Though they passed several demons, they met no challenge until they reached the hall where Zero's rooms were located. Seven let out a long, soft hiss as she spotted the small, slender figure with fiery red hair leaning casually against the wall between them and Zero's door. "Damn," she muttered, making sure her voice carried no farther than the two of them. "I'd hoped she'd be somewhere else." She felt her fingertips warm in readiness for a fight. Already, the smaller woman was turning towards them, her dark blue eyes glittering with suspicion. "Seven," Thirteen called. Her voice, though high and almost childish, was icy. "You're back awfully soon." Without waiting for a response, she turned her cold gaze on Seven's companion. "Who is this? And where is Eleven? You and he were supposed to take care of the deserter, were you not?" As she spoke, movement caught Seven's eye. Two more assassins, both bearing Zero's mark on their shoulders, were stalking forward in a predatory way. "Zero won't be pleased if you've failed him," Thirteen went on, her voice carrying the hint of a snarl. "I'd even go as far as to say...this might be your first and last mistake."
