Whole new world

Hiya. The title is the Disney song, and I guess it's kinda based off of the movie to, but there are only similarities between the two. I thought of this idea when I heard it two days ago. So I decided to make this fic and depending if I get any reviews and whatever I'll continue. So please review if you guys like it. Please enjoy.

It was 9:30 in Tameran and a red head poked her head out from under the covers. It was a beautiful morning, the sun was shining, the birds were singing a lovely song, and the air smelled of freshly cut grass.

"Princess?" An unfamiliar voice called out. The Princess was curious so she got out of bed and quickly got dressed. She made her way down stairs and ran into a boy she had never seen before. He was about five inches shorter than her. He had black raven colored short hair, muscular built body, and pale skin. He was gorgeous beyond anyone she ever saw, but the only thing that bothered her was he hides his eyes behind a pair of dark sunglasses.

"Oh, I did not know we were getting a new guard." She said with a warm smile. "I am Princess Korand'r; please call me Starfire, though." She said extending her hand.

"Richard Grayson." He said through clinch teeth.

"You are not Tamranian. What is your decent?"

"American." He said again with an altitude.

"Why are you here? Is America not the land of the free, yes?"

"Yes, but we can't always have our dreams."

"Have I done something to upset you?"

"I don't want to talk about. Your father wants you in the library."

"Thank you." She said before setting off to the west wing.

She tried to get him out of her mind. The way he acted was something she has never experienced before. Did she do something to make him hate her? She was only trying to be friendly.

When she got to the library she gave the door a light rap.

"Come in."

"The new guard told me you sent for me?" she said as she walked in. sitting at a desk as a tall warrior built man. He had shoulder length black, onyx black eyes, and orange skin.

"Yes I did. Koriand'r, you are nearing sixteen the ripe age to be married. I want you to be on your best behavior because there are suitors coming to meet you."

"Father, why must I get married to someone I will barely know?"

"It is our tradition to be married like this we always had and always will."

"But Father, I'm not trying to sound rude or disrespectful, but may I get to know them first."

"Koriand'r." He warned.

"But…"

"I do not want to hear your arguments."

"Yes, sir." She said with a sigh.

"Now I want you to go back to your room and get ready for the ceremony."

"Daddy, why so soon?" she asked in shock. "I thought I would at least have a few months to get ready."

"Well the king from Carberous wants to meet you to see if you're the perfect match for his son."

"But, daddy their people are monstrous, they kill their own people in the most gruesome ways."

"I know, but he has his eyes set on you."

"You can't do this. What if he grew tired of me? What if he wants other? Are you just going to let them kill me?"

"We're going to sign a contract for your safety."

"Oh like that going to help-" SMACK! Starfire fell backwards and hit her head on the fire place.

"You will not talk to me like that! Do I make myself clear!"

"Yes, sir." She said getting up.

"Now I want you to get ready we're going to introduce you to the kingdom!"

On her way back she spotted Richard the new guard walking toward her.

"And here I thought you hated me." She shot at him hoping he'd get the message about leaving the attitude behind.

"The other guards told me to bring this to you and help patch you up." He said studying her. "It looks like your father really did a number on you. What you do to get this beating?"

"It was not a beating it was a slap and for your information I was trying to stop him from getting me killed." She said matter of fact.

"Okay whatever floats your boat. Let's go to your room so I can patch you up."

When they reached her room Richard had her sat on her bed while he worked to stop her from bleeding.

"Richard, why do you work for us?"

"Huh." He said clearly taken aback from her question.

"You work for us, but clearly you do not like us."

"It's a long story."

"Maybe you can tell me as we go to the market."

"Me go with you anywhere." He said laughing.

"It is an order." She shot. He glared at her which in turn made her only smirk. "I'll meet you down stairs in thirty minutes."

"Yeah, yeah."

"Also, Richard, wear civilian clothing."

"Will do."

"And, Richard, you better leave the attitude here."

"Okay." He turned around to go to his room to get ready.

"Okay, what to wear?" Star said looking through her closet. She pulled out a whole bunch of clothing and couldn't find a single thing to wear. This was her first sneak away from the castle in to many years to count. No one knew of her existence until the day she has to find a suitor, but even after that she will still be non-existence seeing how the queen is just a trophy than anything else.

Thirty minutes later she came down wearing blue shorts with a purple tank top that showed every inch of her curves and purple sandals. She looked over at Richard. Her breath caught in her throat. He was wearing a red shirt with black pants and black boots with a leather jacket.

"You ready to go?"

"Sh, do you want to get caught."

"Caught?"

"Okay, so I am not allowed to leave the castle."

"Why?"

"It is a tradition to not show the kids of the king and queen in public until her ceremony."

"What ceremony."

"When a kid turns sixteen they are the ripe age to be married."

"You're sixteen?"

"Yes," she said stopping and crossed her arms.

"The way you speak and act sounds like you're a lot younger."

"Oh thanks. I try to stand up to my father and here you are putting me down." She said rolling her eyes. "Let us go."

At the market they stop at several shops and looked around.

"So you never told me."

"Told you what?"

"The long story."

"Oh, well, in America I was part of a family of acrobats. We were known as the Flying Grayson's. People came from all over just to see us perform our daredevil moves, but one someone came for protection money. When we refused he cut the ropes and my parents fell to their deaths. After that the cops found I had and aunt who moved here a few years ago, so they sent me to live with her and then a few days ago your father came to warn us about paying something off. Anyways long story short your father killed my aunt and he forced me to work at the castle."

"You are a slave?"

"Not really a slave. I get paid and all, but he's making me work for him, if that makes any sense."

"Not really, but I'll take it. I'm sorry about my father he can be a real jerk since my mother died. Ever since then he makes irrational decisions and everybody is fed up with him, but if this is haltered is to my father then why take it out on me?"

"Because you're his daughter, I don't know, I thought you were all the same."

"You shouldn't judge other people, Richard; it is not fair to those who are not like the rest."

"I'm sorry may I get to know the real Kor- Starfire." He finished when she gave him a death glare.

"My father is the only person who calls me by my real name."

"Understood, sorry."

"It is okay, I guess. It is just this whole ceremony has got me on edge."

"How is the Carberous race that bad?"

"They do terrible killings of their people. I once heard they hung a man up and poured Acid down his body for lying about some non-sense."

"Okay then? On a lighter subject so what does Starfire like to do?" he said in a slow voice with a disgusted look.

"Oh I love to daydream." She said in an energetic voice.

"Daydream, about what?"

"Well promise you will not laugh?"

"Promise?"

"I am dreaming of-" Starfire looked over, Richard's shoulder. "We have to go."

"What, why?" he looked to where Starfire was looking and cursed. Some of the guards were on the search for her.

"Come on." Richard said taking her hand and directing her toward abandon house or shacks if you would call it that.

"Where are you taking me." she asked in a fearful voice.

"My house is not too far of here I think we can make it and hide out until they give up."

They ran toward downtown part of the area. Where plagued and diseased infested people lived, but she didn't care she did not want to get caught especially since Richard was with her. As they neared downtown she could smell the decaying flesh left behind by people.

"How can you stand to live like this?"

"I've been living here for two years."

"Is this where you lived with your aunt?"

"Yes."

"I'm sorry. You shouldn't live here with all the bad memories."

"It's not all bad."

"I know, but still when I was little I'd wished someone would take me away from my home when my mother died."

"You know something."

"What's that?"

"You're not like rest of your family. My aunt and the others told me how cruel your family was, but you are the kindest, sweetest, and most caring person I ever met. Could you ever forgive, Starfire, for treating you so badly?"

"Oh, Richard, you did not need to ask me." She said with a smile.

Oh, I almost forgot if you guys want to give me any suggestions or characters names I will be happy to accept. Review and whatever, thank you, bye.
