"Okay Dewpaw, I'm leaving for the Moonpool now, ask Leafpool if you need help with anything." Jayfeather meowed.

"Okay Jayfeather!" Dewpaw said cheerfully, his eyes brimming with excitement. This was the first time Jayfeather had left him alone at camp to tend to sick cats, the first time his mentor had trusted him with anything.

"And don't mess anything up!" The blind tabby tom yelled back at him as he left the camp.

"Don't worry, I won't! Dewpaw reassured him, heading back into the medicine-cat's den. Noticing that there was herbs that had been knocked over, he started putting them back in there places.

Soon after he had started cleaning, Foxleap walked in. "Hey Dewpaw, where's Jayfeather?" he asked.

"He went to the Moonpool. So, um, what brings you here?" Dewpaw meowed.

"I've been coughing and wheezing a lot, do you think there's something wrong?" Foxleap questioned.

"Um, I don't think so, it's probably just because of the cold weather lately. But I can get you something to help with the coughing and wheezing." Dewpaw suggested.

"Alright then." The orange warrior agreed. Dewpaw racked his memory. What had Jayfeather said to give to cats who had trouble breathing? Some sort of berry… Juniper berries! That's it!

Dewpaw looked in the place where Jayfeather kept the juniper berries. Mousedung! We're out! He turned back to Foxleap.

"Hold on Foxleap, we're out. I'll just go collect some. It won't be long!" Dewpaw meowed, racing out into the forest .

Let's see, Jayfeather said that there is a big patch of juniper by the stream. Soon enough, Dewpaw had arrived at the stream that bordered WindClan.

Where's that bush… Aha! Dewpaw ran over to a bush with bright red berries. He picked a few and ran back to camp.

Foxleap stood up when he saw the apprentice come back. "There you are! What took you so long?" he asked.

Dewpaw placed the berries in front of Foxleap. "I had trouble finding the bush." He explained. "Here, eat two of these. Foxleap quickly swallowed two of them.

"Thanks Dew-" Foxleap was interrupted when he fell to the ground.

"Foxleap, are you okay?" Dewpaw asked. Foxleap didn't reply. He was shaking and his eyes were rolled back into his head.

Dewpaw started to panic. I have to get Leafpool! He realized. He ran over to where she was sitting with Squirrelflight.

"Leafpool, help! I gave Foxleap some juniper berries and now he's all sick!" Dewpaw pleaded. Leafpool looked up.

"How sick?" she asked urgently.

"Really sick!" he told her. Leafpool leaped to her paws and ran with Dewpaw back to the medicine-cat's den.

Foxleap was now writhing on the ground. "What did you say you gave him again? She asked.

"Juniper berries." He meowed.

"Juniper berries shouldn't do this! What color were they?" Leafpool demanded.

"Red."

"Bright red?"

Dewpaw nodded.

Leafpool's eyes filled with horror. "You idiot! Those were probably deathberries! Quick, get some yarrow!" she shouted.

Dewpaw realized his horrible mistake. Then he quickly got some yarrow and gave it to Leafpool.

Leafpool chewed it up and then forced it down Foxleap's throat. A moment later, he vomited. "Good, I think we got all the deathberries out." She meowed. Dewpaw could tell she was relieved.

"Is Foxleap going to be okay?" Dewpaw asked.

Leafpool looked at Dewpaw. "He'll live, but I don't know how long it will take for him to recover. Help me get all the remaining berries out of his mouth." She told him.

Dewpaw helped her scrape off the half-chewed berry from his teeth. He was relieved that his mistake hadn't killed Foxleap.

Leafpool sighed. "I think we got it all. I'll get Icecloud, she'll want to know about this." She said. Dewpaw gulped. Icecloud wasn't going to be happy about this.

"He fed him what?" Dewpaw could hear Icecloud's screech from across the clearing and braced himself. Icecloud ran into the medicine-cat's den. "Dewpaw, you mousebrained idiot! That could of killed him!" she shouted.

"I'm sorry." Dewpaw whimpered.

Icecloud narrowed her eyes. "Hmph. You better be. She growled. "Where's Foxleap?"

"He is over there." Dewpaw used his tail to point to where Foxleap was laying.

Icecloud walked over to him. You alright, Foxleap?" she asked quietly. "Foxleap?" she shook him gently. She turned to Dewpaw. "Why isn't he waking up?"

"He's unconscious. Give him a while." He replied. Icecloud stared at him before reluctantly walking out of the medicine cat's den.

"I'll be back later." she meowed. Dewpaw let out a sigh of relief. It was all over, and Foxleap was mostly okay. He felt Leafpool's presence next to him.

"I think you should avoid treating cats for a while." She told him. Dewpaw silently agreed. I don't want anything like this happening again.

"Jayfeather would think so too." Leafpool added.

Dewpaw froze. If Icecloud was mad… One thought raced through his mind.

Jayfeather is going to be furious.
