Rating & Warnings: G
Word Count: 131
Summary: The clouds can linger, but they'll pass through
The clouds hung low and leaden in the sky, grief in every darkened edge and pain in every thick raindrop. She watched the sky through rain-streaked windows, and listened in on distant conversations.
She mostly eavesdropped by choice, now. She'd learned some measure of control while she waited for her family to heal, her home to be rebuilt. She'd never be the innocent child Simon remembered, but she'd never again be the uncontrolled killing machine or the flailing madwoman. She'd never silence out the voices only she could hear, but neither would she be silenced by them.
She'd be a person, actual and whole.
She closed her eyes and smiled. Only a few more minutes and they'd pass through the clouds, into the sunshine and blue skies and beyond.
Into the Black.
