The Other Flock

by Jay FireStrun

Jeb, the "good" white coat, was perhaps more evil than anyone realized. He left his own son in the school to be tested on; Tancered Ride. Tanc escaped with his oldest friend Daniel Ortiz. Together, they form a new flock, bringing them into contact with Tanc's sister. Meanwhile, Daniel has a secret that threatens to destroy himself. Will he tell Tancered, or keep it to himself?

1. Introduction

The Other Flock

Tancered sat on his couch, scratching listlessly at the armrest. He was trying to keep cool, as his friend Daniel wasn't back yet. Daniel should have been back a long time ago. Something had happened. He jumped at least a foot when Daniel unlocked the door. Tancered steadied himself and smiled at Daniel, "What took you so long, bro? I'm starved." Daniel rolled his eyes and shut the apartment door. He walked to the kitchen and plopped the Chinese food down on the island. He tossed Tancered his box, setting one to the side and opening his.

As they sat in the kitchen and ate, their newest member, a 10 year old girl named Sofia, walked to them. She was rubbing her eyes sleepily. She wore a purple tank top, purple and black PJ pants, and her hair was back in a pony tail. She looked up at Daniel, her forest green eyes and red hair with purple feathers on the ends of braids making her look cute and innocent, "Danny? Up?" Daniel grinned and lifted Sofia onto his knee, pushing her her food. Tancered's grin widened. Daniel and Sofia had a special relationship. After she first saw him she stuck go him like glue. Daniel liked Sofia just as much. He and Tancered would die for Sofia and each other.
