Echowhisper on a walk

[Flamey]

Blazekit continued to hiss, unsheathing his claws as a warning. He did not recognize Echowhisper's scent, but it was very familiar. The last time he had seen his mother, he had been too young to remember. Stay back. I'm warning you." he growled. He was almost old enough to be an apprentice, therefore he knew the importance of defending their territory. But then his violence turned into a look of confusion at the she-cat's words. "What do you mean?" he said, sheating his claws once again and letting the fur on his neck lie flat again, for he was curious to hear what she had to say.

[Jaysong :D]

Well,no turning back now,thought Echowhisper."I'm your mother,and your father,as you know is Flamepelt,"she began."We met each other a while ago and then I had you and your two sisters,Mintkit and Amberkit,who live with me in Fernclan."As she told him,she hoped he would believe her.
OOC:sorry so short ><

[Flamey]

"...What?" Blazekit said out of pure disbelief. Come to think of it, the she-cat who cared for him didn't seem at all to have any love or care in the world for him, not like this she-cat he saw before him. If what this she-cat was saying was true, then he had a lot of questions. Why would his father lie to him? Why did they separate him from his sisters? And most of all, how could they have kits if they were from different clans? By then he felt numb and unwilling to accept that he was a half clan cat. "Can I see them...? My sisters I mean." his voice trailed off, realizing the oddness of the question, but if everything she said was true, what did he have to lose?

[Jaysong :D]

"Well...umm...,"Echowhisper studdered."Well...okay,have your father bring you to meet me and your sisters at the border tomorrow at moon high.If your father can't come,don't come at all because it's too dangerous for you to come back here alone."Echowhisper felt she would probably regret this desicion,but who could deny a kit from seeing his litter mates?At least the next time she would have Flamepelt to help her out.Light shinning through the small clearing made her look at the sky.The sun was rising."We need to get home,"she meowed to her son."Make sure you roll in some leaves or something on your way home to hide my scent.And remember,do not tell ANYONE that you came here or that you met your mother.The only cat you can tell is Flamepelt,and make positively sure that no one can hear you.Do you understand?"Echowhisper hated to have to take a stern tone with him,but she had to be sure he got this into his head.Standing there in front of her kit,a sudden thought hit her.They couldn't keep this a secret forever.How long could they keep this up?

[Flamey]

Blazekit simply nodded, feeling completely numb from the inside out. Telling a kit who was on the verge of becoming an apprentice that you were his mother didn't exactly do wonders for him. He left without a goodbye, rolling on some dried leaves on the ground halfway back to the camp. The guard at the entrance to the den was asleep, and he slipped by without any trouble, making his way to the nursery and lying down at a corner. After a few moments, his breathing turned long and even, and he fell into a deep sleep, dreaming of nothing but blackness.

The next day Blazekit sat at the entrance to the nursery, watching warriors come and go in the camp. He watched, and waited, for the whole day, even after nightfall. The queens in the nursery urged him to go see the medicine cat, thinking something was wrong with him. But he refused, and continued waiting. Finally, when everyone else was asleep, he saw his father slip out of the den and out of the camp. He waited a few moments before following him.

Flamepelt arrived at the border, once again feeling the happy fluttering of his heart in his chest at the thought of seing Echowhisper again, so happy in fact, that he did not notice Blazekit hiding in the bushes a few paces away.

[Jaysong :D]

Echowhisper had finally arrived at the border.Once she had finally roused her kits from their sleep,they remembered they were going to meet there brother and father.Of course,they were excited to see them,so they sprinted through the camp entrance and barrled in every direction.They had wanted to sniff anlmost every plant from the camp to the border since it was their first time out of camp.Echowhisper remembered their surprise."We have a brother?"they had mewed in surprise."Infinitystrike isn't our daddy?"It kind of made Echowhisper feel sad to realize how different her kits' world would be from now on.Full of the same secrets and lies she lived in.Echowhisper shouldn't have told them.Bringing herself back to reality,the black she-cat told her daughters to wait a few moments behind the bushes,and pushed herself through them.Flamepelt was standing there waiting for her,but he was alone.Where is Blazekit,wondered Echowhisper.Then she smelled her son's scent in the air and saw his eyes gleaming from a bush.Echowhisper suddenly realized what was going on."Blazekit!You didn't tell him?"She was positive she had made it clear that Flamepelt was supposed to be informed of this!Echowhisper motioned for all three of her kits to come out of their hiding places.Mintkit and Amberkit stood by their mother in confusion.

[Flamey]

Flamepelt's head tilted to the side when he saw their kits. He was about to ask what was going on when Echowhisper spoke. Thats when he asked. "Whats going on?".

Blazekit shyly stepped out of his hiding place and approached the other two kits cautiously. "I wanted to see if it was really true....." his voice trailed off, unsure what to say. "Are you Mintkit and Amberkit?" he asked, turning his attention to the two other kits.

[Jaysong :D]

"Yup!"mewed Mintkit excitedly,while her sister smiled shyly at her brother."I guess you must be Blazekit,"she asked,though she knew the answer.Her brother didn't look much like her mother,but he was almost an identical copy of the large ginger tom which stood beside him,the only difference being Blazekit's eyes,similar to that of Echowhisper."Are you Flamepelt?"she asked the large tom that must be her father.

Echowhisper shook her head."Blazekit,when I said go with your father,I meant tell him you were coming along,not sneek out after him,"she scolded gently.Turning to Flamepelt,she told him the story of how this how this had all started."And so,I told him that I would let him meet his sisters."she finished.Now that Flamepelt knew the story,she hoped he wouldn't be angry with her.

[Flamey]

Flamepelt listened to the story with undivided attention, partially to know Blazingkit's story, and partly to just hear Echowhisper's voice again. He supposed that it was only normal to get even slightly irritated, but he wasn't, because at least their kits would't grow up completely on lies. "I supposed there's nothing we can do about it now." he purred with amusement. "Yes, I'm Flamepelt. You must be Mintkit." he said, looking closely at her for the first time. She was completely adorable. But of course, this thought was typical when a father described his kits. " Now listen, you must never tell anyone about this, ever." his tone growing more serious.

[Jaysong :D]

"We know!"Mintkit replied."Mommy already told us!" For the first time on their way there,Mintkit thought about Infinitystrike.The cat she had thought of as her father since she was able to see wasn't related to her at all.That was when Mintkit mad a desision.She wouldn't tell her "father" that she knew he wasn't really her dad.She would just keep it a secret that she knew about Flamepelt.For now,she would continue to let Infinitystrike beleive she didn't know Flamepelt was her real dad.

Echowhisper couldn't help a sigh of relief.He wasn't angry with her."I missed you,"she purred and twined her tail with Flamepelt's."What would I do with out you?"Mintkit and Amberkit were now over next to their their brother now,talking exctitedly.Echowhisper listened in,intrested in what went through a kit's mind.They talked about what their home was like.

[Flamey]

Flamepelt purred back and tightened his tail around hers. He felt warmth surge through him from his tail to the rest of his body. He rubbed his cheek against hers. "Maybe you would have ended up with that other cat. Infinitystrike was it?" he chuckled. Honestly, he couldn't imagine a life without her, and his life before her seemed like a distant memory.

"Almost everything in BlazeClan is covered with plants. It gets kind of boring after a while." Blazekit said, without much enthusiasm.

[Jaysong :D]

"I guess so,"Echowhisper replied.That would've been different.Then,Blazekit,Mintkit,and Amberkit wouldn't exist.That was to terrible to think about."We're there any she-cats that you..you know...liked before you met me?"she asked with a little embarassment.
"Fernclan probably has even more leaves than Blazeclan!"she said enthusiasticly."And our camp is big and cozy and warm,and we have big strong warriors,and the nursery is warm and smells good,and..and.."Mintkit loved discribing her home to Blazekit.
OOC:Are we going to start having them be leaders next time?

[Flamey]

Flamepelt remained quiet. Painful memories washed into his mind. He remembered the she-cat he had met not too long ago. She was also from a different clan. She was also one of the most beautiful she-cats he had ever seen. But alas, for some reason, she'd stop seeing him, and he'd never heard from her since. Even thinking about her made him hurt. But now, at least, he had Echowhisper to fill the gap in his heart. " No." he lied, keeping his voice as flat and emotionless as possible.

Blazekit listened intently as his sister described FernClan territory. FernClan sounded much more exciting than Blazeclan. He yawned, without noticing, and felt his eyes drooping. thats when he noticed that the sun was starting to come up.


ooc: I guess so. Mebe we can finish this thread, then make a new one about.. I dunno xD anywayz, you can make a ceremony in FernClan and make Mintkit and Amberkit apprentices. Im gunna go make one in BlazeClan for Blazingkit.

[Jaysong :D]

OOC:Ya sounds good I'll finish off this thread,then you can start a new one wherever! I'll be kinda sad to see this thread go...hehehe. As for the ceremony,I'll get right on that! Oh and i didnt see if you posted in this thread or not,but i started a gathering cuz idk feathy said i could lol.

IC: Echowhisper heard something strange in his voice,but she decided to just leave it."Okay."she replied. She nuzzled him and mewed,"I can't even remember what it was like before you.You and our kits are all that matters in my life

"I bet we'll become apprentices soon!"Mintkit exclaimed."If we become apprentices soon enough,maybe we'll see you at the gathering!" She certainly hoped so.Next to her sister,he would be the only cat she knew there.That was,asuming they were going."What do you think it will be like being an apprentice?"
