Chapter 22

Lexus throws open the front door just as Fiora is about to knock.

"We need to talk, where is Sora?" asks Fiora carefully not wanting to upset Lexus.

"She's gone home thanks to you. Who the hell are you?" yells Lexus as she stares at Fiora.

"Hmm I thought she may go home. Fine whoever is left we need to talk, may I come in?"

"Come on in Fiora, your right we do need to talk." Says Bobby as he pulls Lexus away from the door.

Fiora nods and steps into the house, she walks into the living room and sits down. Bobby and Lexus come in right behind her and Bobby sits on the floor while Lexus leans against the window frame.

"I should start from the start. I am not a Blood Moon, my tattoo is a fake, I am a Black Heart just like the rest of you. After you left Japan everything began to fall apart, the leaders weren't themselves any more and the Blood Moon's began to take over. Li sent to me for help. I am from the China gang but I am not under the elders control. I guess you could call me a rouge Heart."

Lexus grumbles a bit but says nothing.

"So I went to Japan and I tried to help the best I could but while talking with all the leaders we decided that the smart thing to do was to go into hiding. It's not be scared or anything like that, we were trying to survive. So we did; Li, myself and Sakura stayed at the compound and everyone else went on a "vacation". I don't know where they all went but they left. You must have noticed that after a month of you all begins here I arrived and started hanging out with Nikki and them. That was Li's idea, pose as a Blood Moon so I could track you down. Tara was on a mission, she wanted to find you all. Most of all Tima, Bobby and Sora. I don't know why she wants Tima or Bobby but she wants Sora so she can kill her, after she makes Sora kill her husband." Fiora pauses and sees the questioning looks on all their faces. "See if Tara's husband dies Tara becomes the full leader of the Blood Moon's she will have a lot of power and she will use it too. So if Sora goes to meet Tara, she will be taken right to Tara's husband so she can kill him."

"What is his name anyway?" asks Tima as she looks at Bobby.

Bobby shrugs, "I don't know, I never saw him. Never."

"Then how do you know he exists?" asks Fiora.

"Because of Alas. From what I learned Alas was just like his father in every way. Alas even talked about him all the time."

"So Sora is walking into a trap with Nick right beside her." Says Lux softly.

Fiora nods, "Yeah they are walking right into a trap and Sora has no idea how bad it really is."

"Sora I don't think this is a good idea. Do you think she will just take us to her husband?" asks Nick as he watches Sora drive, following behind Tara.

"It's a trap Nick plain and simple. Think about it, she's taking us too easily to him. It's got to be a trap so what I want you to do is make sure all your guns are loaded and get ready to fight. If I get captured I want you to leave, just stop what your doing and go home, call the others and bring them here. If I die leave."

"But Sora.."

"I mean it if I get killed I want you to leave. I'm not going to be the death of you too."

"I'm not leaving you Sora, I will be by your side until the end. You're my best friend I can't leave you there."

Sora nods but she doesn't look at Nick, she just watches the car in front of her. A little while later they pull up in front of a club, they pull around the back and park. Nick and Sora get out of the car and wait. Tara gates out of her car and starts walking to the back door of the club. She motions for Nick and Sora to follow. As they follow Tara Sora reaches under her coat as she puts her sunglasses away and she takes the safety off her guns. Inside the club it's dimly lit but there's enough light to see. Sora looks up at the stage and sees a few people standing there watching.

"Tara, where is your husband?" asks Sora as she stops in the middle of the dance floor.

Tara turns around and smiles, "He's been dead for some time actually. When my husband found out that your little friend had killed Alas, he took a gun and blew his head off. I have been leader since before you left. I'm surprised that you came with only one person, I would have expected Bobby to be with you."

Nick stands there amazed that the leader had been dead for months and no one knew.

"Bobby is elsewhere now. Why do you want him and Tima?"

"Protection my dear. Your elders are trying to kill them and I don't want that."

"Why?" asks Nick as he looks around the club.

"If I die Bobby and Tima will be the next leaders. Even though Bobby isn't my biological son he is legally my son."

"You adopted Bobby?" asks Sora.

"But you would think that the elders would want you to die so then they would have full control of both gangs."

"Nick you know very well that the elders aren't in control, your parents are. The elders have been sitting on the sidelines for years. Yelen and Xander have been out for blood for a long time."

"I don't get it." Says Sora softly.

Tara laughs an insane high pitched laugh, "You stupid girl, who do you think sent your aunt after Sakura when she was pregnant with you?"

"Yelen." Says a voice from the darkness of the club.

Sora's eyes scan the dark for a face. Her eyes fall on Sakura as she steps out of the dark with the rest of the leaders behind her and Li right beside her.

"Mom." Gasps Sora softly.

Sakura smiles as Meilin throws two people in front of Tara.

Sora looks down at the people who are tied up and gagged and she sees it's Yelen and Xander.

"How sweet." Coos Tara as she looks down at Xander and Yelen.

"Your husband didn't kill himself you killed him. You secretly called Xander and Yelen and told them that Alas, Tima and Bobby must die." Says Sakura as she holds her gun in her hand.

"Now why would I do that?" asks Tara.

"Because you are Xander's daughter, his only child lost to the Blood Moon's he would do anything to try and get you back on his side and you knew that and used it. But you had no intentions of joining him you liked being in control." Says Li as he glares hard at Tara.

"If you think you know me so well then tell me, Who am I going to kill first?" asks Tara as she waves her hand and the sound of guns can be heard all around them.
