"Silverkit!" Someone called. Silverkit turned her head towards the sound, but couldn't see where it came from. That wasn't her priority right now, though.
"Now, at least we're back inside the clearing."Nightwhisker sighed.
"But I really have to talk this out with you, and I will tell Stormlily about this later."He explained to Silverkit. Silverkit braced herself for Nightwhisker telling her off, but the yelling never came. "Why did you go out there? Didn't Stormlily tell you that you can't go outside the clearing yet unless you are accompanied by a warrior?" He asked calmly. Silverkit saw her chance to get away without the blame and nodded. "But I thought I saw you entering the clearing, and then just leave. I thought you forgot that you promised to tell some stories... So I went out there to remind you."The lie rolled of Silverkits toungue smoothly. "But clearly, it wasn't you. Maybe it was a leaf or something. I'm sorry..." Silverkit meowed. She was suprised that they hadn't yelled at her, when she has been close to that red berry they had been in a complete panic.
Though, when she told them that she hadn't touched it, they seemed to recover. Rainpaw looked at her with empathy. "You didn't mean to do it, and every cat makes mistakes." Nightwhisker nodded at the words. "Yes, the most important thing is that you are okay." He told her. Silverkit got a slight weight in her chest when Rainpaw believed her so easily, but she tried to ignore it. She stretched her claws down into the earth, she wouldn't get lost or anything. Why did they have to be so worried? "I wouldn't have been completely defenseless! If some cat tried to enter our territory I would have scared them off. Like this!" Silverkit fluffed up her pelt, and tried to leap forward as she had seen one of the warriors do in the clearing before. She accidentally stepped on Rainpaws tail in the process. "The foxes should be careful of their tails." Rainpaw purres, his eyes glistening with amusement.
Silverkits pelt grew hot in embarrassment. "I'd claw them of then!" She exclaimed. Nightwhisker silenced them with his tail. "Foxes aren't usually seen this time around, and the the other clans would be busy taking advantage of the new-leaf thats coming closer. But that's not the danger. That berry that was in front of you. Do you know the name of it?" Nightwhisker asked with a tone of seriousness in his voice. Silverkit shaked her head. Why was that important? "They are called death-berries." He began. Silverkit warmth from a moment ago was lost in a second, and even though the sun was shining she felt like she had gone swimming in the winter water. Deathberries?! "Only medicine cats learn the names of the herbs, but most cats know to avoid the deathberry. Only eating a bit of it could kill you, especially since you are a kit. Thankfully, you didn't touch it, but you should go see the medicine cat just in case." He explained.
"I'll have to tell Stormlily what happened, so Rainpaw will acompany you." He told them, before turning away and padded towards the nursery. Rainpaw put his tail to her shoulder. "Don't be too worried, this is just in case." He assured her. Silverkit didn't answer, but followed Rainpaw numbly.
Herbs could kill a cat easier than claws! And I wouldn't even have had a chance to fight back... She shuddered.
