What do u think?

Valerie reeled back. "Medusa?! What are you doing here??"

The ghost frowned and blinked at the red human in front of her. Her eyes cleared. "You. You have saved me from my captor!!"

Valerie blinked. She guessed her helmet would protect her since she had already looked at Medusa without turning into stone. But she avoided looking directly at her eyes, just in case. "Skulker? Oh yeah. I shot those green blobs out of you. But I couldn't help you escape," she asked confused. "They took you away."

Medusa seemed to grin, which was creepy. "You have helped me escape! Medusa turned her captors to stone and went back home. Welcome!!"

Valerie looked around. "This is your house?! Where are the others?" It was awfully quiet. Valerie expected more noise from such a big building.

Medusa deflated. "Medusa lives alone." She pointed at a statue Valerie had noticed before but not given much thought to.

It was a sculpture of a being, caught mid scream. Could have been a ghost or a human, Valerie couldn't tell.

Then, to her horror, she found more. Sculptures adorned the sides of the building and the garden outside. They looked as if someone had tried to make something beautiful out of something horrifying. A pitiful attempt.

In the middle of it all, stood Medusa. Valerie realized too late she was staring at the lady in the eyes. She checked to see she was still flesh and bone. She was.

Medusa hissed sadly. "Red human hasn't turned into stone. How?"

Valerie hesitated, but knocked her helmet with her knuckles. "I got protection. Isn't it lonely?"

Medusa seemed to shrug. She brightened. "Why has the red human come to Medusa's temple? Has red human come to visit?" She asked, elated.

Valerie flinched. "Umm no. Actually." She heard the sounds of fighting behind her and paled. "Medusa! The same guys that captured you are trying to get my friend! I need to go back and help him."

Medusa seemed sad that the nice girl didn't want to stay. Then she walked out to see the warzone. She hissed and the snakes squirmed around her head in a frenzy. "The captors are back." She turned to Valerie. "Medusa will help red human's friend."

Valerie smiled. "Really?"

The other nodded. "Medusa wants to punish those who dared capture me, Medusa. And Medusa owes red human a favor."

Valerie smiled and nodded. "Thank you. Want me to give you a lift?"

And so we see the Red Huntress carrying Medusa towards the battle.

Valerie meanwhile tried to explain the whole situation. "And please don't make a statue of my human friends or ghosts."

Medusa hissed questioningly. "Which ones are red human's friends?"

"Ummmm. The kids, mostly. Don't make a sculpture out of any kids or teenagers, human or ghost. Then there's this big dog and a wolf. I'll show you who they are. And whoever is near the dog or wolf and are protecting them, or vice versa, is good. Also my friend's parents and my teacher."
