Something wasn't right. The hair on her neck stood on end as Alek waited impatiently for the rest of her flock to return. Her fingers drummed on her arm as she waited. Her ears twitched at every sound trying to hear everything. Everything in her told her to go and find her flock mates, but she couldn't leave Addy and Synax. She had to trust in others for this flock to work. Secretly, she would never admit this to anyone, she feared that something might set off Tyson. Their conditioning was hard to fight at times and to give in to instinct, the most primal part of them was always tempting especially in danger. Many times Alek almost had in the School, but refused to be their monster. She had to believe in them, but be ready for the worst... She always had to be ready for the worst.
