After Proserpina ate the pomegranate she got from King Pluto she was told by her mother Ceres that she must stay with King Pluto for six months because of the 6 pomegranate seeds inside the fruit. Proserpina couldn't believe her ears, her heart and soul fell into darkness, devastatingly sad that she would have to wait to once again to witness the divine beauty of the surface. Proserpina glumly got back onto the golden chariot with the King of the underground. "Goodbye, don't worry Proserpina you will be fine." Ceres said reassuring Proserpina. "Now off you go, hurry up so I can see you again," the black horses Galloped away back to the deep and dark hole where Proserpina must wait. "Please, if you are going to stay here don't…show more content… Now leave me alone, I don't want to talk to you." "As you wish." King Pluto then left the angry Proserpina to herself. There must be a way to eat and drink without him or anyone that would rat me out, knowing, but how Proserpina thought. I can go to the chef and see if I can strike him a deal, I will have to wait till he is alone Proserpina plotted. As she is heading towards the kitchen Proserpina thought of what she could say to him as he might tell King Pluto. "Hello Proserpina. Are you ok?" The chef asked, curious to why she looked scared. "I'm fine, I just wanted to ask you…show more content… If King Pluto is to ask you about where the food has gone tell him that you are not sure and that I should know." "Ok, and thank you so much for your kindness."

"Proserpina, have you been eating without my knowledge?" stunned by the question she sat unsure how to answer him. "No, I have not been eating, nor have I had a single sip of any drink." "Ok then, so you won’t mind if I ask the chef if he has seen you take food or if he has been giving it to you?" "Of course not." Proserpina was scared that the chef wouldn't protect her now. But after talking to the chef, he believed that Proserpina has had no food or water. Then she went to talk to the chef knowing that there was now ears everywhere trying to eavesdrop on the conversation she was about to have with the nice man. "It's not needed anymore." He nodded, understanding what she meant. After the last couple of months Proserpina finally got to leave and go back to her mother. She would make sure this time to keep quiet about her eating any food. She hopped in the golden chariot next to King Pluto hoping that they can get there
