1 Chapter 1

"C'mon , don't fall" I commanded my sidekick as I ran with my gun , two soldiers wearing khaki uniforms equipped with high tech gear shot laser beams at me , I took cover behind a fallen buildings debris , as the laser beams shot like saber beams wisps of dust and dirt came flying towards my face

I also fired few rounds and jumped to the nearest entrance just as a beam zoomed past my helmet

I ducked low avoiding a crossfire as I ran to an opening to my right , close on my tail was my partner chasing me with his big beam gun , I ran upstairs - but two guards blocked the path

I brandished by magazine shaped knife pretending to surrender - and dived at the soldiers and cut their throat clean

I picked up my laser gun and continued upstairs

just as a laser short at my wrist , blood poured

out of it as it went missing

I struggled to make my way upstairs as a final beam shot through my head which made it burst into streams of blood and brains

"No thats not fair , you shot at me" I wailed as my younger sister led out an evil laugh

That sick evil laugh of triumph

I groaned as half of the T.V. screen went blank and two words: 'You Died' flashed on the screen in jagged blood red letters

My name is Shobhan Singh , I'm twelve , my sister Anjali recently turned eleven

All-in-one description for my sister can be hidden in a four letter word : B-R-A-T

We were playing 'The Last Man Standing' , it was a multiplayer video game , my sister deliberately shot me to proceed even top of me

Her avatar moved smoothly but when sniping a short notice from the server saying : "Player123456789Zag has been killed"

The player in the opposite team took advantage of that and took a clean shot right through her avatar's head

"Game Over" The computer growled as the same two words appeared on the screen , and then it became solid black

"Why did you even let him kill me" Anjali wailed as she tossed the controller on the leather sofa

"Excuse Me ?" I asked making a bewildered face

"No , Excuse Me , why did you even let him kill me" Anjali moaned in disgust

"Oh , C'mon , it's just a stupid game , let's play something else" I suggested rubbing my hands together

It was October , Monday evening, I rubbed by green sweater that my aunt gave me

Yuck I thought I just hate green , why my aunt always sends green clothing , my favourite is blue , it reminds me of dog puke just putrid green

"So what are planning for the Summer Break , I hope that you're not willing to spend the entire month blabbering in the stupid phone" Anjali said struggling to swat a fly

"Nope , just...I don't know , Mom and Dad promised that they will plan something for a family vacation real soon" I said calmly

It's a real shame when your parents are stingy

"Well ?" I asked

"Well What ?" She snapped back

"I meant that I hope that you're not going to spend time with that sicko Rahul" I teased her , I know that she hates to get teased about her boyfriend

She didn't showed any emotion and in sudden motion her hand shot up and hit me square on my right cheek

"Owww !" I shrieked as I rubbed my sore cheek which felt very warm "Why ?"

"Mosquito" She replied "I got it"

Real Mature I thought angrily

Just then Mom excitedly jumped in the front door swinging her shopping bags like a flail , one of it nearly bumped into me

"Mom , what's all the ruckus ?" I cried as she had the biggest grin on her face stretching wider and wider

"Justice , Finally!" She exclaimed joyfully

"What do you mean ?" We both asked

"I'm getting rid of you both" She said
