Chapter 6

Damian's PoV

SHE'S A HUMAN?! I did not see that coming. Everyone's eyes were on Winter, she's wearing a pair of black ripped jeans, a pair of black combat boots, a black and white t-shirt with 3 quarter length sleeves and a necklace with a silver pendant, of what looked like a wolf symbol or mark. She was quite beautiful, even though this isn't the best first impression I can't deny being attracted to her.

The room was silent, Winter still on sitting on the floor. Poor girl, she was already scared, now I bet she's full on terrified. Father was the first to break the silence.

"You're a human?" He said, trying to keep a calm facade to cover his shocked one.

"Y-Y-Yes." She stammers out.

"What's your name?" Todd asks.

"Y-Y/N" She stutters again.

"What exactly are you?" Drake asks somewhat rudely.

"Tim! Be nice! You're being rude." Grayson says, obviously trying to earn the girls trust.

"D-Don't worry, no offence taken.."
Y/N says. "I'm a werewolf." She states. I thought so, she seemed a little big to be a dog. Not to mention, she seemed far more intelligent than one.

"So you're not a dog." Todd says. Seemingly disappointed.

"No, but that doesn't mean I don't sometimes act like one." She says, while still looking down at the ground afraid to make eye contact with us.

"Here, let me help you up." I say, trying to be polite. I extend my arm towards her, she finally makes eyes contact with me. Now that I see her face up close, it looks magnificent. Her eyes are a beautiful Amethyst color, her brows are perfectly sculpted, she looks.. Wow. Her lips, they look rich and pouty, they look so kissable and her hair, it looks perfect. Her hair is jet black at the top and white at the bottom. It's uniquely ombree, it's frames her face perfectly. Y/N's hair is in loose curls and slightly side swept to the right.I'm fantasizing about Y/N, and I just met her! I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't realize I wasn't staring until Y/N said something.

"T-Thanks.." She says, a light pink dusting her cheeks.

"You're welcome." She gladly accepts my offer. Placing her hand in mine, if sparks could fly between us there would be fireworks.

"Hey love birds! You can stare into each others eyes later. Right now we need an explanation." Drake said, with a smirk. At his words Y/N slightly pink cheeks turned to full on crimson. I could tell she was embarrassed. Her adorable reaction made me want to chuckle but I kept that to myself, I could only imagine what Drake would say.

~Time skip to after the explanation~

"So if that's the case, how'd you end up in that alley way covered in cuts and bruises?" Father asks.

Silence.

After a few moments Y/N decides to say something.

"I don't want to talk about it right now." She says, looking at her hands. Something awful must have happened for her to be injured like that.

"Don't worry Y/N, we aren't going to force you to talk if you aren't ready. Grayson said, smiling at her to try and lighten the mood.

"Do you have somewhere safe to go?" Drake asks.

"N-No, at least it isn't safe right now." Y/N says stuttering.

"How old are you?" I ask, my tone sounding more cold than sympathetic. It pains me to see her like this, perhaps I can ask father if she could stay.

"I'm 13" Good, she's the same age as me.

When she tells us her age, I'm immediately filled with a sense of anger and I can see I'm not the only one. Father is also staring at Y/N with a clenched jaw, while trying to hide his anger.

"Y/N, you can stay with us for as long as you need." Father said, although it sounded more like a command.

"T-Thank you." She says, finally relaxing a little.

"C'mon we'll give a tour of the manor then we'll show you to your room." Todd adds in.

We were all giving Y/N a tour of the manor. We showed her the many rooms and hallways, so she wouldn't get lost. Both father and Dick thought it would be a good idea to introduce her to some of the staff, especially Pennyworth. After introductions and many questions later we finally arrive at Y/N's room.

She walked in cautiously, like she was waiting for something like an attack.
Y/N stopped in the middle of the room, her eyes scanning everything.

"This is....Mine?" She asks, not taking her eyes of the room.

"Yeah. Sorry it's not decorated the way you want. We weren't exactly expecting another kid." Drake said, mumbling the last part. I hope Y/N didn't hear that, wouldn't want to make her even more upset. Y/N stops looking around the room and turn her head in our direction, she shyly thanks us then turn her attention on the big queen sized bed in the room. She must be tired after such a long day. Apparently I'm not the only one who realized this because soon after Dick pipes up.

"We'll  leave you to get settled, when it's time for dinner one of us will come find you okay?" Dick says. In response Y/N just nods her head. She turns back at me to look at me, meeting my gaze. She looks like she's debating about weather or not to speak up, after finally deciding she closes her mouth and turn back towards her room. Thus, we leave her to get settled.

*In the living room with the batfam*

"Do you think she knows?" Drake asks."Maybe she doesn't remember." He adds.

"She might and she might not. Question is do we tell or wait till she either asks us or finds out." Dick suggests.

"I say we tell her." I say in a monotone voice.

"Why?" They all say together in unison.

"Because it'll make us seem more trustworthy around her. I'm not sure if you noticed but, while we were showing her around she was on high guard. Like she was waiting for us to attack her."

"Damian's right. We should tell her at dinner." Father says, ending this conversation.
