"Hey, Endlesskit! Over here!" Echokit shouted. Her stomach was growling, but, like all kits, she had learned not to ask for food. "You'll have to come get it" Endlesskit teased, "not like you could!" "That's not very nice!" Echokit retorted as she ran over to get the mossball, battering it out of her brother's paws. "where's Treekit?" she asked, suddenly realizing that Treekit wasn't with them. "I don't know, but lately when he disappears he's over by the Fresh-kill pile, stealing food" Endlesskit replied, already starting to run over to the fresh-kill pile, where Echokit could already see that Morningflight, their mother, was scolding him. I can smell his fear-scent from here. she thought. "Treekit, you should know better! What makes you think you are any different than any other cat in Earthclan?" Morningflight yelled. "nothing." Treekit said. "Exactly. What is the rule about eating food?" Morningflight asked. "We only eat when Twilightstar tells us to." Treekit replied like he didn't care. "Good. Now go play with your littermates." Morningflight said dismissively. Treekit ran over to where Endlesskit and Echokit were waiting. "I hate that rule! Kits should be able to eat whatever they want" He yelled frustratedly. "Yes, they should, but with the shortage of food it's for the good of all cats that we have limited access to food." Endlesskit replied. "Will all cats above 3 moons gather by the Moonlit-Stone for a clan meeting!" Twilightstar yelled. "Let's go!" Endlesskit shouted.
Once all the cats were by the Moonlit-Stone, Twilightstar began. "It is time to name some new apprentices. Endlesskit and Echokit, step forward." Echokit and Endlesskit walked to right beneath the Moonlit-Stone. What about Treekit? "From this day forward, until they receive their warrior names, Echokit and Endlesskit shall be known as Echopaw and Endlesspaw. Ridgenose, you will be Echopaw's mentor. May you pass on your spirit and honesty to this apprentice. Stonedust, you will be Endlesspaw's mentor. May you pass on your determination and strength to this apprentice." Echopaw and Endlesspaw touched noses with their mentors. Out of the corner of her eye, Echopaw saw Treekit run away."Echopaw! Endlesspaw!" Their clanmates shouted. "Meeting, dismissed" Twilightstar said. Echopaw immediately ran to go see if she could find Treekit in the place he always went when he was upset; he called it the Thinking Stump.
Sure enough, Echopaw found Treekit at the Thinking Stump. "Treekit, it wasn't our choice. It was Twilightstar's." Echopaw said."I know, Echopaw, but I always dreamed about having our apprentice ceremony together." Treekit finished. "Um.. Treekit?" Echopaw asked. "Yes." Treekit said. "Do you know why Twilightstar did our apprentice ceremonies seprettally?" Echopaw asked. "I have an idea. I think it's because I get into trouble a lot." Treekit said, "But I'm sorry about it." "Treekit, do you think that if you went and talked to Twilightstar he would let you become an apprentice?" Echopaw asked. "No harm in trying!" Treekit almost shouted.
I know it seems short. It is, but the later chapters are longer.
