I have been meaning to post something on this website and finally I have the chance to. I will also be probably be posting a chapter each week. Like I said before, Hope you enjoy!
Chapter 1: The Illness
Echofoot ran through the trees. It was snowing hard and all she could see was white and the night sky, which had no stars or even a moon. She heard a voice calling.
'Echofoot! Hurry! You're running out of time!' the voice yelled.
Echofoot stopped in her tracks. "But I don't even know who you are or where you are!" Echofoot looked around for any signs of the mysterious she-cat's voice.
'Then follow my voice!' the she-cat's voice said, a little impatient.
Echofoot listened very closely as the mysterious she-cats voice kept encouraging Echofoot to find her. She listened for another minute, then decided that the voice was coming from up ahead. She ran forward and fell into the ice cold snow. She quickly got back up to see a silver and white she cat standing over her. Echofoot looked into her deep dark blue pools that she called eyes and saw the compassion and the desperateness.
'It took you long enough!' the she-cat meowed. She looked behind Echofoot and her eyes got wider. 'We ran out of time!'
"What do you mean?" Echofoot asked, yelling over the wind.
'I mean, we ran out of time for us to talk! Before you awaken just remember…" The silver and white she-cat got caught off and looked panicked as Echofoot faded.
Echofoot woke up with a start. What was that cat trying to tell her. She shook her head and got up looking outside. The sunlight shined through the vines that blocked the warriors den from the ThunderClan camp clearing. She looked around the den and realized that all the other warriors were probably already outside doing patrols. She walked outside, when someone yowled.
She turned her head and saw her friend Leafwing standing around with a worried expression on her face. Echofoot ran over to Leafwing. "What's going on?" Echofoot asked Leafwing. Leafwing didn't answer. Echofoot cleared her throat which caught Leafwing's attention.
"It's Dawntail! She's really sick! Fernshine has tried everything. Right now Sagepaw is fetching more herbs" Leafwing exclaimed.
"Is there anything I can do to help?" Echofoot asked. "I don't think so…" Leafwing said, doubtfully. "Do you at least know what caused this illness?" Echofoot continued. Leafwing shook her head.
Well your no help, Echofoot said to herself. Echofoot sighed and walked away. She was almost to the camp entrance when she bumped into Fernshine, who was coming from the queens den. "Sorry, Fernshine. I heard about Dawntail. Is there anything I can do to help?" Echofoot asked. "I don't think I can even do anything…" Fernshine sighed. Echofoot touched her tail to the medicine cats shoulder. Fernshine glanced at Echofoot and smiled, then walked away in a hurry. Echofoot looked at the entrance of the nursery. She heard kits yowling and then saw two warriors, Shadowfur and Shallowblaze carry Dawntail out of the nursery and over to some bushes and laid her down. Dawntail's dusky brown pelt looked dull. Another warrior, Blackfall blocked the entrance of the nursery. Dawntail's kits, Mosskit, Amberkit and Finchkit were yowling in protest as their mother got taken away from them.
Echofoot looked at Dawntail again. At least she could see her chest rising and falling. Echofoot sighed and turned around, walking to the warriors den, hoping this was all just a dream. She was interrupted by Sagepaw running from the medicine cat den to the elders den carrying a bundle of herbs. This made Echofoot's stomach churn. From the looks of it, one of the elders were sick too.
Echofoot looked up at the sky, wondering if StarClan is watching over the clan. She turns her attention back to the sick cats and tries to find Fernshine. Echofoot walked through the elders den to find the sick elder, Snowsplash lying on her side, not moving. Echofoot closed her eyes. A cat can't die already!
Echofoot backed out of the den before any cat could see her. She ran out and frowned. What hope does this clan have now?
