The more details about his pursuit of the other four, the more his grin grows, "I knew if I could get Jalen I could get Chris since they were both from Detroit.

Proserpina had stayed with King Pluto in his palace. She spent most of her days ogling his tremendous rose gardens. She loved picking the roses and finding the small white pearl that lay within the rare ones. Red roses were her favourite, their lush, bright petals never drooping or falling, and in some circumstances, they smelled sweeter than any of the other roses. Proserpina’s favourite rose of all, however, was one made entirely of rubies and emeralds. The red rubies made up the petals and the

made Sophie so happy to be able to enjoy the warm weather. The birds were chirping and Sophie couldn’t help but hum along. She was nearing the lake when she heard crying. “Hello? Is someone there?” she asked. “Yes! I’m over here! I’m stuck in the rose bush” a voice answered. She ran over and found a wolf stuck in the thorny branches. “Don’t move around or you’ll keep scratching yourself!” she warned. “Okay, just please get me out!” the wolf replied.

Despite their magnificence, flowers must remain stationary. It is a prison, yet no one thinks beyond the simplicity of a pretty flower.
