Richard and Starfire were still copped up in a little two bedroom house. The house was white with black shutters, soft green grass, and a black iron gate around it.

"Richard this is a cute little home." Starfire said looking around. The house was painted in a light lime green with white furniture and dark hardwood floors.

"When do you think they will give up searching?"

"To be honest I do not know. I never left for this extent of time."

"She can't be in this diseased ridden town. Has anyone gotten ahold of Grayson?" They heard over Richard's Radio.

"No, we have not he lives in this town."

"Go see him, now!"

"Sir."

"Richard what are we going to do? If they catch me with you…"

"Starfire, relax. "He said placing his hands on her shoulders.

"But Richard…"

"Come on you'll hide out in the crawlspace." They ran for his room. Once inside Richard walked over to one side of a wall. "It will be a tight fit, but it'll have to do," he said, "and whatever you do don't make any sound."

"Okay…" she was about to say something else when they heard a loud knock at the door.

"I'll be back when they're gone." He said and walking out. Starfire quickly and quietly got into the spaced closed the door.

Richard was right when he said it would be a tight fit. She was maybe a hundred and ten pounds soaking wet and couldn't barley breathe with her knees up to her chest in the most uncomfortable position, but she stayed like that fearing that they would kill Richard and fearing what her father would do to her, it was then she heard faint voices.

"Have you… Koriand…"

"No has… som… happened…" Was all she was able to make out, but as she continued to listen she noticed that Richard and the other guards were walking closer.

"So this is where you live?" one of the guards said.

"Yes. What is it to you?"

"Why do you live with disease ridden people?"

"They're not all disease ridden and they are very sweet and kind people."

"So you'd rather become sick?"

"I thought you were here about the princess not about my living conditions."

"We need to search your dwellings, standard protocol."

"I understand. Do you need me out there searching?"

"No, you may take the time off we've got every inch of the town already covered."

"Okay if you need anything I will be in the living room."

About maybe thirty or forty minutes later. Richard opened the door to the crawlspace and found Starfire asleep. He took her into her arms and laid her down in his bed.

Three hours later Starfire opened her eyes to find she was in a bed. "What time is it?" she said to no one.

"Twelve O' clock," Richard said handing her a glass of water, "we need to hurry the ceremony starts in two hours."

Starfire gulped down the water, quickly got to her feet, grabbed Richard's hand and took off running. They used the buildings as a shield from the guards.

"How much time will it take to get there if we keep running?" Starfire whispered as they hid from a guard.

"Thirty minutes, but I have an idea. Follow me." Richard said and took off running to the nearest store. She blankly stared after, but quickly followed him.

"Where are we?"

"A little store that my aunt's friend runs."

"Oh hello, dear," said an elderly woman. The woman had long silver hair, a button nose, and gorgeous smoky blue eyes. "Oh, Richard, who is your little friend?"

"Oh Star this is Kat, Kat this is Starfire."

"Oh, it's so lovely to meet you, Miss Kat." Starfire gushed.

"Dear, please just call me Kat."

"Okay, may ask you a question?"

"Sure."

"How did you get the name Kat?"

"Well my real name is Katie, but my father always called my little Kat, so I guess the name stuck. By the way, Richard, did you hear that devil of a king has another child? When will his wife keep her legs closed no one wants another ungrateful spoiled brat running around. I swear if the king has any more kids he should just drown them."

Starfire stared at the ground, but wouldn't show what she was feeling.

"Now that I am working for him-"

"Ah, yes how is that going? You give him a piece of his mind yet for killing your aunt for me?"

"It's… look can I talk to you alone real fast?"

"Sure thang hon." She said in a country accent.

Starfire looked at Richard confused. "Inside joke, don't ask." He said before following Kat.

Starfire walked around the shop. It was a cute little wall to wall bookstore. It had everything from vampires to princess to the 1940s. Starfire Reached for a book, but dropped it when she heard a voice coming from the other side. Curious she went to investigate. She rounded corner and spotted two girls sitting at a table talking very low.

"Hello." Starfire said with a smile.

The two girls gave her what-do-you want look and went back to talking. Sometimes she was glad to be the princess so no one would ignore her, but then again she could live without it. Richard came back with a ring of keys and two helmets.

"What are those?"

"Helmets, you wear one when you get on a bike."

"We are riding a bike." She said clapping her hands.

'Yeah, but not the one you're thinking of."

"Then what kind of bike is it?"

"It's called a motorcycle. It's a bike that is powered by gas."

"Oh then what are we waiting for?" she said grabbing his hand and dragging her away.

They reached the garage she spotted a sliver and blue motorcycle.

"Richard, is this the bike you were talking about?"

"Yes." He said walking her over to it and helping her on before getting on himself. "Hold on tight." He started it and took off toward the castle.

So far so good with sneaking her in, but her father just had to come out of his study and spotted them.

"Koriand'r, where have you been?"

"Sorry daddy. I was in the garden and I fell asleep. Richard found me and is taking me to get ready."

"You have twenty minutes to get ready because the Carberous king is coming."

"Daddy…"

"I don't want to hear it," and he walked away.

"Come on, Richard, I need to get ready."

Well this is it for chapter 2 boring maybe I almost trashed it the last bit I wanted to get it out so people know I wasn't quitting this story, but I need more reviews and I promise the next chapter will be so much better or I'll die trying. Bye.
