@Chapter 2: Parental issues

*********************************************************************

He was in a strange place, He did not know where it was,But he was very sure that it was not home.He saw a tall woman with light jeweled violet eyes and long red hair.Next to her was a tanned man with royal blue eyes and light blond hair. "Hello, Benedict." The woman said. "We're your parents, Sadye and Ryan Vance." Benedict was shocked. "B-but how?"He whispered. "A-am I dead?" His mother laughs, "no son, you're alive and kicking, you're just visiting." "But how did I get here?"He asks.She shrugs, "somehting important happened and it triggred a memory in your brain, the flood of memories was too much for you, and you appeared here." "But, don't worry, son. You're quite alright." Ben looked up suddenly, he hadn't heard his father speak before. His father had a smooth , comforting voice. That made people feel very relaxed. "You won't remember any of this when you wake up, but know this. Son, your mother and I will always love you. And never think your alone in this world, because your not." His father continued. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Ben woke up with a start, immediately he started blushing, 'way to make a good impression, Ben,' he thought , 'impress them with how 'fragile' you are.' He looked up weakly, "I'm sorry about that what have I missed?" "Oh nothing much."Ms.Marvin chirped cheerfully.

Then she turned to the Rumfords, "mr.Rumford, mrs.Rumford, this is Benedict Ryan Vance or Marwood Rumford , if you like." Mrs.Rumford said, "no, Benedict Ryan Vance will do find." Then she looked at Ben speaking to him, I've always wanted a child,and I'm sure you'll make the perfect son." Ben smiled shyly at her. 'She must really be very nice , if she could pay me such a compliment even though I just fainted.'He thought.Even miss Marvin looked slightly taken aback,but she recovered from shock soon enough and said, "well then, shall we sign the papers?"

"Happy birthday to you,happy birthday to you . Happy birthday, happy birthday to yyyyyooooouuuuu."As the last note hung in the air everybody began clapping, Sansha clapped along as well, but was filled with dread at the fact that she was five years closer to marrying Jutis.

Her friend ,Zandra Radnor had advised her, "don't take it too hard. Some people were engaged at birth, besides Jutis is SO sexy, your lucky to have him."Of course that hadn't cheered Sansha up one bit. "Hey,Sansha long time no see." A voice interuppted her train of thought. Sansha looked up to see a short, petite girl standing at her height. 'Wow , shes really short, if I were to stand up I'd be half a head taller than her.' Sansha thought. The petite girl with amber eyes stared at her. "You really mean to tell me you've forgotten who I am?" Sansha nodded, akwardly.The girl flipped back her long black hair, I can't believe you forgot, anyway, I'm Gayle Renfred." "Gayle!" Sansha jumped up and wrapped her arms around her friends shoulders.

"Gayle!"Sansha squealed. "I can't believe your back!" "Oh, you better believe it girlfriend." Gayle said , smiling. Sansha smiled back, "this is the best birthday present ever!"

"Oh really?"A deep voice asked, "I beg to differ." Sansha's face immediately hardened. "Jutis, what are you doing here?"

"Why, I was invited ,of course."

"You know what I mean."Sansha glared at him.

"Well if you insist, I came to give you this." Jutis opened a tiny box he was holding and inside was the most breath taking necklace Sansha had ever seen. It was a thin silver chain, made out of the finest silver that it looked and probably felt silky. Hanging of it was a beautiful ring with a pearl in the middle, and the most amazing thing was that Sansha could see a star gleaming in the middle of the pearl.

"Gorgeous isn't it?"Jutis asked haughtily.

Sansha glared at him, "its-''

"The most beautiful jewel I have ever seen." Sansha's father cut through. "Jutis, you must tell me where you get these ingenius creations."Sansha's father said. "It'd be my pleasure."Jutis smiled, showing off a mouth of pearly whiter than white teeth. Sansha could almost swear his teeth were shining in the light.

"Father may I talk to you alone for a while." She said through gritted teeth.Her father looked slightly startled, "of course, dear if you really want to."

Sansha took her father to one side, "father you can't expect me to marry him." She whined. Her father looked at her, "Sansha, we've been through this before." "Father, you can't expect me to marry somebody I don't love." "Then you can learn to , Sansha, you have seven years to learn to love Jutis,and hes quite a nice young lad, you will probably be in love with him by the end of this year." "If you love him so much, you can marry him!To me he'll always be a concited bastard!"

Dylan sat on the balcony outside his room.It was something he did often, after his father died his mother hadn't really seemed to pay that much attention to him, and he missed his father he did, a lot. Although, his mother was there when he needed her it wasn't the same, the embrace was always lacking something, it didn't seem to be a parental love or anything, it was more like a stranger comforting a person that they didn't really know that well.

Sure, words helped and sometimes he could actually feel his mothers love, but at other times , he felt completely isolated from her. The worst thing was , he knew he'd be leaving for Hogwarts soon and he wouldn't even see his mother.

He let himself get lost in his thoughts as he stared up at the stars.

Tobey yawned hungrily, as he proceeded to walk downstairs. Just as he did he heard two voices arguing. "What do you mean you can't get a job?!"He heard his father say. "I mean that I have to stay at home to take care of the kids!"Mrs. Morgan shouted. "Quite you'll wake the kids." Mr.Morgan hissed. "What do you care?Huh, Mather, what do you care?!"His mother screamed. "All you care about is money." "Now, you know that's not true, but its not like we could give our kids hand- me downs because they are all in the same year,and we don't have enough money to buy supplies and my job at the muggle airport keeps me there twenty-four seven, and I don't think I'm going to be promoted any time soon , since my boss is such a cheap git. I have no hope of earning more money!"

Tobey's mother didn't say anything. Tobey wondered why at first, until he realized. His mother was looking directly at him!
