Mommy I Never Told (2.0)
This is a revised verson of the original story I posted. I think I have grown a little as a writer, and have vamped the story a little. I hope everyone likes it! -H.B
Disclaimer: I own nothing...if I did this show would still be on and everyone wouldn't have died, but anyway... the poem that inspired me to write this was Forgotten Child by Jennifer J. Vasquez.
Chapter One: Sarcasm In My Voice
Cordelia walked out of her house. Today she couldn't take the constant bad-mouthing her mother gave her. She was complaining that Cordy didn't do well in school. Well, Cordy thought, that was probably because it had only started three weeks ago. Plus, to add to the Chase family drama, her parents decided that they hated each other tonight.
"Why did you let them have a child? Come on, you must have seen them when they had me you should have killed me! They don't deserve a child, even one like me. Please, I don't want to live like this any more. Please, take it all away. Is that too much to ask to ask for?" Cordy was in tears by the time she stopped talking.
She stopped believing in God when her favorite aunt died. Then, of course she met Buffy, and now that she almost dies every other day praying God is an everyday occurrence for her now. This was the first time, though, she had talked to Him in her front yard, where the neighbors could hear.
"Why didn't you let me die the first time I was attacked by a demon? What did you think it was funny to watch me suffer? Like it was a punishment for how I treat others? I hate the way it is around here. I wish I die every time I see a vampire or demon come close to me. Is this what you want, for me to live the rest of my life in pain?" Almost as if answering her it began to rain. Not like normal, it poured. The thunder and lightening shook the houses slightly, and the trees swayed violently.
In the distance Cordelia could still hear her parents from inside their house. "Yeah, thanks. This makes my life so much better. You are my Savoir." She screamed towards the sky.
"Did you hear the hint of sarcasm in my voice?" As if to answer her, the loudest thunderbolt hit right after she had asked. "Yeah, I thought you did."
Short I know, but I promise this is going to get better... please R and R!
