Don't Touch It!

[Nightstar]

Nightstar ran back into the camp, leaping onto the Highledge, and panting from the pace she had been going at. "Le-let all cats who are old enough to catch their own prey join here beneath the Highlege for a Clan meeting!" she yowled, her breath faltering at first.

She then addressed the Clan. "Today, Dawnflower found some poison that the Twolegs have left behind on our territory. I have seen it myself, and so has Inershia. She says that it is a poison of some sort that the Twolegs did indeed make, and that she's seen them get sick off it before."

She cleared her throat. "It is located near the ShadowClan border, in the part of the territory where the pines grow. I urge you not to go near, touch, or drink it. This is for your own sake. Also, keep a look out for more of it. We need to know if there is just that, or if it is throughout the territory. Thank you!"

With that, Nightstar sighed. She needed rest, she was tired... she'd go lay down in her den for a bit... and sleep...

[Tenarist]

Inershia poked her nose through the gorse, smelling. Then, she quickly shrugged her way out and sat down behind Nightstar. "Nightstar. I smelled more of it on my way here." she flattened her ears. "I accidentally stepped in it... the smell was too overwhelming."

Then, she lifted up her leg, and showed them the swollen paw.

[Nightstar]

Nightstar jumped up, hissing. "That looks bad... all the more reason not to step in it. It's not thick enough to track into the camp, thank StarClan. Why don't you see if we can get Dawnflower to take a look at that. All the better, if she can find an herb to heal it."

She nodded. "Normally, we don't take outsiders and help them like this, but you're different, Inershia. I consider you like a member of our Clan, friendship wise. Sadly, I don't think you'd be normally allowed to stay in the camp, but you're injured. If you'll fit in Dawnflower's den, you can stay for now."

She leapt down from the ledge, tail up, and flicked it to signal the dog to follow.

[Tenarist]

Inershia frowned. "If I can 'fit' into her den. I highly doubt it." then, she walked down the rock and limped after Nightstar.

Then, Inershia stopped. "I don't think I'll fit... and this hurts. I might as well go wash the poison off." she sighed.

[Nightstar]

Nightstar whirled around. "DON'T LICK IT!" she hissed. "Do you want that foul stuff poisoning you if you ingest it? If you start licking it there's no guarentee that you'll not swallow any on accident!"

Then, she relaxed a bit. "Sorry for shouting, but I had to make sure that you stopped. And anyways, maybe you won't fit in Dawnflower's den, but I should still get her to take a look. We should clean it out in a safer way, and also see what herbs she thinks are best for treating that."

Nightstar then nodded back over her shoulder at Inershia, and ran into Dawnflower's den to see if she was there.
