Chapter Eighteen
"Duck, now spin!" Darkclaw called out.
Echopaw slashed at the ears of a ginger she-cat named Maplefoot, whom she often practiced her battle moves against. "Good, you can stop now," Darkclaw purred, "Echopaw the moves I've taught you have really started to become more noticeable, has your hunting been better?"
Echopaw nodded, "I always beat Berrypaw in battle training now, his reactions are always priceless!" she purred.
"Well I'm glad," Darkclaw purred, "You'll be earning your warrior name soon."
"Dappleleaf said I can have my assessment in two moons if I keep up the good work."
Echopaw had been training as an apprentice for three moons now and was getting better and better at everything she did by the day, making most of the clan surprised. "You'd better go now, the sun has started to rise," Darkclaw told her.
"Goodbye!" Echopaw meowed as she felt herself jolt awake.
Around her, the newly made apprentice, Wishpaw and Brindlepaw had already awoken and clearly started their early training. "Good morning Echopaw," Pricklepaw yawned as he lifted himself from his nest, "How was your night?"
"Good," Echopaw purred.
"Did you have a good dream? you seem happy." Pricklepaw flicked his tail with curiosity.
"No, I just slept well," she lied.
"Okay, well I'm going to go now." Pricklepaw padded out of the den.
"Goodbye Pricklepaw, have fun today!" she called out cheerfully.
