BTVS Drabble Prompt: Rebel

[garnigal]

She wasn’t a rebel. She married young, and obeyed as a good wife should, cooking and cleaning, smiling politely and hiding her pain.

She wasn’t a hero. She birthed a son, and tended him as a good mother should, lunches and laundry, smiling sweetly and letting him lead.

She was a hero. She rejoiced in her daughter, and guided her as a good witch should, magics and mutiny, smiling proudly and offering strength.

She was a rebel. She died young, and left the legacy that a good woman should, pinched pennies and prayers, ensuring her daughter had a better life.

Very interesting. I like the repetition and the mirroring.

Friendly neighborhood editor points out editing error:

She’d was a hero.

I love it! Tara's mother?

Thank you for pointing out the errors. I had to cut some words. :) And yes, Tara's mom.

Thanks so much for commenting.
