A Town Without You

2. Arrival in Bright Moon

Catra arrived in bright moon, she didn't even know that she would be in a house with someone else. Apparently, Octavia was her fake 'mom'.

Wow, life just really wanted to make it worse for her.

She didn't really like Octavia and Octavia didn't like her. She just wanted to finish this mission and forget it as soon as possible. She entered the house and unsurprisingly, there was no welcome.

She stood in the middle of the living room for a few awkward seconds. Octavia came in with an unimpressed look on her face ''you're here. You're room is upstairs, it's the empty one. Just unpack your bags, you're not going to stay here for a while. Hopefully, you're mission will be over soon'' she said. What a witch.

Catra just nodded and went upstairs. Her room was bare. White walls, a bed and a closet was everything she had. Luckily, it was everything she needs.

She didn't need a lot of stuff and honestly she didn't want it. The sooner she was done with this mission, the better. She unpacked all her things and decided to go through the mission again.

Tomorrow was the big day where she would go to school for the first day and meet Adora. First impressions are important, if Catra wanted to get over this mission as soon as possible, she'd need to have a good first impression on Adora. She needed to become friends with her as soon as possible.

Adora was quite a popular kid, so it wouldn't be easy to instantly become friends with her. Catra had to make sure that the first moment Adora saw her, she wanted to get to know her. She had to be mysterious to a degree that Adora wanted to figure out who she is. But, she also had to be inviting to a degree, to make sure Adora would even be interested.

Mysterious yet inviting, couldn't be too hard right?

This was starting to become a joke.

There was also one other little problem; she had no idea how high school worked. What do they even do? They don't get taught how to kill and spy, what other things are there to learn?

The idea of learning anything other than that was beyond her, what else could there be?

She had no preparations to high school whatsoever, she didn't know what normal people did, she didn't know anything about them.

This is her first mission where she has to be in high school. She had two missions that required spying on someone before taking them out but they were both much less bad than this one.

One was where she pretended to be someones bodyguard and the other was where she acted as if she was a lost young girl who was completely helpless.

She killed a rich asshole who got money from other people's pain and a pedophile. People who didn't deserve to be here, not a teenager who probably wanted to have nothing to do with the entire situation.

It wasn't fair, but she couldn't do anything about it. She will make Shadow Weaver proud, she'll prove that she's wrothy. She will not fail.

She prayed to every god that could be out there that the next day would go alright.

Catra stood in front of the school she would be going to. The school looked awful, it was bright with posters about whatever scattered around the place. It looked like hell but worse.

There were so many kids. So, so many kids.

It might be the most disgusting thing she's even seen. She already hated being here and her mission didn't even start yet. She hadn't even seen Adora once.
