Family Reunion From Hell
by No one specific
Introduction

It was stupid. Urcha Von, a grown man of 29, with a family of his own, afraid of his old family- the 'other Vons', as they were refered to the few times anyone ever referred to them.

He hadn't seen them since he turned 18. Unlike the rest of his family, he took his schooling seriously. He'd run away, leaving a message saying that he'd (secretly) applied for college (he didn't even remember why it had all been a secret.) He'd said that he was going, to forge a new life.

And he left. Never to talk or call or reply to his e-mails that Lilia had relentlessly sent him, telling him where the Cirque Du Freak was.

After a few months at college, Urcha had considered returning. Then he met Lennie Leth ("Who names there child Lennie Leth?")(*). They married when he was 19 and she was 21.

After awhile, they had three children. (Current ages: 9-year-old twins Maggie and Shancus, and 5-year-old Dar). They bought a house, and Lennie's brother Jaques moved in. They got two pets, a cat named Dervish, and a dog named Grubbs. ("Not being able to think of decent names must run in the family.")()

And Urcha never ever told anyone about his family. He never told anyone about what his family was, or who they were, or anything. He came up with stupid lies, but that didn't matter.

He never told the 'other Vons' or anyone at Cirque Du Freak that he got married and had kids.

His life was normal. Which was absolutley all fine and dandy.

Until someone just had to bring him back to his family. And then his entire life was changed. Someone just had to plan a family reunion. For most people, family reunions are stressful. ("Everyone acts cheery and is there because they think everyone else wants to be there. The end result is that no one wants to be there and it's just a group of people torturing themselves for nothing...")(†)

Hello. This is where I, No one specific, get a chance to talk. What am I thinking? I'm thinking that there's not enough love for Urcha Von. I've always kind of felt sorry for him, being the only normal one in a family of freaks. Technically, I guess that made him a freak...*shrugs*.

When I finish my other story, In The Begining, then I'll officially get to work on this. I just don't want to get any more side-tracked than I already am... So, I hope you've enjoyed.
