Echostar's Wish

by Mistsplashdraws

Born blind in one eye, Echokit's only wish is to be normal as those around her tease her, saying she'd only be good as a medicine cat. Led by determination, she becomes a warrior apprentice, but struggles to prove her worth. Watch as she grows up from a flawful young cat into a determined leader, with many challenges along the way. (terrible at summary's sorry) Rated T.

Chapter Two

"Catch Echokit!" Berrykit yowled teasingly.

Echokit leapt at the ball of moss but she was too late, it had ran down her spine and landed on the ground. Confused, she landed on the ground with a thump, sending dust flying into the air. Ooft! That hurt!

Berrykit let out a chuckle, "You can't even catch a moss ball!" he scolded.

Echokit staggered to her paws, "that's not my fault!" she hissed.

"Yeah Berrykit, you know not to throw it that hard at her, it's unfair," one of the older kits, Pricklekit meowed.

"Since when are you my mother?" Berrykit spat, "if she can't even catch a moss ball, then she's not a proper warrior."

"I'll be a better warrior than you ever will be!" Echokit lashed her tail in annoyance.

Berrykit rolled his eyes, "Oh please, we can all see that you were made to be a medicine cat."

Echokit flattened her ears, as he eyes began to cloud with sadness, "No I'm not!" she yowled, running away.

Why is he so mean to me? She thought, I can't control that I'm blind in one of my eyes.

Echokit stopped underneath the highledge, where Stonestar adressed the clan.

"Look what you did!" She could hear Pricklekit scolding Berrykit.

Why do I have to have this defect? Please StarClan help me, I want to be a warrior, not a medicine cat.

"Echokit, is that you?" Echokit recognised the voice of Pricklekit behind her, clearly after he'd finished scolding Berrykit, he'd come to look for her.

She turned around, he was sitting about a fox-length away from her, his eyes were warm. "Are you okay?" he asked.

"Not really," she sobbed, "Berrykit teases me all the time and he never listens to Mistyshine and Mudsplash when they tell him off."

"It's okay, you don't have to listen to what he says, every other cat thinks you'll be a fine warrior," Pricklepaw purred.

"Really?" Echokit's heart lifted.

"Of course."

"Then when I'm an apprentice, i'll show Berrykit that I can be a warrior as good as he could ever be," she lifted her chin.

"That's the spirit," Pricklekit meowed.

Not sure whether I love this chapter, but I hope you guys did! Dawnsky will probably have her kits in the next chapter, which may or may not have a big part in the story, you'll have to wait and see ;)
