((Pearlkit's POV))

((5 Moons after trailer))


 Pearlkit ran in happy circles around Starlingkit, hoping the noise that was near Starlingkit's ears would wake her up so they could play moss-ball outside the nursery. Starlingkit's drowsy pale blue eyes opened up. It seemed like only a moon ago, her blue eyes were brighter. Pearlkit wondered why they dimmed. Starlingkit groaned and sat up, shaking her messy, sleep drowsed fur.

"Come on!" Pearlkit whined impatiently. Starlingkit got up with a small bounce. Pearlkit dashed out of the den as soon as Starlingkit got up to go get a ball of moss. Pearlkit went into the medicine den and saw a large fluffy looking black cat. "Excuse me, but can we have a ball of moss please?"

The large black tom turned around. If Pearlkit remembered correctly, his name was Nightfeather from when her mother was talking with another warrior. Nightfeather looked down at her and she squirmed a little, his intense blue eyes scaring her slightly. Nightfeather gave an angry sigh and passed her a bundle of the fluffy green moss. She grabbed it in her small jaws and was about to leave before Nightfeather spoke. "By the way, mind if you eat these? I've noticed you are...small."

He passed her small scarlet berries. They looked really good! These were supposed to help her size? Her small pale amber eyes widened and she sniffed them. "These are supposed to help my size?" She asked hesitantly

Nightfeather nodded "Yes. Just eat them here now. Your mother doesn't really like me.."

Pearlkit's small head turned to the side before she shrugged and dropped the small green bundle that was hanging in her jaws and she sniffed the berries again. As her small jaws opened, she heard her mother's voice; "Pearlkit where are you?"

Pearlkit straightened. "I should get to my mother." She went to grab the small moss bundle in her jaws again but Nightfeather rolled it away. "Eat the berries first."

Pearlkit's small tan paws shuffled and she sighed, wanting to be big and strong, she was about to pop one of the yummy looking scarlet berries into her jaws, but her mother came in to the medicine den.

"Pearlkit what are you-" She broke off as her eyes widened into an expression Pearlkit couldn't name. "NIGHTFEATHER! WHAT IN THE FALLING STARS NAME ARE YOU DOING!?" Whitewhisper practically shrieked in horror. She roughly grabbed Pearlkit by her scruff with a small complainant squeak from her. Nightfeather rolled his eyes. "Nothing. Just remember, you can't tell Ashstar or I'll tell him that these filthy kits are half clan."

Whitewhisper's eyes widened further and she hissed, walking out of the medicine den and back into the nursery. "Starlingkit come on." She spoke in a muffled, angry voice.

In the den, she dropped the squirming Pearlkit onto the nest. Pearlkit squeaked. "Mom, why'd you stop him? He was giving me stuff to make me bigger!" Her mother hissed. "Never eat those berries Pearlkit. Those are called Deathberries and will kill you."

Pearlkit's small eyes widened and she curled up next to her mother, slightly shaking at the fact that the medicine cat lied to her and almost murdered her. She barely felt her mother's comforting licks as she dozed off due to panic.
