knocked down.

"Is everything alright? Are you hurt?" She asked worriedly but only hear a hiss as an answer, she heard the scratching of a match before she heard the fire crackling and the room glows, allowing Lyra to once again saw Medusa's form, she still hadn't transform back.

"What do you want to eat?" She heard her ask, Lyra licked her lower lip, she had been craving for some chicken since they arrived at the city, but Medusa doesn't have a chicken, but she sure does have eggs.

"I wanted to eat eggs." She told her standing from where she is and trying to Walk as to where Medusa is but her tail only wrap around her and puts her down on the bed.

"I wanna help." She told her patting her tail.

"No, stay there." Medusa said making Lyra pout, she wanted to help her, she's not completely useless, so she taps Medusa's tail again this time a bit stronger.

"Let me help please." She asked again looking at the silhouette of Medusa, when Medusa didn't answer she tap again and this time she heard a sigh. She felt Medusa's tail unwrap from her and and grin thug upon her lips as she quickly walked closer to her.

"This is the egg." Medusa took a hold of her hand and placed it on the tray of eggs.

"And this is the bowl where you can whisk the egg." Medusa places her hand on the bowl, next she had given her a fork to use in whisking the egg, Lyra did it and hummed as she enjoys whisking the egg, but in the middle of it she suddenly remembers something and stops, her face flushing and body growing rigid, she remembers that before she slept Medusa had kissed her. Kissed her on the lips, Lyra look as to where Medusa is and seems like she's starting to start the fire on the stove, she didn't know what the meaning of the kiss is, was it friendly? Or something more... She is only sure about one thing though, the kiss is sweet, Medusa, despite having a cold lips has a soft one. A heat crept on her cheeks and she quickly looks away, surely Medusa kissed her as a friend right? Athena and sometimes Artemis does that to her too, they would kiss her on her cheeks or her lips, they would giggle about it and the two would say they did it because they are friends, though Goddess Hera never kissed her on her lips,just on her forehead. So Medusa must have kissed her as a friend... But why does it felt so different? Why does it made her body heat up? Whenever the goddesses would kiss her she never blushed nor heat up like that... What's so different about Medusa?

"Lyra? Lyra? Is everything alright?" Lyra blinks and she saw Medusa's silhouette right in front of her, she blushes again and nods her head giving her the bowl of where the eggs are.

" Why is your face so red? Did something happened? Are you perhaps not feeling well?" She heard the worry in Medusa's voice and before she could worry more Lyra smiled and put a reassuring hand on her shoulder.

" I'm fine, don't worry that much about me." She said grinning, for a moment Medusa did not move but she did nods her head as she turn around and starts cooking, Lyra listened as the oil sizzles and the fire cracks, then her mind went on wondering again about the goddesses and their hobbies of kissing her, she wasn't shy about them, as they are her patrons and she knows better than to deny them what they wanted, but when she asked Hera as to why she only kisses on her forehead, Hera instead had ask her where would she wanted to get kissed and she pointed her lips and told her about the other Goddesses, Hera was silent after that and then disappeared... About a week later Artemis came to her and told her not to tell Hera anything they did when they are alone, even the kisses. Lyra had blindly followed it, then after Artemis, came Athena who told her that the only one allowed to kiss her is her alone, and those who will try to, will suffer from Athena's wrath.

A young servant was the first to witness the wrath of Athena when he drunkenly tried to kissed Lyra. The Goddess fumed and sent harpies to hunt down the poor boy.

"What are you thinking Lyra? You seem to be far away." She heard Medusa's voice, Lyra then smells the eggs and she couldn't help but grin.

"I'm thinking about the eggs, they must be delicious!" She lied, she heard Medusa chuckle and followed her as she walks towards the table.

"The rice isn't still cooked, can you still wait for it?" Lyra nods her head and watch Medusa's silhouette move around the place. Soon dinner was ready and the two ate in peace.
