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.

33. Chapter Thirty One

Chapter Thirty One

"So you're deputy now?" Shrewstar growled.

Echoshine puffed out her chest in pride, "Yes Shrewstar, I am."

"Well what better time to kill you."

The brown tabby leapt at her, but she merely dodged, causing him to land onto the muddy forest floor. Swiftly, she turned around and pinned him down, gripping her claws into his chest. "I will not have you hurt another ThunderClan cat!" she growled.

Shrewstar's pupil grew smaller as Echoshine lifted her paw and slashed his belly open. The tom lay still for a few moments, until finally his eyes rolled back into his head and his spirit started to fade away. Finally, my clan and loved ones are safe from that monster. She turned around to find Stonestar standing in front of her, his blue eyes were warm. "Well done Echoshine," he purred, "you've gotten rid of the cat that had caused so much death in ThunderClan for so long and soon you'll be rewarded for your courage."

"What do you mean?" Echoshine tilted her head.

"Only time can answer that," Stonestar meowed in a subtle matter.
