The One Who Knew

*Chapter Six*

*Couple of Months later*

I'm sitting on the roof of the mansion the breeze hitting my face as I think about the many months that had gone by in a blur my saying what ever it took to get by school, then school ending and me never leaving my room except to come up and think. And this time I was thinking it was time to make a change, I was going to go downstairs and be kind and cheerful I smile and muster my strength and stand up but thank I frown and sit down as a single year rolls down my cheek what was I thinking I'm sit so upset about my parents I can't even pretend to be happy...

*Flashback*

I walk down the street to my house I round the corner and look up from my feet to see my house and two others engulfed in flames. I fall on my knees and cry because I know it was to late they were dead and i'd never see them again. The house was a bright orange you couldn't even see the navy blue it used to be. I look around and see firemen and other people on the ground like me screaming in sadness.Then I see a fireman walking my way and I get up and run my parents were dead and there was nothing he could have said to make it any better.

*End of flashback*

I shudder at the memory and get up I know that I need to go down stairs happy or not. Once I've climbed down from the roof I make myself look slightly more presentable but the tear stains are still visible then I make my way down stairs.

When I first get downstairs I'm greeted by Alfred who has tears in his eyes at the sight of me and hugs me but when I ask him where Dick is his face turns grim.

"Master Dick is in his room in recovery"

"His what!" I reply "Why did know one tell me!"

"Because you were considered unavailable on master Bruce orders. And as for Richard he is injured because after 2 weeks of you not leaving your room he became sad and angry all the time eventually he snapped and left the house time went by and he never came home so Bruce went out to look for him he had in his carelessness fallen off of a roof and landed on a dumpster so he was brought to me and is currently on bed rest... But you may visit him... But don't wake him"

"Ok thank you Alfred" I whisper

"Your welcome Wren" then he walks off to do who knows what and I head for Dicks room.

When I arrive I find him sleeping sprawled out I smile a little and crawl in next to him and fall asleep the first sound sleep since before my parents died...
