"The leaders den?" squeaked Goldenkit.
"Yeah, Oddkit's not gonna look there first! And Firestar is soaking up some sun!" exclaimed Hailkit her amber orbs shining with excitement, bouncing towards her leaders den with her golden friend running after her when the two she-kits reached the leaders den they both stood in awe wondering why he gets a bigger den and why not the other cats. The brown tabby walked over to the patch of moss that laid in the middle of the gloomy den, once her white paws made contact with the warm moss she jumped back out of shock about how warm it felt and in the process she tumbled over Goldenkit who was following her friend's lead. Pushing a golden paw out of her face Hailkit stood up trying not to look embarrass in front of the amber eyed she-kit, brushing herself off Hailkit's eyes wandered the den wondering why she couldn't have a den like this to herself she wouldn't have to share the nursery with the other kits such as Lionkit, Jaykit and Hollykit now it's not that she dislikes them it's just that their older than her and not to mention faster than she was or ever be…
Oddkit opened his green eyes with delight dancing in them, turning his head back and forth as he searched for his sister and clan mate but he couldn't find them not even a single sniff of where they wandered off to, his eyes began to scan all the possible areas in which the two would hid. His eyes landed on the clan deputy, Brambleclaw, he seemed large enough to hide to small kits, the elders den could be where they were although Mousefur didn't enjoy it when they came scrambling in trying to find a place to hide. There was the warriors den…no they couldn't be in there considering that they weren't allowed to go in there along with the apprentice den…maybe the medicine cat den? No to simple and easy to find them due to Goldenkit's fur. There was one place where the two would hide yet he checked that spot already…his eyes brightened at his new idea. They were in the leaders den! Running in a furious pace to the den he didn't seem to notice a certain warrior following his every movement…
Hailkit sat in the very far corner of the den with Goldenkit who was pressed up against her brown tabby fur and if she didn't have any fur then she would be blushing like a mad dog, hearing running paws heading their direction the amber orbed she-cat told the golden tabby to crouch so they wouldn't be spotted by the cat who was entering the den. The cat didn't do a good job of staying quite because the minute they entered the den they began panting, puffing out their chest. "Goldenkit! Hailkit! I found you!" they declared and a loud sign was heard from the right hand corner.
"Yeah, yeah…'' the brown tabby mumbled suddenly taking interest in their pure white paws whiles Goldenkit skipped over to Oddkit telling him that he did a good job on tracking them down, while the tom was too busy being overwhelmed by Goldenkit's praises and as Hailkit was still grumbling things such as 'mouse-brain' or 'bee brain' under her breath due to the fact that she didn't like it when the golden tabby paid attention to her older littermate at times, all three of them failed to notice a new figure appear at the entrance with amusement flashing through their hybrid eyes, their white pelt seemed to fade as they stepped into the den that almost didn't carry any sunlight what so ever.
"I also think that you did a fantastic job on finding them Oddkit! And Hailkit don't look so gloomy there's always next time!" the white warrior said in a warm soft tone that made the kits yelp in surprise.
"Snowstripe!" shouted Hailkit in a joyful tone as she ran over to the senior warrior who had a visible smile planted on his white face, she didn't know why she favored Snowstripe but all she knew that she wanted him as her mentor when she became a 'paw' casting he glance at the small she-kit he beckoned her and the two kits behind her out of the den probably so that they won't get into some sort of trouble later on in the day. Snowstripe began walking them back to the nursery, much to Hailkit's disappointment, they then explained why they were hiding out in Firestar's den and a soft laugh came from his lips.
Somehow he was sitting in front of the kits as they began discussing their apprentice ceremony but the hybrid eyed warrior told them gently that's it's not for another moon or so making Oddkit pout at his words. She heard a few tales from one of the elders, Smokeymask, who was once a warrior but retired due to their smell failing…she remembered when her and Larkkit, one of Brambleclaw's kits not to mention the runt of the litter, visited the elder's den wanting to hear another story from the gray tom and they both requested a tale on how Smokeymask lost all smell in his nostrils the amber eyed tom told him that when he was a young warrior he fought alongside Firestar in the battle of BloodClan and during the battle a rouge from the enemy clan slashed at his nose and he must've done it harder than it seemed because they minute he spotted blood dripping down from his gray nose and not being able to scent it he knew that something was terribly wrong. But anyway they informed her that Snowstripe wasn't always calm in fact he was a hot headed tom who would love nothing more to get into a fight with another warrior from his clan or a different clan.
That's how some of the older warriors described Hailkit, hot headed and not thinking straight, they just didn't understand what it's like to be a kit with two parents who refuse to pay attention to her ever since those flea-bags were brought into the world, Goldenkit's mother was the only one who took notice into the kit besides Daisy, at times the small kit wished that Sunnygaze was her mother not Ferncloud.
Yet she knew not to be so ungrateful to her birth mother since she gave birth to Hailkit and raised both her and Oddkit, to be honest she always wondered why her mother named her brother that to her it was mean to say that he was odd…maybe their mother didn't want them and that's why she doesn't gave them the attention a growing kit needs and it looked like Snowstripe stepped up to be a father figure to her and Oddkit. Dustpelt scolded the two nonstop especially Hailkit making her wonder why, what did she do wrong? Was it because she was born? Sunnygaze told her that they just had a lot of things on their mind so that's why their being big grumps. But, Hailkit didn't seem to process the queen's words because she knew that she were a total mistake and that would never change…
It was around sunhigh when Snowstripe left them for portal, the brown tabby found herself sitting inside the nursery with Larkkit whose legs were hurting from running around with her older littermates, Larkkit had light cream colored fur with brown paws and she had an odd shade from blue eyes. Resting her head on her friend's body letting out a mellow sign causing the cream colored she-kit to stir around in her spot trying to see what was wrong with her den mate.
"What's wrong?" questioned Larkkit as she stopped moving around so she wouldn't make Hailkit's head fall off her back.
"Why do we have to share a den with Foxkit and Icekit? It's not like the queens would miss us since they take so much interest in the little bundles of joy!" hissed Hailkit with thoughts storming in her mind.
"Of course they would! Daisy and Sunnygaze along with Ferncloud!" came Larkkit's voice slightly shocked that the amber eyed she-kit would say such things.
"They would but Ferncloud wouldn't notice me missing until those two runts become warriors!" replied the petite cat who's blue eyes were filled with surprise and worry, it was highly shocking that Larkkit nor Goldenkit weren't related in the slightest detail due to the fact that they were always worried about Hailkit ever since she fell into one of the thorn bushes near the warriors den, rolling her eyes the brown tabby began standing up letting out a yawn and was about to say something when a cat broke into camp yelling and the only words she caught was 'fox' and already she had an idea in her head…
