Title: Teaching
Author:strega_willow, aka calliopes_pen
Character: Willow's POV
Rating: PG
Prompt: Written forbtvsats_20. Challenge 10 during round 2.
Notes: Set after season 7.
Has my life turned out the way I thought it would? Ha! Well, I think it’s safe to say that that’s definitely a no. Why, do you ask?
Back in high school, after Miss Calendar died, I taught her classes for about a semester. I loved teaching, and immediately assumed that I would become a teacher after graduation.
And then, I discovered magic, and somehow veered off that path. And life went insane. I went to college, and took a few classes...life still insane? Check.
Not only did I discover magic, but I broke up with my favorite werewolf during that time.
And then, I discovered that I loved and was loved by the most wonderful woman I had ever met. Tara. That’s probably the second thing about my life that felt like it had come out of nowhere.
And my path not only had a fork in the road, it had so many possibilities. I could do more than float a pencil with my magic! I was loved! At least, until the addiction to the magic started, and it became my life...almost more important than my friends and love. That’s one of the biggest mistakes of my life. (Come to think about it, I probably should have left Amy as a rat, too...)
Six years ago, who would have thought that I would become so powerful? Or that I would go insane when my lover died, and skin a guy alive?
I don’t know about you, but I certainly didn’t think that would happen! Never once did I think that I would try to cause a massacre. Dark Willow was scary--well, so was talking about myself in the third person. Better stop that.
And after defeating The First Evil, and feeling like a goddess for about a week? That whole thing was certainly...unexpected. While it was the ultimate rush, I’ve learned from being the Big Bad that one time. I’m not about to go after more power.
Having glowing white hair was an interesting experience, too. I think I'll stick with red, thank you very much! Changing hues and highlights is a very bad thing.
Maybe...just maybe...I can have a shot at a normal life now. Although, instead of teaching normal students, maybe I could teach others a tiny bit about magic.
Just never enough knowledge to make them swallow the words of a book whole, and go all dark and veiny. That’s not the best fashion trend to start.
