Creative Writing: Ceres

Improved Essays
I attempted to call to my mother, Ceres, but it was pointless, she was never going to hear the startled cry of her beloved child. The pitiful cry would not have done much anyway, for the peculiar man who had just sprung from the hole in the ground leapt down from his chariot and scooped me right up. Off we galloped, and as we did, I cried and cried out again, hoping by some miracle my dearest mother would hear me and come to my rescue. He promised me flowers made of pearls and all the riches one could want, but all I wanted to do was climb into the lap of my dearest mother, Ceres.

I started to pity him as I saw how miserable he was. But still, he took me from my mother, I could never forgive him for that, or could I?
As the months dragged on in the dark abyss that was supposedly a palace I realized that I had taken a liking to this King Pluto...or at least to making him happy. Every day he asked if I wanted something to eat, and every day I refused. My stomach felt like an empty pit, waiting to devour the first thing that passed through my lips. But I ached for fruit of my mother's making. Pluto soon figured this out and sent his servants to scour the land for even a tiny berry, but all they found was a withered pomegranate.
"I only want to smell it" I said, half to the servant and half to myself.
But as I smelled it my mouth started watering like only a famished child's mouth can water. Before I knew what I was doing I had bitten into the roguish fruit that had been my demise. After I had bitten into the fruit Quicksilver came in to take me back to my dearest mother, Ceres.

    Standing on the curb, Veronica pulled her jacket tighter against the breeze, and exhaled the slightest bit when the charger came into view. Through the car’s heavy tint, she couldn’t see the driver exactly, but the effortlessly smug look from the driver’s seat when she climbed in was instantly familiar. Hands at her sides, feeling the seat’s leather as he peeled away from the curb, Veronica had to miss the bike, a little. Sure, the threat of death rang less imminent, even in the seat termed ‘shotgun,’ but oddly enough, sharing a console felt more intimate than the physical proximity of sharing the motorcycle. “Are you gonna tell me what this is about?”…
