Hi everyone,
I hope you like this little something I thought of writing, by the way. this is warrior cats so just for the people that don't know what that is...ya.
So I also recomend that you read all books before reading this because you will need to know who the 'three' are to understand this.
I'm really worried no one will like da story though but yeah. please give it some time though. chapter one and two are kinda boring but you know, that's the beginnings.
Hope you likey:D
Love H4CK3D
Disclaimer: I do not own the warrior books. only my characters in the chapters.
Some say our destiny is tied to the land, as much a part of us as we are of it...
Others say fate is woven together like cloth, so that ones destiny is intertwined with many others. It's the one thing we search and live for, or fight to change.
Some never find it. though there are some that are led Through prophecies to omens and curses. But let me warn you, not everyones Destiny is good.
-Chapter one |Echokit|-
"Echokit, wake up! we're becoming apprentices today!" Icekit squealed, poking him.
Echokit groaned, and moved Icekit's paw away. Then, he sat up and stretched.
The kits' were finally six moons, they had whatched all the other kits become apprentices And leaving the nursery, but it was finally them!
Echokit looked around at the nursery, Gingerkit and flightkit were still asleep, purring softly in their dreams. they would become apprentices any day now.
"I hope I get Mossstripe as my mentor!" Icekit who was sitting next to them purred.
"She's a really good hunter!"
Echokit yawned and stretched his back into an arch.
"I want a strong warrior as my mentor!" He growled with the same amount of excitement, jumping into the air. suddenly wide awake.
Sunpaw sighed, looking at the medicine cat den. then she giggled, looking up at the bright sun..
"We should go outside!" she squealed, not waiting for Echokit and Icekit as she raced out of the nursery.
Echokit leaped out behind her, chasing her pale, fluffy tail. Always the adventurous one, he thought as he caught her tail, a big fluffy thing being dragged behind her body.
She turned and hissed trying to run away. "Hey no fair!" she squealed. Echokit purred and walked up to his mother who was still asleep. Echokit bunched his hunches and sprang on top of her startling her awake. Their mother, heatherfur gasped, then gave a hiss as she saw Echokit, he giggled. "We're gonna be apprentices!" He purred, jumping off her and tripping after his sisters.
Outside the sun-high patrol was assembling, the clan was moving around busily as the morning air shined on their fur.
"Hi!" Echopaw trotted over to the sun-high patrol, his sisters following on his tail.
"Hello Echokit," A big, black warrior called Darkpelt purred."
an idea popped into Echokit's mind and he smiled innocently at the big warrior.
"Could we please come with you!" he squeaked, holding his tail high in the air proudly.
"Yeah," Sunkit purred, looking up at the sun-high patrol, "We're becoming apprentices today!"
A white warrior stalked up to the kits. oh no! Echokit thought, it's the grumpy Rushtail, He'll never let us go!
"No." Rushtail simply mewed, sitting next to Darkpelt.
"You don't even know what we were talking about," Darkpelt turned to Thrushtail, confused.
"I do actually, and I also heard that there is a loose fox running around outside, so the answer is no." Thrushtail stalked away, turning to a dark tabby warrior called Webfur.
"Sorry," Darkpelt mewed, turning away to trot out of the tunnel with the rest of the patrol.
Echokit pouted, i knew it, He thought.
"Echokit!" a small voice squeaked, Echokit turned, it was Gingerkit.
"I came to say goodbye!" She squealed.
Echokit licked her ear.
"Why?" he asked, watching the last tail of the sun-high patrol disappear.
"Because Amberstar said she wants to do your apprentice ceremony at sun-high! and that's what it is right now!"
Echokit purred and liked the Gingerkit, i'll miss you, he thought.
"Goodbye," he mewed, he leaped onto of the kit and started wrestling her for the last time in a while.
"You coming?" Sunkit squeaked from a few fox-lenghts away, "We can sneak after them!"
"We shouldn't do that, we might not become apprentices as punishment!" He hissed, not glancing at his sisters, this time was to say goodbye to Gingerkit.
"It's almost time for your apprentice ceremony, you need to be groomed!" Heathertail their mother mewed, coming up behind Gingerkit and shoving them towards the nursery.
"Stay out of trouble!" Echokit called to the ginger furred she-kit as his sisters pulled his tail away. "That took forever!" Sunkit squeaked.
"Yeah, someones got a crush!" Icepaw teased, Echokit blushed, licking his chest fur in embarrassment. "No!"
The three kits padded back into the nursery at their mothers call.
"Come here!" she mewed at the kits, she grabbed Icekit and started licking her, she wriggled under her tongue.
"When can we do it?" Echokit complained, as his mother finished with the squealing Icekit and started on Sunkit.
"When you become apprentices," a deep voice mewed, Echokit turned and gasped. Hailstorm!
"Dad!" Sunpaw squeaked as their mother licked her head.
Their dad grabbed Echokit and started rasping his tongue on his check, ignoring his mewls of protest.
You don't have to wait much longer, Echokit thought to himself.
its almost time!
Their mother and father finished licking the kits' fur, and the three squealed, racing to Stripestorm, the mother of Gingerkit and Flightkit. She had always played with the kits and taken care of them, their mother and father were never there, Maplesplash, their mothers sister always came in instead, and Stripestorm had always been there for them. Stripestorm purred as Echokit trotted over, his sisters tripping over his fluffy tail behind him.
"Came to say goodbye?" The queen purred at the three kittens, watching them jump up into her nest, Flightkit and Gingerkit were already outside.
"YES!" Icekit squealed, rubbing her tiny head against Stripestorm's cheek. Stripestorm purred, "Well bye then," She hissed, nosing them off her nest, they tumbled out of it squealing.
"Don't get to exited!" A voice sneered behind the three kits. Echokit turned to see Blazepaw, he growled. Blazepaw had been mean ever since he was a kit! He had always spoiled their games, and his mentor was Thrushtail, what a perfect match!
Icekit growled and grabbed Blazepaw's leg, Icekit and Blazepaw had been enemies since the start. Blazepaw gave a hiss, "Get off!" He growled, he threw Icekit off and stalked out of the nursery. Icekit growled after him, her fur fluffed up to make her look more like a fluffy white dove.
Echokit twitched his ears, he could hear their leader yowling a gathering from outside the nursery. HE heard his sisters squeal in excitement. Echokit gave his chest fur a quick lick and left the nursery. "Goodbye," he could hear Stripestorm call after him.
"It's time!" Echokit breathed.
. . .
"We are gathered here today to witness the making of new apprentices. Sunkit, Icekit and Echokit. they have reached their sixth moon and are ready to become apprentices. step forward you three." Amberstar Addressed the clan, sending a thrill of excitement through Echopaw, this is it! he thought.
"Echopaw, from this moment on, until you receive you warrior name, you will be known as Echopaw. Webfur, you are a skilled warrior with much experience, I hope you make Echopaw a good a warrior as you." Amberstar calmly meowed.
Echopaw raced over to her new mentor, touching noses with his mentor. Webfur! he thought, staring at him in awe, he's a really brave cat!
"Icekit, from this moment on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be called Icepaw, Applefur, you are an amazing hunter, i hope you will turn Sunpaw into a great warrior."
Echopaw watched in joy as his sister touched noses with the deputy Applefur. what an honour! he thought.
Suddenly Berrysky walked up to them, the old medicine cat walked up the steps to the high ledge.
"As you all know, I won't be around for ever, so i need to take on an apprentice." The grey medicine cat turned to Sunpaw, who was beaming in joy.
"Sunpaw has shown to have excellent medicine cat qualities, and i would like her to be my apprentice."
Echopaw gasped, so that was what Sunpaw had been doing all the times she had sneaked out of the nursery and into the medicine den, she always said that she had a belly ache or a head ache but she had really been helping Berrysky!
"Sunpaw, do you accept the post of a medicine cat?" Amberstar mewed, turning to face Sunpaw.
"Yes!" she squealed.
"Then at half moon, I will take you to the moon pool to be accepted by Starclan." Berrysky announced
"Sunpaw! Icepaw! Echopaw!" Thunderclan cheered.
he trotted away happily, and bumped into his mentor.
"Hello!" Echopaw squealed to Webfur in surprise, watching his amused smile.
"Hello."
Echopaw's sisters raced over to him, jumping up and down in excitement.
"So do you wanna see the territory?" Webfur asked.
Echpaw gave a little bounce, "Yes please!" he added hastily.
"Me too!" Icepaw yowled, racing up beside Echopaw.
Echopaw looked behind him, Sunpaw must have left in boredom, she never liked to talk about warrior stuff.
"Okay, but as you heard, there is a loose fox running around in the territory, this is going to be a small trip, but still dangerous."
Webfur was suddenly very serious, looking down at the apprentices.
"If i say run, you run. you have to do what I say."
"we promise." Icepaw mewed.
As the cats' walked over to the exit, Echopaw heard Applefur mew an agreement to Webfur about her apprentice, then Applefur turned back to the cats gathered around her.
"Okay, Dewtail and I will attack the fox from the front, then Flowermist and Duststalk will attack it from the back, making the fox run away," the deputy called.
Was that about the fox? Echopaw wondered as he padded out of the camp.
"Wow!" squealed Echopaw in amazement.
"SO many trees!" Icepaw added, catching up to Echopaw.
everywhere they looked they could see trees, the trees were a lush green with brown bark, bushes hoarded below these trees and grass tickled the cats' pads as they walked through the forest.
"Are we there yet?" Echopaw mumbled as the two apprentices trailed after Echopaw's mentor. "We've been walking for since sun-high!" he added looking at the setting sun.
"Yes we're here!" Webfur replied after a long pause.
He jumped over a log, Echopaw scampered over it and fell onto of his sister.
"Hey!" she complained, but they both froze when they saw the lake.
"WOW!" Icepaw gasped.
"Its big!" Echopaw added.
"Obviously," Webfur joked.
Echopaw slowly padded over to the lake. "You can touch it," Webfur sniffed, splashing his paw in it. Echopaw jumped into the water, "Ah!" He yelped and splashed franticly back to his mentor and sister. "its wet! and cold!"
"Well be glad that you weren't around when this giant thing dried up!" Webfur purred, watching Echopaw shake his fur.
"What! it can't dry up! it's to big!" Icepaw yowled. Echpaw heard webfur sigh, walking away with Icepaw, "It was a very, very long time ago!"
Echopaw stared at the lake, he imagined himself controlling the earth, I would make the ground go high so I could dry up the lake again! he thought. "Now what?" he asked, giving a little jump. but no one answered. he looked around, fear eating at him as the only sound returning his calls was the wind and the birds.
suddenly a growl came from behind him, he froze in horror and slowly turned around.
Before him stood a huge dog like figure, it was red with black socks on its paws. it looked just like the foxes that the elders had told in their stories.
Fox!
Echopaw gasped, backing away, his emerald eyes round in fear. I'm gonna die. and I'm not even a warrior yet! he thought.
suddenly something overtook him, he bunched his muscles, a vision came to him of a Brown tabby tom staring at a fox like Echopaw was right now. The tabby looked exactly like him! except he was a shade darker and had green eyes. He jumped at the fox and at the last moment ducked as the fox leaped as well, the tom scraped the foxes belly and sent it racing away into the bushes.
Echopaw shook his vision away, I'll copy the tom! He decided, there was no way of outrunning a fox, and he wasn't strong enough to climb the trees.
Echopaw jumped into the air, watching the fox leap as well. he ducked and stuck his paw out, unsheathed and felt blood splatter his face.
the fox whined and backed away, spitting at Echopaw.
Echopaw panted lying down on the ground in exhaustion.
"Echopaw!" Icepaw screamed, fear brimming in her voice.
"We thought you died." She started liking Echopaw furiously on the ears.
He returned the lick, panting as his mentor raced beside his sister.
"I saw the fox disappear," He called to him, gasping in worry and disbelief.
"Did you chase it away?" Echopaw nodded, showing the move he had done to scare the fox.
"But thats an extremely advanced move!" Webfur mewed in disbelief, staring at Echopaw with a new respect in his eyes. His amber eyes allowed amazement as Webfur's breaths came out in curious gasps. "Are you sure you don't know where you learnt them?" He allowed, his voice laced with curiosity like a kit out of the nursery.
There was a long silence before Icepaw Murmured "Can we still see the old Thunderpath?!" Webfur turned to took at Icepaw, "I think your brother is exhausted, we need to see to his wounds," He grunted, his voice as tough as steel as he turned calling behind him
"Lets go home."
