'And so, Poseidon mercilessly took the young maiden's virtue in Athena's temple and destroyed her body. Medusa blamed Athena for not saving her, accusing Athena of being jealous of her and her sisters' beauty. 
Athena vowed that from then, Medusa and her sisters were no longer beautiful and turned them into Gorgons. Ugly beasts with snakes for hair, scales for feet, and eyes which turned their subject into stone. All three sisters were punished for an eternity of this curse and it is said that their offspring, borne from the venom of their fangs, too shared their mothers' curse.  Medusa and her children preyed on beating hearts carved out of their subjects whilst staring at their killer's eyes, petrifying them to share death. But while Medusa feasted on mortal's hearts, she craved for the beating heart of a child of Athena to satisfy her hunger for revenge on Athena. So, the children of Athena walk on the Earth and Medusa and her children will hunt for their hearts.'

Emmy's life is going just as she'd planned: She's living in her own apartment, dancing every day and is just leaps away from being named her company's next Prima ballerina. And she's only 17. But all of Emmy's plans come to a screeching halt when the FBI shows up at her door to let her know that she's being stalked by a serial killer. Suddenly, the safe, insulated world she created for herself is riddled with violence, fear...and a growing pile of dead bodies. At first Emmy wants nothing more than to forget her chilling new reality - but her admirer isn't finished with her yet, and before she knows it, Emmy's stuck in a nightmare she can't dance her way out of. Content and/or trigger warning: This story contains detailed scenes of murder, rape, torture, sex and stalking, which may be triggering for some readers. [[word count: 80,000-90,000 words]]
