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 Thirty

Echoshine pounced onto a small thrush, killing it with a single blow to the neck. A freezing cold breeze shot past her quickly, causing her pelt to ruffle up.

That's funny, it's greenleaf but that breeze was so cold. She shook it from her mind and padded back into camp, to find worried cats crouded around the highledge. What's this about? She dropped her thrush on the fresh kill pile and pushed her way to the front of the crowd, they were surrounding the body of the deputy, Emberstep. "What happened?" she asked Foxnose, who was standing beside her.

"No cat knows, he was just sitting here, eating that rabbit when he just fell limp to the ground," Foxnose meowed.

"That sounds horrible!" Echoshine exclaimed.

"It was." the tortoiseshell stil seemed shocked.

"Look at the rabbit!" a cat called out, "it's half blind!"

Sagefeather examined the rabbit for a few moments, "it's an omen," she announced, "Echoshine should be the new deputy!"

What? Mixed emotions of shock and excitement pounded at Echoshine's chest. "I agree," Thrushpaw meowed.

The rest of the clan joined in, "Echoshine! Echoshine!" they chanted.

Mudstar leapt onto the highledge, "From this moment on Echoshine will be the deputy of ThunderClan, I wish that Emberstep hears and approve of my choice!"

Echoshine puffed out her chest in pride, "Thank you all for this oppurtunity, I promise to protect and serve you all as your deputy."

"Echoshine! Echoshine!" Echoshine gazed around to see that even her brother, Berryfoot was cheering for her.

I'm one step ahead Shrewstar, try to beat me now.
