Chapter One: The Train Track
The wind stirred the heather tussocks behind us as I, Sherbert, and my brother, Worm, we're standing in front of a railway track. We were playing Truth or Dare, and, Worm said he wanted a dare from me, which is unusual, since it took it ages for Mother to usher him out of the den. A train bolted by on the railway track, and I stared after it. I had dared Worm to cross the railway track. "Go on, brother,just do it!" I grumbled.

Worm hesitated. "I don't know, Sherbert. What if another train comes by?" He said.

"My dear brother! A train just passed by, another one wouldn't come by now, surely?" I replied.

Worm gulped. "Fine! I'll do it just for you, sister!" Worm mewed. As soon as he set his trembling paw on the train track, we heard a loud snarl from behind us.

"Worm! Sherbert! How dare you!" Worm took his paw off the train track and we both spun around. Uh oh... It was Mother and Father! Mother was a calico she-cat with silver dapples down her back which glinted in the sunlight and light amber eyes, Father was a tall and handsome tom with a short and thick black coat and a downward white raindrop shape on his chest and dark blue eyes.

Father glared at us. "Remember when you two tried to jump across the pit? Sherbert, you ripped out one of your claws, and Worm, you broke your leg! And remember when you two were playing chasey in the thickest part of the heather? Sherbert, you nearly poked out your own eye! And Worm tripped and had a nasty fall. And then you two tried to climb the Great Stone Wall, and you BOTH broke your legs! And now what are you two doing now? Crossing the railway track? Well then, what's next? Jump down the gorge?" He said.

"But when we tried to climb the Great Stone Wall, Sherbert practically jumped on a cloud!" Worm said. I was quite grateful for his defense. But I bristled.

"I will cross the railway track and I shall prove it!" I hissed. I spin around and started trotting across the train track. As I was walking past, a train bolted by, but that wasn't my end. I could hear faint screams behind me as I ran away...
