Hello again people. Here is chapter 1 where we get to meet our main character. If you like it, please review and read on, and if you don't like it, then just don't read on. Anyway, ON WITH THE CHAPTER! (sorry, got a bit too exited.)
Chapter 1
"Wake up Goldkit. Come on little brother, wake up. Wake up!"
"AHH!"
It was sunrise in Thunderclan, one of the four warrior clans, and faint golden streaks of light were sent across the sky, slightly brightening the camp. In the Thunderclan nursery, Goldkit, a small, white furred kit with a splash of golden fur on his chest and amber eyes, had been rudely awoken by his rather large, black furred, emerald eyed brother, Nightkit. He had shot up out of the bedding he was laying in and howled in pain after Nightkit had bit down on his tail hard.
"What was that for?" Goldkit snapped, looking up at his larger brother, the golden fur on his chest bristling and his tail throbbing in pain.
"Come on, don't be like that." his brother replied, "It's time to get up anyway, and you know that if I let you, you'll sleep so long you'll starve!"
"That's not true!" Goldkit growled at his brother.
"It might as well be!" Nightkit said, looking down at his brother, with a confident and somewhat smug look on his face.
It was true that Goldkit liked to sleep, but that was just because the more he slept, the less he would have to put up with his obnoxious brother, though he would never say that to his face.
"So, let's eat before you do starve!" Nightkit teased, pushing forward a dead mouse that he had behind him with his paw. I hope he's not like this when we're apprentices, Goldkit thought.
He and Nightkit crouched down and took a bite of a plump mouse. While they were eating, Goldkit looked up at his brother. Although the two kits were the same age, Nightkit was much bigger than Goldkit was. Nightkit was large, muscularly built, and a born warrior. Goldkit, however, was small, even for a kit, and was one of the smallest kits in the nursery. The only ones who weren't bigger than him were the sisters, Frostkit, a light grey she-kit with green eyes and white fur going from her chin, down to her stomach, and then to the tip of her tail, and Gingerkit, a brown she-kit with blue eyes, who were both one moon younger than Goldkit and Nightkit, and were their best friends. Thinking about his friends, Goldkit looked around and noticed that every other cat in the nursery was still asleep.
When they finished, Nightkit whispered to Goldkit, "Hey, I know that we're going to be apprentices in a moon, but I think it would be great if we went into the forest now!" his brother said, his emerald eyes full of mischief.
"What?" Goldkit whispered back. He didn't know what his brother was up to, but he knew it could only lead to trouble. "You know we're not supposed to leave camp yet!"
"I know, but I just can't wait any longer! Besides, I think it would be good for us if we explored the forest before we become apprentices, just to know our way around a little." he retorted.
"It's only a moon until we become apprentices, that's not too long is it?" Goldkit said, trying to sound convincing.
"I know, but I just can't wait any longer!" Nightkit replied, and started quietly padding off. Then he suddenly turned his head and called quietly, "If you want to come, then you'd better hurry up!"
"He's such a pain in the tail." Goldkit murmured to himself and padded off after him. He knew it was his responsibility to watch his pesky brother when he was up to no good. If I let him go alone, he'll get himself into trouble, or worse, the white kit thought to himself.
He was about to step out of the nursery and go after his brother when he heard a voice come from behind him.
"Just where do you think you're going?" the voice said. Goldkit turned around to see it was Gingerkit who had called to him. The brown-furred she-kit must have seen what had happened.
"Oh, it's just you." Goldkit mewed with a sigh of relief. "I was just about to go after my brother. He's going to get himself into trouble again if I don't do something."
"You're probably right." Gingerkit replied with a hint of uncertainty, "But don't let Mistytail catch you, or both of you will be in trouble." She was right, as usual; they both knew that if his mother found out, she would see to it that he and Nightkit wouldn't become apprentices for another moon, and his brother would complain even more.
"That's a chance I'll have to take," Goldkit said.
"I thought you might say that." Gingerkit meowed. "You go on after Nightkit; I'll make sure you don't get caught."
"Thanks Gingerkit," Goldkit meowed back appreciatively.
"What would you do without me?" She mewed smugly.
And with that, Goldkit stepped out of the nursery to go after his brother.
There you have it, Chapter 1. What will Goldkit and Nightkit encounter? Will they get caught when they get back? Will they even get back? Will this affect their futures in any way? I wouldn't be writing this chapter if it didn't. Please review and read chapter 2. Bye.
P.S. Just to avoid confusion, Gingerkit and Frostkit are not Nightkit's and Goldkit's sisters. They are only each other's sisters, and are in no way related to the two brothers.
