"Sweet Silver Lining"
Aja sat at her desk, working on some papers that needed to be taken care of before she went home to Ballentine and the ball that Ajay had planned. She really wasn’t looking forward to it, but it was what he wanted, and for him, she would do it.
The secretary, Amy, was once again was again playing music over the office sound system. There was a song that caught Aja’s attention.
“Well I'm going home downhearted and hoping. I'm close to some new beginning. I know there's a reason for everything that comes and goes.”
Aja leaned back in her chair listening and she sighed quietly. She felt like the singer a lot of days.
“But so many people are looking to me to be strong and to fight but I'm just surviving”
Like it or not, every action she took to become strong herself, had lead a lot of people to see her as if she was. They now placed all their faith in her to keep them safe, keep the town prosperous and healthy.
“And I may be weak but I'm never defeated and I'll keep believing in clouds with that sweet silver lining”
And no matter how much she was haunted by the memories of the past, she had to believe that every bit of it happened to lead her here. To this place and this time. To be the person the people in Arcadia could believe in. Also, to be one of the few that could do something about the people that had damaged her in the first place.
“Most days I try my best to put on a brave face. But inside my bones are cold and my heart breaks. But all the while something's keeping me safe and alive.”
Aja never knew what exactly kept her moving forward when it seemed every card was stacked against her. She just knew that one day, she would finish them for good. And on that day, what would she do' She hadn’t a clue. She couldn’t allow herself to look beyond the here and now. She had to keep focused on fighting them, keep doing everything that made her different than them in every way possible.
“But so many people are looking to me to be strong and to fight but I'm just surviving
And I may be weak but I'm never defeated and I'll keep believing in clouds with that sweet silver lining And I won't give up like this will be given strength, now that I've found it, nothing can take that away”
She closed the file on her desk and thought of the silver lining. The shiny glimmer of a world without the Clan and their evil. She knew there were others out there that were just as bad, but they weren’t her concern. They were someone else’s battle, this one was hers and she would see it out to the very last one of them. She believed she would be the last one standing when it all came to the end of them. She had to.
