He walked towards his door and opened it, leaving his room to walk down the stairs.

He walked down the stairs only to find Garroth entering the living room not noticing him. 

'If I have to suffer he will too,' He clenched his fist.

"Hey Garroth, I thought you finally got the message and left, seems not." Garroth looked back at him.

"Suprised to see me?..."

"Not really, I figured it wouldn't be that easy for you to take the hint and leave, or even get rid of you."

"You know, I can say I pretty glad you came back here. Because now, I can let you know how I felt that day, the day you ruined my life!" He charged towards him raising his fist upwards to swing it at Garroth, Garroth caught the shoulder he punched with and pushed it back, catching him off guard and punching him in the stomach. He held his stomach and stumbled back, gritting his teeth. Garroth looked at him with a glare, closing his hands into fists turning his knuckles white. 

"I don't want to do this Zane, I don't want to fight you, but I will if have to, don't start this, Zane; you know better." Garroth scolded, a frown on his face. Zane inhaled a deep breath, and moved the shoulder that was punched, he winced and grabbed it. "Take the hint and know that I'm not stopping this fight, I'm ending it, I'm ending everything you did to me." He went in for another punch but Garroth only got out of the way. "Ending what?! What did I ever do to you?!"

Zane only looked to him with a glare. "That adventure we went on when we went into the basement and messed it up even after being told not to... Who do you think got all the blame?"

"I did," He turned towards him. "And that day what do you think your father told me? That if I ever tried to ruin his view of you I'd no longer be your brother, he would get rid of me..." Garroth gasped and took a few steps back. "No... He wouldn't dare," Zane grinned. "Only he did..."

"What have you two done?!" The moved from their hiding place, ready to run to the stairs. "Get out, both of you!" Garroth grabbed Zane's hand and rushed towards the exit, Zane only to let go and slowed down behind him. Right at the door, Garroth looked back to Garte holding Zane by his wrist. "Zane, I want you to stay, we need to have a talk." He looked mad. "Garroth... You can leave, you're not involved in this." Garroth backed up and hide behind a nearby object.

Garte let go of Zane's wrist and Zane turned to look at him. "And what exactly do you think you're doing with Garroth down here?" He sounded angry and he was, it only made them both even more scared. "We were only playing! W-we didn't mean to make a mess, it was Garroth's id-"

"Stop blaming your brother for your mistakes, I don't know why I was shocked that you did something like this, you always do things like this. But I won't allow you to drag the heir to the company down as well."

Garroth hid further into his hiding spot, he didn't know how he could help his brother.

"All you've done is continue to cause trouble for me and this family, you've only been kept around this long because your mother insisted I did so, the same with your younger brother. But if you ever even try to ruin his future as the next heir of the company, or drag him down again I'll make sure to get rid of you myself and make sure no one finds out what happened to you and why you went missing."
