Shadowed past

Chapter 5

Dick's POV.

It was dark and cold, sounds came from everywhere. I don't know what all the noise is, I think someone is talking. but I can't set what they are saying, it is too much to hear. It got louder and louder. I put my hands on my ears to stop all the noise, but the sounds wouldn't go away. "CRACK" Suddenly a loud cracking noise was heard and everything went quiet. I turned to where the sound came from. As I turned I saw them, lying right in front of me. Their bodies just lies there, lifeless, blood covered them as well as the ground around them. "Mami? Tati?" my voice was quiet and cracked. My knees going weaker and weaker before I collapsed on the ground in front of them, their blood soaked my pants and hands. Tears started to fill my eyes. I looked up and saw my mother's face. I couldn't hold it back. Tears came running down my face. There I was sitting in the blood of my only family, alone in the darkness. Suddenly a dark laugh is heard in front of me. I slowly lift my head up from the ground only to see a shadow laughing. "Dick!"

"Dick! Dick it's ok, it's just a dream." "Dick!" My eyes shot open. I was breathing heavy, sweat ran down my face mixed with tears. A hand soon landed on my shoulder and I turned my face up at the person who's hand it was. "It's ok, it was just a dream" Bruce said calm, which calmed me down a little. My body started slowly to shake as I remembered the dream. Bruce sat down on the bed and took me in his arms. "Shhh..." he says as he rubs circles on my back. "I miss...them so...much" I tried to say in between the sobs. "I know...I know Dick"

Alfred's POV.

As I was cleaning I heard soft crying coming from Master Dick's room. I went to get Master Bruce but his bedroom was empty. A small smile came on my face when I heard the crying stop.

Hours had past and I went up to see if Master Bruce was sleeping or if he was in the cave. His bedroom was still empty, like always in this time of the evening. I went to check on Master Dick and to my surprise, there they were, sleeping together. Master Bruce holding Master Dick in some kind of bubble. I smiled and slowly closed the door.
