Echopaw's Shadow (I'll change the name when I know his warrior name): Chapter one: Stonemist whimpered. "Cloud, don't go! I need you, they need you!" Cloud growled. "I don't need clan blooded kits!" Stonemist dug her head into the moss she had sucked on. Cloud was gone. "I promise.." She muttered softly. "I'll make you well-known through the clans, you three." She named them Tiger, Swift, and Echo. Chapter 2: "Echo!" "Go away!" Echo grunted. Swift pulled at his tail. "Ok, ok!" Echo hissed. He stood up. "What?" Swift flicked his tail, and Tiger came. The she-cat answered for him. "Explore!" Tiger squeaked. Echo blinked. "I'll tell mom." He started to walk away, but Swift stopped him. "On secret!" He added. "Mom doesn't want us to go. She says we are 'all she has. " Echo gulped. "Fine, but I'm getting the first piece of prey!" *** Swift and Tiger looked happy to reach a meadow, but Echo shivered. Tiger looked around. "Don't worry, it'll be fine." Echo blushed, then turned away. "I- I know.." A soft voice suddenly spoke: "You must be aware." Echo looked up, terrified. So did Swift. Tiger did too, but she was calm. "What?" She asked, confused. Swift and Echo looked more terrified. What's wrong with Tiger? Chapter 3: When Echo told her, she didn't believe it. "Spirits? I don't think so!" She snorted. Suddenly, a dog snatched Tiger by the neck. "Tiger!" Echo screeched, but Swift held him back. Tears ran down Echo's cheeks as Tiger screamed, and he had to cover his eyes. "No.. this.." Swift sighed. "Its happening Echo. We better go." Tiger looked up with pleading eyes. "Don't leave me!" Then she lay motionless. "Go!" Swift yowled, tugging Echo. Chapter 3: Echo's eyes were red from crying. It was the second day since the Tigers 'accident', and they had been hiding ever since. That night, he would hear a screech from Stonemist, then silence. Swift looked down. "Mom is right." He said. "You are all I have." Echo stood up. "Come on, I know a place." Swift didn't ask any questions and followed. As they crossed a mountain, Echo stopped to rest, but Swift looked alarmed. "Echo-" He started, but then Echo silenced him with a flick of his tail. "Echo!" Swift screamed, then he started to cough. Echo zipped around. "Swift?" His voice was filled with worry. Swift coughed more and Echo worried more. Was it green cough? What herbs did he need? Swift started to feel weak, so Echo lay beside him. After that night, Echo found Swift motionless. On the ground. The dark tom started to whimper and stayed there for another night. Chapter 4: Echo tragically dragged himself across the meadow. It had been a moon, and he was tired. Then, he heard to voice again. "Don't give up hope." Echo kept his strength, and kept walking. That night slept near the border of Rainclan and was kicked out. Same with Silverclan. Echo felt lost in terror, and sighed. Screams appeared in his head. Was it worth it? No, of course not. And here he will die, along the border of a clan, Lightclan. Suddenly, a huge she-cat loomed over him. "Hi." She said, calmly. "Whats your name?" Echo looked up in shook. "E-Echo.." He stammered. "I-It.." Beechstar looked at him. "Come with me." Chapter 5: "Echopaw, Echopaw, Echopaw!" Echopaw heard his new name echo through the tree, the cats, and the shadows. He smiled a weak smile. Swift, Tiger, and Stonemist were gone, but he had a new home, with new clan-mates, and new chances. || ||
