Stone Soldiers 1: Mythical (19 page)

Kenslir closed the box.

Josie looked back at Jimmy, a frozen figure of stone. She ran her hands over his stone body. Even his clothes had been petrified.

Kenslir handed the steel box containing the head of Medusa back to the doctor’s assistant. The assistant hurried away with the box, taking it through a door on the other side of the chamber.

“What did you do?” Josie demanded.

“This way the Fountain’s curse can’t kill him,” Kenslir said. He held out a hand to help Josie out of the water.

“I don’t-“ Josie started to say. “Why wasn’t I-?” She ignored Kenslir’s hand.

“Medusa’s eye only works on men.”

“Why?” Josie demanded. She felt tears welling up in her eyes again. She had gotten Jimmy back, now he was a statue.

“We have to wait for the next full moon,” Kenslir said. “Then we’ll see if Jimmy’s ready to enlist.”
