Chapter Six

Echokit watched at the sun rose above the camp, it's weak light shining onto her pelt. I hope Pricklepaw wakes up soon, I really want to hear about the gathering! "Echokit, what are you doing up so early?" Mudsplash meowed from the mouth of the thorn barrier, he was standing beside Redflame and Dappleleaf. "I-i couldn't sleep," she responded.

"Was it cold?" Dappleleaf asked, "I can definetely feel leaf-bare coming on."

Echokit shook her head, "not really, I just wasn't tired."

"We'd better leave, the prey comes out early to find food," Redflame meowed, looking at the dawn sky.

"Good idea, we'll see you later, Echokit!" Mudsplash meowed.

Echokit dipped her head, "goodbye."

I can't wait to be an apprentice, I miss having Pricklepaw in the same den as me and I might finally be able to have some freedom from Berrykit.

"Echokit is that you?" Echokit whipped around to see Pricklepaw standing behind her.

Hawkfeather padded up behind him, "shouldn't you be in your nest?" he asked.

"I couldn't sleep, I wanted to find out about the gathering," her ears pricked with curiosity.

"Well," Pricklepaw started, "nothing much happened, but WindClan accused us of prey stealing."

Echokit tilted her head, "Really?" she meowed, "but we're aren't stealing prey!"

"I know," Pricklepaw rolled his eyes, "they accused RiverClan too."

"What old fleabags, aren't they fat enough from all the rabbits they eat?" Echokit scoffed.

"Apparently not," Hawkfeather meowed, "come on Pricklepaw, I want to quickly work on your hunting crouch so that we can hunt later."

"Alright, goodbye Echokit, i'll speak to you later."

"Bye!" Echokit called out to him as he followed his mentor out of camp.

Ooh WindClan are getting hostile, what's going to happen in the future? I'll make Echokit and Berrykit apprentices in the next chapter.
