The Return Of Elieen Prince (FanFic About Severus Snape and his mom)

Chapter 3:What Really Happened

I sat down at the police station waiting on the decision on what was gonna happen to me next. All I could think about was my mother and the fact that I did not have her by my side. The fact that she was missing really bugged me. I had a fear that she was dead but they didn't find a body, they just said she was missing. I longed for my beautiful mother and if she wasn't dead than she had abandoned me. And I was pretty sure my horrible excuse for a father had something to do with this. What if my mother ran away? and everyone was in on it and not telling me. What if she planned this or if she was the one behind this and she had to disappear in order to not face the consequences. So many things were running through my head and I was so deep in the thought that the policeman's deep stern voice scared me. "Its time for you to go son; you'll sleep in a bunker for the night and then we'll figure out what to do with you in the morning" the officer said. "I wanna know what really happened. I know you all know and I know you all know where my mother is!" I said getting loud. I was desperate to know where my mother was and what happened. "Son calm down"! the policeman said. "As this case unfolds you will see" the officer said. "just let it go  and we'll pick this up in the morning". The officer said it trying to reason with me but I wouldn't budge. "I WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED NOW"! I couldn't calm down, anger was taking me over. Not only the bitterness of knowing my father had something to do with this, but the fact that my mother could be dead and their wasting time trying to find and recover her body. Or worse.... she abandoned me. "SON" the officer said. I jumped and huffed. "fine I'll go to bed. But I expect to know the truth" I said as I turned to go in a jail cell I had all to myself and sleep in an uncomfortable bunk. "Like I said son; when this case unfolds the truth will unfold" the officer said as he closed to cell door and locked it. It felt like I had been arrested for something. Laying there in a cell bunk with bright lights looking down on me. I started to blame myself for not being there for my mother. She needed me. I have no idea what's going to happen to me. Let's just hope I live.

********** Elieen's POV

I boarded a plane in the middle of the night to California. I was leaving Scotland to go find a better life somewhere else for me and my son Severus. It was in the beginning of the spring term at Hogwarts and I wasn't going to be super selfish and take him out of school to come with me to find a new and better life. So I left him behind. I know he's gonna feel like I abandoned him or worse, that I was dead. His father Tobias led me to this. His abuse I could take no longer. He had came home upset because his job had cut his pay even lower than the already low income he was making. I tried to comfort and reason with him but he got angry and very violent. He started punching me and I ran. I ran from our bedroom into our bathroom and locked the door. He came barging at the door, banging on it and kicking it to get it open. I picked up a hammer that was next to the toilet and opened the door. He came running in and I swung the hammer. He ducked and kicked me in the stomach. He took the hammer and was about to smash me in the head with it. He truly wanted to kill me. I flung myself out of the way and the hammer smashed against the tub. Shattering one side of it. I got up and he swung again knocking the shower thingy off of its hinges. I ran past him and all I could think about was our son. Whether or not I should go to Hogwarts snatch him and run away. I was fearful for my life. I was in an abusive relationship and I didn't know how to get out. My life was hanging in the balance. My son is really all I cared about and all these years he has watched us fuss and fight right in front of him like childish parents. I was in tears at this point and I ran in our bedroom got out a suitcase from our closet and grabbed everything that belonged to me. "What do you think you're doing"? he asked me in a very aggressive tone. "I'm leaving you. I'm done with you're childish tempers and you're outlashes. Your abuse and neglect. I'm over it". I said in a fearful but firm and serious voice. "So your just gonna walk out huh". He said looking like an old worn out drunkard. "Your just gonna walk out on your family.... on me.... on your own son". He said this in a way to make me feel bad and hugely guilty. And I did somewhat feel guilty and of course I felt bad. But I had made up my mine and wasn't about to change. "I am in no way shape or form walking out on Severus I will be back for him. I am walking out on YOU" I said pointing my finger at him. My eyebrows frowned intensely. Next thing I knew Tobias was destroying everything. From our bedroom all the way downstairs. I damaged anything he could see. I grabbed my suitcase and ran out the open front door. "Get back here Eileen" Tobias called out. But I did not turn back. I was determined to go away make a brand new start and have a better life before I came  back for Severus so that he wouldn't have to go away and still suffer. I could go away seek a job that makes good money come back to him and take him to where I lived and we both live happy for once. And a life of luxury and drama free. A life free of abuse and fear. A life where we don't have to worry about any problems forever more. Little did I know it would take me 17 years to get it.
