Ecokit stood in the nursery watching her clan,Riverclan, go about there daily business which consisted of hunting,training,reinforcing the camp eating and sharing tongues. As Ecokit watched her father, Specklefur, walked over to the nursery and pushed his way in. Ecokit turned back to her little peep hole and continued to stare out at the clearing and that was when she noticed Quietstream, the clan medicine cat. Ecokit had been inside her den once or twice and had helped make piles of herbs and watched as Quietstream applied herbs to a nasty rat bite Flamepaw had gotten. She liked helping Quietstream but she wanted to be a warrior and had no intention of becoming a medicine cat. She was deep in thought when she started moving backwards she squeaked in surprise and turned around to see her mother Fernpelt grooming her sister Fawnkit fiercely and she saw Fawnkit trying to wriggle out of her grasp and attack there brother Owlkit who had a gleaming white pelt and sat just out of reach of Fawnkit. Ecokit looked up and saw her father pulling her towards him and he started to gently lick her pelt grooming her for the ceromony that would be happening soon. Ecokit was the smallest out of her siblings and had been very weak when she was born but she did not give up and this moment meant more to her than to her brother and sister. She knew who she wanted to be her mentor she was quick and cunning and very kind to Ecokit and Ecokit sat there thinking about it the whole perked up`as Morningstar called everyone to the center of the clan for a meeting and Ecokit padded out of the nursery with her brother and sister padding at her side. She padded to sit in front of Morningstar and she puffed up her chest a little and sat a little taller as Morningstar said "Today we gather to witness the naming of three new apprentices. Owlkit, Fawnkit and Ecokit please step forward." As they did so Morningstar called out to three warriors "Iceblaze,Darkstorm and Hollyflower please step forward." they did as they were instructed by there leader and she continued with the naming ceremony "Owlkit,Fawnkit and Ecokit the time has come for you to get your apprentice names. Owlkit from this moment forward you will be known as Owlpaw your mentor will be Iceblaze I hope he passes down his knowledge and skills to you." Owlpaw padded forward and licked his mentors shoulder as a sign of respect. Morningstar turned towards Fawnkit next "Fawnkit from this moment on you will be known as Fawnpaw your mentor will be Darkstorm I hope he passes down his skills and love to you." That means that Hollyflower is my mentor! Ecokit thought to herself as her name was called "Ecokit from this moment on you will be known as Ecopaw your mentor will be Hollyflower I hope she passes you her bravery and quick thinking." Ecopaw dipped her head to her mentor as the clan broke out cheering "Owlpaw!Ecopaw!Fawnpaw!" Ecopaw scampered over to where her brother and sister were and sat down besides her brother and sister as there mentors discussed what to do. ¨All right you three we will start by showing you the borders and close off with a short training session.¨ Hollyflower finally declared and the three mentors as well as there apprentices padded out of the camp.
"Windclan is attacking!" came the panicked yell of Foxwing as he scrambled through the entrance to the Riverclan camp. Ecopaw was instantly alert and ready to go her brother and sister were out hunting and she had the joy of hearing the elders stories as she searched for fleas. It was only her second day as an apprentice and she was eager to prove herself but at that moment her brother and sister came crashing through the entrance as well yowling about Thunderclan attacking and thinking it was a mistake she padded over to them and said quietly "Windclan is attacking not Thunerclan." Her brother looked at her like she was crazy and said "No Thunderclan is attacking they were by sunningrocks I saw the fox-heart Firestar in the lead." Morningstar walked up to the three bickering apprentices and said calmly "Ecopaw go to Shadowclan tell them we need help take Flamepaw with you he is a much more trained apprentice." Yeah and by that you mean he is a better fighter than me. Ecopaw had only had one training session but her small paws and size kept leaving her at a disadvantage compared to her siblings, who were big and strong. Sighing she padded over to Flamepaw and he jumped up saying to her "Let's go we cannot waste a second" ten he turned tail and walked out of camp with Ecopaw following close behind and when they had gotten farther from camp he broke into a run. Ecopaw was going slower than him but when he started running she streaked past him and made it to Shadowclan a good minute ahead of him. He came up to her breathing hard and meowed "Are you sure you are not part Windclan?" She nodded and they continued on to find the Shadowclan camp wasting no time at all there pelts brushing together occasionally as they walked through the tall pine trees and the dark shadows toward the heart of Shadowclan and they finally found it. Ecopaw bowed her head to Balckstar and said "We need your help. Riverclan is being attacked and we are outnumbered." Blackstar raised his tail and said "We will come every available warrior." he yowled to his clan to come to his side and they took off into the woods to aid there allies.
Ecopaw reached the camp in time to see it come alive with withering screeching cats as they locked in tooth and claw battle. She saw her brother and sister taking on a Thunderclan warrior with a sand colored pelt she wanted to dart over and help but teeth locked into her scruff and dragged her backwards. She turned around to see her father Specklefur with his teeth in her scruff and she shook him off teeth bared and hissed "Why can I not fight? I have had the same amount of training as Owlpaw and Fawnpaw!" Specklefur nuzzled her and said "I just want you to be safe." With that he jumped back into the middle of the battle screeching and yowling his victory and his battle cry at the same time. Ecopaw could only watch not one to go against her father and as she watched she wished she had. She watched as two Windclan toms attacked her mom one locked his teeth in her throat and she watched as her mother fell,dead. She watched her brother and sister fight off the sandy colored she-cat but she also watched as her sister jumped in front of her brother as a ginger tom leaped at them and she watched as the ginger tom's claws buried themselves in her sister's side and blood spurted up from the wounds. The tom yanked out his claws looking terrified and tried to stop the bleeding and that was when Ecopaw sprang into action and ran towards the medicine cat den. She did not see Quietstream but she grabbed a pawful of cobwebs and ran to her sister's side and pressed it onto her wounds and a cat sprung at her as she tried to stop the bleeding. The ginger tom leaped at him and pinned him down hissing "No Graystripe we only fight warriors and warrior apprentices not medicine cats. We do not what happened to our clan happening to there's" Ecopaw turned back to her sister and only looked up when she heard a shriek of someone in grave pain and saw her father fighting off a warrior blood gushing out from a wound in his stomach. Ecopaw sat down next to her sister and tried to block out the sounds of blood and battle realizing she was not cut out for battle and making up her mind in that instant.
