The moonlight was shining down on the broken world. A flag decorated with a vicious, bloodstained wolf gracefully floated above the wreckage. The wind gave no sound, the windows were dark, and the town seemed abandoned. It was quiet... Probably too quiet, but Camila didn't care. She was thinking about her mission.

Camila took out her pocket knife and put up her hood on her favorite oversized hoodie hoping she would fade into the shadows. She started to sweat but stayed as still as possible.
