NOAH CROUCHED LOW AS AIDAN BECKONED her to follow him along the side of the roof, making sure no one could see them in the floodlights from some of the taller buildings. They both had their flashlights on dim, giving them enough light to see in front of them, but not enough to alert any warnings with FEDRA. As they reached the corner of the roof of their apartment building, the two of them were in a blind spot of spotlights, so Aidan stood upright, Noah taking that as a sign that she could too.

Her eyes widened, reflecting off the sparkling QZ, everything looked a whole lot more prettier in the night time. From their apartment window, she could see some of this, but it wasn’t close to being this cool looking. The city spread out further than her eye could see, the lights seeming to ignite for miles, glowing into the sky and getting mixed with the moonlight.

“Cool, right?” Aidan smiled smugly, looking from the view down to his sister, the smugness fading as he saw the genuine fascination with the night.

“Yeah… So cool,” Noah breathed out. Her head turned from the QZ, looking to the west. And that’s when her eyebrows furrowed into confusion.

The lights stopped all of a sudden, dipping into an abyss. It was the wall. You couldn’t see anything past it, what was out there. Noah had heard rumors of what was out there, sure. A couple stories from Remy now and then, some from Aidan. Her parents stayed silent on the subject, everytime they asked it turned awkward, everyone averting their eyes.
