Heart of Gold chapter 1:

Two kits strayed far from the nursery, on a path that leads to the borders to an enemy Clan. If they continued for much longer, they would reach the Thunderpath, and would be exposed to the horrid smells and sights of the monster.

The silver kit's bluish-gray eyes observed with great interest. Ears perked and tail high, he wandered with confidence, leading his littermate further into the thick brush. The kit farther back had a ginger-gold pelt flowing down his body. With amber eyes, he scanned his surroundings, ears back and tail low in fear.

"Silverkit, you know we shouldn't be anywhere else besides the nursery!" mewed the ginger-gold kit, his voice echoed back through the dark, eerie forest alerting all predators of where they were.

Silverkit stopped and turned around. "Goldkit, you can always go home if you'd like. I am going to look around my territory!" Silverkit squeaked ears slightly back. He then turned his attention back to the path ahead and padded a bit faster down it.

Goldkit looked around into the forest, his tail scraped his stomach and his ears lowered until they couldn't anymore. He gulped and looked ahead for his brother, only to see he was far ahead. "Wait for me!" Goldkit squeaked, going as fast as his short, stubby, kit legs could take him.

Silverkit stopped in his tracks and his ears picked up a slight rustle in the leaves behind him. Goldkit finally reached his brother panting, opening his mouth to say something, he was shushed by Silverkit. Both looked into the bush, Goldkit shaking and hiding behind Silverkit.

A flash of cream fur tackled Goldkit to the ground, causing him to yelp in surprise. Silverkit got into a messy attack position, his muscles stiffening. He growled a little, but once he saw what attacked his brother, his muscles loosened. A solid creamed-colored kit with pale green eyes had pinned Goldkit down. The kit smiled and got off Goldkit, but he stayed still shocked. Silverkit padded over and helped his brother back to his feet.

"Silverkit… What just happened?" Goldkit asked innocently.

Silverkit chuckled. "Quietkit just won!" He mewed, and the cream colored kit smiled and walked closer.

Goldkit looked at Quietkit and jumped on her. "How are you so... so quiet!?" He squeaked.

Quietkit smiled, "I have my name for a reason." She whispered in her normal calm tone. In fact, the two brothers had never heard her voice in anything other than a whisper.

Silverkit looked at Quietkit, "How did you find us? And are you alone?" He tried growling but it came out as a hiccup.

Quietkit stood up next to Goldkit. "I followed you when you first left the nursery. Knowing you, Silverkit, you would drag Goldkit into danger. And, yes, I am alone." She mewed quietly as she always did.

Silverkit rolled his eyes and turned around to the path again. "I am going to continue, are you two coming?" He stretched and looked over his shoulder.

Quietkit shrugged and Goldkit looked fearful again. "We should go back, Silverkit." He squeaked.

Quietkit nodded. "It's almost sundown, and Sandstar will start to send warriors after us." she mewed, trying to be convincing.

Silverkit looked back with a sigh. "Fine… let's go…" He groaned and started retracing his steps back to the ThunderClan camp.

After a while, Silverkit reached camp, Quietkit and Goldkit in tow. They snuck back into the nursery through the little patch that was missing its brambles.

"There you three are!" wailed Blizzardcloud, a pure white queen. Quietkit looked up and walked past her to her mother, Swiftfeather. Blizzardcloud let the two brothers go to their mother and went to her own kits, Snowkit and Frostkit.

Goldkit saw his mother, Greypelt, and started to get worried that she would be mad. Silverkit glanced at Goldkit's expression and nudged him. "Don't worry Goldkit." He whispered, then trotted up to Greypelt, Goldkit following slightly slower.

When Greypelt saw her kits, she smiled and wrapped her tail around them, purring soothingly. Goldkit expected to be lectured, but this surprised him. Silverkit smiled and looked up at his mother.

"Where were you two?" Greypelt meowed and started grooming Goldkit.

"We were patrolling our territory like real apprentices." Silverkit squeaked, smiling.

Greypelt looked at him and stopped grooming Goldkit, making him whimper. Greypelt sighed and continued grooming Goldkit.

Silverkit saw this and looked at his mother. "Don't worry, the most danger we ran into was Quietkit almost giving us a heart attack!" Goldkit squeaked, supporting Silverkit.

Greypelt smiled and chuckled as she finished grooming Goldkit and put him near her stomach where he curled up and began to fall asleep.

Silverkit looked at his brother, then back at Greypelt. "I was a strong leader, Mother, Goldkit was like my deputy! And Quietkit… She was like our… Umm…. stealth cat?" He looked confused and heard Quietkit's giggle from across the nursery.

Greypelt smiled. "Of course, that makes perfect sense." She muttered and began grooming him.

Silverkit saw Snowkit and looked confused at her. "Has Snowkit opened her eyes yet? How is Frostkit?" He asked.

Greypelt thought then spoke gracefully. "No, Silverkit, Snowkit was born just two sunrises ago. She won't for a while, and Frostkit is the same." She meowed.

Silverkit nodded. "Did Sandstar find out that we left?" He mewed.

Greypelt smiled. "I don't think so... You are filled with questions today, what's going on?" She meowed.

Silverkit shrugged. "I want to know this stuff so when I am an apprentice I am ahead!" He mewed.

Greypelt smiled and finished grooming Silverkit. She then put him near Goldkit and he closed his eyes, falling asleep. Silverkit began shifting in his sleep due to a nightmare.

Silverkit ran further into the ThunderClan territory when many cats, from each Clan were running away from something. Or someone. As they ran, Silverkit saw Greypelt and his father, Gingerfang. But there was no sign of Quietkit, nor of Goldkit. Then, Silverkit heard a yowl, more of a leader yowl and looked to see Sandstar sprinting away just like everyone else.

Silverkit jolted awake with a yelp and saw that Sandstar had yowled for an announcement. Nothing else. He sighed. Everyone else was asleep. He smiled a little, then he heard something that changed his life.

"All cats who can catch their own prey, gather before me." Sandstar announced to his Clan.
