Kori's POV

"Keep churning Korina!"

Korina is a beautiful girl with long ruby red hair and has the brightest emerald eyes.

Her one curse is that she is fettered to the life of the Amish. After her parents were killed in a fire, Korina's grandparents Mary, and Jack took her to the deserted Tameran, the isle of the Amish.

"Korina! I said keep churning! The milk will get lumpy and what will we use for dinner?" Mary exclaimed.

"Beschleunigen sie dummes madchen!" her grandfather scolded. (hurry up foolish girl )*in German*

Her grandmother and grandfather were cruel, heartless people that ordered Korina around like a slave. They whipped her, smacked her, hit her, and shoved her if anything was not done properly.

"Korina! Listen madchen. Tommorow you will be traveling to Gotham City with your class to observe city life. The Council will ask you if you wish to live there or remain Amish. You will tell them that you wish to remain Amish or you will be disowned and die poor and alone. Horen sie mich?!" (do you hear me)

Richard's POV

"I think I speak for this entire company….and Mister Grayson, that this is an excellent business deal that will raise our stocks a full 10%. Richard, what do you think?" Bruce Wayne said.

At the mention of his name, Richard woke with a start from his chair which he had been dozing in.

"Yea. It's a great idea. Whoo hoo. Can I go now?"

"Meeting dismissed." Bruce called out as he walked to Richard's side.

"Richard, what does it take for you to stay awake for one meeting? ONE MEETING?!"

"One hell of a cup of coffee." He retorted.

Richard left the building wondering to himself what the purpose of this crap is when he saw his best friend at the park.

"Hey Rae." He said sitting on the swing opposite her.

"Richard, I need your help. I'm doing a thing for Gar and it's like a riddle. Snakes slither in and out darkness around all about. What is it doing according to Spanish culture? It's so confusing!"

"Esto baila en la calle por la noche." A voice said.

"What the hell?"

"I said, it dances through the street at night. I heard that riddle before." A girl admitted.

Richard was staring slack-jawed at the sight before him. She had beautiful hair like scarlet silk that flowed down her back. The weird thing was that she was wearing a black dress with a black bonnet and gray apron. She looked like something out of a history book.

"I'm Korina." The girl said as she looked up her eyes glistening under the sun.

"I'm Rachel, and I have got to go meet my boyfriend before he destroys my house. Bye!"

Normal POV

Korina turned to the boy sitting on the swing with interest.

"He's very handsome. He looks like someone I know." She thought to herself.

"Mind if I sit down?" she asked.

"Sure." He said.

He took another glance at Korina but suddenly, his eyes widened and he did a double take before he gave her his complete attention.

"Kori?!" he exclaimed.

Kori knew why he looked familiar.

"Richard?!"

"What are you doing here?! Well, not that I'm not happy to see you but…."he replied.

"I came to visit with my class. I haven't seen you since kindergarten!"

"I missed you too. Did you lose a bet?" he asked referring to her wardrobe.

"No….I live with my grandparents who just happen to be Amish. Story of my life."

"Amish huh? Well, before you go back, you wanna grab lunch or something?"

"I would love to….if I could change. I made a little boy cry. He thought I was the grim reaper."

Richard laughed.

"Let's buy you some real clothes."

Kori dressed in dark jeans, and a gold t-shirt with a black jacket and converse.

After lunch, Richard's phone rang a nine-note tune.
"Oh shit. Hey Kor, I gotta run. See you later?"

"Yea." She said as he ran out the door. "Sure."
