by retrowolfdog

With her mother turned traitor, and her father in another clan, Echokit will have to live with the constant taunts. Her mother escaped, and slowly picking off the clan, will Echokit be able to withstand her mother's clutching paws that are trying to pull her away from her home? (R&R! BTW this will be a short story and most likely branch off to something else lol :3)

Chapter 1

Two pairs of eyes flashed in the dark night, claws unsheathed and ready to battle. A gray she-cat with tan markings hissed, "It's time for me to rule AshClan Minnowstar!"

Minnowstar snarled, "Never Silverpeak! Cats who choose to betray their clans should live as rogues or loners!" Silverpeak leapt as Minnowstar, her green eyes ablaze with fury. Minnowstar raised herself, grappling Silverpeak.

A screech tore from Silverpeak's throat as Minnowstar bit into her shoulder. The two rolled, but Minnowstar wouldn't let go. Spitting hate, Silverpeak struggled free. Blood trickled down the gash in her shoulder, and her fur was fluffed up to twice its size in anger.

Minnowstar hissed in pain as Silverpeak launched herself forward, her teeth burying deep into her leg. Minnowstar snapped her head around and bit into Silverpeak's ear.

Silverpeak snarled, "You'll regret that foxdung!" Minnowstar thrashed her head, jerking Silverpeak's jaws off her leg and tearing up her ear.

Minnowstar hissed, "Why did I let you stay as deputy after you had your kits? What will you do now that you have to leave your daughter?"

Silverpeak growled, "That kit can die for all I care. She was nothing but a nuisance to me!" Minnowstar lashed her tail; no kit should be talked about that way! Leaping at Silverpeak, she managed to surprise her.

Minnowstar's teeth dug into her neck. Silverpeak flashed her claws over Minnowstar's muzzle. Struggling free, she tried to back away into the trees. Lighting flashed overhead, lighting up the two cats.

The nearest tree crashed down with, ablaze with flames. It quickly spread. Silverpeak widened her eyes in fear. Minnowstar stalked forward, her eyes narrowed with anger. She snarled at Silverpeak, "See? This is what happens to cats who betray their clans!"

Silverpeak crouched down, her eyes wide with fear, "I'm sorry! I really am! Please forgive me!" Minnowstar still had her angry look on her face.

More lighting crackled overhead and rain began to pour down, settling down the flames as they spread further into the forest. Minnowstar shoved her face into Silverpeak's her eyes narrowed in anger, "Cats who betray their clan and clan leader deserve to die."

Silverpeak screeched as Minnowstar bit into her throat. She scrabbled on the ground, her claws making deep gouges in the earth. Minnowstar released her grip on the she-cat, and she gasped in pure agony.

She eyes were dull with pain and the wound dripping blood. Minnowstar spat, "I'll leave you here to die a death you deserve. " The gray she cat dragged her self away, into the dark trees. Smoke filled the air, and the faint sound of a last twig crackling died off.

Silverpeak screwed up her eyes as the smoke and ash blew in the wind. She shook her head, That mousebrain! I could have made AshClan great! She dragged herself out of the forest, over the wooden twoleg fence.

Blood dripped down from her wounds, and her vision became fuzzy. Jumping down with a grunt, she landed on the stone gray paths of Twolegplace. She padded a around a corner, exhaustion screaming in her muscles.

She collapsed near the thunderpath, her eyes getting droopy. Suddenly, she felt large and strong paws pick her up. She closed her eyes in satisfaction, Just you wait Minnowstar. I'm not dead yet!
