Lunar dreams and Lucid nightmares.

Chapter 9 Infiltrations

Sawyer's POV

Today was the day. After finding out the identity of a Bloodbound member, we decided that it was finally time for us to act against the Bloodbounds. However, I couldn't help but wonder. The Bloodbounds is a large group and if that wasn't enough to make you hesitate, they also use supernatural powers to get what they want. Will we even live through this? I wanted to convince Aisha to stay put, but I knew fully well how that conversation was going to end. She's not going to let this go, not until these guys are gone for good. And giving the fact she's barely giving me a second thought since yesterday; I don't think I could convince her for shit even if I tried.

Instead of hunting him down directly, like I wanted to, it made sense if we could catch him in the act and take down his crew at the same time. After all, it would be embarrassing and a problem if we caught the wrong guy. So, first we get some answers and then we decide our next move. I'm hoping that we could get Vincent and let Maya and her organization hunt down the rest. If they aren't the only one that happens to be present at that moment. However, I was hoping to pick Vincent's brain with a few questions of my own. Like why they killed my family for example. But now that I think about it, another question popped up. If they targeted my family, it must mean because they knew my parents. My mom was a world known chef and my father was the CEO of a vast industrious engineering company. If anything, my dad seems more likely to create enemies in his line of work. A job like that is more than likely. But what is it that they could've possibly done to get the attention of the worst kinds of crowds like that?

Did my dad do something? Did he knew something? Or was he involved with them? That thought alone was even worse than he knew or did something. Whether or not he was involved voluntarily or involuntarily, aware or unaware of what his was doing, to think he was somehow involved with these guys...It couldn't be, could it? Why would he?

Other than that, I still wonder why Aisha is suddenly giving me the cold shoulders. This has still been going on and I was beginning to worry. I tried to think back to our past conversations to think of an answer, yet I kept coming up empty handed. This happened ever since we had that talk about what will I do after this. I told her I didn't know what I would do after this, but she didn't seem all that thrilled about my answer. Did she wanted me to leave? Or did she wanted me to stay?

My mind was riddled with thoughts, conflicted feelings and questions. But all that ended when...

"Hey dude," Jesse shook me out of my thoughts. "You've been staring at the same tux for a while now," he replied, and I looked back down at a tux clenched into my hands. Of course, we're getting some formal wear to get in the party. We needed to and I grimaced when I noticed the flower patterns on it. Me, Jesse and the new addition to the group was looking through the men's store, while Aisha and Maya went to the woman's store just across the street. "Are you still deciding or..." he drawled, and I hanged it back.

"Not my style," I replied as I continued rummaging through the endless rows of tuxedos.

"I figured as much. Flowers doesn't really suit you," he replied, and I scoffed.

"Gee, how'd you figured," I mumbled to myself. I should buy a t-shirt that says 'Sarcasm is one of my many strengths'. A t-shirt like that will look good on me at this point. "I don't particularly do flowers. Least of all, imprinted with glitters on a fucking tuxedo.

"And yet, you took almost 20 minutes of your time just staring at it," he continued, and I growled slightly. My left eyebrow twitching.

"So? What of it?" I turned to him annoyed and he stammers.

"I-I its just-," he stammers before he sighed and continued to search through the rows of tuxedos. "Never mind," he says softly, defeated. "Just wanted to talk a bit, you know. You and Aisha has been joined at the hip lately and the two of us haven't really talked much. I thought maybe this could be a chance for us to talk a little."
