I-Silverkit
'Mouse?' Silverkit thought. 'Did I just scent a mouse?' She opened one eye. Her brothers were batting at a brown fur ball. She wasn't going to let Spottedkit and Amberkit take the tasty prize! She opened her other eye and pounced. She landed on the grey and black patched back of Spottedkit.
"Hey!" He squealed and tried to shake her off. Silverkit hung on tight and stretched her neck, trying to nip at the mouse beneath his paws.
"Ha!" With one swipe, Amberkit had got it beneath his dark grey paws.
"Quit playing with your food, Amberkit!" Their mother, Dovewing scolded as she padded through the nursery entrance. Silverkit tumbled off Spottedkit to see Amberkit look down at his paws, ashamed.
"But mother! We have nothing to do all day." Silverkit complained.
"Well, I'm sure your father would like a little company at some times." Dovewing mewed.
"Or, the elders might like a piece of prey."
"Hey, if we do bring the elders a piece of prey every day, then Bramblestar will notice we've been doing apprentices' jobs, so he might think it's time to make us apprentices!" Amberkit suggested. He dashed out with a flick of his tail. Spottedkit started to follow but Silverkit stayed where she was.
"Mother, can I go see Bumblestripe?" She queered.
"As long as he's not too busy."Dovewing replied. The small silver she-kit padded out into the clearing of the camp. Brakenfur was organizing the sun-high and hunting patrols. Silverkit spotted a grey-furred black-striped shape next to Spiderleg. Silverkit padded forward then shrank into her best leaping crouch. She was aiming at the dark grey thick-furred tail. She got ready, and then-
"Yeow!- Silverkit, please get of my tail!" Bumblestripe screeched.
"Shadowclan was never aloud into Thunderclan territory!" She mewed in her best dangerous voice.
"Oh no, the great Thunderclan warrior got me!" Bumblestipe played along. Spottedkit and Amberkit heard the noise and dashed out of the elders' den to join Silverkit.
"Ha! We've got you!" Spottedkit leaped on Bumblestipe's shoulder. Silverkit climbed onto his back. Amberkit was trying to pounce on his flicking tail. Spottedkit tried to paw at Bumblestripe's ear, but Bumblestripe shook him off. Spiderleg sat a few tail-lengths away, watching with interest. Silverkit was already up to his neck while Amberkit had succeeded in pouncing on his tail.
"Oh, no! I'm failing the battle!" Bumblestripe meowed. He pretended to collapse in defeat.
"Yeah, we won!" Spottedkit meowed triumphantly, still lying down after tumbling of Bumblestripe's shoulder.
"Kits, please leave your father be, for I'm sure he was in the middle of a sentence with Spiderleg." Dovewing murmured. She led her kits back into the nursery. Just when she was about to go in, Cloudtail charged into the Thunderclan camp, his fur ruffled.
"Fox…on our…territory!" He panted. Thornclaw, Cinderheart, and Squirrelflight came in behind him. Cats started to gather around them, Molepelt and Cherrytail were already volunteering to go and check. They had been made Warriors only five sunrises ago, so this might be their first Warrior mission. Bramblestar bounded down from his den into the clearing. Immediately the cats parted. Silverkit sat by Amberkit and watched.
"What happened?" Bramblestar mewed.
"We… met a dead…fox on…our territory…by…the lake. Cloudtail finished, still panting.
"Is it a male or Female?" Bramblestar asked
"Female. We scented milk on her." Cinderheart replied.
"If it's a Female, she might have kits somewhere on our territory too. Brakenfur, organize a searching party at the Ancient Oak and the Clearing. Tomorrow, organize another at the abandoned twoleg nest." He ordered. The cats parted, and Brakenfur started to organize the searching party at the Clearing. Spottedkit padded up to Silverkit.
"Say, if we catch the fox cubs, won't Bramblestar make us apprentices sooner?" Spottedkit mewed.
"I don't think it's a very good idea." Silverkit replied.
"Whatever you think, I'm going with the idea!" Amberkit's amber eyes twinkled excitedly.

Amberkit creeped out of the nursery, trying not to wake his mother. He padded quietly behind a bush. Now, only Leafpool and Sorreltail were out of their nests talking.
"Did you hear, they found the fox cubs right by the ancient oaks!" Sorreltail murmured quietly. Amberkit quickly padded back into the nursery. He hoped Spottedkit would know what to do.
