Are Medusa's body hairs actually just tiny snakes?

Bio


I'm a sucker for romance, sci fi, fantasy and just about any modern city with a twist like monster hunting or super powers. Been writing for years, I didn't learn how to read till I was 12 so the moment I got the hang of it, I could not stop. Filling journals with stories one after the other, my younger sister eventually got me into role playing and it created a monster. I will play with you all day if you reply, post for post and will give you as much detail as I can.

It all happened so fast, the chaos, the knife flying past her face. The gun fire, the bolt embedding itself into Crest causing the woman to fall. It was all so fast. Her eyes wide she found her heart beating in a painful rate as she brought her pistol up the moment she saw Brick do the same.
Her sister's name ringing in the air she heard a crack through the sky. She blinked and it was done, her sister took the shot before Brick could even finish his words. When she looked back up Eden was gone.

Fear starting to ebb at her mind she began to hold up her pistol. Calm down, what was he going to do? Shoot her in the legs? No, this is the wasteland, nothing is fair, you had to act and you had to act fast.
About to do just that, about to act she felt her finger on the trigger. She was going to kill him, it was the only way. He tried to kill Crest! Yet she was not nearly as fast as Eden, or Chase.
The man had grabbed the foe named Rex, the times working with Eden finally paying off as he began to manhandle the other male as though her were fighting a death claw in that one moment of weakness.
Listening quietly the Raven raised her head, the sound of feet on the stage creaking under her as it groaned in protest. Umbra, capturing other vigilantes, that she heard of through the broadcast. Was it truly that bad? That she needed to team up with others in order to simply survive?
Running her fingers over a passage for comfort, Raven found herself taking in a deep breath. A soothing motion meant for herself as the air itself parted ways. "I offer support" her words falling from her lips, she felt as though she were being pushed into the open. Working...with others?
Only one creature even knew she had powers. And he was back at the stable, most likely wrapped in his blanket in a heap of shavings, within the heated stall. He could never betray her word..but other vigilantes? They could, and her entire career would come falling apart like brittle shards of glass, slipping through her fingers like sand.
Yet she still offered her support. It was the lesser of two sides. Yes, if a vigilant leaked out her information, she would loose her career. Her way of life and could be locked away by her own family. But if Umber found her, she might not have a family to be locked away by.

"But, this is temporary, I'm not vary fond of the idea that someone knows who I am. I'm sure you know why Ditch." Tapping her cane on the ground she sighed, the feathers around her mask tickling her features. "But I'd rather not be found by Umbra. Seems like he or she would prove a problem for everyone here."
It was an arena and she was in the sand. So long as she counted her strides right, she would be able to come out of this. She wasn't stupid, she couldn't deal with this alone. "Mini fridge?" The question out of her mouth she shook her head, guess Ditch was one that enjoyed humour.
If anyone wants to we are back in the chat room. discordapp.com/channels/15545418686621..
Well just Aurora and TB
Hearing the male next to her Aurora turned her head, her eyes seeing nothing. Yet to the others, a faint glow was seen in the eyes of her mask as though fogged over. "And a game" in truth it was. It was not something to be taken lightly. Yet she could not help but feel the same thought pattern one would have in a game of chess.
It was a game, a dangerous one that could get her killed. But a game non the less. Her cane in hand she held the ebony against her palm, tapping it once more to get a feel for where everything was.

A female's voice behind her she kept her ears keen. Same age, a bike? Some kind of engine was out there. Carefully she turned her head, hearing the words of one of the last new vigilantes, they would need money for a team? You needed money for anything but for a. "A team? Will this be like the others? Glorified police work on am iron chain?" She couldn't help but ask. Shes seen hero's become toys, measly puppets that could not take a single breath unless their commanding officer said they could.
And that was just not her, she would never bow her head in submission.
no problem man. Just talking about how Omage could throw Tank and do damage is all right now.
@lydyn

Just told them bout that and we are trying to fix it I think.
@CloudyBlueDay

There cleared up my post. Sorry, wrote it on the fly at first since I was kinda running out of the house. XD
@Sol Grim

Brow raised at the words Reena shrugged her shoulders, accepting the answer for now. "Guess life is getting to be hard on everyone now a days. Let me guess, its why you smell like a pot head to am I correct." She couldn't help but smirk at that, shes been taking in kids in the "troubles teen" system to "get the on the right track." Its how she got James, "sorry, but weed is a pretty strong scant, also its used in pain killers for horses with a cannon bone fracture so I really don't care."

Vader calming down with the hides on his back, saddle bags thumping at his sides the Red head found herself ruffling his mane. "Thats a good boy, see not so bad." Yet she couldn't help but laugh slightly at the words from the male next to her. A light thing, not in mockery but just in the sense. "No no, not at all. Yeah, I own that place now, its hard work but people come to see me. Vader here is actually named Beauty, he's a national jumping champion that supposedly went crazy on his rider and I been asked to work with him. I fix horses with people problems and people come with their horses. I also train kids so I get plenty of visitors."
Leaning back in the saddle the woman began to relax, yet the tapping crossbow on her back made her quick to realize that it was never a good idea to just zone out right now.
"Not to mention I'm kinda a nerd, I..I kinda go to comic con and Pax every year and went overboard.soooo, well lets just say I get lots of company online...." Rubbing the back of her neck she felt the tips of her ears turn pink. What would people think of her once they realize that she is one of those people who would put a few hundred hours in a game while playing for around 13 hours at a time?

Coming into contact with the concrete she pulled off her crossbow, back straight she began to look around, mentioning for Jonny to do the same. James was right, the place was loaded with scavengers trying to pack up their bags and get as far away from here as possible. "Stay close, and if someone asks who you are just let me do the talking."
The stallion starting to get hot headed when his hooves hit the pavement, Reena found herself squeezing his sides with her legs. Her quiver bouncing with the high stepped trot. "Easy boy"
Easier said than done when a car sped past not even feet from her. Lucky Johnny was on the easy tempered draft, but Vader? The ebony beast went right up in a rear, her seat sliding slightly as she hung on. "Easy by, calm down, easy." Her voice soothing she took him into the parking lost, the yells coming from inside other shops she went to the back, dismounting as she tied the horses down. Taking the saddle bags she helped Johnny with the one across Gandalf. "Aright, get in and get out, look for water, medical supplies and weapons aright? Those are gonna be the first to vanish, be careful."

With that she opened up the back door, there was probably seven other people inside ransacking the place. Shoving each other out of the way yet paying no mind to the new comers. They were just trying to get supplies and leave before something real dangerous was about to show up. "Poor Tom, probably didn't stand a chance protecting this place."
Going through the isle way she began filling her bag with bandages, flash lights, batteries, anything that she knew was going to become scare later. Her mind flashing she went to the font desk, sliding over it to find the hunting knives. Stocking up she was already putting a few on her belt, finding her partner to hand him two as well.

She didn't speak, only work. Pain killers, water, a few emergency food rations. she was fast, making far better time with Johnny's help. Every few minutes checking in on her horses in the back to make sure no one made off with them.
At the front area her saddle bags becoming slightly heavy she was packing in a small water purifier when she felt someone grab the back of her head. Slamming it into a shelf.
Pain, sheer pain ransacked into her skull, too dizzy to stand as she fell in a heap of boxes and cans. A groan escaping her she tried to get up only to find someone grabbing her arm. She recognized that face, black shaggy hair, cowboy hat, brown eyes and a smug smirk. "Oh shit"
It was her ex, David Smith, cattle ranchers son who she kicked to the curb and he never really been civil with her since. "Oh shit is right, everything hit the fan and your trying to get Tom out of business." Something warm was running down her face, he probably gave her a bloody nose, everything was cloudy, if he wasn't holding her up she would be swaying.
"Tom's not here, every man for himself." Thats all she could think off yet as the male nodded she felt a fist in her gut causing all the air to escape her lungs. It was what she needed though in a sick twisted way, she woke up, the dizziness gone for only a moment she grabbed a cane beans and smashed in the side of his skull with all her strength. It was enough for him to let her go, scrambling away only for him to pull her back, her head slamming into his face with on instinct, clouds running through her vision again.
Grabbing her bag she was top heavy for a second as she began to run to the back. Blood straining her shirt she fell slightly, crashing through a basket of dog treats she reached for her cross bow only to find that for some stupid reason the bolt wasn't in it. "Come on come on"
She was trying to pull back the string. A full 130 draw though was proving to be difficult for shaking hands. "Come on" she just needed to load it, just point it at the ass hole and he would leave! Thats all she needed!

James looking up at the question he shrugged his shoulders. "Was gonna try my senior year again next year. Dropped out because of some stupid shit, got into trouble, landed me in juvy." He kept looking around as they road, any signs for anyone. Reena's words in his head of how she reminded him to keep his senses sharp. Anything could happen.
Oh how right she was.
"Thats how I came here actually, I was in the system of rehabilitation or whatever. They said that some time on a farm would be good for me. Honestly I thought my boss would be my worst nightmare since she works with a place for "helping troubled youth" though that changed when I found out she just called me a "shit that needs his ass kicked." Laughing a bit at the memory he turned them through a trail again, leading them through the near by woods of the main roads.
"Honestly shes more like a mother than my actual one. Least she never forgotten me somewhere, actually shes been one to pick me up whenever I called her saying how my mom was drunk or some other stupid thing and I was stuck at some crazy crack house." It was true, the red head was far more like family than his real one was. Taking him with her to conventions so he could meet his favourite actors or play new games, getting him registered to try again at school even though he previously dropped out. She really helped him clean up, even taking the time to home school him so he was ready for a new year. "Guess all that work was for nothing, I was actually gonna try this time to. Least I could do for all the shit she put up with."

Nose catching the smell of smoke he dismounted, handing Ethan the reins as he moved about, low to the ground. "Someone was here, old camp fire, maybe from last night."
Moving around he began to kick up leaves, dirt, anything to uncover something. "Lets see here...Ha! How old are your kids? Did they take vitamins or something?" He was hoping he was right, holding up a old cartoon vitamin that turned to chalk in his hands he kept looking around. Least he didn't feel useless. "We're pretty close to the main road to, if this isn’t them than we can at least track them. Its someone's kid and I'm betting a mom would feel better with a group."
Not every post can be crazy badass, gotta fill in the gaps.
Man I don't even want to know how many times I was thrown. I was drug, ran over, cloths lined on iron safety bars. Came with the turf of training I guess XD
Though driving is a fun pain. Gotta put more effort in avoiding blind spots I guess.
