She knocked again. This time even harder and this time with her handful of keys on a keychain. 

The sounds of metal on metal echoed out into the distance as she glanced over her shoulder, glowing red eyes already set in a half-hearted scowl. But instantly a pang of sadness shot into her heart when she saw no one there standing at her shoulder. [i]“Why doncha just walk through it, [/i]Boo?[i] Maybe see some people humping on the other side, you perv..!”[/i] he would have said. [i]“Yeah, whatever. Shuddup, [/i]Nightfall[i]...”[/i] she would reply. Or something to that extent or even lamer. But at any rate, she could still hear her big brother's voice in her head, as fresh and annoyingly dry and coy just like the first day he said it after she actually did walk through a door and witness two people humping.

Stephan always had little quips like that armed and ready for his little sister... just as she had her 'Shuddup' quips always armed in reply. It had always been like that. Always. Another pang shot into her heart when she realized, that only after 5 days of not seeing him or their mom, just how lonely she was. Without them. But they would be here soon. She just knew it.

Through thick pouting lips, Brigitte released a heavy sigh.

It was true. She could float through walls and doors. But why not float on through the [i]Techno's[/i] iron walls then, she was posed that question by many. And actually she did try it. A few times. And it cost them several lives of those involved in trying to get Brigitte across the walls. But even if they did succeed and get her across the barrier, what then? Who was out there to help anyways?

And why wasn't there external help in the first place? Was there really anyone out there on the outside that could breach the [i]Technopath's [/i] defenses?

Because even a girl who could float through walls was not able to breach the defense mechanisms. The walls were layered. And in one layer was an electrical current. One that shifted and changed. One that scrambled up frequencies that affected things in different “phases” just like a ghost. Boo.

She almost died the first time. She barely made it out before becoming corporeal again. But the third time they almost made it. Almost. 

Most likely [i]No-No,[/i] as her family and friends called the [i]Technopath[/i], would have already changed it so that if and when their next attempt happened, the work they put in would be more complex and daunting to get her through. But they did almost make it. Almost. 

And that was the most powerful thing they had in the world right now. 

Hope.

That is what the silvery-headed young woman held in her breast, and that hope cast away the pangs of loneliness and sadness in her heart. Her mom, [i]ShadowBane[/i]. Her brother, Stephan/[i]Nightfall[/i]. Their friends and their friends' families. They would be here soon. And the Resistance would grow.

Bree stood there, dressed in a dirty grey hoodie and blue jeans both of which were two sizes two big for her. Glowing red eyes, stared at the keys in her possession. So many of them. More than half were useless. But the ones that were useful about 7 of them were precious. One in particular was her favourite. It had an American car brand on it and an 'X' engraved into it. 

It was the key to [i]ShadowBane's [/i] black sedan. 

And hidden in that sedan was the equipment made to attempt breaching [i]No-No's Unbreachable Wall.[/i] The car. The cargo. The key. It was out there. [i]They[/i] were still out there... she just knew it...

Another sigh escaped her as she stared down at her ratty formerly-white sneakers. Glowing red eyes closed and she was left in near dark once more.

[color=0054a6]“'In Resistance may we build our own hope, our own fate, our own future...'”[/color] she whispered.

Full rosy lips pulled up in a wry smirk as glowing red eyes ignited once more.

[color=0054a6]“'We build our own hope...'”[/color] she repeated dryly then knocked again.
