Here are the plushies! *Passes out the Leopardkit and Stonekit plushies* And here's the next chapter:
Sorrelkit stared up at Darkstripe.
He had been speaking with Blackfoot, a ShadowClan warrior!
Why?
"Dear little Sorrelkit, what are you doing out of camp?" cooed Darkstripe, though Sorrelkit could see in his eyes that he was not happy.
"I... Why were you talking with that ShadowClan cat?" Sorrelkit mewed.
Darkstripe's eyes flashed with panic, then he relaxed.
"No, no. I was only warning him to stay out of our territory." the warrior explained.
"But you said-" Sorrelkit began to speak, but Darkstripe cut in gently.
"Here, for be such a wonderful kit, I have a special treat for you." Darkstripe said, flicking his tail.
Sorrelkit pricked her ears.
She liked the sound of a "special treat" and she waited eagerly for Darkstripe to return with a bundle of red berries.
"Ooh! What are these?" Sorrelkit asked curiously, pawing at the berries.
"Um... special berries. They are yummy!" Darkstripe insisted.
"I never seen these before." Sorrelkit murmured.
"That's because, er, their special." Darkstripe twitched his whiskers anxiously.
"Ooh..." Sorrelkit breathed, staring at the lovely red treats.
Darkstripe watched carefully as Sorrelkit sinffed the berries, and rolled them over in her paw.
"Eat them. They're good." Darkstripe spoke softly.
Sorrelkit hesitated.
These berries looked good... but they reminded her of something Cinderpelt had discribed never to eat.
Yet, these berries were a treat from Darkstripe.
And Sorrelkit loved treats.
"Well? Aren't you going to eat them?" Darkstripe asked, edge to his voice.
"Um..." Sorrelkit looked up at the dark warrior.
He seemed eager for Sorrelkit to eat them, so it must be okay.
Sorrelkit gulped, then licked up one of the berries.
It crunched between her teeth.
There was a sudden pain on Sorrelkit's tongue.
Like a burning feeling.
But not hot.
"Ow, ow!" Sorrelkit tried gulping down the stinging berries.
They hurt, they hurt!
"Darkstripe-" she mewed in pain.
But the warrior only shoved more berries into Sorrelkit's mouth.
The burning feeling hurt so badly.
Sorrelkit gasped for air.
"Help!" she cried.
The next moments were a daze.
Cinderpelt was there one moment, then Sorrelkit was in camp, then she was drifting off to sleep.
The burning pain throbbed at Sorrelkit's throat.
She felt the pressure of death upon her.
Death... Death berries!
The name rang in Sorrelkit's ears.
Those red sweet-looking berries had been death berries...
Was Sorrelkit going to die?
But she had to tell the clan about Darkstripe and Blackfoot.
She had to!
Or was it too late?
Was death too close for Sorrelkit to fight back?
Oooh! Sorrelkit was cute in this chapter. Hee hee. Everyone who is kind enough to review get a Sorrelkit plushie! Wooh! Next up is..... dun, dun, dun.... Tiny!!!! (Scourge) Yay for evil cats becoming cute and harmless kittens!
