"Now, you guys know the plan right?" Echopaw whispered to Frost and Leo.
"Yes," they both said in unison.
"Okay… Wait for them to open the door, then dart out of it as fast as you can," Echopaw repeated, more for himself then for the cats next to him.
Every dawn, the two kits left through the front door. If they could just squeeze out in time, they would be free again.
"NOW!" Echopaw yowled and darted out from his hiding spot. He ran through the front door and out into the open air. Yes! I'm free! Echopaw thought. He looked behind him and saw the twolegs running after the three cats, but couldn't keep up with their fast pace. They didn't stop running until they reached the border of Thunderclan's territory.
"What now?" Leo asked. Echopaw never really thought of that. It had been four days since Echopaw had invited them into his new clan, but he never thought about what he would do when they did escape.
"Echopaw?" Frost asked nervously. Echopaw ignored her when he smelled a familiar scent.
"Leafpool!" he yowled and found her and Jaypaw searching for herbs. She looked up in surprise and she and Jaypaw bounded over to Echopaw.
"Echopaw! You're back!! And you brought friends," she meowed. Jaypaw just sat next to her.
"Listen, you can't tell anyone at Thunderclan that they're here. I need to bring them somewhere and then I'm coming back. Don't tell anyone that you saw me, okay?"
"Okay, but hurry back!" she yowled as Leo, Frost, and Echopaw ran on the border of Thunderclan and Windclan's territory. They ran all the way up to Moonpool, where they stopped.
"Spottedleaf?" Echopaw called into the sky, which was the lightest shade of blue and was filled with fluffy, white, clouds. Leo and Frost just stood quietly, looking down and shuffling their paws.
There was a faint light up in the sky that floated downward towards the three cats. Leo and Frost each fluffed their fur out and pulled back their lips to show shiny, white, and sharp teeth. The light took form into a blue-gray she-cat. Echopaw started to raise his fur, which frightened Frost and Leo even more.
"Hello Echopaw, Frost, and Leo. I am Bluestar," the she-cat introduced herself when she was on the ground.
"As you, Echopaw, know, this is Moonpool," she pointed with the tip of her tail at the little pool next to her.
"What about it?" Echopaw asked.
"Well, this is close to where your clan will be. Leo, you will be the lost clan's new deputy and Frost, since you are expecting kits, you will be a queen. Obviously, the clan will need more cats to be complete, but for now, you only have four."
"But there are only three of us," Leo pointed out.
"Yes, but you are forgetting one other cat," Bluestar smiled in Echopaw's direction.
"Hazelpaw," he murmured.
"Yes, Hazelpaw will be a warrior of your new clan. Since you are only an apprentice, Spottedleaf and I will watch over you and give you advice when you have your clan all set. Soon, your time will come when you will receive your leader name and your nine lives. And I must ask, have you thought of a name yet?"
"Yes, Bluestar. The new name of my clan is…"
OHH!! What will be the new name of Echopaw's clan?? Don't ask me because I have NO idea!! Haha. So now, it is up to you!! In your reviews, state good names for Echopaw's new clan! The next chapter probably won't reveal it, sorry! Well, please give good ideas!!
