A Town Without You

1. The Hallways Of The Horde

Catra walked through the hallways of the hideout. She was asked to go to Shadow Weaver, which meant she had a new mission, a new chance to prove herself.

She's a part of a secret societly. In this society, they are born to folllow orders and eliminate targets. They only kill bad people, the ones who deserve it. Death doesn't care if you're a sinner or a saint. They made sure that death took more of the sinners than the saints.

They were doing the job others weren't willing to do. They were making the world a better place, they were good.

She's always been part of the secret society. She was born and raised to kill and follow orders. They called themselves the Horde and Catra was proud to be part of it.

Being a part of The Horde did have it's bad parts. The worst thing for Catra was Shadow Weaver.

Shadow Weaver was never the kindest, she was harsh even when she was being nice. Catra didn't have nice memories about her but she still felt like she had to prove herself. Maybe this would be her shot.

Shadow Weaver always acted as if Catra was the most useless human being on this earth. At this point, Catra would do anything to prove her wrong. She would do anything to make her proud. It was her only goal in life at this point.

Whatever it was, she would do it perfectly. She will not fail. She stood in front of the door. Behind that door was Shadow Weaver, with a new mission for her. A mission that she can't fail- a mission that she won't fail.

Catra took a deep breath and knocked before walking in. Shadow Weaver was immediately looking at her and she felt a chill run down her spine. She never liked Shadow Weaver all that much.

"Catra... I see you found it worth it to show up'' Shadow Weaver said. Catra knew that mocking voice like none other. She hated it, but she knew better than to speak up against Shadow Weaver.

Catra stayed silent and bowed. She wanted to rip that woman's eyes out of her head but she kept herself in. The new mission was the only thing she was here for.

Shadow Weaver continued ''I've got a new mission for you. You need to go to a high school and pretend you're a part of it. Your job is to befriend a girl named Adora Grayskull. Here's the file about her'' Shadow Weaver said as she gave Catra a file.

Shadow Weaver spoke again ''Her father, Hordak Grayskull is the person in charge of a secret stash of weapons. Adora probably knows where the weapons are and that's what you have to find out''. For a second Catra thought that it was a normal spying mission but of course it wasn't.

No, because everytime something in her life seemed doable something like this would happen. Even though Shadow Weaver always wears a mask, Catra can feel her smiling as the utters the next words.

"When you've got the information, eliminate both Adora and her father. They will be of no further use to us and they are dangerous, they must die'' Shadow Weaver said, looking down on Catra.

Catra wasn't comfortable with killing a teenager. But she didn't have a choice in this, she was part of the Horde. When they got a job, they accepted it.

Even though this girl she had to kill probably wasn't even evil. She's just a kid, why would the good guys kill a child? Stop that, we're the good guys.

She was handed another file, this one being on Hordak. Shadow Weaver spoke up once more, because she just had to. ''Oh and Catra, don't mess this up'' Catra cringed at the comment but still kneeled and said.''I will not fail'' She walked out of that door with two files and a new opportunity.

The new opportunity was horrible. It made her rethink her very existence, it made her think about The Horde. Were they really the good guys? Of course they were.
