The splitting silence was perfect for the job. Her footsteps blended in well with the pitch black darkness and silence that made one's ears ring.

As she zoomed past the the halls, keeping her footsteps' sound to the minimum, her eyes fixated on the door that awaited at the end of the hall.

This was just another day for the red headed assassin. Just another mission which put all her years of training to work. She was a well-known assassin due to her ability to become invisible in certain circumstances.

Rarely did she ever fail a mission.

She reappeared for a while, hiding behind a statue. Everything was going according to plan. The assassin could only be invisible for a number of time, so it took her great timing to assure her missions went according to plan.

"Vance... I never really liked this family anyway..." She mutters to herself, whipping out her weapon, "but I'll make it quick. I don't have enough time to waste." Even though she had quite a serious career, the girl also had her own interests like making sure she arrived just in time before all the volumes of her favorite manga ran out.

Reactivating her invisibility, the redhead zoomed out of her hiding place, bursting into the bedroom where her target was supposed to be. She prepared to attack when she realized it wasn't necessary anymore.

"Of course. It just had to be you." She sighed, retracting her claws when she realized the job had already been done.

The stinky stench was there, the blood spread all over the carpeted floor as the corpse of a certain Vance lay still on the ground. Just a few feet away from the body stood an all-too-familiar assassin. He stood with a smug look on his face as he flexed the blood dripping from his own claws.

"Gotcha. I knew you were coming for this old hag as well." Helcurt snickers, kicking the head of their target. He had his arms crossed and looked as if he didn't even break a sweat on this mission.

Natalia deadpans at him, it happened again. Of all her failed missions, the cause was always because this assassin got to her target before she did. She had no idea why it kept happening, but it did.

"You know, it's not that I don't get my pay if I want exactly the one who killed my target, but I'd like to be able to be the one to complete my mission too." She deadpans, walking over to Helcurt to give him a pat on the shoulder.

"Eh? I wouldn't want a lovely lady like yourself to get her hands dirty." Helcurt smirked, "A simple thank you would suffice. I have places to be."

"I'll never thank you for stealing my target." Natalia scoffed, "Good on you, I have places to be as well."

Both assassin gave each other a nod before heading out. This was just another one of their coincidental encounters.

It did begin to bother Natalia how the other assassin seemed to get to her target before she did just as easily.

"Excellent work, Natalia, I knew I could count on you." Natalia nodded in respect, turning around to exit the room. She'd just finished giving her report to her client. Mission accomplished, just not in the way she hoped it be.
