Chapter Twenty Six
Echoshine watched with joy as her three kits flicked snow at the two younger kits, Sunkit and Whitekit. The two had been born to Dovefeather and Lionwhisker only a moon ago and often player with Cloudkit, Rosekit and Stormkit. "It sure is a cold day today," Dovefeather meowed.
"I say," agreed Echoshine.
Despite it being leaf-bare, the clan had thrived, prey wasn't a scarce as it usually would be and there were plenty of kits. "Echoshine, where have all the beetles gone?" Rosekit looked around in confusion.
Echoshine let out a purr of amusement, "they don't come out in leaf-bare, you won't see them again until you're apprentices."
"We'll be hunting real prey when we're apprentices though," Cloudkit pointed out.
"Yes, that's right," Echoshine purred, "Beetles sure won't feed the clan."
"I can't wait to be an apprentice!" Stormkit exclaimed.
"You'll be one soon enough," Echoshine assured them.
A very very short chapter, sorry about that! Please review!
