"Hurry up, Honeykit!"
"I'm coming, Foxkit! Just calm down. I don't know if we should do this," I said nervously.
"Scaredy mouse, scaredy mouse!" Goldenkit cheered. "All you have to do is run in then out. We'll go in right after you. If you don't learn how to take risks, you'll never be a good warrior. Besides, it's just the warriors den, for Starclan's sake!"
I growled at them and brought myself to my feet. I'll show you that I can be a good warrior! I ran through the brambles, my tiny paws trembling. Hey, I thought, this is a nice den. It's way better than the crowded nursery. I had made it nearly 3 tail-lengths in, when I bumped into something big and furry. Oh no! A warrior!
"Honeykit? What are you doing in here?" I looked up to see Lionclaw, probably the fiercest and meanest warriors ThunderClan had. He was also one of the bravest, but to me, he was scary. He looked down at me, mouth curled into a snarl, amber eyes glowing in the dimly lit den. "I said 'what are you doing here?'!"
I looked down at my paws, shifting uncomfortably from side to side. "I-I… Foxkit and Goldenkit told me I could never be a real warrior if I couldn't take risks! I'm sorry, Lionclaw. I didn't think I would get in so much trouble…"
"Well, that doesn't mean that you can go strutting through camp like you're clan leader! You should be"- The golden tom was interrupted by a sweet, loving voice.
"Lionclaw, she is just an innocent kit! Don't get your whiskers in a knot, she meant no harm." It was Rainpetal, the blue-gray ThunderClan medicine cat. I had seen her shuffling throughout camp, and she had been in the nursery for the past few days, watching over the newly-born kits named Silverkit, who had silver fur; Bluekit, who had blue-gray fur and a reddish tail; Waterkit, who was a darker shade than Bluekit; and Mistykit, who had light gray fur. They were only a quatermoon old, and were already getting rowdy in the nursery. Rainpetal turned to the entrance and flicked her tail at me to follow her out. I walked out, aware that Lionclaw held a hard glare on me. When we stepped out, I heard Foxkit and Goldenkit whispering to each other.
"Honeykit!" Foxkit cheered. "What happened? I bet you got in trouble. Did you?"
I narrowed my eyes at him. "Yes," I snarled. I crouched down and pounced in him. He tumbled and I wrestled him. Then Goldenkit leaped on me and tackled me to the ground. She sat on me, and I tried to push her of, but I couldn't. I squirmed around, but she wouldn't budge. I saw Rainpetal walk off towards the nursery.
"Okay, you can get off of her now," Foxkit said. Goldenkit rolled off of me.
"They did what?!" I whirled around to see Brightstripe storming out of the nursery. I stiffened, and saw Foxkit hide behind Goldenkit. "You kits have caused so much trouble! Sneaking into the warriors den? Really? You are setting a terrible example for Snowtail's kits. You are going to be refined to the nursery for the next quatermoon, as your punishment. Starting today. Now go to the nursery. No complaints!" We pouted and went to the nursery.
