Raineyes turned over sleepily, a few feathers sticking to the back of her pale gray pelt. It was just past dawn, judging by the light filtering into the nursery, and the night's chill still nipping the air. Her blue eyes blinked slowly as a strange scent reached the roof of her mouth. Some kind of berry, one that smelled entirely too sweet. Its scent was sharp enough that she guessed the berries had been broken open for some reason. Perhaps Amberkit or one of the apprentices had been playing in one of the bushes surrounding the camp? She didn't know if any of them had berries on them, but the scent was worth checking out, if only to be safe.
Laboriously hauling herself to her paws, Raineyes pushed her way past the brambles surrounding the nursery, only to stop dead. Sheeppaw lay prone on the group, deathberries staining his jaws and front paws, and Dawnwhisker lay not far away, the same purple juices staining her fur. Horrfied, Raineyes backed into the nursery, urgently rousing her fellow queens. "Shadespots, Mossfire, wake up, quickly!" She kept her voice pitched low enough as not to wake Amberkit; she didn't want the young kit to see.
