The phone rung and the sharp high sound caught my attention.
It sat on the table lit up and lighting up the dark room while highlighting the dust speckles in the air.
I picked up the phone to see the words Master as the caller ID, this must of been Natalia's phone. It couldn't have been the subordinates because it was the latest model of Yaki Phones.
It's too expensive for them to afford. I picked up the phone, intrigued to know more about their so called genius master. Then again if he was the one who coded all those websites he's definitely a genius among geniuses.
I pressed the green accept button on the screen and held it to my ear waiting for the person on the other side to speak.
"Hello little Mic, fancy seeing you entertaining my oh so boring life."
I was speechless, the person on the other side was their Master and... my brother.
He orchestrated everything. From the robots to Natalia.
Meaning their are no multiple rebellions, only one and that one is run by Elijah.
The world really is a small place.
"Good morning brother, fancy hearing you here as well."
"I must say Mic your hacking skills are really improving, I actually had to think about one or two of them for a while"
His voice was so cheerful and nostalgic.

"Hey Mic do you want to play?"
One of the boys far away interrupted.
"Eli, don't bother with him just hurry up!"
My brothers eyes turned darker, around this time I was about 4 and crying against the school wall because I got a suspension warning that I didn't want to show my parents for beating someone up because they wanted to teach me a lesson.
"Brother, you can go play with your friends I'll be going home soon,"
I tried to calm myself down, it wasn't working. My ragged breathing and red puffy eyes were evidence of my tears.
"You guys go then and don't expect to see me hanging out with you in the future."
The boys who were walking away looked back and then came back running.
"Eli you can't! "
Other protests like that then bombarded my brother.
"Go away and leave me alone, just like how you wanted to leave him alone,"
He looked scary then.
"Come on Little Mic lets go play!"
He looked at me with a bright smile.
End of flashback'
He was the epitome of big brother, nice, kind and a fatherly figure or a best friend. He was probably the best part of my life that I've ever had. Tears stung my eyes at another betrayal, one after the other, God, your just playing with my life now.
I registered the rest of his words, he was only trying for a few websites and I was trying with everything I had! This was on the edge of magic. I needed to train a lot harder to catch up to him.
"Mic, how are you? I have always kept an eye on you and wanted to kill those bastard parents of ours. Why don't you join me? You'll never have to be heir and the Coltus line will finish."
Oh it was so tempting to just take the deal the second it ended.
But I couldn't , my 'sixth sense' which I usually trusted, advised strongly against it.
"I'm sorry brother, but I have something I need to do first. I need to get through my life."
"Ok then Mic, I'll be waiting for you to finish that. Then you can join XY. Please don't tell anyone my last name.
My name will no longer be Coltus, my name is Elijah Xhylum."
Beeping could be heard after that, he ended the call and I put down the phone facing down.
The room was left messy, the chair was half turned, the curtains were crinkled and blood made the centre piece of the room which was dimly lit.
The dim lights gave it an eerie look and the blood was elegantly splattered across the floor sourcing from the body of the now dead Natalia, the ring blood looked elegant to me almost.
I dropped the pocket knife to finish decorating the room then pushed on the door handle.
I left the room and went to find the owner to inform him that he'll be under arrest.
"Hey!"
The owner of the household was running, trying to escape yet he's so stupid that he doesn't know the predator would want to come after him more.
I managed to corner him after some stalking.
"What do you want from me!"
He was panting heavily while saying those words full of fear.
"Don't tell a soul of this even and I've also come to inform you that you will be facing life imprisonment for an act of treason,"
I pulled out my phone to text the police office to arrest this man.
He nodded him head and drops of sweat were forming on his temple. He swallowed out of fear and excitement was just filling my insides from this scared prey, ripe for the picking!
I turned around and heard his sigh of relief but ignored him.
I left the house looking the same except for the haunted room and a scared owner that was sworn to secrecy.
The exterior looked the same and I looked like a person going to visit the person in that particular household.
I walked across the well maintained lawn to the limo on the next street.
Mark eyed me and I proceeded to enter the car as he pressed the button to unlock the doors.
"Let's go home, that's enough travelling for now,"
I got out my laptop and practiced, even more determined to top that brother of mine and focused the whole way home.
No injuries today and the previous injuries were healing nicely. I'll be left with two scars, not too bad, not too bad at all.
