       From Home To Manor From Manor to the streets

     I walked with Bruce into Wayne Manor.Which looked pretty cool. it definitely was bigger then the place me and my father stayed. The thought of my father made me hurt. The fact he never looked at me or acknowledged me when I was with him made me sad again. I let my black hair fall into my face slightly once I had made it to the room I was given.I threw my suitcase on the bed and sat down. I tried not to cry but it came out, all the grief the loneliness,it all just came out all at once. I didn't even hear the knock on the door before it opened. It was but maybe 5 seconds later that I felt a strong hand on my shoulder in a comforting gesture. I looked through the veil of dark hair in my face to see bruce there. I didn't know what else to do as tears still fell down my face. I felt my hair move from my face and behind my ears. I wiped my eyes slightly when Bruce gave me an almost sympathetic look."p-please don't look at me like that"I said slowly standing up. "Fine I won't" He said."good I don't want anyone's sympathy"I said quietly. He looked at me and said"ok well I've come to tell you I'm going to Bludhaven for a few days. Alfred will be here for you though"He said before removing his hand from my shoulder and walked out.

I know one thing I didn't want to stay here. I took my suitcase whuch really wasn't.  it was actually just a bag. I slung my bag over my shoulder and snuck from the room. I went to the kitchen checking to see if Alfred was there. when I knew for sure he wasn't I put food in my bag and bolted out the front door.
