Slaight 3: Echo's Call

Chapter 11

Echo's pov

I watched as all the clans crowed together, there is a lot of us and this journey seems impossible! I watched the kits run around, they where all from Arrowclan, Daisykit, a white she-kit with amber eyes and her siblings, Firekit, an orange she-kit with yellow eyes, Puddlekit, a light grey she-kit with blue eyes, and Rockkit, a dark grey tom with blue eyes. They ran around with Branchkit and Tumblekit while Darkkit stayed beside Shrewblaze, i watch as the big group of cats began to walk, i sniffed and noticed i was in a group of Arrowclan cats! I was about to send a warning growl before remembering we're all friend on this journey, soon our scents will mend and it will be like the clans never happened. I began to walk side by side with a dark orange tabby kinda like Acornsky but a little lighter, his sky blue eyes looked into my ice ones and he smiled. "Hey there" he meowed, i admired his fur, it was a beautiful orange, reminding me of the brave warrior Gingertail. "Hi, I'm Echocall" i meowed softly. "Im Lakestri-" he was cut off by Marshpatch tackling him happily, some warriors around us chuckled in amuse and others cooed. "Lakestripe! I missed you!" Marshpatch meows, nuzzling far into Lakestripe's fur. "I missed you too little bro" Lakestripe meows, licking Marshpatch over the head when he let him up. "Wait, you two are brothers?" i ask and they nod. "My whole family consists of Slaightstar, Sparkeye, Breezefall, Reedflame, Timberfang, Clovermist, Acornsky, Marshpatch, and Raintail" Lakestripe meows. "Breezefall? He died a log time ago, when i was still young" i meow and Lakestripe's eyes darken. "Breezefall's dead?" i nod sadly as we continued to walk. "Hey, if your Marshpatch's brother then your my kin! I'm Clovermist's daughter" i meow to Lakestripe who smiles brightly. "Really? Marshpatch! You and Raintail got to tell me these things!" he meows playfully. I turn to see four warriors helping to carry Petalface, who was still badly wounded from the foxes, i gave the she-cat a smile and she returns it, hissing in pain as Hazeleyes, the Shineclan medicine cat, Brackenpaw, the Shineclan medicine cat apprentice, and Doveheart, the Smokeclan medicine cat, pushed herbs over her scratches. "Who else do you need to meet? Their's a lot of cats here and one is bound to become best friends with you" Marshpatch meows to me gently, his eyes softly gazed on me, i nod and lick his head. "Come with me?" i ask him with hope, he smiled and nods and we walk off, tails twined together in a kinship way. I watch a thick furred orange tabby jump onto a tree branch, his jumping skills where beyond my believe. He dug his claws into the wood before turning to face forward in the direction we're heading in, his tail is fluffy white his pelt is ragged, his light green eyes scanned the cats for a moment before jumping back down. "That was Embervine" Marshpatch meows as the tom was easily spotted out between the other cats. Embervine is a tall warrior, strong looking too, his tail fur is frayed, sticking out and making it look thicker. I point my tail to an orange tabby with red spots and blue eyes. "Who's that?" Marshpatch looks. "That's Lavafoot, his littermates are somewhere around here" i nod and yawn, my paws starting to hurt as the ground turned from sot marsh to sharp stones. I wince as the kits let out pained meows, i run over and pick up Puddlekit who was picking a stone shard out of her pad. She fell asleep in my jaws as we continued to walk, i eventually handed her back to her mother Ivyfall as we settled down in some bushes to sleep. I smiled as my littermates found me and we curled up to sleep.

I open yawn as i see darkness, i try to stand on my wobbling paws but to my luck, i fall, i whimper and force my eyes open, happy it wasn't bright. I look around to take in my surroundings, i see a lot of cats still asleep, one she-cat curled around her four kits and another curled around one. I turn behind me to be met with the tall figure of a light orange she-cat with extra small tail , her tail barley even covered her paws, the old she-cat slowly opens her eyes and smiled at me. I take in her bright blue eyes and finally noticed how beautiful this she-cat really is, she smiled lovingly at me. "Morning Flintkit" she licks my head and i rub it off with my paw. "Eww Littlepool!" i meow in a high squeaky voice, as i continue to 'get it off' i fall backwards and out of the bush with a yelp. Littlepool looks out with a shocked and panicked face but smiled when seeing i was ok, she comes out and picks me up, putting me down on my paws. "Careful there young one, don't want to be like Tumblekit now do we?" she asks, i tilt my head and ignore her as i began to explore. Littlepool must have decided id be fine sense there's so many cats here because she didn't follow and only went back into the bushes to sleep. As i walk i recognize one tom, a brown tabby with a white fire like patter on his left shoulder and a white patch on his back legs, nose, and right ear, he opens his bright green eyes and smiles at me. "There's my strong son" Timberfang meows. I smile at him as he stretches, i begin to admire his long claws that slipped out as he stretched. "Come on now young one, lets wake the rest and continue our journey" he meows to me, i nod and follow him happily.
