After following her sister, Emberkit would sniff the smelly den. Gross! Herbs. Momma told her the cat in charge of this den was Jayfeather, she wasn't sure who that was but... he must of smelt just as bad if he was dealing with herbs.
After nosing around, she spotted Darkkit making a small hole in the mouse's belly. She had tiny little red berries, and began stuffing the berries into the mouse's stomach. "What are you doin'~?" Emberkit's squeaky tone escaped, and Darkkit whirled around as she struggled for words. "i'm putting happy berries in this piece of prey."
She nodded her head and smiled, cool! Darkkit was so nice doing this for other cats... Emberkit would watch her sister carefully pick up the mouse, and Emberkit would follow her out to the fresh-kill pile. Darkkit and Emberkit would bump into Mousewhisker.
Emberkit would speak up and smile, "Hey! You want Darkkit's mouse?" Mousewhisker semed surprise and nodded his head. "I suppose so, kits yur age shouldn't be eating prey." Darkkit gave a sly smile, and handed over the mouse. The sisters watched Thornclaw settle down with the mouse, taking large bites.
Moments later, Mousewhisker began CHOKING and calling for help. Emberkit felt tears swell in her eyes as Darkkit gave a giggle, and soon Jayfeather came rushing into camp!
"What's going on?!" He demanded to Mousewhisker, who was coughing.
Mousewhisker couldn't reply because he was choking, Jayfeather stole a glance at the mouse he was eating and gasped. "Death berries!" The tom said, and would rush into his den to grab herbs to save his life.
By the time Jayfeather grabbed yarrow, Mousewhisker was dead.
"What happened here?!" Bramblestar came out of his den, glaring at Emberkit and Darkkit.
"I dunno," Darkkit mewed and looked at her purple paws, Emberkit's eyes swelled with sadness as she could barely speak. "Darkkit... offered Mousewhisker her mouse..." She wailed, tail brushing against her back as she gave another desperate wail, her mother rushed to her her children's side.
Bramblestar, now side by side with Squirrelflight would murmur amongst each other. Soon, Berrynose's voice escaped is lips. "Maybe it was... The Dark Forest..."
"Impossible!" Screamed Dovewing, beside her sister.
Bramblestar hushed everyone, sending all cats to bed besides Spiderleg and Thornclaw for guarding duty.
Weaselclaw was asleep, and Darkkit and emberkit were stil wide awake.
"Are you still crying?" Her sister grunted, and she nodded her head weakly. "Your such a baby Emberkit, you should grow up." Emberkit sniffled,a nd nuzzled her mother's ginger fur.
"Those... happy berries didn't make Mousewhisker hapy, he fell asleep!" Emberkit said, holding back her tears as she would look at Darkkit's red glare. "Because I killed him Emberkit! I was told too."
Emberkit gasped! Whyw ould Darkkit kill anyone?! She was ust a kit! Like her!
"I'll tell Bramblestar!" She whispered, her sister gave a giggle.
"He wouldn't believe you."
