I wheeze as Anastasia comes to a stop. We've been running for what feels like forever after hearing people talking and laughing nearby.
It might've just been hunters coming back after a hunt, but we couldn't take the chance of being caught.
It's been a few days since we left the village. I'm getting nervous about meeting Medusa. Anastasia keeps reminding me that she'll help me, but I can't help but feel nervous.
What if she decides to not help me? What if I'm not in a position for her to even give help?
The scenarios of being turned away by the gorgon fill me with fear and anxiety.
"We're almost there, just another few kilometers or so," Anastasia tells me, squeezing my hand.
She hasn't let go of my hand since we left. I think she's afraid I'll fall behind or she'll lose me if she lets go. Maybe Sophia told her to not let go? Whatever the reason, I'm glad for the constant warmth.
"I'm..." I start to speak but stop myself.
We both fall silent as a nearby rustle shakes a bush.
"What do we have here?" A woman's voice asks.
