Medusa and her Dark Daddies

2005 Another day of torment trapped in my eternity alone I sat looking out my bedroom window at the world beneath me. Humans scurrying about in their mundane lives to go here and there, but I’ve despised the world for a very long time and now that I’m the only one left of the old ages it pisses me off even more. Yes, I’m ecstatic that those miserable pieces of s**t Greek Gods are long perished and dust, but the familiarity of a life stolen from me still haunts me. My name is Medusa and this is my story, the real story. As a young girl I believed that anything was possible, I was a starry-eyed believer back then full of innocence, fire, life and happiness; as I got older the only thing anyone seemed to care about was my beauty. It seemed I was one of the fairest in the land at the time; I hadn’t known it then, but it was the beginning of my curse but definitely not the end. I went to the temples to pray every day to the Gods whom I; like many others of my time believed in, my favorite being Athena the Goddess of Wisdom and War. Most young ladies of my time wanted to marry and have children and both of those things were the furthest from my mind, I wanted to be a scholar and a warrior to protect those who couldn’t protect themselves but in those times it was forbidden for a woman to partake in such activities and for me my destiny was pretty much already laid out by my parents especially since every red blooded male in our village was offering whatever they had to my parents for the sake of calling me theirs. I prayed everyday that my parents would see sense and let me be free along with praying to Athena, and for the most part my prayers seemed to be working because I hadn’t been sold out yet, so things were beginning to look up; or so I thought. As I finished my daily prayer and stood to take my leave I stumbled a bit until a strong pair of arms caught my fall, I spun around to thank my savior and saw the most piercing blue eyes I’d ever seen and my breath was stolen from me instantly. This was the beginning of my cruel end, the stranger asked me my name and it rushed out of me before I had the chance to think, it seemed like he played with my name on his tongue a bit as it oozed out of him, Me-Du-Sa… “hmm such a beautiful name fitting for such a beautiful girl” the stranger said, and it sent chills down my spine and not the good kind. I said to the stranger, “thank you, but I must be going, my parents are waiting for me.” The stranger tilted his head and smiled an uneasy one that caused discomfort in me more than anything as he said, well I’ll be seeing you soon and let me go with a smirk that sent fear to the bottom of my feet. I hightailed it out of there without so much as a glance back and I just felt the heat of his cold eyes on me as he watched until I was completely out of sight and even then I couldn’t shake the feeling of being watched. I won’t bore you with the details but from that moment on I knew my life was about to change drastically. It had been a few months since I went to prey out of fear of running into the stranger, but late one evening as I was sitting to dinner with my family I found out that my father had arranged a marriage between a goat herder who had alot of land and apparently way to many damn goats who had just settled in the area once he had heard of my beauty; in an instant I felt all my hopes and dreams shattered and my heart instantly broke into pieces and I ran out barely registering my parents screaming, my father telling me running won’t change my future and my mothers tear filled cries begging me to come back. I’ve never felt my body move so quickly as I ran desperately to the Goddess Athena’s temple in tears begging her to help me and in between sobs. I threw myself at her mercy in a last ditch effort to escape my fate. I just wanted to be free, I wanted to find my own way in life not marry the first farmer that came along with enough land and animals to offer my father. It felt like hours but in reality, it had only been minutes since I’d landed at her feet, I let out one more piercing cry that I knew was me giving in to my fathers will and it was then that I felt the hairs on my neck stand up but I was so lost in mourning I didn’t realize that the spider was about to pounce on the fly. Me-Du-Sa, I froze because I knew that voice my entire body froze because I knew it was him the stranger, how did he find me, why here why now??? He came to me then and coiled his arms around me to stand me up and face him. Tsk tsk tsk, now there beautiful one why are you crying, he asked. I said it was nothing and tried to leave but his grip on me tightened, I said, please me go sir I have to return to my family in response to my request  he laughed. He said not this time beautiful one, I’ve been waiting for you, my d**k had been hard for you since the moment I smelled you and now it’s time to claim my prize. In that moment he shoved his mouth on mine and slid his slippery tongue in my mouth as I screamed and tried to fight, but it was no use he took me on the floor of Athena’s temple and all I could do was cry and pray for her to come and strike this horrible man down. I was in so much pain everywhere, my clothes torn, my muscles ached he showed no mercy to my virgin body and when he finished he told me I belonged to him and he will be visiting me for more whenever he felt like it, any children I bore would be his and any lover I took would be murdered in my bed next to me for eternity, with that he kissed me and made me immortal. Once he finished, he left me as quickly as he appeared. I lay there crying and pleading to the Gods to help me, and that’s when she showed up. The Goddess of Wisdom and War herself, Athena, I was so relieved at the sight of her, I told her everything and begged for her help as I clung to the hem of her dress dirtied by the floor and with what the stranger had done to me, I was feeling as dirty and worthless as I’m sure I looked. I looked up at her with tears in my eyes, pain, and fury I’m sure etched in my face and the b***h slapped me and it f*****g hurt! I was in shock and confused and that’s when she called me a filthy w***e for seducing the God Poseidon, I just sat there in disbelief, so she continued. You think you’re beautiful and special, so you wanted to a f**k a God. Well, guess what b***h, you f****d the wrong God because he is Mine!! You will pay for this for the rest of your days you miserable cunt…. I sat there still on the ground, in a mess of my blood from him stealing my virtue, tears, and mixture of both of our bodily fluids, which the fact that I’ve yet to vomit is shocking; from the shock and pain that still radiated through my body from what the stranger, no Poseidon had done to me and watched the rancid b***h as she raged on and paced back and forth trying to come up with a fitting punishment for my apparent crime because apparently, r**e during those times was always the woman’s fault… She suddenly stopped pacing with the cruelest smirk I’d ever seen and said words that haunted me for centuries, “you want to trick men into thinking you’re pure and lure them into your bed with your beauty harlot well let’s see who comes to your bed to c*m after I make you as beautiful on the outside as you are on the inside and with that she left. I sat there unable to move for a time from shock, confusion, pain and heartache. When I gathered the strength, I began my journey home. As I neared my dwelling, I realized I got my wish because after I came home like this there was no way the goat herder would still want me, now that another man has had me whether it was against my will or not. I laughed a little as I thought to myself, guess it’s true you should be careful what you wish for. My father must have seen my figure approaching because he swung open the door almost relieved, then screamed and the next moment he was stone. My mother came running and saw my father and then me and screamed too, screaming monster get away, help, help, help. And I knew I had to run. I made it to some water to clean myself and see why they called me a monster and that's when I saw it, what that cruel b***h had done to me. Instead of my beautiful milky white skin and long midnight black hair with a perfect natural bounce, I had snakes on my head and scales for skin. I just ran for what seemed like forever until I found a cave that became my new home for a very long time.
